Songs to play at my funeral [to be updated]
Thursday, 18 June 2015 | 0 letters
Hiiiii. As the title suggests, I'm going to be blogging about something happy today! It sounds a bit morbid, but hey, good music is never bad.

Honestly, this music is dedicated to the people who matter to me. Not sure what they'll be feeling at my funeral. But I wouldn't want to pass up my very last opportunity to convey my last words. It's going to be a long post that was done over quite a number of days (added a few songs each time). It took such a long time because I really like many songs.

To set things straight, I don't want my funeral to be utterly sad. I think there're always things that we can celebrate, even in the darkest moments. What I want is to remain as a happy memory and for the occasion to be at least positive in some ways. A celebration of life.



First and foremost, hoshi wo katta hi. It may be one of the only apt songs that I want hahaa, because it's a sad song. Most of the happy parts of the song is tinged with some pensiveness. It is so beautiful that it hurts. I... it's.. listen to it, please.



 

It sounds pretty and serene. Probably the only song that will fit the presumably somber mood at my funeral. Hahahaha. The song contains warm reassurances. So... this is awkward. All I wish for my loved ones is that nothing will extinguish the light (kindness, happiness, peace of mind, lightness, love) inside them. Bad times shall not reduce you.






Coughs. This one is quite heart-wrenching. And also, really raw. I've started appreciating the 2.5 min instrumental before the vocals kick in. the.. instrumental.. seems even more beautiful than the vocals, yeah. To be fair, the vocals confers some value on the instrumental. The song is a dedication to my immediate family.



If I start continue posting classical music, I think I won't ever finish coughs.


Let's just pretend I'll off on some sort of magical adventure. The song feels quite sad and magical. I just.. sigh.. my heart. God, I want to be an elf that lives on trees and befriends all those little spirits.

I feel like playing a lot of unrelated songs at my funeral, actually. UHHHMMM this song disturbs me a little, so maybe not.




For those who're really struggling. It's a meaningful song. Plus it doesn't hurt that fireflies are magically beautiful too.




It describes strength, freedom and the wind against your face when you're on an adventure. THIS song is also kind of appropriate since it does make a few references to death, including its title.





I think this whole list is getting too much for me. :-( My heart is going to burst. I love how the light tune and vocals starkly contrasts with the heavy lyrics. Okay, I'm going to stop justifying my song choices from now onwards, because I don't really care if the song is very apt for the occasion. Another beautiful song.





Hehehe got to know about this song from a good friend. It's a nice song.









Lightness and promises of new, good beginnings.





Know that you're not alone.





"A voice from the past, joining yours and mine."




How could I not include this?





And my favourite singer.




There's an underlying sadness, although the song is seemingly cheery.
