 Topic: Which Prog track for your Funeral?
Posted: July 08 2006 at 09:46 |
Which Prog Rock track would you like played at your funeral when it's time for the Grim Reaper to play his part in life's journey? Would you let the congregation suffer with a 30 minute epic or would you let them off lightly with something shorter? Personally, I would love to have 'Awaken' by Yes played at mine. It's somehow quite fitting with an amazing finale and would have me in Prog heaven ecstasy looking down on all my friends and family!

Yeah, I'd give 'em Tales From Topographic Oceans - all of it - make the b***ers wish I'd never been born hahahaha ....
Or how about Come To The Sabbat by Black Widow - make 'em squirm a bit
Or, did you want me to be serious? In which case it would have to be something from Renaissance or BJH .....

Klaus Schulze - Picasso geht spazieren integrally (aprox. 160 minutes)  Seriously,I would like: - Rhythm of The Heat for the moment of death - Des pas sur la neige (Debussy) for the lament period (short though,maybe in combination with Voiles,repeating several times as well) (sorry,can't place prog here) - Phaedra,the title track,as the journey towards He,who is the only one. - Thick As A Brick=eternal bliss in Heaven. (God am I freaky today)

"Made Again" from Marillion's Brave.
The song has always struck me as a song about the afterlife. After the girl jumps off the bridge, "Made Again" (to me) is how differently she sees her world from the other side. This is my interpretation of it.

Probably one of the (many) Cannibal Corpse songs about "action" "underground".

Has any of you ever heard Gillan's (the band) song "No Laughing in Heaven"? The lyrics are something to be seen... funny as hell (pardon the pun)! I think Hugues would dig them quite a bit...

"No Laughing In Heaven" is great, that´s the song where he says "No not swimmin´women womeeennn!'
On a more serious note, I would like some Kansas song played at my funeral.

All of Catch 33 considering it is one song and it deals with the concept of death.
