What Song Will Play at Your Wedding/Funeral/Bar Mitzvah/Etc.
It's probably pretty morbid of me to admit this, but every time I hear "I Was Meant For the Stage" by the Decemberists, all I can think of is, "Wow, what a gorgeous song; I want this playing at my funeral." Only, I'd request that it fade out before all hell breaks loose at the end.
THE DECEMBERISTS - "I WAS MEANT FOR THE STAGE"
I was meant for the stage,
I was meant for the curtain.
I was meant to tread these boards,
Of this much I am certain.
I was meant for the crowd,
I was meant for the shouting.
I was meant to raise these hands
With quiet all about me.
Oh, Oh.
Mother, please be proud.
Father, be forgiving.
Even though you told me
'Son, you'll never make a living.'
Oh, oh.
From the floorboards to the flys,
Here I was fated to reside.
And as I take my final bow,
Was there ever any doubt?
And as the spotlights fade away,
And you're escorted through the foyer,
You will resume your callow ways,
But I was meant for the stage.
The heavens at my birth
Intended me for stardom,
Rays of light shone down on me
And all my sins were pardoned.
I was meant for applause.
I was meant for derision.
Nothing short of fate itself
Has affected my decision.
Oh, oh.
And from the floorboards to the flys,
Here I was fated to reside.
And as I take my final bow,
Was there ever any doubt?
And as the spotlights fade away,
And you're escorted through the foyer,
You will resume your callow ways,
But I was meant for the stage.

i cant think of a song for me right now, but my friends funeral song, if he died today, would be 'by your side' by cocorosie. every time he hears this song he looks ready to die.
i think id want something a bit happier at my funeral. i think id like 'postcards from italy' by beirut at my funeral.
i changed my mind. i want a wagnerian opera to play at my funeral.
