The other day I was talking to my best friend. I said "Give me a mix tape theme." He said "Songs to play at my wake."
So here it is.
Songs that I will play at my best friend's wake.
It's kind of ironic, because while it may not seem like sad, depressing music, it would probably be really nice to have a wake.
And they're all songs he loves, I guess. But I love 'em too.
I've been thinking about it a lot.
And for my wake & funeral, I'm going to have everyone gathered in a room, wearing only white clothes, listening to 3 songs. And then its over.
Anyways. Here it is, for my friend who has no idea about this, until I tell him & then he's going to be like "Jeez, bitch." Haha, not really.
Hey, ever noticed that if you re-arrange the letters in "funeral" it spells "real fun"?
Hmmm.
Well. 52 minutes. I'd probably just sit there & stare at the wall, anyway.

It's just one of those songs that is just plainly a good song. The lyrics, the raw sound, the guitar work is thought provoking, the vocal style is gutwrenching.

yeah. definitely the songs reflect our friendships rather than our actual FUNERALS. it's more of a "if you died tomorrow..." kind of thing.

I like Playground Love, but I wouldn't play that at a wake unless it had some deep meaning between the two of you. That song sounds too sexy like.
I don't know about American Football either or NMH...
I think any Sigur Ros song would be great at a wake. Oh well, it's your friendship hah.

I always consider songs to be played at my funeral. The problem is that they always change and I never write them down, so if I die unexpectedly, I'm probably going to be stuck with a PowerPoint slideshow of my life set to Chariots of Fire or some shit like that.

That Mazzy Star song makes me really sad for undisclosed reasons that are the same as The Drugs Dont Work
