My Funeral Soundtrack

I pondered on how I would like my personal funeral to be. So I assembled some appropriate funeral music for myself. A black mass with black candles burning on a pink-shaped stage with the naked emotions of these songs singing over it all. It would be appropriate for The Beach Boys’ harmonies sound like church music. Many of these songs are codas. I expect no one to wear black outfits. I’d rather have people come in rather multi‑colorful outfits. Rainbows of balloons will be let go once I am lowered into burial. And personal reflections will be remembered. I want people to go away from my funeral and think, “That was the best damn funeral I’ve ever been to!” So here the music I wish to be played at my wake:

"The Warmth Of The Sun"

by The Beach Boys

What good is the dawn

That grows into day

The sunset at night

Or living this way

For I have the warmth of the sun

(Warmth of the sun)

Within me at night

(Within me at night)

The love of my life

She left me one day

I cried when she said

"I don't feel the same way"

Still I have the warmth of the sun

(Warmth of the sun)

Within me tonight

(Within me tonight)

I'll dreams of her arms

And though they're not real

Just like she's still there

The way that I feel

My love's like the warmth of the sun

(Warmth of the sun)

It won't ever die

(It won't ever die)

"Don't Worry Baby"

by The Beach Boys

Well its been building up inside of me

For oh I don't know how long

I don't know why

But I keep thinking

Something's bound to go wrong

But she looks in my eyes

And makes me realize

And she says "Don't worry baby"

Don't worry baby

Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby

I guess I should've kept my mouth shut

When I started to brag about my car

But I can't back down now

I pushed the other guys too far

She makes me come alive

And makes me wanna drive

When she says "Don't worry baby"

Don't worry baby

Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby

She told me Baby, when you race today

Just take along my love with you

And if you know how much I loved you

Baby nothing could go wrong with you"

Oh what she does to me

When she makes love to me

And she says "Don't worry baby"

Don't worry baby

Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby

"In My Room"

by The Beach Boys

There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to

In my room, in my room

In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears

In my room, in my room

Do my dreaming and my scheming

Lie awake and pray

Do my crying and my sighing

Laugh at yesterday

Now it's dark and I'm alone

But I won't be afraid

In my room, in my room

"Wonderful"

by The Beach Boys

She belongs there left with her liberty

Never known as a non-believer

She laughs and stays in the won-won-won- wonderful

She knew how together the forest went

God reached softly and moved her body

One golden locket

Quite young and loving her mother and father

Farther down the path was a mystery

Through the recess the chalk and numbers

A boy bumped into her won-won-won- wonderful

All fall down and lost in the mystery

Lost it all to a non-believer

And all that's left is a girl

Who's loved by her mother and father

She'll return in love with her liberty

Just away from the non-believer

She'll sigh and thank God for won-won-won- wonderful

"'Til I Die"

by The Beach Boys

I'm a cork on the ocean

Floating over the raging sea

How deep is the ocean?

I lost my way

Hey hey hey

I'm a rock in a landslide

Rolling over the mountainside

How deep is the valley?

It kills my soul

Hey hey hey

I'm a leaf on a windy day

Pretty soon I'll be blown away

How long will the wind blow?

Ohhhh

Until I die

These things I'll be until I die

"Surf's Up"

by The Beach Boys

The diamond necklace played the pawn

Hand in hand some drummed along

To a handsome man and baton

A blind class aristocracy

Back through the opera glass you see

The pit and the pendulum drawn

Columnated ruins domino

Hung velvet overtaken me

Dim chandelier awaken me

To a song dissolved in the dawn

The music hall a costly bow

The music all is lost for now

To a muted trumperter swan

Columnated ruins domino

Canvass the town and brush the backdrop

Are you sleeping, Brother John?

