Flying Sparks Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I just read an article about an 18-year old girl shot by the police because the officers felt "threatened" by her whielding a knife. It's a quite controversal, strange case and a very, very sad story which you can read here: http://www.hbindependent.com/articles/2006/09/07/publicsafety/hbi-shooting07.txt However, the article features this paragraph: MacDonald's mother Lisa Marie Guy bent down to kiss her one last time before taking her seat. It was half-way through the service while listening to Coldplay's song "Yellow" that Guy broke down, shaking her head several times. I know that it's a sad thing to think about, but what do you think about having a Coldplay song at YOUR funeral? Some songs suit perfectly for remembering a person, both giving you a good and an incredibly sad feeling. What song would YOU like - which song represents your life best, with which song would you like your family and friends to say Goodbye? If that's a stupid thread/thought, then I apologise.. But I thought of that a couple of times before, because one of my last wishes, in this state of mind, would be having a Coldplay song at the ceremony..

mery_italy Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 oh, well i think that would be a good idea to have your favourite song at your funeral, and if it is a coldplay's that would be better... - i don't think a marylin manson song could be appropriated for a funeral.. goodbye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I've always thought of that...I'd like a Coldplay song to be played at my funeral. Some ideas I had were The Scientist, Amsterdam, and Fix You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Sparks Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 My 3 songs: * One Coldplay song - I can't choose one and it doesn't really matter because I'm in love with so many of their songs and each of them means a lot to me! * Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (it's the most emotional song I know and it just HAS TO be played at my funeral) * Beatles - Here comes the sun (my favourite song ever, no matter which version - may it be Beatles, Oasis, Coldplay, whatever.. I just NEED this song!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron369 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 A Ghost...definately. It's absolutely excellent for funeral. "They're calling you Some kind of ghost But I know that's not true Cause time and time again I spoke And I have spoke with you They're saying I Am some kind of ghost But that's so hard to say Maybe I'll go Maybe you're safe No there's no way to say... And I would love you To come over And I would love you Too" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hey Petra! Did you listen to the clip I sent you? I can't make another clip right now, because the guitar sounds weird and I don't know how to tune it! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 oooh and 'Til Kingdom Come!' I almost forgot about this song... I just remembered because I am listening to it now! But this song would be such a great choice also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
