bassace Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I attended a fellow muso's funeral recently - he was a very good pianist - and a pianist friend of his played Days of Wine and Roses as a solo piece. It was very moving and it'll do very well for me too. Certainly no tacky recorded stuff - ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottle Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Bit morbid, this thread? Still, if I had the choice it would be Led Zep - Stairway to Heaven all eight minutes of it please just played on an acoustic guitar + recorder . Might just be a laff to have the Rolf Harris version Maybe something classical as well - my gran had Vaughan-Williams' Lark Ascending at her funeral, very sweet, mellow piece. Then to round it off, something a little bit more in the contemporary Christian genre. However, if I was looking to have the last laugh, then Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, followed by Smoke Gets In Your Eyes / Smoke on the Water (if being cremated ) HTH, Ian Edited September 27, 2011 by Bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My step dad had Freebird played at his and for years afterwards the songs meaning had changed for me so drastically that I actually felt sad every time I heard what had hitherto been a favourite "rocking out" song.

Skol303 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Difficult question this one! Off the top of my head I'd probably plump for Hi Ho Silver Lining (Jeff Beck) or Ellens Dritter Gesang/Ave Maria... depending on my mood on the day ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(She was an ex dancer, choreographer and general theatre luvvie) It still makes me sad when I hear it, but in a good way really. 'I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair...' gets me every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the sense of optimism it leaves you with at the end. One other thing. I mentioned this a while ago to my Mrs.. When I get my songs played, I want them played on [b]my[/b] hi-fi. The ones in the places where they have these ceremonies are rubbish. She rolled her eyes... but capitulated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
