Sending Off Music

[jazzpiano]

Have you ever thought about what song(s) you'd like played at your wake? I don't know if I should pick something that I really like and represents my deep attachment to music, or something that's just OK, but will send folks off with a smile on their face? I think Richard Thompson's "Dimming of the Day" is perfect for me though a little sad and wouldn't raise anyone's spirits but mine :), but not quite as crazy about something like "End of the Line" by the Traveling Willburys, though it would be a "pep up" I guess...

Best,
Barry :cool:

In my case it's "Highway to Hell" :eyebrows:

I worry sometimes, as this is a quite common AoS question! :eek:

I used to be of the "send folks off with a smile" persuasion (my favourite being "Build a Fire" by The KLF) - but that was when I was in my twenties... I guess the serious answer to the question would be Sarah McLachlan - Angel - if there is a dry eye left in the house then I got a massive fail! ;)

I've decided that I've got plenty of time to think about that yet, only being 71 & 2/3rds so I'm not in any hurry to make a decision :lol: . When I saw my pension statement when I retired I realised that the only way to get my money's worth out of it was to live for ever, so that's what I'm determined to do - wish me luck ;) .
