what song or music do you want played at your final farewell?
this one is mine
Keep a fire burning in your eye Pay attention to the open sky You never know what will be coming down
I don't remember losing track of you You were always dancing in and out of view I must've always thought you'd be around Always keeping things real by playing the clown Now you're nowhere to be found
I don't know what happens when people die Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try It's like a song playing right in my ear That I can't sing I can't help listening
I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round Crying as they ease you down 'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing Dancing our sorrow away (Right on dancing) No matter what fate chooses to play (There's nothing you can do about it anyway)
Just do the steps that you've been shown By everyone you've ever known Until the dance becomes your very own No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
Keep a fire for the human race And let your prayers go drifting into space You never know will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near And just as easily, it could all disappear Along with whatever meaning you might have found Don't let the uncertainty turn you around (The world keeps turning around and around) Go on and make a joyful sound
Into a dancer you have grown From a seed somebody else has thrown Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own And somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go May lie a reason you were alive but you'll never know

I'm a HUGE Bon Jovi fan. Have been since I saw him walk over the hill in the She Don't Know Me video in '83.

In My Life - I like that one Although I imagine there will not be a dry eye in the house listening to that tune at a memorial service

I haven't really thought about it. I liked Virgil's eulogy for the non-believer that he posted last week.

I haven't given it much thought, but at my SIL's service this is what was playing softly in the background as people were gathering and taking their seats. I've always loved the song and thought that I might like to use it too:
ANGELS AMONG US - ALABAMA

My Way, the Sex Pistol's version. ;D
I like the idea of In My Life (a beautiful song)
But I'm not going to get too ahead of myself, I'm not even mid stream yet. I still got a whole lotta of livin to do.

Jean Luc Ponty's Infinite Pursuit....it's perfect. Sometimes chaotic, sometimes achingly beautiful, sometimes discordant, sometimes high and sometimes low. The story of my life.

I really don't care what others listen to at my funeral. Just want them to make sure I can't hear it. If so, there's a BIG problem that needs to be corrected ASAP!

If I could have a string orchestra at my funeral I would like this:
But seeing I don't plan on a funeral, they can play this when they scatter my ashes on the beach:

Thank you! ;D Nah, I won't need a bell. I think being embalmed and cremated should take care of that need. If not? Then I'm POSITIVE there is a BIGGER problem that no one can address. Vampires comes to mind?
