Funeral Playlist
While making dinner and listening to music my 19 y/o and I had a peculiar thought about what music we would prefer to be played at our funerals. Not planning on one anytime but just playing the what if game.
Mine, in no particular order, were as follows. Stevie Ray Vaughn-The things that I used to do Talking Heads-This must be the place Velvet Underground-Waiting for my man New Order- Radiohead-Subteranean Alien Flaming Lips- and finally Hans Schubert- Unfinished Symphony I'd like a light show and beer to be served. Has anyone else considered thier funeral playlist? Have you been to an unusual funeral? I definately don't want the organ music and would consider giving copies of the soundtrack as momentos. Scott

burn me and smoke me or snort me.... which ever you prefer... or leave me in the woods for the animals...
I like the idea of music momentos from the funeral. As for songs I need to think about this and get back to everyone. I can't remember the names... darn stroke... messed with my memory...

More seriously though...
"The Famous Final Scene" - Bob Seger Think in terms of bridges burned Think of seasons that must end See the rivers rise and fall They will rise and fall again Everything must have an end Like an ocean to a shore Like a river to a stream Like a river to a stream Its the famous final scene And how you tried to make it work Did you really think it could How you tried to make it last Did you really think it would Like a guest who stayed too long Now its finally time to leave Yes, its finally time to leave Take it calmly and serene Its the famous final scene Its been coming on so long You were just the last to know Its been a long time since youve smiled Seems like oh so long ago Now the stage has all been set And the nights are growing cold Soon the winter will be here And theres no one warm to hold Now the lines have all been read And you knew them all by heart Now you move toward the door Here it comes the hardest part Try the handle of the road Feeling different feeling strange This can never be arranged As the light fades from the screen From the famous final scene Randy
