Back to the music challenge! I need to finish this bad boy...
(that's what she said)
So, my funeral. Well, that's a morbid thought, and I hadn't actually thought of what song I wanted played at my death bed. Who thinks of these things? But, I believe I chose a good one. I don't think I have to explain my choice. Enjoy:
The Challenge so far:
day 08 - a song that you know all the words to
day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio
Not a bad choice... and yes this thought it quite morbid. Then again, if the time comes earlier than thought or hoped...friends and family always choose the right songs, too!

Hey I did this challenge. The only songs I think worth mentioning are two: one is my favorite song, "I'm only sleeping" by the Beatles. No song has ever had such a profound effect on my life and struck me so close to my core. I remember having days where I was just intoxicated on the feeling that song gave me. I think it created this little refuge in my heart of peace and beauty, and whenever I yearn for spiritual rest, I go to that song. The other song is the one I played at my funeral, also the last one I want to listen to before I die. It's called "Fisherman's Horizon" by Nobuo Uematsu. There's a piano version you can find on youtube, that's the one I mean. I think piano music is amazing and creates a stillness to the world and your perspective on everything, in a way that you can only see the beauty of things, and all the junk is gone, far away. Something about the silence is immense, magnificent. I always listen to that song when I wanna reflect on where I am, where I've been, and where I'm going. Such a great song, ah beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I like your list! You definitely have a nice color to your spirit that you put in your words.
PS. I posted my journals from my trip on my blog under the tab called "Abhayagiri"... it's long enough to be it's own book, so I can't blame you if you don't read it, but there's a lot of stuff there.
wow, thanks my friend! I shall read them :)
ReplyDeletewhew. i havent given it a thought...maybe lady marmalade...
ReplyDeleteHa ha, that's a fantastic choice!
ReplyDeleteGREAT song and performance, from Aretha's peak period. Good call!
ReplyDeleteI would go with Sinatra's "That's Life," just for the one or two people who would get the joke.
ReplyDeleteI need to get back on my list. I think I'm still on 15. This is a fantastic choice. One of my favorite songs. I posted my top 5 funeral songs a while back. "You bastard! That's so good, it should have been mine." But most likely when I get to 24, you'll see Mavis Staples.
