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...
Across the Universe-The Beatles
When the Man Comes Around-Johnny Cash
In My Life-Johnny Cash(Beatles Cover)
Hey Hey My My-Neil Young
End it all with:
Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated-Rise Against
you can either die a hero, or live long enough to become a villain
Ok, I went through each one of these and nobod mentiioned this song...
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot
Im suprised. It was even mentioned in the movie. It was the song that Dick chooses and Barry says how good it is and how he should have chose. I know that these are personal choices but I gotta say, Im a little upset.
