I've given instructions to play some authentic heavy Jamaican sound system stuff with the emphasis on playing it LOUD!
Something like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxHfzdLf5Ag
Very predictably in to GOSBTS by The Royal Marines. Hymn I Vow to thee my country and out to a record I made for my wifes 60th birthday of Cliff Richards Visons which is her favourite song.
Spent ages thinking about my funeral and it's music, then I started getting fed up with all the adverts telling me to take out insurances to cover the cost of my funeral so I've decided not to have one. Direct cremation is the way I'm going and the money it would have cost me for a funeral will be saved for my family to have a memorial party.
I've given this some proper thought. Ideally you need a song full of resonance for you but also one that hardly ever gets any airplay. That way the song won't be potentially ruined thereafter for mourners. This is the one for me. Reflective and yet kick ass awesome with a double crescendo to boot.
