Your final song or tune
went to the funeral of an old cycling aquaintance today, at 72 he was still racing and winning events in his class (king vet).
Sadley he passed away in his sleep following a suspected heart attack. So family and friends had packed the chapel, as he was a well known and liked bloke. We heard the eulogies from family and friends, and then the service finished with the vicar asking us to give a moment of silence before the coffin was taken away. As the moment of silence came to and end, the first bars of the song started over the speaker system.........
It instantly lightened the mood and there was laughter around the chapel. Even though there were tears from his close family, it was a fitting song to say goodbye So what would your final song be? Led Zep - Stairway to Heaven  Monty Python- Always look on the Bright side.  Mine would prbably be a Springsteen track, but I haven't made up my mind yet  After the thread about wills the other day, you might need to write down your last wishes.  Not that I'm thinking any gloomy thoughts

Re: Your final song or tune
"Always look on the bright side of life," aptly from The Life of Brian.
I've also picked 2 hymns, and left instructions that no one wears black ties. The more colourful the better. I was tempted to go for a New Orleans jazz band thing for after the coffin goes for cooking but thought that a bit obtuse.

Re: Your final song or tune
My mates Dad was born (many moons ago) and 'Entry of the Gladiators' was playing on the radiogram (guessing it wasn't a DAB set anyway).
He insists this is played at his funeral. http://www.ctunes.eu/realtone/fucik_..._ctunes_eu.mp3 Seriously. Last edited by Fruity-ya-ya; 10-02-11 at 07:29 PM. |

Re: Your final song or tune
Well some interesting tracks coming up
As folk walk into my service perhaps some soothing Acker Bilk - A deeply sentimental song from my youth 
Or something to reflect my working life
