at your funeral

[RickFly]

what U2 songs would you want them to play at your funeral? kind of a sad subject but after reading the story about greg carrol in another thread the subject has stayed on my mind.

here are mine:

Kite
One
Walk On

 

[bono-vox]

I tend not to think of those things- I just want random songs to be played maybe WOWY and a live version of One..that is all

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'd have to go with elevation or boom cha boom cha...discoteque

I want everyone to party their butts off when I leave.

 

[FallingStar]

I don't know.......nobody will play my wish song anyway, because everybody around me hates U2 and wouldn't do my that favour.....but I think either Kite......or......Tomorrow, maybe --> Open up to the love of he who made the light to see you........yes, I think these would be mine.......

Cool. I'd love that too, but they have to play Walk One and Kite before OR after the funeral.

 

[A Maaaaaaan]

I tend not to think of those things [...]

Me too!

But here are mine:

Kite
One
Walk On
Stuck ("It`s just a moment, this time will pass" / I like the quite
optimistic ending of this song)

 

[dsmith2904]

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
"Where the Streets Have No Name"
"Walk On" (Hallelujah version)

 

[bono-vox]

Me too!

But here are mine:

Kite
One
Walk On
Stuck ("It`s just a moment, this time will pass" / I like the quite

LOL gotta laugh...u dont tink aboot it but then have ur list

Oh id love Discotheque or elevation to be played or have the POPMART vid played

 

[NicaMom]

October

 

[adamswildhoney]

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
"Where the Streets Have No Name"
"Walk On" (Hallelujah version)

same here but I would want the ISHFWIL to be the R&H version not the album version. I dont really like talking or thinking about this stuff either.

You did the same thing.
I think that we will become friends at the end of the day.

 

[GypsyHeartgirl]

What about which one will be played at THEIR funerals?

 

[FallingStar]

What about which one will be played at THEIR funerals?

I don't know, but this is pretty morbid.......
But I think some of their personal songs and not those official ones.....

RickFly...thank you...I was hoping someome would start this topic here. I participated in one before and it has been worrying me. I was thinking if I die suddenly my hub may come trawling through here looking for clues .So let it be known..................
I DO NOT...DO NOT!!!! want Michael Jackson played at my funeral, I must have been in a mood when I said that last time. Heal the World INDEED!!!Father forgive me, I know not what I do...sometimes

Best to let the girls choose , they know what I like. You will just have to have the wake go for a week to get through all my favourites. Actually no....just have the boys play their guitars , a mum song please

 

[samralf]

Kite
Walk on
A Sort of Homecoming

 

[kariatari]

I want somebody I know to sing "One Tree Hill" for me.

 

[RavenStar]

I'd like They Fly to be played.
Don't cry because it's over smile because it happened.
I'd rather have them celebrate my life than mourn my death.

 

[ouizy]

I single bagpipe and One Tree Hill

 

[Mr_LeMon]

MOOOOOFOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Zoocifer]

3 songs in this order:

"the first time"
"in a little while"
and last, but not least -
"if God will send his angels"

- The Zoocifer -

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

even better than the real thing.

on the bagpipes.

 

[J-Tree]

If it had to be U2 (and there will be at least one), I'd say: Stuck or Kite. But I'd also like "I Will Remember You" by Sarah Mclachlan played.

 

[dizzy]

A Sort of Homecoming

Hmm...good idea.

 

[pop_mofo]

Just beacuse I have a rather twisted sense of humour...

Wake Up Dead man (Really just for the title)

 

[meegannie]

me too.

A Sort of Homecoming and Kite

But I hope whoever's in charge of music accidentally plays "Big Girls are Best" for a few seconds, just because that would be funny.

 

[Scarletwine]

I definitely want a wake not a funeral. Lots of red wine! So my choices would be:
One
October
and to party to - Discotheque

 

[gherman]

My funeral

I would just want someone to play "The End" from the doors at it. Then I would have eveyone spit on my coffin.

 

[Salome]

A Sort of Homecoming

 

[L_Brown]

Is it sad that I've actually made a list of songs played at my funeral (which really isn't an accurate term, I want a celebration really)?

The U2 ones are:
*40
*A Sort of Homecoming
*Streets
*ISHFWILF
*October
*Drowning Man
*Grace


There'll hopefully be more upbeat ones during the night. This should be an opportunity for a great party in my opinion.

 

[rafmed]

From the first time I listened to this song, it came to my mind that its the last song I want to hear.

Stay ( Faraway, So Close)
