song played at your funeral

A mate of mine had “feeling hot hot hot” as he went down in the crem.

That’s my current plan that and, as an aside, anyone dressed in black is barred 😉

My playlist varies but I want this as my parting shot – the timing will need to be spot on with the final note as the curtains close again.

Everyone picking these inspired, deep and meaningful songs designed to make attendees consider what an amazing person you were, just bear in mind 99% of the people in the room are bored and thinking about food / football / child benefit cuts so do the right thing and don’t bother. It’s needlessly self-indulgent, nobody is sitting there thinking this is a great song wow that guy had such great taste, stop fantasising about yourself.

You will die. When you do don’t take up any more of our time than necessary.

‘Drink With Me’ from les Miserables. It would mean something to those who are important to me.

Original London Cast Version.

1) Monkey Gone to Heaven by Pixies
2) I’ll Never Get Out of this World Alive by Hank Williams

And if i should die in a house fire, “I Was In The House When The House Burned Down”, by Warren Zevon. Got a whole mental list of songs to be played in different scenarios. I really should write them down.

When you do don’t take up any more of our time than necessary.

I would hope that when attending a funeral of a family member or friend those attending would have some connection with the deceased otherwise why turn up?

Get the feeling skillwill is not too old and possibly hasn’t had one of those poignant, moving moments at a loved one’s funeral as yet. Or might just be a miserable fecker 🙂

Not figured the actual track yet, but about a minute after the curtains close I plan to record myself over it tapping on wood and saying “Let me out”….c’mon its not funny anymore…….Its getting hot now…..

This addressed at the audience:

And this about me, for the anarchy inside my head:

Nothing like going out with some irreverence for it all. Can’t abide by all the sad stuff, life’s a big fat joke.

Beautiful song and sentiment

THANK YOU FOR THE DAYS BY THE KINKS

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE BY TALKING HEADS

Not a song I realise but this on a projector in the background would be mine.

Fine Young Cannibals

I’m Not the Man I Used to Be

( chorus if not exact title )
