Title: Wedding/Funeral Songs...
Post by: Newguy562 on June 23, 2012, 06:58:43 PM
If you could only pick 2 songs (1 for your wedding) and (1 for your funeral) which songs would they be? and why?

"Don't Worry Baby" would be the wedding song and the way I'm feeling right now "The Life Suite" would be the funeral song (I know that's cheating because it's actually 3 songs but hearing those three songs back to back is pretty powerful.)

Edit: You know what? Screw The Rules!


Wedding Songs:

Eric Clapton: Wonderful Tonight
Tom Petty: Like A Diamond/Here Comes My Girl
George Harrison: Beautiful Girl
Bruce Springsteen: Drive All Night

Funeral Songs:

John Mellencamp: Longest Days
Johnny Cash: Hurt
John Denver: Rhymes And Reasons
Cat Stevens: Child For A Day

At my wedding (now divorced  :)  we played  Thank you by Dido,  Moondance by Van Morrison and At Last by Etta James (very popular choice here).

At a friends brothers funeral the song was Let It Be, the Beatles,
At my Uncles funeral it was Peace Train by Cat Stevens

Wedding song would have to be Forever or God Only Knows.

Funeral song would be I Get Around. Seriously, I don't want people being all sad at my funeral so I want a joyous upbeat song that I loved to be played.

At Last for my wedding (is there a more joyous love song?) and What A Wonderful World for my funeral (so everyone knows the beauty of life) would suit me fine.
