'End of life' songs - is yours on the list?

If I was dying, Gabriel's Oboe by Morricone played by Hauser. At my funeral Benedictus from The Armed Man by Carl Jenkins, maybe the Morricone again, and Bob Marley, Everything's Gonna Be Alright as a finale.

A Place in the Sun by Stevie Wonder and Faith of the Heart by Russel Watson.

A fab choice Gillycats🐱, I'd forgotten about the wonderful Stevie Wonder song.

I don't want any particular accompaniment to my slipping away just as I don't need a sound track to my life.

Oh, and I was all set to come and play the recorder and sing "pease pudding hot" to you.

MissAdventure- go on then. You can follow me round the shops tootling away 😂

How funny.
Could you let me know when you feel a bit under the weather, so I can practice a bit?

MissAdventure I'd always seen you as more of a comb and paper maestro

I expect I could play the spoons, too.

Would you mind "My old man's a dustman" as your swansong?

I'd rather it was something more accurate. You might have to compose it yourself , 'My old man restores vintage cars'? Maybe on a washboard?

Ooh, my old man restores cars, he makes them spic and span.
So if anyone can do your car, I know a man who can!

A kind of skiffle style?

Imagine there’s no Heaven.
I’ve always thought that this is it and that’s OK by me.

Excellent MissAdventure! 🎶

My husband didn’t have any music playing when he died but he did pick the music for his funeral. He was part of a ukulele band and they played his favourite tune Irish Rover as his coffin came into the church and Up Up and Away as he left.

Ride the River by JJ Cale for me

I've heard a new song I really like.
It's called Into The Mystic, and I think it's by Van Morrison (who I've never listened to before)

I'll be in and out of my death bed like a fiddlers elbow at this rate.

Perhaps a small chamber orchestra in the corner MissAdventure and you could lie in your four poster surrounded by banks of flowers and sobbing family members and old retainers.

That sounds very agreeable.

That's us sorted then.
