Songs You Want Played at Your Funeral

Please give the reason(s) for each choice, if possible.

For my choices, I'm quoting the parts of the songs that best describe me.

New Order - "Crystal"

I'm applauded
Then forgotten
It was summer
Now it's autumn

Prince - "Money Don't Matter 2 Night"

Money don't matter 2 night
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when u think u've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away
That's when u find out that u're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright
Cuz money didn't matter yesterday,
And it sure don't matter 2 night

Not a song, but I asked my kids to wear this at my funeral.

Anything Enya. 'On my way home' always had me thinking of a life better than this earth.

To open the festivities:



To end 'em:




...and to open the wake.



...and to end it.




Otherwise? As long as it brings smiles to faces, I don't care.

I want this read upon your funeral:

I am a wicked man, I am a sinner, I am a crook, I had what was coming to me along with the rest. I was washed away, it happened so fast I didn't even see it coming. I was alive then I was gone, and now I am in hell.

Substructure - canis Major

I would say Nirvana's version of Seasons In the Sun.

Or maybe Pink Floyd's Echoes.

I'll go under to Abide With Me. Nice and traditional and in line with the idyllic surroundings of my local.

I think this fits my clan and life.
