Songs to play at your funeral.

i dunno what i want. it's not something i really think about. i dunno if i want to be some beautiful old ballad. or if i want it to be something up beat. on one had a dirge is fitting for a funeral, and something upbeat seems out of place. but a funeral dirge will just make people sadder.

when i think about it. i think that's probably best to just pick a song that fits who you are really good. that will leave a positive image for those leaving your funeral.
 
It's my life- Bon Jovi.

I want my eulagy to be about how I didn't waste my life with mediocrity and I don't want others to either.
 
I'd be satisfied with Counting Crows music in general, specifically their first album.

Lately I'm 'Black and Blue'

Spoiler :
Fading everything to black and blue
You look a lot like you'd
Shatter in the blink of an eye.
You keep sailing right on through.

Every time you say you're learning
You just look a lot like me:
Pale under the blistering sky.
White and red, black and blue.

You've been waiting a long time,
You've been waiting a long time...
To fall down on your knees
Cut your hands
Cut yourself until you bleed
or fall asleep next to me.

Wait for everyone to go away
And in the dimly lit...
room where you've got nothing to hide,
Say your 'goodbye's'.

Tell yourself we'll read
a note that says
"I'm sorry everyone.
I'm tired of feeling nothing, goodbye."
Wash your face, dry your eyes.

You've been waiting a long time,
You've been waiting a long, long time...
To fall down on your knees.
Cut your hands
Cut yourself until you bleed
Or fall asleep next to me

I have a dream I'm falling down
On my face, I scrape my knees
I scrape my hands until they bleed
Cause you're fast asleep next to me.
Next to me...

I should also add that I want my grave mined (in case someone decides to do a jig on it) and I want a boom box wired so after the mines explode, Panteras ". .. .. .. .ing hostile" is played.
