Top Five Songs I Want Played At My Funeral

Thanks a lot, Macoosh. This one’s hard, I’ve never really thought about it before. But, I guess I’ll give it a shot.

In no particular order:

1. Flying Home (Brenda’s Song) by Chantal Kreviazuk: “But if you’ve seen the love that’s in her eyes, then everything is good, and if you know the way she felt inside, she’s flying where she should. I never believed we’d ever live to see an angel being born and flying home.” I cry every time I hear this song.

2. Don’t Dream It’s Over by Crowded House. Looks like I’m going for a theme of the whole “don’t cry for me because I’m not gone, but in a better place and still with all of you in your hearts.”

3. The Hymn of Ordinary Motion by Douglas, Barenburg & Meyer. It’s a guitar instrumental, and it’s just beautiful. Look it up on iTunes. It’s got the feel of things just moving on and on, and sounds a bit hopeful.

4. Going Home by Sophie Zelmani. Another song that sounds more hopeful than sad. And there’s some truth in it – I would be going home, because if I’ve died then God has called me home.

5. Too Soon by Eastmountainsouth. It’s always too soon when someone leaves this earth, even if they live to be 100.

Ok, that wasn’t as hard as I thought once I cruised through my iTunes library. Now, who to tag with this one? Courtney, AJ, Gouda, Penny and um, let’s see – Megan, because she has a habit of titling her posts after songs.
