What Prince song would U like played at u're funeral???

Kinda creepy to think but hey...gonna happen sooner or later!!!!!

I think I'd like the following played in order....

-"Venus de Milo"-just love this piece

-"The Cross" (or "The Christ" if I ever get a copy)Though I'm not a very religious person..this song brings out what faith I have in me....then I walk back into this world....

-"Paisley Park"-for those who r in need of inner peace

-"Sometimes It Snows In April"-always made me cry!

-"There's Others Here With Us"-To scare the people there that I hate!!! LOL

-"Housequake"-I KNOW my family would oppose but I told my friendz that if I die b4 them...they better as hell have a party for me...I dont want nobody cryin!!!! And this song better kick off that celebration of my life!!!!!

what a dumb question. Prince's mama or daday didn't play any Prince songs at thier goodbye ceremony. How dumb! Now that's OBSESSED!
Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater?

No instead they played hideous Whitney Houston as Mattie's funeral...I hope she WANTED it played cuz if that was me...I'd get up and slap somebody with the last of my nerve reflexes!

And NO I AM NOT OBSESSED but this man's music has been a part of just about most of my 26 years...My family plays music at funerals....it would only be fitting for mine:)

2 each their own!

"STILL WOULD STAND ALL TIME"

It's not a thousand years away
It's not that far my brother
When man will fight injustice
Instead of one another
It's not that far
If we all say yes and only try
Then Heaven on earth we will find
It's A Real Mother For Ya

When I read this question, the FIRST song that popped into my head was "I'll die in your arms . . .Under The Cherry Moon"
But I don't know if I would want that one. I want something beautiful, but not too sad. Something inspirational. . .no words. . .maybe Venus DeMilo, or maybe. . I don't know the title of it, but the song he played on the piano at the opening credits of UCM. Does anyone have that on CD or MP3??
I would also like to note that I am pleased to see that so many people mentioned Alexa DeParis. I was under the impression that nobody KNEW it, because I never saw anyone but me mention it. That is my all time FAV, but I am going to play it at my wedding so I would NOT want it played at my funeral.
Anyway. . .just my thoughts biggrin

Still Would Stand All Time

It's just around the corner It's just around the block This love that I've been waiting 4 A love solid as rock A love that reaffirms that we are not alone A love so bright inside U, it glows And night and day would run 2gether And all things would be fine Still would stand all hate around us Still would stand all time Still would stand all time It's not a thousand years away It's not that far my brother When men will fight injustice instead of one another It's not that far if we all say yes and only try Then heaven on earth we will find (All time) (Still, still would stand all time) No one man will be ruler, therefore Love must rule us all Dishonesty, anger, fear, jealousy and greed will fall But Love can save us all (Oh Love) Love - oh Love, if U would just please give us a sign Still would stand all time Heaven (Heaven on earth) Oh! (We all want 2 find) We all wanna find it Still would stand all time We are not alone people (We're not alone) Tell me, can U see the light? (Can U see the light?) If U just open your eyes (Still would stand all time) So much U will know So much U will show Love, Love, Love. (It's not that far away if we all say yes and give it a try) Gotta give it, huh, a try - yes! (Still would stand all time) I. I say still (So many times) So many times I thought I could not make it (Still would stand all time) Life was closing in, I just knew, I just knew I couldn't take it That's when Love opened its arms And if U don't go inside Still would stand all time (Still would stand all time) U better run 2 the light Leave your past behind (All things will be fine) And still would stand all time

My parents think Prince is shit, so I wouldn't want to make my funeral any harder on them. LOL. This IS a strange topic but if I was to have anything played, it would be 'Sometimes It Snows In April.'

If I was to pick a Prince song it would have to be Goodbye, but I really want Ecclesiastes by Stevie Wonder. cry

Don't want to think about dying, much less funeral music. I wonder if Prince would make a Requiem album. That would be another concept album for him!
