Which Song(s) Would you have played at your funeral?

As good a song as it may be (which I am NOT doubting...it is an all time classic), you do realize you are walking the thin line which divides opinion and cliche, right?

I mean, come on. Let it Be? Do you know how many millions of baby boomers will have that blasting at their funeral? I say, blaze your own trail.

But maybe the song has special meaning to you. And for that, I would have to respect you.
 
there are many more songs out there than just the beatle's "Let it be," n00b.

Having said that, I pick a song by the only person to top the beatles, Elvis.

My song choices are "Take My Hand Precious Lord," and "Reach Out to Jesus." I may yet come up with a different one, but those are it for now.
 
I picked something that would set the atmosphere. I dont want impersonal lyrics from a song playing at my funeral. Thats what the eulogy given by loved ones is for.
 
Before Funeral: Sigur Ros - Nothing Song

After Funeral/party shindig: Jimmy Eat World - Polaris

I want to be buried with headphones and a cd player (considering i still have my head intact) and would want a song to be put on repeat. That song would be Coldplay - Amsterdam
