Rush, Death, and Rush

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......!

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 by Narpski

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.

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.

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. :)

if i committed suicide:

 

The sleep is still in my eyes

The dream is still in my head

I heave a sigh and sadly smile

And lie a while in bed

I wish that it might come to pass

Not fade like all my dreams...

 

Just think of what my life might be

In a world like I have seen!

I don't think I can carry on

Carry on this cold and empty life

 

My spirits are low in the depths of despair

My lifeblood...

...Spills over...

I am going to have Stayin' Alive by Bee Gees.

 

Funerals for happy people should be a party. I want colour and disco lights.
