Song (or music) you want played at your funeral.

This is a variation on the "Favorite song" (or Classical composition) choice, as this title should in some way be related to mortality. Can you tell I'm approaching the end of mine? For me the choice is obvious; imo one of the three greatest songs I've ever heard (the other two being "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" and "No Time To Cry"): "God Only Knows", music by Brian Wilson, lyrics by Tony Asher, recorded by The Beach Boys in 1965. Light years above what anyone else in Pop music (or even Classical and Jazz) was doing at the time (or has done since), including The gd Beatles.

"Surprised it has not been mentioned as yet. Had a friend that went into the biz, he wanted to have Stairway to Heaven playing in his place...why not?..."

And somebody in attendance can shout "Freebird"!

The final movement, adagio, to Mahler’s Ninth Symphony. Arguably, the greatest symphonic movement ever written.

Spirit of the rising sun lift me up

Soon I will be loved...…
