~4th April~ Music Meme Day 24

Yo yo yo!

Today's song is a Song You Would Want To Play At Your Funeral. And it was a such a toughie it took two days to come up with an answer. But I  think I've cracked it.

Given my personality, I don't tend to think about my funeral all that often. Well, in case of an in-college death due to work overload or angry lecturers I have left my friends with a vague funeral plan but ironically no musical selection. I wanted something big but not the usual Bette Midler/Sarah Maclaughlin/Josh Groban, so I really had to think about this. I eventually came up with to the conclusion I had to turn to the world of musical theatre. And I think I found something sufficiently heart-breaking and beautiful in 'I'll Cover You (Reprise)' from the musical Rent:

And so the catch up continues:

Today song is A Song You Want To Play At Your Wedding. Now this one, is a a bit vague. I didn't understand if it was the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to, or the first dance or something... so I went with the father-daughter dance. I'll admit it, I'm a complete Daddy's Girl. He's grumpy and miserable most of the time, but I'd have never learnt or cook or keep my gadgets in working order without him. I love him to pieces and that's why I chose 'I Loved Her First' by Heartland

I really should stop leaving this thing to the last minute, because I've still got catching up to do.

So yesterday's song was A Song You Listen To When Your Sad. Again, if you've been reading this blog I've stated that my state of mind gets reflected on my musical selections. When I'm sad however, yes I'll listen to sad songs, but I have a specifically prepared playlist filled with songs with the theme of picking yourself up and moving on. And personal favourite of this type of song is Trading Yesterday's 'Shattered':

P.S. I apologise for the lack of any April Fool's Prank for you folks. I've been absolutely buried under college work. Maybe next year.
