30 day music challenge in 10 days: Day 4!
24: A song that you want to play at your funeral
I think I’d like my funeral to be a joyous occasion and would want people to remember me through dance. Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” is both awesome and more appropriate for the setting than you would imagine…
23: A song that you want to play at your wedding
I am a fan of the standards and it’s tough to get more classic standard than George and Ira Gershwin’s ‘Our Love is Here to Stay.’ It is timeless and sums up what a life together should be without being too sappy.
22 : A song that you listen to when you’re sad
I somehow wasn’t really aware of either Nico nor the Velvet Underground for sometime (meaning until The Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack). It’s not that I hadn’t heard their music, I just wasn’t aware that I had heard it before. So, at the age of about 16 I found ‘These Days,’ and what better time to hear this song than when you are 16? It had a profound effect on me – there were many a nighttime drive along listening to this song on repeat. That kind of angst is kept at a minimum now, 10 years later (oh my goodness has it been that long?) but it’s still there when I’m sad.
