What if you could choose a song at your funeral?
Of course it would be more for the living than for the deceased, but if you had to choose a song playing and engaging those attending there, what would it be and why? On the one end, I'm thinking a depressing song such as 'Dust in the Wind' just so I can remind everyone of their mortality , but on the other end I would want to go in a phantasmagorical way so I might as well choose something along the lines of ''Because I'm happy, clap along if you feel like a room without a roof !!''

The first song that pops in my head, "I was here" by Beyonce, it's a nice ballad, that evokes emotion. This song just seems like a classic funeral song.
Then something solemn, "Shadow Man" by Noname, it's a rhythmic rap song, I listen to this song pretty often, and it's on theme with a funeral.
A feel good rhythmic rap song that might make you dance a little, "Swim" by Towkio. This song to me is saying, "do what you want to do, but be ready to work for it". This will be me in my casket telling my funeral goers to live their best life on their own terms. Like, "you're still alive, don't waste it."
The next song on my funeral playlist is, "Don't be so hard on yourself" by Jess Glynne. Me in my casket saying, "hey if you and I had a disagreement before I left, I still may not agree with you, but I'm gone now, so it doesn't matter."
Last but not least, "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes. It's just a great song. In my opinion, this song is about surviving through life, even though you may be struggling with yourself, and you just don't understand what's going on, whether it be with yourself or with the world.
Okay, this is the last one for sure. Good Ass Intro by Chance the Rapper, this would have to be the last song played. "I'm good, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me anymore."
This is my Funeral Playlist for now. There are a few more songs I would like to add, but this is more than enough. I guess my funeral will end up being a listening party, which I am completely fine with.
I also made a playlist with the songs on Soundcloud, but I couldn't post it with this post, I guess because it's Soundcloud.

“Blinded eyes will finally see,
The fed will rise on the shores of eternity,
The trump will sound and the angels will sing hallelujah hallelujah!
I am going home....”
Best song ever

Actually no, I haven't. I've thought about the happenings of the event, of how I would like it to go. I thought your question was so cool, because I've never thought of it. And yeah listen to them, hopefully you'll like one or two, or maybe all of them. I try my best to stay positive. I don't consider the thought of my funeral completely grim, once I'm gone I won't have to deal with the trials and sadness of this world anymore, by then I will be at peace. And thank you, for asking this questionEevia White wrote: ↑17 Mar 2018, 12:25 Wow, you've thought about this before? I'm so amazed by your list, you have included every possible message and style available, this is so admirable! I am certainly going to check every song... I'm sure they are all amazing. Your post exudes positive vibes even though it is a grim subject... thank you

"Am but a stranger here" by Arthur. S. Sullivan, 1836. I will also choose We'll meet again by Vera Lynn.
One thing about this two songs is that they are songs of comfort that why i chose them.
