Songs to Die To...

RB6K Rank : 14	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 8 19:52 - If I die in a fire I would like "Burn Baby Burn" by Ash, or Disco Inferno. Or even if I was cremated that would be sufficient. I'd like ironic songs such as Fame (I'm gonna live forever!!) and "Another one bites the dust" In fact, I would hate to think any sad songs would be played at my funeral, I demand in advanced a song mocking the way I died, or at least parodying it. I would want a joke made of it, and everyone to spend the day laughing.
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 8 20:55 - well, i spend a good amount of time obsessing over my own mortality (kinda strange considering some of my past... not relevant to this thread). like i said "Lake of Fire" was a joke, but it's interesting to think about. i mean, if you died and needed some else to convey your thoughts about life to the people you loved and who loved you back (or who loved you in spite of what your life might have amounted to), what song(s) would you really want them to hear?
RB6K Rank : 14	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 8 21:03 - I generally would want something humorous. "Always look on the bright side of life" etc, but perhaps not so cliche. In all the years between now and my death, I hope someone will release a song worthy of the feat of being my "death song" i used to have plenty of old songs I thought I would like eg "Gone Away" by the Offspring, but in hindsight they were all corny or shit choices!
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 8 21:30 - i hear that. its funny how we can look back on albums (or anything really) we liked at one point in our lives and say, "good god, what was i thinking?!?" also, calling an Offspring song "old" makes me feel old. thanks for that.
RB6K Rank : 14	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 8 21:51 - Haha, well I don't really feel the Offspring song was old shit or corny, but they are certainly becoming an old band by todays terms. They have just released a new album, but these dudes are in their 30's now, they aren't really singing about teen/20's single fun life now, or at least they shouldn't be! I would listen to Gone Away now if it wasn't 4am in the UK. But at my funeral? I definitely think "woah maybe not!"
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 8 21:58 - well, i guess that's true. it just seems strange to hear someone talk about about a band like the offspring as an old band. i mean, i'm 32!
Grand Assault Rank : 6	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 8 22:04 - The guys in The Offspring are in their mid-forties now. They peaked during the early nineties, that's almost two decades ago now!
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 8 22:18 - really, all i know of them is radio. i didnt realize they were that old. i remember them having some hits in the nineties, but like i said never a big fan.
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 8 22:27 - getting back to the thread... i think i might also add Johhny Cash's cover of "In My Life"

mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 8 23:39 - hello? do you have a favorite funeral song?
RB6K Rank : 14	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 9 5:52 - Woah 40's?! Hah their lyrics and style need a re haulage fast. Singing like that in your 40's is laughable.
Tori Rank : 307	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 9 13:58 - Cold-Crossfade It's a pretty good song..and I've been known to be 'cold hearted'. But wether I am or not is a different story.
Ina La Britainia Rank : 1186	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 9 18:58 - There coming to take me away Ha-haa~ Napoleon XIV
Tori Rank : 307	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 10 15:14 - Hmmm.... That sounds like you Ina. Also another good song would be 'If It All Ended Tomorrow' by John Cena
Voxy Moderator Rank : 10	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 11 8:28 - You want to be forever associated with the memory of a singing wrestler?! Now that's bizaare.
robelanator VIP Rank : 108	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 11 10:08 - "Song for Strayhorn" from Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker, Live at Carnegie Hall. It's one of the most achingly pretty songs I know, but it still swings. It's a perfect mix of joy and sadness, longing for what's gone but appreciating what was had.
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 11 15:00 - a singing wrestler?!? i used to watch wrestling when i was a kid; i've never heard of a singing wrestler. strange. robelanator, i listened to "song for strayhorn." very cool.
Tori Rank : 307	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 11 22:35 - Yeah, it does seem kind of weird Voxy, but, the songs very good and I'm a huge wrestling fan. I'm not one to die normaly. I want to be remember in a weird way. I guess I'm just..well, weird.
Ina La Britainia Rank : 1186	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 11 23:57 - I'd either Like There coming to take me away Ha-haa by Napoleon XIV or This is Halloween by Marilyn Manson. Something strange.

