Into The West by Annie Lennox, and I already have it picked out. Planned my whole memorial service and everything, and what to do with my body once I die. Reply #5. Jul 27 08, 9:13 PM |

At the Requiem Eucharist, it won't be songs, it will be hymns. The organ prelude/postludes will be movements from Bach's 'Italian Concerto', the hymns will be 'O,Jesus I Have Promised', 'The King of Love My Shepherd Is', 'Jesu, Lover of My Soul', 'Dear God, Compassionate and Kind', and 'Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven'. Psalm 139 will be chanted, and during Communion my Goddaughter the opera singer will sing 'I Know that My Redeemer Liveth' from Handel's 'Messiah'. At the bunfight following the service, the music will be eclectic - Celtic, jazz, Broadway, folk, rock, standards - everything but hiphop/rap/punk/grundge/heavy metal - none of which I consider to be music. My son says he's going to request 'Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone', which I take to be a loving tribute. Reply #7. Jul 30 08, 12:46 PM |

I was going to have Hotel California, but I've changed it to Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. Reply #10. Jul 30 08, 5:02 PM |

"If Tommorow Comes" would be a highly inappropriate but hilarious choice for me. Reply #11. Jul 30 08, 7:08 PM |

I think one of mine will be Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.....by the Monty Python lot.......a funeral is after all a celebration of a person's life. Reply #13. Jul 30 08, 8:21 PM |

borisanchovy, "Into the West" is my choice too. I also would like Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" (I think that's what it is called). It goes "Don't worry bout a thing, cause every little thing's going to be alright..." Reply #14. Jul 31 08, 2:54 AM |

I'm with demurechicky - I want Python's Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life. Slightly better choice than The Lumberjack Song! I would also like 'Rainbow Connection', by Kermit the Frog, and "No-One Lives Forever" by Oingo Boingo. For the wake, let's have "Dead Man's Party" also by Oingo Boingo. Most appropriate - I have an Irish heritage. Reply #15. Jul 31 08, 9:06 PM |

Thadpole, at the celebration of my husbands's life, a friend sang 'The Rainbow Connection' because, she said, every time she heard that song it reminded her of my husband and his philosophy of life. I was very touched - in fact, there wasn't a dry eye in the room! Of course, the main musical entertainment at the celebration of my husband was Bob Dylan. Larry had what we jokingly referred to as Random Access Memory - he couldn't remember how long we'd been married, what years our children were born (he however, he did remember that we had two sons and he was very fond of both of them) or anything like that, but if you asked him to recite the lyrics of any Bob Dylan song, he was word perfect!
