Very good choices, especially Perfect Day. If you died of an overdoes you could play that scene from Trainspotting too.

I've given it a lot of thought and decided to go with "Hyperdrive" by Devin Townsend. I think the song reflects very well with my ideas of what life after death is. I was originally going to go with "Nobody's Here" by Devin, but thought it may not be appropriate, I mean people feel bad enough at a funeral, and as malevolent as I can be at times, I don't think that's the appropriate place to make people feel worse.

Do you watch House by any chance?

I'd say The Eternal by Joy Division would be appropriate for such an occasion.

Old and Wise - Alan Parsons Project or Out in The Cold - Judas Priest.

pretty much a summary of family treatment with the second

No I don't, but I know that Teardrop is it's theme song or something? I remember hearing it for the first time in a ****tail bar sitting by a fire having a fantastic deep and meaningful with someone I was with. Very key song for me.

Yeah, part of the song is played as the theme song in House. I loved it when I heard it and went to look for it. When I found it and heard it, I was surprised by the singing in the song. I can say that after hearing it in House so many times, I wasn't expecting that kind of singing. It's now one of my favorite songs, GREAT choice.


By the way, House is an awesome show. If you're ever looking for something funny and exciting to watch, I highly recommend it!

Funeral For a Friend by Elton John, for sure. That guy knows how to express words with music like no other!

I've seen some episodes, but I kind of don't really care to watch it, I have bad taste in television shows but good taste in movies. Like if I'm watching TV I'd much rather be watching corro or gossip girl you know to let my brain die quietly at the end of a hard day.

Heh, I suppose it depends on which episode you saw. The first 3 seasons are top notch required viewing for anyone, the last 3 less so. If you're looking for the show at it's finest, I recommend season 2, it's great.

Though I suppose it just may not be your kind of show

Well I might just rent the second season then from the video store and see whether it floats my boat. Cheers love.
