After all these years I found my funereal song. What's yours?

Wicked Lester · June 25, 2011, 03:15:05 AM

C,mon. I don't believe in big $$$ burials and long good byes. I used to think a 60 minute CD of my fave punk/H.C metal but this one kinda says it all. I'm sure I'll dig up a couple more but short and sweet is what it's all about,right? You're here and then suddenly you fade out and your gone.

DEMONAZ - "Dying Sun" from "March of the Norse"

My favorite quote from a GREAT movie Scrooge 1970. "There is not enough time to do or say all the things we would wish,the thing is to do as much as you can in the time that you have ...time is short and suddenly you're not there..anymore.

Mine will be "Christine's Lullaby" from the 1943 PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, sung in French, and Michael Crawford's "Music of the Night"...also from PHANTOM...

"E"

Dunno about songs, yet.

But the reading will be from Luke:

"Why seek ye the living among the dead?"

Mine: "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You."

Here's one that I'm considering ...

Eric Burdon - The Animals - We Gotta Get Out Of This Place

The Big Ship- Brian Eno

Brian Eno "The Big Ship"

Street Worm: I have had a copy of this album for years, based on it's rep among prog rock fans. I'm gonna have to give it another try. It just never clicked with me.

Probably not for everybody, but it'll always be in my top ten albums of all time list...

I'll always remember playing it for my buddy of mine in high school who listened for a while &
then jumped up with a big "No!" & as he headed to the turntable to remove it he added:
"this is music for Crazy People"

Trust me on this one: I have many cd's that people hear me listening to and just shake their heads. Or run away. LOL!!! Many of them involve Robert Fripp for some reason...

Craig, I'll follow your lead. Perfection.

Flower, I had to laugh at your choice, love your sense of humor. My choice for a funeral song is also my favorite song, SEASONS IN THE SUN by Terry Jacks. That song about dying seems appropriate.

Why be appropriate .. this is another one of my choices ...

Not sure about a song, but always thought this recitation by Jonathan Frid of Christina Georgina Rossetti's (1830-1894) poem was hauntingly appropriate for my dismissal from this earthly plane.
