don’t fear the reaper.

‘Sleepwalk,’ The Santo and Johnny version.

I choreographed my funeral just in case I didn’t make it thru brain surgery in 97′. My #1 song was ‘One Headlight’ by the Wallflowers.

THE FUNERAL SONG

“Find the River”, REM.

Girlfriend in a Coma – Smiths

My Wife and My Dead Wife – Robyn Hitchcock

Green Eyes – Coldplay

I’ve already thought about this, and I want That’s How I Knew This Story Would Break Me Heart by Aimee Mann. Cos it’ll make everyone cry. Plus, I’d have to go with Funeral Song by Sleater-Kinney.

Here Without You by 3 Doors Down

Halleluiah the Jeff Buckley version

“Pick me up Before you Go-go” by Wham.

Either that or “It’s Raining Men.”

Undoubtedly the greatest funeral ever

“Son of a Preacherman”, because I am one. Preferably sung by someone who actually meant it, but I can live (or not, as it were) with Dusty Springfield.

surprise;you’re dead faith no more Going underground The Jam a beautiful thing Handsome family

I would have to say “The Long and Winding Road” by The Beatles. One of the best songs out there, bar none. “Oceans” by Pearl Jam is also a really cool, mellow song that I love.

How about the most obvious choice; “Man In The Box” ?

One – U2

Release – Pearl Jam

Lie in Our Graves – Dave Matthews Band

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For – U2

You Can’t Always Get What You Want – Rolling Stones

All Things Must Pass-George Harrison

See you on the other side-ozzy osbourne

and of course AC/DC’s “Ride on”

Great picks, but I’m going out 80s style…”Dead Man’s Party” by Oingo Boingo..

While I think “Find the River” by REM is about the most beautiful pop(?) song I’ve ever heard….is nobody here aware of a song by the The titled “Love is Stronger than Death”? EASILY the most moving rock/pop/funeral song.
Even though I hope not to die.

Gone to Carolina – shooter Jennings
Simple Man – Lynyrd Skynyrd
Sounds of Silence – Siman and Garfunkel
Release – Pearl Jam
Change – Blind Melon
Karma Police – Radiohead (cause I am sure the karma police will have something to do with my demise)
Every breathe you take – sting
We Will become silhouettes – The postal service

and to finish things off with a little comedy

Dead man’s party – Clearstatic

Depends on what mood I’m in at the point of my death. If I die a happy man, I’ll take Peter Gabriel’s “Here Comes the Flood” (the 1991 piano version). If I die angry and bitter, my pick would be Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right”.
Other favorites:
Tom Waits – “I’m Still Here”
Leonard Cohen – “Last Year’s Man”
Porcupine Tree – “Collapse the Light into Earth”

Queen “Made In Heaven”
Madonna “La Isla Bonita”
Cinderella “Heartbreak Train”

many rivers to cross
