No wake for me either - just a big party with lots of good music and booze. the must-play tune is Bad by U2.

Lots of good stuff here already-Brokedown Palace is my first, Keep Heart in Your Heart is another, but I'd also like Forever Young....

Actually, that's exactly what a wake is. This thread seems to be intermingling funeral and wake, even though they're very different things. (And I am guilty, too - just going along with the tide)

So, Play "Dead Man" by Neil Young at the funeral, but start the wake off with "Monkey Man" by the Stones and get that party rockin! The booze is free, cuz Mike is buyin!

Space in Time. Now thats good.

Let me restate. I used Wake as a euphemism. What I really meant, when you have gone to the great gig in the sky and your buds are hanging (family too). What is that one song, ok maybe two or three, that you leave them with?

There are some really great ideas here. I am thinking of a compilation. Into the Mystic

Never really thought about it...

To me, death is just a part of life. Once I'm gone, I really don't care what my family does at the wake/funeral (personally, I just wanna be burned and tossed in the ocean). Whatever makes them feel good, I suppose.

This!

I suppose "Life by the drop" or "Tick tock" by SRV wouldn't suck.

Ironical... I usual don't listen to rock radio because of the excessive commercials... however I was out running some errands and decided to pump some tunes... and this came on:



I am still living with your ghost
lonely and dreaming of the west coast
i dont want to be your down time
i dont want to be your stupid game
with my big black boots and an old suitcase
i do belive ill find myself a new place
i dont want to be tha bad guy
i dont want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
i just want to see some palm trees
i will try to shake away this disease

we can live beside the ocean
linger far behind
swim out past the breaker
watch the world die x2

i am still dreaming of your face
hungry and hollow from the pain you took away
i dont want to be your good time
i dont want to be your fallback crutch anymore
walk right up you brand new day
your same horizon in my own wearedway
i dont want to be tha bad guy
i dont want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
i just want to feel some downside
i just want to find some place to be alone

we can live beside the ocean
linger far behind
swim out past the breaker
watch the world die x4

oh!
yeah, watch the world die
yeah, yeah watch the world die
wooah, yeah, watch the world die
yeah watch the world die

No wake for me. Just a pig roast with karaoke. Seriously.

Threadsurrection!

Friend of my has Cycstic Fibrosis. She recently posted this video on Facebook. She's in her mid 30s... about the average life expectancy for someone with CF.

I'm thinking this song is going to make it on a lot of funeral playlists. One Republic - I Lived.

I loved my wife from the moment she took a look at me and said something sarcastic, which I returned with gusto.

I am still in love, always will be.
