Hopefully he has still to write the one I'll have
but ASHES to ASHES would be fun !!

Who Can I be Now? lol

Abbey

Abit depressing, especially in such a joyous Bowie week, but here goes;

I think the track that I would like played would definately be Wild is the Wind.

Please Mr Gravedigger

Superb Rupert !!

The laughing Gnome.

SI

Bowie's Wild is the Wind as they carry me in, and Nina Simone's Feeling Good as they draw the curtain. I have to leave on a positive note...

Heathen (The Rays)

without a doubt...

...My Death?

Days or even Disco King?

'Disco King'

- You promised me the ending would be clear
You'd let me know when the time was now
Don't let me know when ur opening the door
Stab me in the dark, let me disappear

Sounds like the sucessor to 'My Death' anyone?!

the successor alright....
but they'd be knackered carrying yer coffin through
Disco King...7 and a half minutes...
....there'd be a few more funerals after that.....!!

lol

I demand a State-funeral
After the 7 min Disco intro(hoho), I'll then have the 9 min Sweet Thing medley - just to leave everyone confused

My mate wants Tubular Bells played...hope I die 1st.

Yep Lodg, my thoughts exactly on Monday night, this track has Bowie classic all over it.

have you heard the Loner Mix
usually I don't enjoy re-mix stuff
but this is good.

Sod em, I wont be there (only in spirit) they shall be forced to listen to Metal Machine Music, looped!!

I've yet to hear the Loner mix guys, but will do so at the weekend

Can't wait, have heard nothing but praise from every1, and a lot of folk preferring it over the original

Perhaps I can have the lp version at my funeral, and the Loner mix playing as every1 is leaving to go home

God this is getting morbid lol


Gnite dudes & dudettes

You could always get Bowie & Garson to play live
at your funeral...a media circus for your big day...
...no room for family & friends...press & Bowienet
members only !!!!

art decade for I

Tin Machine!

Remember playing that in my car during a funeral motorcaid and I thought - 'this is damned funny!'

It should end with everyone humming to Segue - Baby Grace (A Horrid Cassette)!!

Because he was so grand in the Big Lobowski, actor John Goodman will be asked to carry the urn.

SLS
Free Paper!!

Tin Machine,yeah they've had their Funeral

Tired of my life

ehhh ..... Uncle Arthur ??

love you till tuesday

..."Quicksand"
..."...dont believe in yourself
dont decieve with belief
knowledge comes with deaths release
Aahh - aahh - aahh - aahh..."...and the coffin fades behind (blue - blue) electric blue velvet drapes....got it all planned

Thats a bit too organised for my liking Thom

......When you get to my age one has to make sure everything is in place, wills' signed & you know who/where your Bowie collection is going!.....loved "Drums & Wires" by the way...

i would like ashes to ashes too!

Its going to be 'Wild is the wind'
I had it at my wedding as well......... ironic?

well, you can also say that it's practic rather then ironic...

I've already stated this - Life on Mars. And if DB outlives me, I want it sung personally, accompanied by Mike Garson.

pUSHING IT A BIT ROCHELLE !!!

Well I keep changing my mind but I think
"God knows i'm good "would be cool
Followed by" All the madmen"

It's gotta be 'fantastic voyage'...

SweetThing/Candidate/SweetThing reprise

I can just see the coffin being carried out to that gloomy rhythm...

.

sons of the silent age

My Death

My funeral tracks would be "Yummie, Yummie, Yummie (I've got love in my tummy)" then
"Oh! Mr Hairdresser" by Vic Reeves,
but if I had to choose a Bowie one... lets see..
"Memory of a Free Frestival (Part 2)"

Smashing!

Bats has already stated what I want, Wind as the wind
and Time. Bats

space oddity - it would be an epic funeral

I wnat absolute beginners played.

ffs u gotta be kidding me mannnnnnn

Nature Boy

The pretty things are going to hell!

the Phillip Glass version of 'Sons of the Silent Age'

Depends on how long I live.

If I only make 50 - the 'Never Get Old'

If I live till 90 - 'Time'

If Im cremated - 'Ashes To Ashed'

If Im Buried - Small Plot Of Land'

Manchester Odeon 03
Men 03
NEC 03

Sorrow would be good...

.... its gotta be 'days'

sounds like a lot of interesting songs i've never heard. just about how many bowie songs are there out there i wonder?

i wouldn't mind a bowie listening party somehow. then again the closest person in my neck of the woods would probably be SLS.

michael

5;15

I've known this for ages that My death will be play on my funeral.

*Believing the strangest things loving the alien*

Wild is the wind and Word on a wing would do for me.

Gaz

Now your smile is spreading thin,
seems your trying not to lose.

Manchester 17-11-03 Glasgow 28-11-03

Official choreographer Jackie C World tour 2003/2004

Slip Away, Heathen or Always Crashing in the Same Car...

Sweet Thing(without Candidate and Sweet Thing Reprise) or My Death. I love those songs.

.:.Lady Kerra.:.
Gimme your hands!

I think Art decade going in(i always feel it's sad, but positive at the same time - might just be me lol)

and something like Memory of a free festival (part 2) while going down

Word On A Wing, Wild is the Wind, NGO, Days and Conversation Piece...

They have their orders !

Starman

Johnny Boy

Cygnet Committee....If they aint miserable before they will be by the time its finished!

CR off Regents Street

I don't understand people wanting to have My Death at their funeral. Surely it is a song about life, love and the passing of time. It's about events before your death as opposed to the aftermath...

I think its a tongue in cheek answer.
Ashes to Ashes being another obvious one.

You could always go for "Living in a Box" by Living in a box or how about "Going Underground" by the Jam?

how about Underground by David??