Ventruss Rank : 1840	Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago at Aug 12 13:24 - The Anthem by good charlot
Charis Rank : 282	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 14 21:01 - I'd say Keep Yourself Alive by Queen would be just perfect.
Foxninja Rank : 119	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 11:13 - I'm going to be creamated, since I cannot stand the thought of being put into the ground...(fear of being burried alive) even if I'm dead..It would just kill me up in heaven to watch my body being slowly lowered into the ground... my boyfriend, though, wants to have the song "You've got a friend in me" from "Toy Sory" to be played at his funeral.
Vincent Valentine Rank : 146	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 15:05 - Bethoven I'm gonna be buried while that's playing or maybe moonlight by mozart lol I want it to be a classical burial.
Foxninja Rank : 119	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 20:52 - DaDaDa DUM....Da Da Da DUM Ahhh, Bethoven...the deaf musical genious =P haha nice choice, Illusion. do they play music at creamations? If they do, I want "A Hero Comes Home," from the Beowulf soundtrack(A movie I have watched a total of 13 times) The ending title theme, not the one Wealthow sings in the movie.
Vincent Valentine Rank : 146	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 20:54 - They do I went to my friends cremation last year they played the wind beneath my wings.
Foxninja Rank : 119	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 20:56 - Do they do Funeral Pyres? DUDE I would not mind one bit to go out like that. When I die...Burn me on a boat =P
Vincent Valentine Rank : 146	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 20:57 - no this isn't the viking age but i'd be more than happy to burn you.joke.
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 21:38 - okay, i should have known the conversation would take a turn for the morbid. leave it to the adolescents. j/k yall.
Vincent Valentine Rank : 146	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 21:39 - Sorry anyways my other alternative is maybe something that will definately get people to cry.....hmm......any ideas?
Charis Rank : 282	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 21:52 - Hah! Hey I said something funny, not morbid :) I don't know why anyone would want to play something depressing at a funeral - I'd want to lighten the mood a little if it was mine.
Vincent Valentine Rank : 146	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 21:54 - Hm maybe don't stop me now lol "Don't stop me now I'm having such a goodtime." Or maybe Celebrate good times come on."
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 21:58 - okay, well if we're going light hearted, then i'm playin' "stayin' alive" -- BeeGees
Vincent Valentine Rank : 146	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 22:00 - Oh the irony lolmaybe have them play it everytime they go through the graveyard.
Charis Rank : 282	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 22:28 - You know, as long as we're on the Beegees, I Started a Joke would fit really well. I mean, it would be kind of depressing considering the context, but it works.
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 15 23:46 - charis, i really like that pre-disco BeeGees. My Pop listened to that stuff when i was younger. kinda grew up with it.
Charis Rank : 282	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 16 0:01 - My family has an obsession with the Beegees as a whole - in fact, most of the music that I like is because I grew up with it. That stuff never really leaves you, I think.
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 16 1:47 - i agree. The BeeGees and MASH were passed down from my parents. if i stop in to see my parents in the evening, nine time outta ten, my dad will be sitting in his chair watching an episode of MASH. He can quote almost all of the episodes. I think I've seen all of them several times. But the BeeGees, too. I really like "New York Mining Disaster 1941" I think thats the name.
Foxninja Rank : 119	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 16 13:51 - If were going for cheerful and mood lightening, how about "If Youre Happy and You Know it"
Vincent Valentine Rank : 146	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 16 14:12 - Maybe we are the champions? lol I love that song. Maybe You are a pirate.
Ventruss Rank : 1840	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 16 17:21 - my other choices would be Sand Man by metalica and Kryptonight.
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 3 months ago at Aug 16 17:36 - i think i might want to have "Midnight in a Perfect World" by DJ Shadow. the music sets the tone.
Ventruss Rank : 1840	Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago at Aug 21 17:10 - yeah righ tnow i'm looking at Revolution Deagthsquad by i think dragonforce or avvenged seven fold.
Devious Phenomenon Rank : 103	Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago at Aug 21 17:31 - A song to die to huh? That's a very interesting Idea right there... I've never thought about that... hmmm... I suppose it would either have to be something nice and slow and peaceful, or maybe something unusual and creepy (Like American Death Metal/Metal/Soft Metal music made by Japanese guys lol) Oh wait, you mean playlists for funerals, I was thinking songs RIGHT when you die... I don't really know... Maybe a few sad tunes... don't know what... but I'll think about it...
XxparaniodxX Rank : 777	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 24 13:03 - i'd like Moonlight Densetsu to be played at my funeral. On piano.
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 24 14:01 - man, i'm really glad to see people still posting on this list. actually, i cant believe its still going.
Charis Rank : 282	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 24 17:36 - I think it's common for people to think about songs that would play in situations like death or love or birth or something along those lines. At least...I do.
XxparaniodxX Rank : 777	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 24 22:37 - Yeah, that is true.
Naru Uchiha Rank : 369	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 24 22:54 - who let the dogs out

mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 26 20:57 - just kidding
Naru Uchiha Rank : 369	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 27 17:52 - ooooooo ^^
Ventruss Rank : 1840	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 27 18:31 - yeah strength of the world is good for a funarul or in a western for th ebad guys theme
Naru Uchiha Rank : 369	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 27 20:39 - im going digital
silent killer Rank : 145	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 28 19:02 - Tupac - I wonder if heaven's got a Ghetto Pantera - Cemetary Gates I would be very pleased if someone played either of those songs at my funeral.
Naru Uchiha Rank : 369	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 28 19:52 - cool
Charis Rank : 282	Posted : 2 months, 2 weeks ago at Aug 29 21:12 - I think I would cry harder if someone played Who Let The Dogs Out at a funeral.
mdklanica Rank : 642	Posted : 2 months, 2 weeks ago at Aug 29 22:41 - okay, seriously people. lets just try to imagine this. would you really want some of these songs played at your funeral. this is the last song, the last sounds anyone will ever hear from you. would you really want them to hear "who let the dogs out?" and dude, i like pantera a lot, but "cemetery gates" is a bit obvious. i'm not trying to "dog" your choices, but try thinking about the words to the songs.
silent killer Rank : 145	Posted : 2 months, 2 weeks ago at Aug 29 23:30 - I'm probably interpreting the lyrics wrong, but they sound fine to me. Besides, my ears are ringing and throbbing so hard by the end of the song I stop caring. I got a few more Big Pun - Still not a Player Big Pun - How we Roll Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven Iron Butterfly - Inna godda da vida extended version(as a joke maybe) The Eagles - Hotel California LL Cool J - Going Back to Cali (in case I die somewhere other than california)
Grand Assault Rank : 6	Posted : 2 months, 2 weeks ago at Aug 30 5:38 - I wish my family were rocking enough to let me play: Rage Against the Machine - The Ghost of Tom Joad at my funeral, but I don't want to be remembered as someone who is selfish! Seriously, a funeral is all about you, technically, but there's no way you can enjoy it. I'd definitely go for something a bit more subdued. I might force out the heartbreak by going for some Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence, just so everyone remembers how great I was through a tsunami of tears! If I could get away with it, I'd try for Radiohead - Reckoner too.
Ventruss Rank : 1840	Posted : 2 months, 2 weeks ago at Aug 30 12:17 - Yeah for what its worth or as its also known look what's going dow would be good.
