What Song Would You Play at Your Funeral?

A friend asked me this question and recently and had to think about it for a while.

Personally, Ocean Man by Ween would be my choice because its the perfect song to the end of one of my favorite movies. Also, just slaps overall and makes me happy.

What would be your choice?

 

Oh damn, sick, cuz I've had this all planned.

One single song is hard to narrow down to, and it's too short anyway so I would settle for a playlist. I think it wouldn't be fair to whittle down my life's ideologies to a single song anyway.

The playlist would be, in no particular order:

1) Helena - My Chemical Romance

2) Cemetery Drive - MCR

3) The End

4) Dead!

5) Welcome to the Black Parade

Then I'll transition to heavy, catchy, upbeat rock and roll.

Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold

Welcome to the Family - Avenged Sevenfold

The Pretender - Foo Fighters

Etc

The playlist essentially transitions from traditional death songs, to lively rock and roll as a symbol of me jammin' it in the afterlife

Requiem in D by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; and/or any other pieces of sacred music that the Canon of the Holy Mass (1962 Tridentine form) would suggest.

And perhaps at the wake, as a tribute to my relationship with my wife, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Johann Sebastian Bach. It's a traditional piece for use with the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, and I'd like it to play at the Nuptial Mass when my wife walks down the aisle. (My parents did the same thing twenty-nine years ago.)

(EDIT: The entirety of Requiem is fifty-five minutes long, but if you have time I highly suggest listening to it.)

Great question! Music can be so personal and meaningful. For me, "Imagine" by John Lennon is my go-to. Its lyrics are powerful, and it's a song that transcends generations. Plus, it carries a message of hope and unity, something I'd like to leave behind.

 

This is the worst song ever written. Imagine is a commie, one-world government, humanist God-hating song about the evils of private property rights, the notion that religion causes all of the world's conflicts, complete abdication of personal responsibility and consequent destruction of the nuclear family. 

Enjoy, comrade.

Selecting the right song for your funeral is quite a meaningful decision. "Ocean Man" by Ween sounds like a wonderful choice, especially with its nostalgic tie to one of your favorite movies and its overall uplifting melody. As for me, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Green Day holds a special place in my heart.
