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! Wink

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) LOL

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.

I would be kind to my guests so:

Hatfield and the North: Halfway Between Heaven and Earth or
Gracious: Heaven

Not because I believe in 'heaven', but both songs have the right kind of feel to them.
I'm not sure I will play any prog, though.

can I take Fantomas' Delirium Cordia? if I'm dead then I want people to remember me for subjecting them to seventy minutes of ambient terror. I'll write in my will that everyone has to stay seated until the twenty minutes of simulated record needle skipping has finished.

from the classic prog works then perhaps it'd be VdGG's Arrow.

A Peter Hammill poem (disguised as a song, with accompaniment by a band) maybe Peter? Wink

I don't care if it's shallow or pretentious, because music is very important to me and it would be a celebration of my life and so a relavent piece of music that represents me, would work.

well, i thought about KC's Epitaph myself, but then i stumbled upon some other songs that were probably not going to show up very soon here:

Anathema - Are You There: it's actually in no way a song about death, more like a romantic ballad, but the feeling and the new interpretation of the lyrics [which, ironically, would fit just perfect] make it a candidate

Liquid Scarlet - Just Like You: again, nothing macabre here, just a song that goes well with a funeral

The Doors - A Feast Of Friends - i prefer this rendition of the Adagio because the voice makes it more dramatic and i've always thought of it as a funeral song

Ulver [it just had to be here] - Blinded By Blood/Not Saved: one of these is what i would actually like to have performed if it were my choice

Although it's not prog, Dead on Time by Queen. Just because it ends with a thunderstorm noise, and Freddie yelling "You're dead!"
Achilles' Last Stand by Led Zeppelin would be nice aswell, kind of fits the mood.

On the prog side, maybe the whole Epilog album by Änglagård, or Le Monde à l'Envers by Nemo.

'The Spirit Carries On' and 'Finally Free' by Dream Theater Tongue

Or maybe some Opeth or King Crimson to make everyone feel weird.

I'd probably have some Floyd... either "Comfortably Numb", or "The Gnome" to give 'em a laugh (and paint a fairly accurate portrait of my life).
 
Or perhaps "A Lotus on Irish Streams" by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, just 'cause I like it.

I'd like It's a Game by String Driven Thing at the begining, Fire by Arthur Brown, as i slip through the curtains. Fire Brigade by the Move (not prog, but a bit imagination folks), in case i'm not deid (pronounced deed). Then as everyone walks out and congratulates each other on not shouting during the service, that i'm an obnoxiious pr1ck, who nobody liked, I'm Alive by ELO.

I would have my deathbed adorned of a hospital's lonely hospitality, slowly decaying towards the state of inexistence, while trespassing consciousness' limbo, attending to my own eulogy by the words of The Tangent's In Darkest Dreams (In Dark Dreams' section), Genesis' Carpet Crawlers (not related to death, but soothing, containing an appropriate chorus - "We've got to get in to get out..."), Dream Theater's Disappear, Porcupine Tree's Sleep Of No Dreaming and The Rest Will Flow; the funeral compilation of epitaphs would have DT's Eve and Hell's Kitchen, along with LTE's Hourglass to finalize the dwindling remnants of sentient awareness until the motion fades and light blends into blackness, at last.

Smile Okay then, I'll play nice -- imagining I actually am going to subject all and sundry to something from my prog collection (that rules out Sparks: "Up Here in Heaven," unfortunately Wink), then perhaps the instrumental "Spectral Mornings" by Hackett.
 
You get references to both endings (ghosts) and beginnings (mornings) in the title, and the music has a fittingly melancholy, nostalgic mood (and a sweeping grandeur in keeping with what will have been a life of truly "epic" qualities, no doubtWink).
 
Hackett's majestic guitar sound on this one is the very epitome of "progressive rock," for me. One of my all-time fave prog tracks. Cool
 
I find it sad and uplifting at the same time. (But mainly the latter.)
 
Turn it up so I'll hear it, okay? Cry
 
 
PS: Not prog, but may I please have the final movement of Handel's Water Music (English Concert - Trevor Pinnock) too? I'd like it after the Hackett -- it will cheer everybody up a bit, & it's also the grand, joyous conclusion to one of my all-time fave pieces of music.
 
Final farewell/"internment" to be at dawn high atop a cliff overlooking the seas of my beautiful, rugged island home, please. Tots of Demerara all around (to be imbibed the moment the sun rises out of the waters). Perhaps a line or two of poetry now -- Byron or Shakespeare would be fine. 
 
Make sure the wind is blowing out to sea when you release the ashes, Tony, and Jim, a black feather boa would be acceptable.Wink
 
 
Go have a few pints now -- it's noon somewhere!

As for the original question... well, let me think... yes, I think I'd like to shock the participants by having "Smoke on the Water" played at my funeral, possibly the version from "Made in Japan" - and absolutely NO DT covers!Tongue

LOL

Then as everyone walks out and congratulates each other on not shouting during the service, that i'm an obnoxiious pr1ck, who nobody liked, I'm Alive by ELO.



Alive by Pearl Jam would be even more appropriate!
