RE: At your funeral what PF song do youw ant played
hm I never though of that. Well the truth is, (to me at least) music is about emotion. Different styles can produce different emotions and we like them selectively as we appreciate our emotions. Playing a song that pertains to a situation is much more powerful because of the emotions in produces. Playing a sad song at a funeral would be very powerful thus accomplishing its purpose. I think it wouldn't ruin the song but would just make it that much more powerful. Sometimes I listen to music that even gets me sad but its powerful so I enjoy the emotion.


(thats assuming its a sad song playing, if the song was truly meant to be happy and it makes you sad, I guess you could say it ruins the song in that situation)

I'd rather play a happy uplifting song than a sad one at my funeral.

...our minds shot together.

Maybe a mix would be good. Sad throughout but ends happy. If the song is happy or sad, it will be emotional none-the-less

haha ya Wish you were is a literal thing and would work great. The last line:
"How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here."
Would be especially good for a wife/husband or close family member

Yes, the wake. I'm Irish, and feeling a bit ignorant at the moment. Didn't realize (and never thought to ask) if wakes are strickly an Irish affair. How about....reception. For the reception that follows, Jugland Blues, most definately. I'm not retarded, but, coincidently...I do have a short term memory disorder that tecnically could be labled as "brain damage". Cheers, my friend!
