5 TUNES TO BE REMEMBERED BY

[hippie37]

This is a spin off from the Musical Influences Thread. I think it was Satori who got me thinking about this one and I couldn't have just one tune played at my funeral. The last funeral I went to, apart from family that is, was to a friend of mine who hung himself after battling with depression for years. During the service at certain intervals music was played that he loved and people would remember him by and I can remember The Clash and Bob Marley as a few of the choices played that day. This doesn't have to be as morbid as it sounds, Death comes to us all at some point, that we can all agree upon.

So what would be the 5 tunes you would like played at your own funeral that you would like people to remember YOU by. In no particular order here are mine.

The Waterboys - "The Glastonbury Song"

The Jam - "A Town Called Malice"

The Bee Gees - "How Deep is your Love"

Ozric Tentacles - "Dissolution" (The clouds disperse)

The Cocteau Twins - "Fifty Fifty Clown"

Problem is, for me music is so very important that I cannot answer these questions so easy. So, if this thread continues, look for me later, when I've had time to think. (yeh, that's a threat).

Aaaaaahmmmm.. let me see... only five???? Hell that is a short funeral. Couldn't we have a wake and do a big ole mix tape??? then would ramble on for hours, so I'll stick to the rule and do just 5. This is definitely a mood thing.. I'd pick a different five tomorrow for sure, but here we go:-

1- Was I drunk, was he handsome and did my Ma give me hell - (cracker of an old jazz fave, forgit who - have to look it up)
2 - Wait till you see him - Verve Remixed (ummm track/vol?)
3 - How many worlds - Brian Eno
4 - And then so clear - Brian Eno
5 - True Tears of Joy - Hunters & Collectors
