seriously no one has said jeff buckley?!?!?  :bye2:

 

hallelujah - jeff buckley ( 

)

 

last goodbye - jeff buckley ( 

)

 

somewhere over the rainbow - israel kamakawiwo 'ole ( 

)

 

oh say can you see - lana del rey ( 

)

 

i think all of these songs are beautiful (sonically) and would be a nice way to go out by. and i just need jeff and lana.

 

before belting out scarface, so legit, go go dancer and playing tropico with strobe lights and poll dancing eve's at my funeral after party  :woot:

I have found myself thinking about this quite often... but I always come to the same conclusion. Some might say it's a little dramatic and over-the-top for a funeral, but I like the chamber sound it has, and especially its lyrics! I think this is a wonderful message to send out at a funeral, since funerals aren't necessarily an event of joy. "You will never ever be forgotten by me in the procession of the mighty storm" - isn't it nice to have this sung at a funeral? I think it applies to both parties: the one who's passed and the attendees.

"Carry"

 

Love hold my hand
Help me see with the dawn
that those that have left
are not gone
But they carry on
as stars looking down
as Nature's Sons
and Daughters of the Heavens

You will not ever be forgotten by me
In the precession of the mighty stars
your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
here I will carry, carry, carry you
Forever

You have touched my life
so that now cathedrals of sound are singing
are singing

The waves have come to walk with you
to where you will live in the Land of Youth
Land of Youth

You will not ever be forgotten by me
In the precession of the mighty stars
your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
here I will carry, carry, carry you
here I will carry, carry, carry you forever

no but jk. I'll get back to you. If I had to pick a Lana song though, I think Bel Air would be a good choice.

 

On a related note, I made the playlist for my mom's funeral! I tried to pick a mix of songs that she liked and songs that I like that I thought would just be good for the showing and fit her personality. The ultimate track however was definitely Dancing Queen by Abba. That was her song, she was the Dancing Queen. I remember that she loved that song and it was the first favorite song I had as a child too.  :flutter:
