Journey's End from Grave New World By Strawbs

Cold is Being by Renaissance

and quite seriously, the song I AM using at my funeral, Running to the Light by Runrig from their brilliant Stamping Ground album (which none of you will have heard of, I suspect, because they're not a prog band). However, I hope not for a while yet!!!!

Watermelon in Easter Hay - Frank Zappa (I read somewhere that they played this at Franks funeral. If it's good enough for Frank, it's good enough for me.)

Maggot Brain - Funkadelic (Before recording Eddie Hazel was asked to play as if his mother had just died. Breathtaking results.)

Lucky Man by ELP for obvious reasons, plus I plan to die in battle (a pike finds my heart after penetrating my hauberk durning a cavalry charge on the enemy's right flank. Fortunately for me, it's a quick death. Yes, I know I'm wierd ).   

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

Man-Erg by Van Der Graff Generator. Why? Because we all have as Peter Hammill's lyrics say "Killer's, Angels, Refugees, Dictators, Saviors, etc. etc. in all of us. The human is basically all big ego with out of control emotions, and of little importance to the universe in its short time of existence. Real positive, huh?

The 9th part of "Wish You Were Here" by PINK FLOYD -- at least it will sound truly tragic. The downside is that, if played separately, without the first eight parts, it does not sound so magnificent. I don't think they will play all nine parts!

If by the time I am ready to kick the bucket I acquire a better sense of humour, I'll order "Who dunnit?" by GENESIS  At least it is short.

Yeah, but what song would you want others to hear? (1)

And yes, dead people can hear; the spirit of music carries even into the eternities.... (2)

(1)- I don't give a damn: I'll be dead by then...
(2)- The eterni-what?
