Ok, so we know what you’ll be wearing in your casket. We also know what your favourite song is. But, come the fateful day (not just yet), what song/music will be played just before they read out your eulogy.
For me, it will be Dave Edmunds, ‘I hear you knocking but you can’t come in’.
Yours?
Maybe “the long and winding road”, or something from John Prine, or something from Queen, or something from Stevie Ray Vaughn, or something from George Strait, or something from Santana, or maybe, something from Prince or someone formally known as Prince, or, maybe, well, you get the idea. In all fairness, I would prefer to hear the song just before the moment I pass as once I’m gone, I real doubt I’ll be hearing much of anything except maybe te whistle blow.

How the heck did that happen?
@valentina16 "Over the Rainbow/What A Wonderful World" by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.
One part sadness, one part hope, and deeply moving.
Ain't that a shame.
Broken down old rocker here who was inspired to learn the guitar by the 60's English instrumental group The Shadows with the one and only hank Marvin as lead guitar.
I'm also an ex four decade recreational fisherman, so when I first heard the "Shads" version of Rod Stewarts "Sailing" That made the "double I was looking for.
Another favorite is a little known genius Canadian song writer and singer, Richard Samuels.
These words ring so true from his song "Hold On to your dreams".
"Troubles long past are only worth it now,
If you make hope as real as it seems
Be true to yourself, you know what I mean,
No jewels have the value of your dreams"
Many moons ago I had the pleasure of meeting him and seeing him perform.Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto, if this old brain can get this right.
Caty.
Be true to yourself, you know what I mean,

Now that’s special. 💚
As it’s my post, may I have another real go? For “I hear you knocking” was really in jest, for fun, to cheer you up. I might actually choose, sentimental old sausage that I am, “The Parting Glass”. See Liam Clancy”s version on YouTube.
As some of you have picked up, I’m not a bad guitarist and singer-songwriter if I say so myself. My longstanding friend of 50+ years actually asked for me to sing this at his funeral, which given that he can drink a bottle of Gentleman Jack in just two nights, on top of a bottle of red wine, washed down with a large gin & tonic, might not be that far away. I will of course oblige if the loving family still wish it. How I’m going to keep the tears from falling, heaven knows. 🎶😔🎶
All Along The Watchtower by Bob Dylan.

If “Old and Wise” by Alan Parsons doesn’t move you, you might not be human. The YouTube video with lyrics and over 11 million views is a masterpiece. It makes me cry every time.
Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (Ralph Vaughan Williams 1910) -- or at least an exceprt from it as it is quite long -- with a video of an animation of the Voyager missions.
We came from the stars, we will go back to the stars.
Ave Maria by Franz Schubert.
Or maybe "El muerto se fue de rumba" by Rafael Blanco Suazo. It means something like the death person went out partying.
I just hope they don't sing "Thank you very much" to me like at Scrooge's funeral.
