Music for a Funeral

[Midnight]

About 15 years ago, my nephew and I were chewing the cud over a few beers and some electro/ambient music. I played The Orb's Oxbow Lakes, and he told me it was his favourite track and when he died he'd like it to be played at his funeral. By a strange twist of fate, he died suddenly about two months later. He was interred, so the track was played during the church service. I've still got that very same cd, but I can't bring myself to play that track since.

Not sure what I'd want playing at my funeral but I'd want something more upbeat... Fat-Bottomed Girls would be a good one, and bury me with my bike!

Not really crematorium style, but I want this to be SUNG at my funeral. I performed on a number of recordings of early venetian choral music, and this will tingle my spine every time I hear it.

This isn't the best version I can find, New College Choir do an awesome version, but it's truncated for Youtube

"Always Look On The Bright Side" ?

 

[stephec]

Paradise City - Guns + Roses

And it's been said already, but it's a good choice and I want it as well so here it is- Highway To Hell

What about some Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast - I wish I could be there to see peoples faces when that's playing, almost worth faking your own death for.

As i was slowly detached from whatever orbital vehicle we're using at the time, directed into deep space.

choir version tho, the string version is beautiful but the choir version would make even my dead hairs stand on end...
