given that laura's dad dies, and this topic comes up, i was wondering what everyone thinks would be their top 5 funeral songs-
any medium- band, sung by your widow- whatever.
here are mine-
1. the end- the doors
2. alone i break- korn
3. imagine- a perfect circle
4. lost cause- beck
5. suspended in dusk- type o negative
i am looking foreward to reading yours...
1. Ripple - Grateful Dead
2. Eastern Glow - The Album Leaf
3. Shine on You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd
4. Divided Sky - Phish
5. My Fathers Eyes - Eric Clapton
6. Load Out - Jackson Browne (Cut before it gets to "Stay")
5. Last Goodbye-Jeff Buckley
4. Life by the Drop-Stevie Ray Vaughan
3. I'll Back You Up-Dave Matthews
2. He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother-The Hollies
1. These are the days-Van Morrison
1:I'm only sleeping-the beatles
2:Story of a girl-nine days
3:Our house-Crosby stills and Nash
4:Asleep-the smiths
5:I did it my way-syd vicious
I'd also like 'sunscreen' by baz lurman (sp?) to be played as advice for everyone attending the funeral. Also, if a georgeous boy requested to play a song for me, I always hoped it would be 'strange and beautiful' by aqualung.
