Down the aisle, and up the Chimney
« on: September 01, 2013, 09:02:13 PM »
It's some 12 years ago since I saw my good buddy Barty walk down the aisle with his lovely wife, and fellow NMA follower to the sound of Living in the Rose. After the signing, etc., they then left the church to , Queen of My Heart.

At funerals I have been to recently, it now seems to be a regular part of it to play a song the person liked from their younger days.

So, what song to you want to be married listening to, and which song played at your funeral??

Well, this is particularly interesting to me at the moment - we're currently planning our wedding ceremony and as we're both rabid NMA fans, there's got to be at least one song included... wouldn't be right and proper, otherwise!

At the moment, it's pretty tough to choose. Queen of my Heart is definitely on the list, it might end up being our first dance song... we're having a civil ceremony in a private venue where the reception is also held so we're not really leaving, but I'd just love to have Orange Tree Roads at the end of the ceremony, or possibly Poison Street - because they're rollicking good tunes and ALSO because of the whole leaving the past behind for something better theme - something that resonates with both me and my husband-to-be. :) We're also very keen on JS' solo song Changing of the Light, for similar reasons.

As for my funeral, there's no question - it's gotta be Ambition  ;D

We also had Queen of My Heart as our first dance (not that I can dance). We played Fate at the reception and the floor was full!

For my funeral, I'd like Caslen (lyrics version)....or No Greater Love....I have a mate at work who said he wants Living in a Box  ;D

Well, my wedding would be nothing but birdsong and the sound of the sea beyond open cliff face where my beloved and I would be sanctified in a Holy ceremony...she'd be real glad because if there was a plug socket I would like that 'dontcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me' thing just in honour of how fat and forty something* and still smoking hot she is but she takes her Holy ceremonies seriously - so there'd be trouble there.
So - wedding would be acoustic birdsong and seasound only.  And the Priest's chanting of the ceremony and his blessing.

The Burn out - well for the burn out I would like some very very deep Orthodox chanting but those folk are busy praying - I'm most likely to get my kids saying 'did he like Deep Purple?  I think he did yeah.  There's one here called Burn let's just have a minute of that and get on with it...' etc

ooohh - and Sozbot - I just want to say: beautiful; orange tree roads for leaving the old and also about everything these days seems to be some kind of sign - and also I want to say that it's all about you and him.  It's not about singers, poets; they can decorate.  But all that matters is you and him

Thanks, Knievel!
This wedding really is about the two of us - I've done it before with all the pomp and ceremony and the big white dress and it was all a bit futile in the end... this is nothing like that. The two of us, wearing clothes WE like, getting married in a place that means something to us, sharing the day with family and close friends we want to celebrate with.

So of course, we've gotta have music that genuinely means something!

Tonight, as you stare at the ceiling again
With your lover turning away
Disappointment closing in
Like the walls... and you try...
You try to talk about love
And they put their arms around you
But you still feel all alone
Wonder why...

Don't need to pick a wedding song as I'm divorced and will NEVER get married again.

I did always think that it would be great having "Burn" by Deep Purple blasting out as my wooden box rolled into the conflagration. (Knievel mentioned that one too)  ;)

"Waltzinblack" by The Stranglers always appealed as I would imagine people stood around who weren't familiar with song looking at each other and saying "WTF is this?"