Dove nested towers the hour was

Strike the street quicksilver moon

Carriage across the fog

Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune

The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne

The glass was raised, the fired rose

The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting

While at port adieu or die

A choke of grief heart hardened I

Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry

Surf's Up

Aboard a tidal wave

Come about hard and join

The young and often spring you gave

I heard the word

Wonderful thing

A children's song

“About a Girl”

by Nirvana

I need an easy friend

I do, with an ear to lend

I do, think you fit this shoe

I do, but you have a clue

I'll take advantage while

You hang me out to dry

But I can't see you every night (for) free

I'm standing in your line

I do, hope you have the time

I do, pick a number to

I do, keep a date with you

“Come As You Are”

by Nirvana

Come as you are, as you were

As I want you to be

As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy

Take your time, hurry up

The choice is your, don't be late

Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach

As I want you to be

As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

And I swear that I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun

“Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam”

by Nirvana

Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam

Sunbeams are not made like me

Don't expect me to cry

For all the reasons you had to die

Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die for thee

“The Man Who Sold The World”

by Nirvana

We passed upon the stairs, we spoke of was and when

Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend

Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes

I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me

I never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home

I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here

We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows, not me

We never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world

“Pennyroyal Tea”

by Nirvana

I'm on my time with everyone

I have very bad posture

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

Distill the life that's inside of me

Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea

I'm anemic royalty

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld

So I can sigh enternally

I'm so tired I can't sleep

I'm a liar and a thief

Sit and drink pennyroyal Tea

I'm anemic royalty

I'm on warm milk and laxatives

Cherry-flavored antacids

“On A Plain”

by Nirvana

I'll start this off without any words

I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled

I love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The finest day that I've ever had

Was when I learned to cry on command

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

My mother died every night

It's safe to say, don't quote me on that

The black sheep got blackmailed again

Forgot to put on the zip code

Somewhere I have heard this before

In a dream my memory has stored

As a defense I'm neutered and spayed

What the hell am I trying to say

It is now time to make it unclear

To write off lines that don't make sense

One more special message to go

And then I'm done then I can go home

“Something In The Way ”

by Nirvana

Underneath the bridge

The tarp has sprung a leak

And the animals I've trapped

Have all become my pets

And I'm living off of grass

And the drippings from the ceiling

But it's okay to eat fish

Cause they haven't any feelings

Something in the way

“Oh Me”

by Nirvana

If I had to lose a mile

If I had to touch feelings

I would lose my soul

The way I do

I don't have to think

I only have to do it

The results are always perfect

And that's old news

Would you like to hear my voice

sweetened with emotion

Invented at your birth

I can't see the end of me

My whole expanse I cannot see

I formulate infinity

And store it deep inside of me

“All Apologies”

by Nirvana

What else should I be

All apologies

What else should I say

Everyone is gay

What else could I write

I don't have the right

What else should I be

All apologies

In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

I'm married

buried

I wish I was like you

Easily amused

Find my nest of salt

Everything is my fault

I'll take all the blame

Aqua seafoam shame

Sunburn with freezerburn

Choking on the ashes of her enemy

All in all is all we are

“Where Did You Sleep Last Night”

by Nirvana

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don't ever shine

I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go

I'm going where the cold wind blows

Her husband, was a hard working man

Just about a mile from here

His head was found in a driving wheel

But his body never was found

“Mother”

by John Lennon

Mother, you had me, but I never had you

I wanted you, you didn't want me

So I, I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Father, you left me, but I never left you

I needed you, you didn't need me

So I, I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Children, don't do what I have done

I couldn't walk and I tried to run

So I, I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Mama don't go

Daddy come home

(repeat 9 more times)

“Hold On”

by John Lennon

Hold on John, John hold on

It's gonna be alright

You gonna win the fight

Hold on Yoko, Yoko hold on

It's gonna be alright

You gonna make the flight

When you're by yourself

And there's no-one else

You just have yourself

And you tell yourself

Just to hold on

Cookie!

