Just a curious question to find out what music you want played at your funeral. For me it has to be the following songs
1. My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion.
2. Always On My Mind - Elvis Presley.
3. Learning To Fly - Tom Petty.
4. Imagine - John Lennon.
What songs will you be having?
Matthew.

I want the congregation to sing, i know hymns are tradition but I just don't feel those, I would prefer the following showtunes:

I think I'd want Risk by Paul Brandt, hands down my favourite song ever, it's really been an important song in my life and I think the message is so important. I just hope people would listen to it and just not dwell on my death but remember my life and what I got out of it. There's a lot to the story of the songs impact in my life too and I think it's fitting it plays at my funeral if for nobody but me.
Also Temporary Home by Carrie Underwood. Mainly for the end where she sings about an old man in a hospital bed, just because the message is so powerful and so true, at least for me.
And if I die young... then If I Die Young by The Band Perry.
Song for Athene by John Tavener

Always - Panic! At the Disco
I Write Sins Not Tragedies - Panic! At the Disco
Girls/Girls/Boys - Panic! At the Disco
This Is Gospel - Panic! At the Disco.
If i faked my death this would be song for sure
Just kidding!
Nah but I don't know, I've never really thought about it. If there was some terrible disaster and I died young I would probably want my mum and brother to sing. Matthew would no doubt sing and play a Green Day song (maybe Good Riddance?), I don't think I have a choice in the matter despite it being my funeral whereas I would want my mum to sing something from one of my favourite films like Anastasia or Mulan or Prince of Egypt.
For the rest of it just songs I love, like maybe Leliana's Song or the like. Not stuff relating to funerals but sweet, simple songs that are happier and beautiful to cut through the sombre event.
woohoo im not the only one who would want a song from a game . Seriously though if you guys havn't listened to Fear Not This Night ( with lyrics ) you should look it up its a wonderful song
I'd never heard of that song before so I just looked it up and wow, that song is beautiful! Darn it, I was trying to avoid adding more songs to my list of 'Songs I really want to learn but could never sing ever' but that is an amazing song!
THAT.
