I decided when I was younger that I wanted street spirit by radiohead played at my funeral, but now I think I'd have something by RDJ.
At my nan's funeral they played a very good version (not the w. orbit remix) of Barber's adagio for strings as her coffin went down. It was a sad piece, but with an healthy dos of optimism and new life in it. I'm still not sure what, but I'd like something like that, it's sad and everything, but reminds people that life goes on and that they should remember happy times with me, not mope. That's why I chose street spirit, the end line "Immerse your soul in love".
I can't think of any RDJ tracks like that, the sad ones seem to be sad, and the happy ones are happy. I think the nearest is the RDJ album version of Girl/Boy Song. It has sad strings underneath it, but the beats are so uplifting.
Did you hear about that japanese conceptual artist that had her RDJ collection buried wuth her when she died because she found the music so touching?
What else would other people hav eplayed at their funeral?

Oh by the way borix, do you have a terminal illness? Are you planning it for that reason or are you just morbid?

No worries. I don't have any illness and yes I am a bit morbid. Death is just one of those things I like to think about. Not in a depressed way but just as a fact in life (in my opinion the only real fact in life, rest is just relative to everything else but in the end you know you die).
Btw. I think it is 'normal' to play about 3 songs on a funaral. I thought about it (long time ago just for fun) and chose Street Spirit (fucking beautifull song) and Soldiers things - Tom Waits. But things have changed when I started listening more to AT. These songs will only be importained when/if I get an illness. If I die suddenly -> who cares what gets played, I will be dead.

I did consider recording a CD of songs with me talking about my life inbetween in case of sudden death, but I thought it would upset my family too much.

I'm suprised more people haven't replied to this topic, it's a good idea. My girlfrien want's "The circle" acoustic version by Ocean Colour Scene. I think I should add a clause to our wishes that if we die at the same time (car crash, suicide pact etc.) That the songs should be played over each other. That would be cool.

What about Kesson Dalef ??? -
I think I would play my own music / get it played at my funeral. Like un released stuff - deeply personal music, that hopefully in a way mirrors my personality - and so doesn't necessarily have to be sad (invariably will be to some degree), but more like a memory of me ???
