What song, brings you "home"?

[luvsemlarge]

I know there are a lot of songs and it's hard to pick just one, so go ahead and post the two that you would like to have played at your funeral.

Here are my two....

The night they drove old Dixie down-The Band.
Fortunate son-Creedence.

 

[PirateKing]

Does it have to be folksy/country/bluegrass?

 

[Ravenholm]

The lyrics are kind of fitting for such a situation. I mean in the lyrics it's like the person in question has gone from this world. And they are now in the afterlife and they are experiancing their idea of what paradise is. At least this is my take on the meaning to the lyrics.

Nope. Whatever song you like.

I can think of only one song that I want to have played @ my funeral, Arpegiateur by Jean Michel Jarre. It's the greatest piece of electronic music ever concieved.

 

[Straight Shooter]

Crystal Blue Persuasion- Tommy James & The Shondells

Crystal Blue Persuasion- Tommy James & The Shondells

Good one! I remember listening to that when I was a kid.

 

[Mayhem]

Played at our funeral? OK. Clicking on this thread, I was going to go with various 3 Dog Night/Doobie Bros./Grateful Dead songs. But, for my funeral:



If you're impatient to see why, forward to 2:00.

This is what should be played down Scottish streets instead of all that
sectarianist muck

 

[Jagger69]

Unquestionably this.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

When I was growing up my dad always had some Beatles, Zombies, Keith Green, or some Bob Dylan playing. Any of those bring me back to those days. Any of the late 90s rap music brings me back to partying at Js when we were in high school. We used to party there every weekend because his dad was away every weekend. What I wouldn't give to go back and do it all over again.

 

[Facetious]

good thready!

 

[Boothbabe]

Unquestionably this.

Also a good choice. This one is beautiful as well.

For my funeral... Only one choice really.
