Song (or music) you want played at your funeral.


This is a variation on the "Favorite song" (or Classical composition) choice, as this title should in some way be related to mortality. Can you tell I'm approaching the end of mine? For me the choice is obvious; imo one of the three greatest songs I've ever heard (the other two being "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" and "No Time To Cry"): "God Only Knows", music by Brian Wilson, lyrics by Tony Asher, recorded by The Beach Boys in 1965. Light years above what anyone else in Pop music (or even Classical and Jazz) was doing at the time (or has done since), including The gd Beatles.

@bdp24 ,

Check this one out my brother...

The late, great Jason Molina "Being In Love" 
Hey buddy, I went through that several years ago during a depression period. I would have been afraid to post it then based on what others might think. I'm afraid most of my choices at the time would have been much darker. Tunes like Vic Chesnutt "Square Room" & "Betty Lonely", maybe The Cowboy Junkies version of each. REM's "The One I love" has always popped up. 

In a better place now. I think I've throw the list away? There were MANY more on it.
