30-day song challenge – Day Twenty-Four!

A song you want played at your funeral.

As soon as I saw this one on the list I started debating.

Satisfied Mind – the Jeff Buckley version that was recorded on my 13th birthday comes to mind.

Also in the depressing category:

She opened her shows during the Miseducation tour with this. My mother found my t-shirt from that show just yesterday in a box of my old band shirts in the attic. Does anyone want to make me a quilt made entirely of Smashing Pumpkins shirts?

But I’m not sure I really want to go out like that.

I’m realizing now that the songs about me fit here as well, so the aforementioned Rilo Kiley would be great.

Or this one, this one is a very very close 2nd:

But really I knew all along that it would be this:

***
“Songs at my funeral: “Many Rivers to Cross” by Jimmy Cliff, “Angel” by Aretha Franklin, and I’ve always had this fantasy that some beautiful, tearful woman would insist on “You’re the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me” by Gladys Knight. But who would that woman be? ” Rob – High Fidelity

30-day song challenge – Day Twenty-Three!

A song you want played at your wedding. How apropos. I’m heading to a wedding in a few hours, not mine, but a wedding none the less.

This might be a thing that people think about, or that girls or other moony-eyed people are supposed to think about, but I’m not one of those. I’ve gone through stints of sappy, but that’s just not who I am at the core. I don’t have a burning desire to get married. I like being relatively contract-free. I don’t like entering things that don’t allow me to change my mind without dire consequences – which is the main reason I’m also tattoo free.

All of that aside. I have ALWAYS wanted to go to a wedding where this was on the playlist.

I do have to admit, my eyes match. Sorry, boys!

As an aside, I do want to say how happy I am for my friends who will be getting hitched today. They are a fantastic couple, so joyful, and well-matched. Congratulations you two!
