>uncle died from leukaemia

>everyone's very upset
>master of ceremonies (or whatever the secular equivalent of priest is called) announces that they will now play a piece of music that meant an awful lot to my uncle and hoped it would help us have a quite moment of self reflection.

I still don't know what to make of this experience
What single song would you have played at your funeral /mu/?
poor pup
>>63399732
my uncle wasn't the pup. he was a human being.
I thought the pup pic would lighten up the subject matter a bit

>my uncle wasn't the pup. he was a human being.
you sure?
prince - lets go crazy
>>63399662
"Denn alles Fleisch, es ist wie Gras"
>>63399803
yeah.
Sorry to hear that OP. That's actually kind of a badass choice on your uncle's part - amazing anti-establishment 80s pop anthem that's not sad or mournful in the slightest.
I've thought about what I want played at my own, but I can't decide if it should be something sad and emotional that will make people cry or something uplifting and happy
>>63399662
that's a good song.
>>63399847
If I go the sad and mournful route, it's most likely going to be Jimmy Cliff - Many Rivers to Cross

sorry its a video game
something by henryck gorecki or arvo part.
one of those classical music pieces that they use in documentaries about the holocaust. I really want people to start wailing and utterly fall apart.
>>63399847
i mean the song always felt kinda sad to me - def not a banger. its weirdly sad as well, not traditionally sad.
i like the idea of having a dance song at my funeral i posted this:>>63399834
but i also might like something uplifting and beautiful, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRQG5TV7Pm0
>wanting a funeral and not a wake
Julius Eastman - Evil Nigger
I know the only person who would attend would get it.
>>63399662
they BLASTED ac/dc at my grandpa's funeral - dude was an asshole and i dislike that band but that's a golden move, good on him

hmm ok
i thought you were just a dick lol
i feel like playing sad music at my funeral would be dumb because it would be presuming anyone would be sad
