Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
Eddi Reader - Hello In There
This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren
The Cure - Plainsong
I don't mean Spirit In The Sky ironically, because of the lyrics. It's just my favourite song. Then again I've always been a bit preoccupied with death.
Probably why Hallowe'en is one of my favourite times of year.

As we know, Paul McCartney has originally given his instructions for his own funeral in a song, the beautiful "The End of the End" (2007).

Break on through to the otherside by the doors (I don't care if that's exactly what it is called).
Songs I remember at my Dad's funeral:
Danny Boy (Cello Duet)
We had these lyrics from Paul Simon's Quiet (editing the middle 8 ) written because he's burried at the bottom of the Wasatch Mountains next to sage (a smell he loved his whole life).
I am heading for a time of quiet
When my restlessness is past
And I can lie down on my blanket
And release my fists at last
I am heading for a time of solitude
Of peace without illusions
When the perfect circle
Marries all beginnings and conclusions
I am heading for a place of quiet
Where the sage and sweet grass grow
By a lake of sacred water
From the mountain's melted snow
I personally like the last 2 songs on this album:
American IV: The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash
"Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin.
"Six dance-hall maidens to bear up my pall.
"Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin.
"Roses to deaden the clods as they fall."
"Then beat the drum slowly, play the Fife lowly.
"Play the dead march as you carry me along.
"Take me to the green valley, lay the sod o'er me,
"I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong."
"Then go write a letter to my grey-haired mother,
"An' tell her the cowboy that she loved has gone.
"But please not one word of the man who had killed me.
"Don't mention his name and his name will pass on."
I more or less am the opposite of this cowboy stuff - but it still seems sincere and beautiful when Mr. Cash sings it.
I don't know if other Christian traditions play "God be with us till we meet again", but that's been a thing throughout my life. |
Nice. May he rest in peace.
I like as well Prefab Sprout version of "Streets of Laredo". In his own super-soft way, dear Paddy is sincere and soulful too.
