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...
Ok this is all sappy music but it's very good for my personality
1. Nan's Song- Robbie Williams
2. Beautiful Child- Rufus Wainwright (Recessional)
3. Blessed Assurance-old hymnal
4. Over the Rainbow-Rufus Wainwight again
5. That's Life-Frank Sinatra (gotta have happy tunes also)

1.The End - The Doors
2.No Surprises - Radiohead
3.Agaetis Byrjun - Sigur Ros

4) Life Goes On - 2Pac
5) Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
6) Soon As I Get Home - Faith Evans

Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis
Missing You - Puff Daddy & Faith Evans
The Message - Dr Dre
Coldplay - Clocks
Miss You - Aaliyah
this is a hard one...
1. cannonball-damien rice (i know it's a broody relationship song, but i think the lyrics are nice for a funeral)
2. true love waits-radiohead (ditto above)
3. fix you-coldplay (i would hope that this is how some people would feel when i die!)
4. of angels and angles-the decemberists (i think the lyrics are really pretty and somewhat relevant)
5. in my life-the beatles (it's cliche, but classic)