I want Speed of Life, Days, Word on a Wing, and ending with Weeping Wall

Just to see who faints,gets the point and/or scratches their chins or brows in befuddlement.

Hey,if you're gonna go out,go out with a bang I say...

Heh.

Would have to go through the curtains to the strain of "Heroes" (and One by U2)

I'd watch them blub from above.

"Everybody Hurts" by REM is a definate for me.
And "Bury Me Deep" by the Sisters of Mercy.

A couple of choices:

"Hey Rosalyn"
"Let's Dance"
"Too Dizzy"

If my funeral is in another planet, I want "Warszawa".
If is on Earth, "Sons of the Silent Age".

Too Dizzy

"Warzawa" as everyone is coming in, before they bring me in.

"Days" as I'm being brought in.

"My Death" as the viewing starts (BTW, I've never understood viewings. I personally have no desire to walk by a casket and look in. I personally want the dang lid closed!)

"Conversation Piece (heathen remix)" as I'm being buried. I think that would be a beautiful ending for my body.

Man this is an odd thread. I don't like like to think about people mourning over me. Use what's left of me and then get rid of the rest. I don't like people sitting around and being all depressed. I don't want people crying over me. It's just my body! My soul's in a better place...Sorry reliving other funerals I've been to.

People'd have to walk so slow...

But, as I said before a Conversation Piece will be great!!! "My hands shake, my head hurts, I'm invisible and dumb and no one will recall me..."

And I forgot about Too Dizzy, I'll have that too...

Hope there is Bowie Music in Heaven...

And my hands shake, my head hurts, my voice sticks inside my throat, I'm invisible and dumb and no one will recall me...I really like those lines!

THERE IS BOWIE MUSIC IN HEAVEN MY SON

until recently it was "Dudes" (Motts version of course) but now I quite fancy Motts "Saturday Gigs"
1: because it reminds me of my youth (the way IH goes thru the years) and 2: My coffin can disappear at the "Goodbye" bit and 3: probably the only way to get my circle to listen to Mott The Hoople!!!!!

Wish you'd called me girl, instead of son, then I would have believed you....


LOL!!!

I didn't want to tell you this...but a sex change is on the cards...My SON !!!!

I've had a change of nick already!!!

Change of sex is not on my list, so I might have to take a peak at the other side in the after-life...LOL!

Well I knew something would change..(lol)
I'm not the God I used to be...(Good title for a song there)

Word on a Wing (live) Santa Monica 1972

Word On A Wing Santa Monica 72!!!!!!, is this a rareity none of us have??

Your right of course
When did Live at Santa Monica Civic come out?
1976 or 1978?

I've got the boot LASMC from October 1972.

Does Santa Monica have Word on a Wing on it ?

YES?

Candidate: The Thin White Duke has Word on a Wing on it - Santa Monica is from 1972 (lots of Ziggy, Hunky Dory etc on it). See the other post "Roman..." with lots of bootleg info.

Would definitely have to be Time!

But it's a must in my book. I could just have it edited so that it faids in right before the "hu-mmm" starts and then plays the rest of the song.

After giving this some more thought I even considered "Needles on the Beach" and "Strangers When We Meet."

Hope they won't drop your Coffin

I'd go for "Moonage Daydream"!

LOL

"I'm a momma-poppa coming for you!"


(All I'd have to do is "hope" my rigor-mortis would make me spring up from out of 'the box ' in time with the song if my family would honor my wishes LOL. Hopefully,my funeral-parlor caretaker would be inept enough to not break my back beforehand so I could do the ultimate jack-in-the-box and really go out with a bang! And then (just for the hey of it,to be really out-there and weird as F@#!,have 'em put on "Nothing To Be Desired" after that . After all,death is the ultimate drag... Lest we forget..)

I'm a weird guy.
But I know it.
Does that make it okay?
Who knows?
Hey; I'm all for dropping your stress-bombs as you go and somehow finding a way to laugh at yourself at the tail-end of "your" tirades. You may as well.. It's all been said and sometimes you can put a new fence around the same yard and dress it up somewhat differently. Why not? It's Saturday after all LOL..



Sam

But that means you fit in perfectly around these parts.

Nature Boy

Can only be:
ROCK n ROLL SUICIDE

First I have been told ,,my Friends said they won't come because
I'll have the place Booby-Trapped,like Bats flying out of the Coffin
etc,little do they know they are right
I think I would like Tonight the Night happy song and Lets Dance bats

Something nice by
Freddy Fender I suppose.
if I parish in an
automobile accident.
Yes,... I suppose a bit of
Willie Nelson if I'm
"On the the road again"
would also be ok.
Something by the Flaming Lips
if I happen to die by fire.
Maybe a bit of Grand Funk Railroad
if I'm hit by the train.
Or a wee bit of Wilburn Brothers
if I'm from wrong side (of the tracks)

ashes to ashes as i get carried in,thursdays child during the service and crystal japan as i get carried out,but hope its not for many years yet.

My dad insisted on David Clayton Thomas's version of 'God Bless The Child' but the rabbi thought the jazz break in the middle was inappropriate and cut it off. Later a fight broke out among my aunts - good times.

Nail me to my car

Everyone Says Hi

Too obvious?

LP

Seven

Sons of the silent age...appropriate i think.

I would go for "Over The Wall We Go"

http://www.scottfullermusic.co.uk
http://www.myspace.com/scottfullermusic

It's very melodramatic, but The Next Life (Suede) has a soaring yet melancholy sound, without being too depressing.

A New Career in Town.

Memory of a Free Festival

Crystal japan , its got a lovely morose feel to it !

I actually think there's better versions: Mr. Bowie here oversings and overarranges Eden Ahbez's ethereal little song. Try Nat King Cole's...or George Winston's.

Nail me to my car

but I still like it

It's your funeral.

Nail me to my car