Hold on world, world hold on

It's gonna be alright

You gonna see the light

When you're one

Really one

Well, you get things done

Like they've never been done

So hold on

“God”

by John Lennon

God is a concept

By which we measure

Our pain

I'll say it again

God is a concept

By which we measure

Our pain

I don't believe in magic

I don't believe in I-ching

I don't believe in Bible

I don't believe in tarot

I don't believe in Hitler

I don't believe in Jesus

I don't believe in Kennedy

I don't believe in Buddha

I don't believe in Mantra

I don't believe in Gita

I don't believe in Yoga

I don't believe in kings

I don't believe in Elvis

I don't believe in Zimmerman

I don't believe in Beatles

I just believe in me

Yoko and me

And that's reality

The dream is over

What can I say?

The dream is over

Yesterday

I was the Dreamweaver

But now I'm reborn

I was the Walrus

But now I'm John

And so dear friends

You'll just have to carry on

The dream is over

“My Mummy's Dead”

by John Lennon

My mummy's dead

I can't get it through my head

Though it's been so many years

My mummy's dead

I can't explain

So much pain

I could never show it

My mummy's dead

“Dead Flowers”

by The Rolling Stones

Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair

Talking to some rich folk that you know

Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company

Cause you know I could never be alone

Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding And

I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink cadillac

Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day

Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon

And another girl to take my pain away

Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can Send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the US mail

Say it with dead flowers in my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave

“Hallelujah”

By Jeff Buckley

i heard there was a secret chord

that david played and it pleased the lord

but you don't really care for music, do you

well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth

the minor fall and the major lift

the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah...

well your faith was strong but you needed proof

you saw her bathing on the roof

her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

she tied you to her kitchen chair

she broke your throne and she cut your hair

and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...

baby i've been here before

i've seen this room and i've walked this floor

i used to live alone before i knew you

i've seen your flag on the marble arch

but love is not a victory march

it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

well there was a time when you let me know

what's really going on below

but now you never show that to me do you

but remember when i moved in you

and the holy dove was moving too

and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there's a god above

but all i've ever learned from love

was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

it's not a cry that you hear at night

it's not somebody who's seen the light

it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

“Bridge Over Troubled Water”
by Simon and Garfunkel

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
When you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

“Midnight Cowboy”

“EXPECTING TO FLY”

by BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD

There you stood on the edge of your feather,

expecting to fly.

While I laughed, I wondered whether

I could wave goodbye,

Knowin' that you'd gone.

By the summer it was healing,

we had said goodbye.

All the years we'd spent with feeling

ended with a cry,

Babe, ended with a cry,

Babe, ended with a cry.

I tried so hard to stand

as I stumbled and fell to the ground.

So hard to laugh as I fumbled

and reached for the love I found,

Knowin' it was gone.

If I never lived without you,

now you know I'd die.

If I never said I loved you,

now you know I'd try,

Babe, now you know I'd try.

Babe, now you know I'd try,

Babe.

“On the Way Home” (live) by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young

When the dream came

I held my breath

with my eyes closed

I went insane,

Like a smoke ring day

When the wind blows

Now I won't be back

till later on

If I do come back at all

But you know me,

and I miss you now.

In a strange game

I saw myself as you knew me

When the change came,

And you had a

Chance to see through me

Though the other side

is just the same

You can tell

my dream is real

Because I love you,

can you see me now.

Though we rush ahead

to save our time

We are only what we feel

And I love you,

can you feel it now.

“Cowgirl in the Sand” (live) by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young

Hello cowgirl in the sand

Is this place at your command

Can I stay here for a while

Can I see your sweet sweet smile

Old enough now to change your name

When so many love you is it the same?

It’s the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.

Hello ruby in the dust

Has your band begun to rust

After all the sin we’ve had

I was hopin’ that we turn back

Old enough now to change your name

When so many love you is it the same

It’s the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.

Hello woman of my dreams

This is not the way it seems

Purple words on a grey background

To be a woman and to be turned down

Old enough now to change your name

When so many love you is it the same

It’s the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.

