Horizon-Tangerine Dream

Posted

actually in real life at my funeral i want "on eagle's wings" to be one of the songs to play.

i went to catholic school and heard that song alot and i knew even then that i wanted that song to play when i died. i was like only 7 or 8 when i thought that too. how morbid.

i think it is terribly religious even though i am not.

and then also the poem "do not stand at my grave and weep"

and probably "imagine" by john lennon for a few different reasons.

i have answered this one before and i can't remember what i said? i really have no idea what the ending credits could be to my life.

i guess i will just go with "imagine" by john lennon.

Mine would be These are the days of our lives by Queen

Sometimes I get to feelin' I was back in the old days - long ago

When we were kids when we were young Things seemed so perfect

The days were endless we were crazy we were young

The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun

Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know

The rest of my life's been just a show

Those were the days of our lives

The bad things in life were so few

Those days are all gone now but one thing is true

When I look and I find I still love you

You can't turn back the clock you can't turn back the tide

Ain't that a shame?

I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride when life was just a game

No use in sitting and thinkin' on what you did

When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids

Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know

Id better sit back and go with the flow

Cuz these are the days of our lives

They've flown in the swiftness of time

These days are all gone now but some things remain

When I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives- yeah

The bad things in life were so few

Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true

When I look and I find I still love you

I still love you

I want this song played at my funeral.

Yes, Queen could cover my parting shot with,"Another One Bites The Dust."

well, one would be...

It's gotta be Shangrila by that god of rock

Billy Idol!!!

I'm bathing in warm liquid colour

Feel every cell in my body is music

Floating in hyperspacial sound

Visualizing the landscapes of my mind

I'm opening the door to inner space

I'm feeling the vibrasound

We can live forever

We can live forever

Strike that gong

We can live forever

Our love can live forever

In shangrila

Transform with inner guidance

To a place of peace and paradise

(Oh what a feeling)

Relax let your thoughts drift away

(Oh what a feeling)

Live in belief and harmony

(Chance of freedom)

We can live forever

We can live forever

Stike that gong

We can live forever

Our love can live forever

In shangrila om

In shangrila om

Access your new state of mind

Dedication discipline

Searching the sensory science

Has resulted in shangrila

We can live forever

(Forever & ever & ever)

We can live forever

Our love could live forever

In shangrila

We can live forever

(Forever & ever & ever)

We can live forever

Strike that gong

We can live forever

In shangrila om

A piece of a dream

The color of green

The color of healing

In shangrila

Color of love

In shangrila

I feel the sacred healing chants

I feel the moment

Of my death

I feel the higher learning

I feel the realization of forgiveness

Compassion and loving kindness

Om

I think for now I'll go with the Godspeed You Black Emperor! track Storm.

I think Siouxsie and the Banshees: Partys Fall (yes, it's spelled that way)

Your parties fall around you

Another night beckons to you

Your parties fall around you

Another night beckons to you

Shadows loom as you resist the gloom

Faded hues issue forth and bloom

A bed of leaves for a lover

Awake with a kiss and rise asunder

And when the party's over

You retreat in a realm of slumber

In your mind, crystal lights rebound

Wheels spin round and you hear the sound

Of autumn's call at party's fall

Through rose-tinted glass you still remember

The gladness, not sadness, only laughter

In your mind vicious lights rebound

Wheels spin round and you hear the sound

Of autumn's call at party's fall

The smile in the mirror grows weaker

The laughter you heard is growing fainter

Your parties fall around you

The night forgets to rouse you

Your party's fall astounds you

An aura of sadness abounds you

Glad rags sigh

Maybe you're alone inside, don't hide

Hurting all the time, hurting deep inside, don't cry

My happiness depends on knowing this friend is never alone

On your own

A party on our own

We'll have a party all our own inside

No sighs

The same that was played at my grandfather's funeral and will be played at my father's.

Jimmy Buffett - Lovely Cruise

Drink it up, this one's for you

It's been a lovely cruise

I'm sorry it's ending, oh it's sad, but it's true

Honey, it's been a lovely cruise

These moments we're left with

May you always remember

These moments are shared by few

There's wind in our hair and there's water in our shoes

Honey, it's been a lovely cruise

Ohhh, these moments we're left with

May you always remember

These moments are shared by few

And those harbor lights, lord, they're coming into view

We'll bid our farewells much too soon

So drink it up, this one's for you

Honey, it's been a lovely cruise

Yeah baby, it's been a lovely cruise

Oh darlin', it's been a lovely cruise

"On Eagles Wings" makes me cry every time I hear it. It was played at my grandfathers funeral. I think it's a beautiful song. I too went to a Catholic school and have actually become Catholic in the past year. I know.. crazy, huh? A true practicing Catholic on the DGN and going to CC. I don't think it really matters though. Anyway.. good choice.

As far as what song I would choose.. it would have to be one performed by Elvis Presley. I am a huge Elvis freak - in fact my site (http://www.neptunebaby.com) will soon be changed to a wonderful Elvis theme - and I have managed to accumulate thousands of dollars worth of Elvis collectables, memorabilia, etc.. I'm slightly obsessed.

So, perhaps this would be the song.... listen

And now the end is near

So I face the final curtain

My friend, I’ll say it clear

I’ll state my case of which I’m certain

I’ve lived a life that’s full

I’ve traveled each and every byway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

Regrets, I’ve had a few

But then again, too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exception

I planned each charted course

Each careful step along the byway

Oh, and more, much more than this

I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you know

When I bit off more than I could chew

But through it all when there was doubt

I ate it up and spit it out

I faced it all and I stood tall

And did it my way

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried

I’ve had my fails, my share of losing

And now as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say, not in a shy way

Oh, no, no not me

I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got

If not himself, then he has not

To say the words he truly feels

And not the words he would reveal

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way

that's a good one ^

Wow...this is a toughie...I really can't think of anything at all...

except for The Misfits - Where Eagles Dare, which is totally inappropriate

for me that's easy, I want my friends to go to lab, get drunk off Jack and coke for me since I would no longer be able to and have them play my favorites from the club ending with apops love never dies, like we did for Chuck. I want happy memories, but I need bagpipes played at the end, anything but danny boy, I want them to play what my friends request. What do I really care as long as I end in a party, the way it should be. I've had alot of time to think about this, and it's all written out already, as morbid as that may seem to some, it's what I want.

Posted

yeah its one of my faverite songs by my faverite band of all time i think it would be the perfect song to be played at my funral

Ramones- Pet Semetary

Either:

Bach Cello Suite #1 G major (My absolute favorite cello piece of all time)

or

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

Well I heard there was a secret chord

that David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Well it goes like this :

The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

She tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Baby I've been here before

I´ve seen this room, I've walked this floor,

I used to live alone before I knew you

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show it to me do ya

And remember when I moved in you

The holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above

And all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew ya

And it's not a cry you can hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
