So What Song Sums Up Your Life when you Die?

[imhotep the 2nd]

A slight morbid thread, but I quite like listening to sad songs.It brings out my emotional feelings from inside of me.For some strange reason, I feel better after listening to some sad songs....I know, that does sound a bit weird!!
But, that's how I feel on this matter!!
These songs sum up my life when I die.....(shudders at the thought of death)
My emotions are high when I listen to this following song....there is a same song by Eric Clapton, but I prefer this more moving version....

Here is another song, with a wonderful Latin chant at the beginning.....I like the Latin language,so thankfully I know a fair bit of this ancient tongue....
It's by Libera...

and another moving song by Snow Patrol....there are other moving songs,but I will leave it there for now.

Putting all joking aside, the following songs are what's going to be played at my graveside. Some other stuff is earmarked for the Chaple at various parts of the Mass, but hey! Sure you'd all be aware of it if I told you now, and when YOU are all at me funeral, You'd not be able to spill the tears out!

Right the Grave Side!

Awww - very nice Toula... except that if you have those played at your graveside, folk are going to be standing around for quite a long time!! : )

[imhotep the 2nd]

Oh yes, I agree Icey.....

There is another song I might consider for myself......
another sad kind of song, but hey, I like moving songs.
It's by Snow Patrol again, and I'm fond of this one...

[pilvikki]

g/f and i are looking around an old church in sweden; from 12th century. we found it excruciatingly boring and were just leaving when we saw some people heading towards the entrance -- carrying a coffin.

Hi,

Do you Realize by The Flaming Lips has been a favourite funeral song of mine for a while:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzR7u4rwFSY

The song is almost ethereal and the lyrics are just beautiful. It says we all die but instead of dwelling on loss, make the most of the time you have with the people most important to you. My favourite lyric is "you realize the sun don't go down, it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round".

I think it'll take a lot for a more relevant song for me to change my mind.

[imhotep the 2nd]

To be alive,and live to a good age is a miracle in itself!!!

[Ice.Maiden]

I want this - Mother and Father, by Nightwish. It's a live version performed last year, and not as good as the the studio one or the one on their album, but I love it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuBDXwEzBzw

Lyrics: " MOTHER & FATHER"

Be still, my son
You're home
Oh when did you become so cold?
The blade will keep on descending
All you need is to feel my love

Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all, bleed no more
You have such oceans within
In the end
I will always love you

The beginning.

[imhotep the 2nd]

That was a really nice choice of song Ice maiden.
Although like you said, it wasn't as good as the studio one or the one on their album.
But despite that, it was a very emotional song by Anette!!

[Ice.Maiden]

Don't think she can reach the notes when she sings it live - but yes!!

[Tomsk]

DOWN DOWN,Status quo
Great balls of fire,jerry lee lewis
I told you Iwas Ill, Spike Milligan

[Ice.Maiden]

Oh the last one - LOLOLOL!!!!!!!

[Tomsk]

Why thank u ice........never d eny the pleasure of your funny bone as it may one day drop off.....Ken Dodd....How tickled I am..

[imhotep the 2nd]

Well, you know what they say Tomsk.
Laughter is the best medicine that you can get.There's enough doom and gloom in the world as it is.
Oh, and by the way, Ken Dodd is one of my favourite classic comedians...
I like this song from the Diddymen...lol...enjoy!!
