Nick Drake's "Road"

And the easy choice

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I don't want my funeral to be a somber occasion, so probably some Samla Mammas Manna.

I would want them to be songs people all knew so probably not my favourite (Can't see everyone hanging around for 'Suppers Ready' but he ho!).
So maybe :
A Whiter Shade of Pale - Cos that's the colour I would have turned.
'Fire' (Arthur Brown) - You're gonna burn -burn -burn (No need for explanation)
Hocus Pocus (Focus) - Everyone should leave to this with a smile on their face!

Although I'll be physically present at my funeral, I'd rather leave it to the ones who attend it. If they want no prog at all, so be it...

VDGG - Refugees Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
It'll take a while before I'll die though, so I might change the songs I want to be played. But for now these are the ones, and probably a third one which I don't know yet.

The Long And Winding Road by The Beatles is going to follow me when I am carried out of the church after the service. This wish is allready expressed in my last will. I am not dying, so this will happen in around 40 years time.

This is not supposed to be a depressive topic 
Lately, I've been obsessed with the song Time Flies from the new PT album, and I've decided that that is the song I'd want played at my funeral!
How about you guys?
