Songs you'd like played at your funeral & why.
Macabre subject I know, but what song(s) would you like played at your funeral and why?
1. Debbie Taylor - "I don't wanna leave you".
In my estimation the best and most passionate female vocal performance ever committed to record. Whilst the subject matter isn't about death but a broken marriage / relationship this song can reduce even the hardest of men to pensive contemplation. Mrs Angry, and anyone with a heart and ears, will dig this choice of song.
2. Foo Fighters - "Learn to fly".
The unique drum pattern had myself and colleagues befuddled for months as to how it was arrived at. Rhythmically the song makes no sense yet it's perfect musically. I think Grohl excelled himself lyrically, musically and vocally on this particular track. A lot of my mates from my past profession would "get this".

Deelite - Groove is in the Heart. Just for giggles really. I used to wear Pucci hot pants and do the dance in my clubbing days.
Michael Buble - Song for You. *swoon*

Lustral - Everytime (Way Out West remix)
I really like the chilled track that it is and the lyrics.
Quote:
Lustral - Everytime (Way Out West remix)
Can you hear me,
Talking in my mind.
I can feel you,
You're with me all the time.
Everytime I close my eyes,
I see your face.
Everytime I close my eyes,
I see your face
There's a warm sky,
covering the night.
In the darkness,
I only feel the light.
Everytime I close my eyes,
I see your face.
Everytime I close my eyes,
I see your face.
Everytime I close my eyes,
I see your face.
When I'm lonely,
your voice is in my head.
And my memory feeds my soul,
with all the things you've said.
Everytime I close my eyes,
I see your face.
Everytime I close my eyes,
I see your face.
Everytime I close my eyes,
I see your face.

Chicane - No Ordinary Morning

Re: Songs you'd like played at your funeral & why.
Ashes to Ashes, maybe, or The Drugs Don't Work? Spirit in the Sky. Knock on Wood (en lid). First Cut is the Deepest. Um - I'll think of more in time.
Amazing Grace or Abide With Me - guaranteed to get the hankies out.

Apparently "Queen - Another One Bites The Dust" is quite popular.

Re: Songs you'd like played at your funeral & why.
