The Beatles Bible - Topic: What song do you want played at your funeral? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/what-song-do-you-want-played-at-your-funeral/ Simple:Press Version 5.2.6 Fool in a field of Strawberries on What song do you want played at your funeral? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/what-song-do-you-want-played-at-your-funeral/page-9/#p63277 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/what-song-do-you-want-played-at-your-funeral/page-9/#p63277 I'm not 100% certain about this, but I think that I would want "I'll Follow the Sun" and "Long, Long, Long" to be played. Then, and this one might sound a bit strange, "All Together Now". "All Together Now" would probably make at least one person smile (this person was the one who introduced me to that particular song).

I feel like having the vocals on the music makes it too overwhelming for the family who has to sit there for seven hours, it makes it harder to tune out.

I'm not Brazilian, I don't even really know what the lyrics mean fully; but something about the song speaks to me deeply enough to want it to be my last song.

 P.S.:  The version by Sergio Mendes, Brazil 66, is the best.

Im firmly of the opinion at the moment (and have been for a long time tho it might change when older) that once i'm dead you can throw me in the nearest pit, i trully wont be able to care.

Im signed up to be an organ donor after death so half of me wont be there anyway.

Maybe Across the Universe too.

 

For the rest.. I had a whole list of songs that make me cry but I've lost it. I can only remember Imagine (how predictable) and Annie's song by John Denver (that was played at my grandpa's funeral and it always makes me cry)

If I am shot, The Guns of Brixton. If I drown, London Calling. If I die any other way, Let It Be and Just Like Starting Over.

If that ever happens to me, I want these 2 songs to be played at my funeral. But knowing my sisters they would say no. They always want to spoil my plans...a-hard-days-night-paul-10
