R2U1S1H2 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) So my dad has always told me that he wants "In My Life"- Beatles at his funeral! So I got to thinking...! What Rush song would you want played when you die, more specifically at your funeral, or wake etc.. Also if you could choose, what Rush song would you want playing when you die, or as your dying? I think definitely Fountain of Lamneth, Vapor Trail, Nobody's Hero, The Way the Wind Blows Wish Them Well. I'm sure there is at least one song about life one every album except possibly Feedback P.S. This is dark I know but I was just thinking......! Edited January 10, 2015 by R2U1S1H2
Narps Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Easy one for me at my funeral.... In The End (the live one). I know the lyrics don't quite match up but it is my favorite and it moves me like no other recording they have ever done. I'll be dead but maybe I will know somehow. I have posted this on this forum before but the other song I want played is Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me ( E.J of course).... Edited January 10, 2015 by Narpski 1
Disk98 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 The Garden as I'm dying, and Headlong Flight at my funeral. 1
EagleMoon Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 My first thought would be Xanadu since it was the first Rush song I heard and the one that made me a fan. It would be appropriate for it to be the first and the last although technically I wouldn't be there to hear it. :) Tears seems like it would be a good funeral song. In The End would work as well.
YYZumbi Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 This is a easy choice that I decided years ago. Rivendell 1
Detonator Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I'm interested in Buddhism and especially rebirth... so I wouldn't choose a Rush song... I'd take "Here I go again" by Whitesnake.
Lorraine Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 This is a cheery topic! :) Aside from the Dies Irae, I want the orchestra intro to Days of Future Passed played. And Xanadu. And when I die, all of you here can listen to The Weapon for me on a regular basis. And keep a memorial page for me. :) :codger:
RushFlyer2112 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 "Tears" at my funeral and all Rush Coldplay Pink Floyd Genesis songs at my Wake
lifeson90 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 if i committed suicide: The sleep is still in my eyesThe dream is still in my headI heave a sigh and sadly smileAnd lie a while in bedI wish that it might come to passNot fade like all my dreams... Just think of what my life might beIn a world like I have seen!I don't think I can carry onCarry on this cold and empty life My spirits are low in the depths of despairMy lifeblood......Spills over... 3
MMCXII Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 If I'm the guy in the coffin, why am I picking the tunes..? ;)
MMCXII Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Another one bites the Dust is a nice song.. Or Staying alive by the Bee Gees, then everyone could dance..! ;) 2
Segue Myles Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I am going to have Stayin' Alive by Bee Gees. Funerals for happy people should be a party. I want colour and disco lights.
