My mp3 is perfectly crackle-free, and I think I'd ask for my own 12" single to be played (and I'd demand for the whole lot of them to sing along to all the songs). However, I also want to be buried with all my records, so they'd have to put it in my coffin when they're done.Motz wrote:I think "A.

Tis a good choice admittedly, but I'd hate to have my copy of it played...all crackly and ripped-from-poor-vinyl
No Time To Cry would tell the mourners to dry their eyes, it's only a bleedin' funeral.
Blood Money to symbolise that they might get something off me, now I'm dead.
Bury Me Deep to say "But don't forget, I'm dead."
And then maybe the Rhapsody song "Emerald Sword" to really surprise them.

'inside' doesn't scan properly I still reckon its 'in silence' a lot of the lyrics you find online are bogus, in fact I mean logicDark wrote: (Though, I admit, until I reread it, I thought it was "Bury me, in silence" not "Bury me, inside")

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Well, if the song is about sex, which I believe it is, then I'd say it's "inside", not the predictable morbidity of "in silence".
A sad, gothic obsession with death could backfire on you badly when the situation gets a bit more real.
Train is the SOM song about death, if there aren't more.
Here are my choices, any are appropriate, and they're nice tunes to boot - and I make no apology for my selection:
Chris Rea - Let's Dance ("while there's a chance and you're near"!)
Tom Cochrane - Life is a Highway
George Michael - Waiting For That Day
Martha Reeves - Jimmy Mack
Something off "New Gold Dream" by Simple Minds, perhaps
Art Of Noise - Moments in Love
Prince - Money Don't Matter Tonight
Sam Cooke - What a Wonderful World This Will Be (gee, thanks)
Paul McCartney - Goodnight Tonight
Walker Brothers - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore
Louis Armstrong - As Time Goes By
Phil Collins - Take Me Home

We had 'Stop This Train, I Want To Get Off' and 'One Love' by Bob Marley at my brothers funeral.
For mine?
Killing Jokes 'Requiem', Scott Walkers 'No Regrets', PiL's 'Public Image' (....goodbye.) and finally 'Heartland' because its simply the most wonderful record; Eldritch lyrically on the top of his game and some of Mr Marx's finest geetar work to boot.

Some obvious gloomy references in there but ultimately a song about finding your place at last, which is ironic for an aetheist!Lay me down the long white line
Leave the sirens far behind me
Paint my name in black and gold
My heart my flame my heart my road
My heartland fade across the line
Heartland sing the faces shining
In the failing failing failing
Heartland make the places mine
Clearly now the past mistakes
The giant steps we had to take
The path that ever promise made to
Die in dream dissolve and fade
Behind the lines a face that glimmers
Still looking for a face that shines
In the promise in the places
I'm going to make them mine
Something pithy.

heartland/gimme shelter. without a shadow of a doubt.the best single side of a record ever pressed IMO.has never failed to cheer me up once in the last 20 years,no matter what assorted bollox ive been going through.
totally awesome
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

This isn't a song, but today I was lying bored and naked in my bedroom (as you do when it's hot and you suffer from migraines) and I started thinking about what I would like my funeral to be like.
I've decided I want a Viking funeral at dusk, there's just something beautiful about it that I like alot.

I'm not even trying to be funny this time, but I'm honest.
I've long ago decided that at my funeral first they'll have to play "Bury Me Deep" to make sure everybody cries properly (or else shivers), and after the speech(es) that hopefully won't be held by a priest, I want "Temple Of Love".
Imagine both songs in a church......

It would definitely have to be the Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Fire....
That would be my signing off tune for sure as the box enters the flames...
