Entry song, something light <br />but not too fast. <br />(Don’t want the coffin-bearers to trip, do we. <br />Cause some can’t help marchin in time with the beat.) <br />Got it, Satriani’s “Always with me always with you.” <br />Nice tempo and feel and a great bridge for the shred-heads. <br />After the initial obligatory intro/extro guff, <br />Cheer them up with some happy stuff. <br />Got it, Sasquatch by Camel. <br />I defy you not to tap your feet to the heart-beat bounce. <br />(Though the end goes on a bit.) <br />Some more ministerial mouth-wash <br />to help wash away my sins? <br />Go for the lump in the throat moment, <br />Camel’s “Ice”. The full version. <br />If it’s a crem job, I roll out to that. <br />Then the end of Genesis’s Seconds Out fades in and <br />fittingly “Los Endos” concludes with Ethel Merman. <br />There’s no Business like Show Business… <br /> <br />The curtain opens and I roll out for a last bow! <br /> <br />(Dear undertaker, can you destroy the tape I made <br />with my best Vincent Price laugh. The idea's good, <br />but the sound quality’s poor.) <br /> <br /> <br />(Note: Funeral's I have attended over the last X years, <br />have increasingly been decorated by the personal selection <br />of the deceased's supposed favourite music. Music is a very powerful <br />medium, but without prior planning the wrong selection may only <br />amplify the hurt)<br /><br />Danny Reynolds<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/009-when-was-the-last-time-you-updated-the-songs-for-your-departure/
