U2 songs at a funeral?

[theu2fly]

With my grandpa recently passing away, I was thinking about songs that I would want played at my funeral. But I want them to be U2 songs... so I decided, since they play about 3 songs before it closes, I thought of the following setlist;

1. Where the Streets Have No Name
2. Kite
3. 40

Streets is like heaven, it's a place that should not be feared. It's a glorious place, where everything is peaceful.

Kite, is an essence, a story about that person's life and letting them (the family, etc) know they don't need to worry about them...

40... well, enough said

 

[nathan1977]

In a Little While
Wake Up Dead Man (kind of obvious but still)
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Walk On
40

 

[Lila64]

I've told a few people that if I'm ever in a coma (god forbid), just put pipe in some U2 music. I'd like to think on some level I would be able to hear it. Maybe it would even bring me back

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

sad thread guys.....

I would play Yahweh for mine....

And a song called Citizen Erased by MUSE...

I hope it's in a long long time....

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Wake Up Dead Man (kind of obvious but still)

um no

 

[2861U2]

I always kind of thought Bad would be appropriate.

 

[The Sad Punk]

If you die from a heroin overdose, maybe.

 

[Galeongirl]

Perhaps seque of MLK - Streets?

 

[JCOSTER]

Kite at mine thank you.

 

[GibsonGirl]

Screw U2, I'm going out with style: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=swkT07TP-mo

 

[BVS]

Big Girls are the Best, just a little nod to the fat lady singing.

 

[Rob33]

your list looks good, maybe add Walk On, but I'd finish the set with this very beautiful piece

[elevated_u2_fan]

one step closer?

 

[zuropa_fit]

I've decided I want MLK - when I directed Romeo and Juliet last year, the show ended with Friar Lawrence singing MLK as rain fell on the stage (yeah, actual water, it kicked ass!)

 

[thelaj]

October
MLK
ISHFWILF
AIWIY
One
Kite
Walk On
One Step Closer
===================

One from those, but I would need more thought!

 

[chrissybaby]

we could have a funeral setlist party...

 

[INSTCUWSUMVC]

I would have

Beautiful Day
Crumbs (Because it is my favorite song)
Kite
SYCMIOYO (Acoustic)
Stuck in a Moment (Acoustic)
Walk On (Single Version)

 

[schnumi]

I chose Kite for my little sister's funeral, a very moving song for me.

 

[phillyfan26]

Wake Up Dead Man (kind of obvious but still)

DON'T DO THAT!

 

[Varitek]

we've had this thread before. i think i said kite, walk on, one tree hill, maybe in a little while, maybe mlk. i'm missing a few but oh well.

october's good too.

 

[Swan269]

one step closer fits perfectly

 

[pepokiss]

Discotheque



so I can Boom-Cha back from the dead...

 

[the tourist]

Bad, The Unforgettable Fire, All I Want Is You, or One Tree Hill.

 

[theFly51]

Discotheque



so I can Boom-Cha back from the dead...

 

[pgv]

I wanted one, but it's a bit too obvious a choice, so I now want u2's save darfur version of instant karma


Oh my god, Wake up dead man... no. Just no.

 

[craigp]

Gone

 

[luna_lovegood]

Beautiful Day, Kite, Luminous Times or 40.



And Wake Up Dead Man? ... I hope he was joking ...

 

[major_panic]

Gone

FINALLY someone posts Gone.

Stay would be kinda funny, too...

 

[Visiongfx]

How bout levitate? Except not many people know about that song....

'spirit come onn downn......'

Lyrics seem to fit well
