I think I'd go for "Age Of Consent", because musically, with this bassline, it's quite upbeat and it's a nice way to say "it will be alright" or something...

YOUR SILENT FACE
...because of the line "you've caught me at a bad time, so why don't you piss off?"
:D
Its good to see this post is crawling with the hardcore members...
I think I'd have to go for 'Sooner than you Think' - very touching, and fairly humorous 'Hello everyone its nice to be here'
Id go with "Sooner than you Think" too, or possibly "Dreams Never End"...but probably more than likely "Elegia"
Fuck me, this morbid innit....

Of course it's a bit morbid but that's more fun thant just a "pick your best NO song". Because it doesn't have to be your best one, just the one you think would be appropriate.
By the way, a personal note to Liv, I'm a little disappointed you haven't reacted to the "Those Humans that form NO" as it was inspired by some of your posts... Well, you do want you want of course... :)
Dream Attack. Epic ! "Don't look in to the Sun..." - certainly not when I'm six feet under !!! :D

As I'm a bit of a depressing bastard ,it will have to be side 2 of "Closer". Apparently this goes down well at weddings,christenings,bar mitzvahs etc....
Dream Attack Live in Seattle 2002.
if i get a recording, you're all invited to hear it when they're shovelling the dirt....

The Funeral Party.
Oh sh*t, wrong band...
Hmmm, let's see...
Atmosphere or Avalanche comes to mind...
No, I think I would choose Elegia!

Liv,
You're in luck. Elegia and Sooner Than You Think are 5 & 6 on Low-Life. I bet with all the teary eyes in attendence you'll get to hear both. As for Dreams Never End...sounds like a good enscription for the old tombstone...

Can I mention Leonard Cohen? What a great combo!! Mr Cohen playing as everyone troops in to the crematorium. Then "Here are the young men" as I pass into the next world. Everyone's invited!!!!!
also The Smiths "asleep".What a corker!!!

You plan on having your funeral a Monday?
I'll be too busy for that. I'll keep that for the week-end.

my funeral?
best song for that: LEAVE ME ALONE
and i hope they will understand that and piss off
Originally posted by Patrick Personally, I find this whole topic totally unappealing.
Well, it's just another way to look at NO songs. This is not about thinking about our own death, anyone does at one time or another anyway, it is just looking at songs from a different perspective, some kind of game, if you wish...
Thanks for the serious response. I can understand asking what NO song should be played under various circumstances, but at your funeral just seems like taking the game to a place I don't really want to go.
I can understand that... But, about the "different circumstances", you'll have to admit the funreal is one very emotionally charged, hence the interest. But, agin, I understand what you mean.
patrick: always expect the worst! so you can live in peace and happiness. seb: do you really want hundreds of crying people around your body? you shouldn´t play NO then
Geoffroy: sorry I didn't see your last post til now. I'm glad you understand my reaction on this subject.
mikesonic: I find when I expect the worst, I'm never disappointed.
To be honest mate, I'd be well chuffed if I thought 'hundreds' would turn up to my funeral!...

Brian, are you psychic or something? Just how the hell do you know they will play Dream Attack in Seattle in 2002...oh, I just thought of something...what if, in my haste, someone has already pointed this out??? Oh well...fuck me then...so anyway, are you one of the Timelords or something??? Just curious, and if you do know the future, when will New Order be in Dallas again...
____________________ 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincedence? I think not!
Well...I guess for mine...I would have to say Love Vigilantes, since it does mention being dead and all....or maybe Lonesome Tonight...
____________________ 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincedence? I think not!
Actually, i contacted Miss Cleo on the psychic hotline and she told me that they would indeed play DreamAttack in Seattle in 2002. I didn't ask her about Dallas although i think chances are good. they always stop in dallas for some reason. the seventeen minute version of Elegia remastered would be divine if Dream Attack 2002 doesn't happen.
Brian...
it appears that the only reason they came to Dallas is 93 was because our local "alternative" station told them it was their 10th? birthday, even though the station was only like 4 or 5 years old at the time...so it was just a big lie...and they didn't come here in 87...but they made it to Austin...go figure...must be those fooking longhorns...
____________________ 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincedence? I think not!
And now that I think about it even more...maybe Temptation would be slightly more appropriate...I mean what more would you want your maker to hear than..."Oh no I've never met anyone quite like you before?"