“Don't Let It Bring You Down”

by Neil Young

Old man lying by the side of the road

With the lorries rolling by,

Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load

And the building scrape the sky,

Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn

And the morning paper flies,

Dead man lying by the side of the road

With the daylight in his eyes,

Don't let it bring you down - it's only castles burning,

Find someone who's turning and you will come around.

Blind man running through the light of the night

With an answer in his hand,

Come on down to the river of sight

And you can really understand,

Red lights flashing through the window in the rain,

Can you hear the sirens moan?

White cane lying in a gutter in the lane,

If you're walking home alone,

Don't let it bring you down - it's only castles burning,

Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.

“The Loner/ Cinnamon Girl/ Down By the River” (live) by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young

He's a perfect stranger,Like a cross of himself and a fox.He's a feeling

arrangerAnd a changer of the ways he talks.He's the unforeseen dangerThe keeper

of the key to the locks.Know when you see him,Nothing can free him.Step aside,

open wide,It's the loner.

If you see him in the subway,He'll be down at the end of the car.Watching you

moveUntil he knows he knows who you are.When you get off at your station

alone,He'll know that you are.Know when you see him,Nothing can free him.Step

aside, open wide,It's the loner.

There was a woman he knewAbout a year or so ago.She had something that he

neededAnd he pleaded with her not to go.On the day that she left,He died, but

it did not show.Know when you see him,Nothing can free him.Step aside, open

wide,It's the loner.

I wanna live

with a cinnamon girl

I could be happy

the rest of my life

With a cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures

I run in the night

You see us together,

chasing the moonlight,

My cinnamon girl.

Ten silver saxes,

a bass with a bow

The drummer relaxes

and waits between shows

For his cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures

I run in the night

You see us together,

chasing the moonlight,

My cinnamon girl.

Pa sent me money now

I'm gonna make it somehow

I need another chance

You see your baby loves to dance

Yeah...yeah...yeah.

Be on my side,

I'll be on your side,

baby

There is no reason

for you to hide

It's so hard for me

staying here all alone

When you could be

taking me for a ride.

Yeah, she could drag me

over the rainbow,

send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river,

Dead, oh, shot her dead.

You take my hand,

I'll take your hand

Together we may get away

This much madness

is too much sorrow

It's impossible

to make it today.

Yeah, she could drag me

over the rainbow,

send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river,

Dead, oh, shot her dead.

Be on my side,

I'll be on your side,

baby

There is no reason

for you to hide

It's so hard for me

staying here all alone

When you could be

taking me for a ride.

Yeah, she could drag me

over the rainbow,

send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river,

Dead, oh, shot her dead.

“My Way”

by Frank Sinatra

And now, the end is near;

And so I face the final curtain.

My friend, I'll say it clear,

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.

I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;

But more, much more than this,

I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;

But then again, too few to mention.

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;

Each careful step along the byway,

But more, much more than this,

I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew.

But through it all, when there was doubt,

I ate it up and spit it out.

I faced it all and I stood tall;

And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.

I've had my fill; my share of losing.

And now, as tears subside,

I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;

And may I say - not in a shy way,

"No, oh no not me,

I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naught.

To say the things he truly feels;

And not the words of one who kneels.

The record shows I took the blows -

And did it my way!

“Mercy Mercy Me”

by Marvin Gaye

Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord

“The Whiter Shade of Pale”

by Procol Harum

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more

The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned A Whiter Shade Of Pale

She said: "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see."
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be

One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well be closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned A Whiter Shade Of Pale

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned A Whiter Shade Of Pale

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned A Whiter Shade Of Pale

“Pale Blue Eyes”

by The Velvet Underground

Sometimes I feel so happy,

Sometimes I feel so sad.

Sometimes I feel so happy,

But mostly you just make me mad.

Baby, you just make me mad.
