Have I asked this already? What are the top five songs you want played at your funeral?

well, actually I think you asked in laura's guestbook but not here. here's my list:

1) turn my head - live
2) with or without you - u2
3) street spirit - radiohead
4) wild horses - the sundays
5) just like heaven - the cure

I'll prolly change my mind tomorrow though..haha. except for the first song since that one is really memorable. ah.

'kay, i'll stay within the pop arena for this question. :) 1)"Mayonaise" - Smashing Pumpkins 2)"Dead man walking" - David Bowie [no pun intended. it IS a rockin' tune] 3)"True Faith" - New Order 4)the "up down turn around, please don't let me hit the ground" song.. em.. "Temptation" by New Order 5) "I can't be with you" - the cranberries [actually anything from that album]

...and to rip off Sam's wonderful idea, what's your ~60minutes of Death-Bed music? This is a little bit different since you would be there to hear it. How would you fill your final hour?

aah..I just realised how depressing this topic is..haha. and now suicide music?!?

well, okay, here's what I would listen to:
turn my head - live [umm yeah, I would like to hear it if I was about to commit suicide since it means alot to me and teri's friendship]
a letter to elise - the cure
charlotte sometimes- the cure
rocket - smashing pumpkins
hey jupiter - tori amos

alrighty then. not that I am ever going to commit suicide...harhar. I'm afraid of the sight of blood and I wouldn't jump out the window even when I think about it. hehe. okay, I'm done.

1) Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid. Yes I'm weird. 2) Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd. They rock my world. 3) Requiem in D Minor by Mozart. How appropriate. 4) Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin because that's where I am going 5) Amazing Grace. It makes me cry. It would make other ppl cry.
