Music at your Memorial Service

[Couloir]

What songs would you like played?

 

I'm still working on my list. Since they'll only be two or three people there, I should probably ask what their favorites are.

 

List.

[Dechristo]

Clair De Lune

Moonlight Sonata

 

The music for my wake should be raucous.

 

On the tombstone:

"He lived life for better or worse. Now, he's dead for good."

[Dechristo]

...and this photo enlarged facing me atop my casket.

 

[rbw1966]

"god hates us all"

[Hendershot]

Eddie Walker by Ben Folds

Fond Farewell by Elliott Smith

Be Quite and Drive (Far Away) - Deftones

[KaskadskyjKozak]

Clair De Lune

Moonlight Sonata

 

The music for my wake should be raucous.

 

On the tombstone:

"He lived life for better or worse. Now, he's dead for good."

 

I assume that would be the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata?

"all apologies"

don't know if it's for me, but "rastaman chant" was bob marley's memorial song and a damned fitting one

Jim Anglins widow played the Melisa Etheridge song "Angel" at his funeral (amoungst other songs) It stuck out amongst the others, for me.

 

It was so pretty, sad and sweet all at once. Perfect in fact. The story line of the song was written for (or about) the Smashing Pumpkins guitarist and is about Heroin Addiction. Everytime I hear it I think of him now.

 

Jimmy O, Josh and I were in Parker landing quaffing beers after a hard day of thrashing couple of weeks ago and they played it like 3 times while we were in there. I stopped the discussion and pointed it out the first time. The next times Jim noted it. Funny thing was I'd though of JimA a couple of times that very day while hanging off the cliff, thinking he'd like to have been out with us, it wasn't far from his home where we were. Maybe it was the proximity to his home that caused this, as I rarely think of him.

 

When I go home later the very same day, I pulled the Willamette guidebook off my shelf for the first time since I'd bought it like 8 months or so ago. Was going to see if a site near Detroit I'd found was in there. I'd bought 2 copies of this off Jim after they revised and updated it. Jim's picture was on the cover (clipping some bolts *cough*cough*). I opened it up and he'd penned me a note on the inside cover......pretty strange for all in one day.....

"The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out

The ones that crawl out are fat and stout

Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out

Your brains come tumbling down your snout

 

Be merry my friends

Be merry"

[ken4ord]

I could care less what they play, I'll be dead.

[Dechristo]

I'd like any eulogies to be interrupted by the sound of a fart coming from my casket followed shortly by a recording of my voice asking, in an accusing tone, "WHO CUT DA CHEESE!?"

[cheamclimber]

If I havent climbed it yet when I die I think my casket should be hauled up the nose