Rolf Harris performing 'Atmosphere' or 'Decades'.
GO ROLF! GO ROLF! 
Oh yeah, and Spike Milligan 
reading the eulogy...
I'd have to go with Temptation for myself, but I'm surprised no-one mentioned "The Happy One" here...
CTD
it is "the happy one" for me. i tried to reply last month, but it wouldn't let me. oh well. the song is short and bouncy. works for me.

This is weird, because several years ago now I left strict instructions as to how my funeral should be arranged with my friends and family, so this really is the songs that will be at my funeral.
My mum and dad and a couple of friends have custom-burned CDRs with two songs on for playing at the end of my funeral: my favourite song 'Moon River' by Henry Mancini, which seques rather niftily into the 12" version of 'Lonesome Tonight' - mainly because of the lyrics about "you believe in youth", and "how many times before could you tell I didn't care" rounded off neatly by that "gob" on the studio floor!

definitely!!!
actually, i might opt for Love Will Tear Us Apart - not because of the lyrics or because i want to make some dramatic statement, but simply because it's my favorite song of all-time and nothing can make me feel alive in the same way that that song can (no pun-ish joke intended). i mean, my loved ones mean more to me than LWTUA - a LOT more - but i think that's the song everyone i'm close to associates with me because i talk about it constantly.
Originally posted by Spotnick Time to bring that one back....
It does bring back some memories...
New Order: 1963, Procession, Ceremony (heaven knows it's got to be this time)
Other bands: There is a light that never goes out (Smiths), Unfinished simpathy (Massive Attack), This is a low (Blur)
Originally posted by Buster Klumpy Indeed... :)Hi Patrick, by the way...
Hi, Mr. K!!!
Good to hear from you!
as i don't really want a funeral (all the sycophantic fawning...they could dump me off the side of a road for all i care. after all, i'll be dead so what would i know) it would be something upbeat and danceable, like TPK. then everyone would hit the pub and have a party.
I'd chose "Hey Andy" by Roland Orzabal. But as it has to be a NO song... Probably "Here to stay" :D

It may be perfect.
BUT everyone who's participating in this thread is gonna die cos it's very wrong to play with Death. You all kinda attract her to yourself.
& if you don't participate you won't die?
have always said i want elegia at mine, now there's a 17 min version all the better.
I'm far more interested in weddings than funerals at the moment, but Atmosphere will be played at my funeral, this has already been decided.
Something nice 'n' upbeat 'n' totally inappropriate for the occasion, just to remind people that, hey! we've gotta enjoy what we have while we have it, so CHEER UP YOU MISERABLE BASTARDS!!!
I dunno - the first song off the next LP?
Originally posted by Majestic Head Swings! I dunno - the first song off the next LP?
I want that one!
That means that I'll die only in 2122

Gosh, I was just thinking about this subject the other day, being a morbid bastard. I first thought of 'temptation' (and the cure's Inbetween days) cos I love em and cos they're just so.. poignant. But then I thought, poignant? don't be so po-faced, and opted for True Faith (and the lovecats!).
Though TPK would kind of fit wouldn't it? (now I know the pefect kiss...)
Actually, just play the entire NO catalog, and noone goes home till its done.
:evil2:Close Range, symbolizing what I've always striven to do. The world in my hands.... sort of thing. I wanna scream, I wanna shout ect

Just got the DVD back from my wedding in March and SUPRISE my wife had them dub Blue Monday for the preceremony groom portion and BLT for the dancing shots!!!
Wake: BLT and Face Up Funeral: Leave me alone
Originally posted by Sean Kant kino The Eternal, Decades or In a Lonely Place.
a lot of JD songs would be extremely fitting.
any of those songs would make everyone there ten times more miserable! but they're definitely fitting songs for a funeral.
