I've noticed all these song threads popping up and I've been wondering about this one for a while. I guess it all stems from when I went to a friends funeral last year and people were suggesting songs that I was pretty sure he didn't like.

The way I see it, fuck if the song is considered 'too sad' - it's a funeral, anything played will already be sad.

I guess if I had to pick, mine would probably be -
 
  1. Alice In Chains - Nutshell (Live)
  2. Homesick - The Cure
  3. Street Spirit (Fade Out) - Radiohead

 My funeral would have to be like 5 hours long.
When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

its mainly because blink 182 are the band that started my music career starting to learn instruments etc. (still my all time fav band)

and since pretty much EVERYONE knows that particular song by blink i guess it was the obvious choice..

id preferably have something else but i think it would be better for a song by them that everyone knows..

dont exactly care about the lyrics for that particular song.. its just a song to show my music roots..

Isnt it just. Its my fav record I own. Great Chill out music and beautiful vocals

Off of Blue Six, Reubs and I are having 'Lets do it together' featuring Lisa Shaw played sometime in our wedding. Havn't decided if it will be in the Ceremony or waltz just yet. Love Love Love Lisa Shaw. I recommend anyone who likes chilled out relax quality house or soulful beats to listen to her stuff.

yeah fair call here... this is one of if not my favourite Cinematic Orchestra
tune...

Okay so my revised lineup is as follows:

Played in this order:

All Things to All Men/Roots Manuva/Cinematic Orchestra

Torn:Omni Trio

R.I.P Remix

but theres a subclause:

If I die a fiery death or am cremated I want 'Lighter' and then 'Fire' by prizna

I think thats rather appropriate....
