Not that my untimely death is an expected outcome of my (thus far) short life, but tonight I was wondering: "When I die... how can I go off with a 'bang!'?"... and... "How will my closest family and friends know what I want when I go?"
I then thought that it would be important to start putting together a list of music that would be played at my funeral.
I want a song that will capture who I was... who I am... and what I want the world to take from me when I pass.
What better idea than to see if anyone out there is willing to give me a hand in deciding. I know you don't know me too well yet... but think outside the box. I'm a pretty alternative and ecclectic sort of guy and my taste in funeral music tends to reflect this. Here are some examples of what I mean:
Option 1: 'Time to Pretend' by MGMT
Option 2: 'Heartbeats' by The Knife
Option 3: 'Chicago' by Sufjan Stevens
Option 4: 'Crazy' by Alanis Morisette
Option 5: 'Dedication and Windsong' by James Horner
Option 6: 'Glosoli' by Sigur Ros
Option 7: 'Hands of Time' by Groove Armada
Option 8: 'Make Your Own Kind of Music' by Mamma Cass Elliot
Option 9: 'Someone Great' by LCD Sound System
Hopefully this will get the ball rolling :)
Thanks for tuning in for those who have.
wow i like how you think
ReplyDeletethis is a great idea! I often think of that too! I don't want sad depressive music to be played at my funeral, I want my music, my favourite stuff and sometimes I even wish that I be burried in jeans and a tee, and give my suit to someone needy! I think I'll have to create a "funeral playlist" after my final exam!
