How about "at your funeral" by Saves The Day?

I think Dreamweaver would be my choice. I love that song.

Dream Weaver
Gary Wright

I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind

(chorus)
Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget todays pain

(chorus again)

Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side

(chorus again, then fade out with the following
repeated several times...)

Dream weaver

cool and rather odd thread I think though as a guitar head id have to have

Joe Walsh - Lifes been good to me so far through a marshall Double stack of course

WELCOME BACK!!!


I think "Fade to Black" by Metallica would be a good song, even though the theme is suicide (which I would never even consider). It's just a beautiful song about death. Excellent solo too!

Sympathy for the Devil- Stones..

A few ideas:
Steve Kimock - Tongue N Groove
Zero - Forever is Nowhere
Grateful Dead - Black Muddy River
Dead - Brokedown Palace

Moonlight Serenade- Glenn Miller

That would be the perfect funeral song!

There's a few other Flogging Molly songs I'd consider. Um, that one about the guy that works on the rails. It's kind of melancholy.

I also think I'd choose Freebird, just because that would be the pinnacle of classic West Virginian behavior.

And Dust in the Wind, because I think it just feels right.

my friends and i have discussed this.......
clayton chooses "watching the wheels go round" john lennon......
.....myself......."peace in the valley" elvis presley

I've decided not to die. I refuse to accept that I will die simply because everybody else ahead of me has so far.

But if I WERE to die, it would be Crosby, Stills, and Nash's "Find the Cost of Freedom." The entire lyrics are as follows:

Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground.
Mother Earth will swallow you, lay your body down.

I know it's a protest song about Kent State, but I think it would be appropriate for me, too.

that's it, pick of the litter. though i always get this confused with begin the beguine for some reason. just the name, not the actual song. but yes, moonlight serenade wins

the theme from terminator 2, the one that is playing while he is being lowered into the molten steel

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - What a wonderful world/Somewhere over the rainbow medley

maybe something by sarah maclachlan

Let it Be. The Beatles. Not a big Beatles fan, but for me it seems to say it all.

My song of choice as well...Someone remember to play it for me.....Please. : )

That is exactly my song of choice.Someone remember to play it for me....

Another one I think would be good would be The Band's "I Shall be Released".

"Tears in heaven" Eric Clapton

I'd like Immortal by Evanescence or The Scientist by Coldplay to be played at my funeral. I love both of the pieces and they each fall into a gloomy, haunting, melodramatic mood set so right for something such as a funeral.

The last song from George Harrison's tribute concert is an awesome song for any funeral...

Lonely days are long
Twilight sings a song
All the happiness that used to be
Soon my eyes will close
Soon I'll find repose
And in dreams you're always near to me
I'll see you in my dreams
Hold you in my dreamsSomeone took you out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams

The words of Amazing Grace sung to the tune of the Giligan's Island theme.

pink floyd - wish you were here, set controls for the heart of the sun

radiohead - exit music (for a film)
along with fake plastic trees, bullet proof, motion picture soundtrack, optimistic, disappear... so many good radiohead songs for funerals or such...

I'm almost scared about how easy it is for radiohead to fit a funeral...

the single most haunting version of Amazing Grace -Judy Collins

Swing Low, sweet Cadillac - Dizzy Gillespie

Happy Trails to you - whomever

I'm going to choose: Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
