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.

It’s called a “wake” because it originated as a vigil to make sure the person was really dead and didn’t “wake” up.

As I hope mine to be a Christian funeral  the  best possible thing ever written
is Bach's Cantata  # 106, the title of which translated to English is , "Gods
Time is the Best .  "

Somehow , for me at least , I think that's better than a pagan party .
