Great taste Richard.
Song (or music) you want played at your funeral.
This is a variation on the "Favorite song" (or Classical composition) choice, as this title should in some way be related to mortality. Can you tell I'm approaching the end of mine? For me the choice is obvious; imo one of the three greatest songs I've ever heard (the other two being "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" and "No Time To Cry"): "God Only Knows", music by Brian Wilson, lyrics by Tony Asher, recorded by The Beach Boys in 1965. Light years above what anyone else in Pop music (or even Classical and Jazz) was doing at the time (or has done since), including The gd Beatles.

“Cosmic Dancer” T Rex https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v5pw8BNPn6U This is has been holding steady at the #1 spot for a few years now. |
So many good possibilities, from the sublime to the ridiculous. One that stands out for me is from Olivier Messiaen's "Quartet for the End of Time." The movement is entitled "Louange a l'Eternite de Jesus." If you haven't heard it, it's worth a spin. It is the textbook definition of "hauntingly beautiful." |
