Five Songs

I’ve been tagged, this time by toomanytribbles for five songs to be played at my funeral… ** years of music and I have to choose just five songs ? I actually don’t want a funeral service as such. I would rather be cremated without ceremony and move straight on to my send-off party. Food, drink, music and barefoot dancing. Remember what I loved. Remember me that way.

The music ? Oh well, here goes. This is how I feel today. Tomorrow I’ll have changed my mind.

Skunk Anansie : Rise Up from Paranoid and Sunburnt. Because I love this woman.

You don’t have to run

You’ve got to rise up, sweet woman child

Staind : Outside (the live version) from Break the Cycle. Because it’s not perfect but it’s brilliant.

All the times
That I’ve cried
all this wasted,
it’s all inside
And I feel all this
pain stuffed it down
It’s back again and
I lie here in bed
All alone, I can’t mend
-but I feel
Tomorrow will be OK

Tricky: Evolution Revolution Love from Blowback. Because I was so moved to see this live and the vocals are simple but beautiful. And because I spent many good times down the road from where Tricky lived. And I miss the accents.

A song for the love of my life. Fierce Love (by you know who). Because it was written only for you.

Paul Weller: Wild Wood (live version from Modern Classics). Just because.
