I attended a funeral today and as I sat through the service I noticed several things that I want to make sure no one picks but me. First and most important if you know me, is the music. While I love the old Hymns, I want this to be a remembrance on life and a reminder of who I was. My list is all over the place and sometimes a little unconventional but then again, so am I.
1. If I Ever Leave This World Alive-Flogging Molly
I lost my dear sweet sister last year and this song comforted me during darkest hour. The lyrics are "wherever I am, you'll always be more than just a memory." That says everything and its Irish and a little punk. Look it up, I guarantee you'll love it and it's from one of the best chick flicks eva P.S. I Love You.
2. Time Of Your Life-Greenday
Greenday, come one the best ending song. "For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life."
3. I Can Only Imagine-Mercy Me
This is my favorite contemporary hymn I play this every morning on my way to work and sing to the top of my lungs. The lyrics are so true "Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all?" I can only imagine. This songs makes me believe as soon as I go I will have my answer and I will feel his love.
Now, I'm serious don't play sad sappy music that makes people cry at my funeral. I'm a planner, I have to have a plan. I want a slide show of my best photographs that I took over the years. Not the portraits or the weddings, I mean my stuff. The ones that feed the soul. The ones that tell you who I was and what inspired me. I also realized I need to take more pics of me. I need to be in front of the camera some and not just behind it. That being said, here's one ~S
