What prog song would you want at your funeral?

 

Easy ... there is only one ... "Apocaliptyc Bore" full blast and let them wince when the guitar and violin take off!

 

And the lyrics are pretty with it too ... and BF ... I'm ok with either sky bikes or sky bites .... both fit beautifully either way ... but sky bites is so much more with it in this song, because unless this is a reference to Star Wars, I doubt that the "sky bikes" would make sense ...

 

So yeah ... we took all our fun ... and now it's over ... and the last like in the song? ... ... and now ... it's ok! ... (and take me away Kris and John ... I'm ready!)

 

The only piece I would consider is the last 3 minutes of the film Blade Runner ... and Roy's last words ... "all the things I have seen, all the places I have been ... all tears ... in the rain ... ", and the music just makes you cry, and you realize that this is not just a film ... this is really well written stuff, beautifully filmed and loved ...

 

I come from a literary family ... and one of my father's one act plays was ... you guessed it ... a surrealistic view at a funeral, and of course, my mom always thought it was mean and all that ... but way up there Bunuel and my dad are having a drink and laughing ... at the woman that sneezes on someone else's skirt, on the kid playing with an airplane under the coffin stand, on the many women that have nothing better to do than shed tears ... because one of the daughter's is leaving home ... and on and on ... and I forgot the doggie ... he took a pee on someone's leg!

 

In many ways, when I went to his funeral, it was sad, pathetic, and above all ... too many cynical jerks and professors that were there becuase it was the big thing ... but I am most proud of a few very big name dignitaries that came across the world ... to pay their respects to a kindred soul ... that part was nice and has been a driving force for me ever since ... there are a few of us that understand and know ... the "work" ...

Let's start out with "Glow" by Blackfield, as the people are entering the synagogue (im not jewish I just like that word)
And for the eulogy, instead of people talking, it will be the entire Stupid Dream album...
during the reception, original 8-bit songs from various mega man games will play.

Upon departure when everyone is leaving, I will force the playing of "Paper Boats" by Nada Surf. A fitting end to a night of emotional termoil. :)

Yeah cause eating vegetarian "meatballs" would be so bad for you...

...also see Food in the U.K

Well the second link doesn't work because the word F***** is in the url, but the word is a homonym and means many things to many people... it's sad that people automatically jump to the worst conclusion.
