RE: Your funeral songs

Hmmmm. This is a hard one. It's fun to plan my funeral, but it's so easy to overplan it. What if noone comes? I'm not exactly Mr. Social in my neck of the woods. I have an easier time thinking about soundtracks to my autobiographical movie (which could be another thread, if someone wants to have at that).

My favorite song seems to change every 3 months, and is usually not appropriate for funerals. Right now, it's:

Arcade Fire - "Hey Orpheus".

Most funereal music I like is instrumental, by drone projects like Stars of the Lid. Here's "Requiem for Dying Mothers, part II".

For something more upbeat (and with lyrics), maybe "I Am The One and Only", by Chesney Hawkes.
