This week Eden has taken a morbid twist with her Fresh Horses Brigade - asking us to share our funeral songs. As in the ones we want played at our own funerals.
It's not the sweetest thing to think about,
but it's definitely a car conversation I've had many times.
I feel spoiled for choice really
- from U2 to Xavier Rudd to Powderfinger,
I could keep 'em sitting there in the pews for hours with a beautiful playlist.
I figure I'm irritating enough in life though, so might spare people further pain in death.
As I reflect, I keep coming back to Robbie Williams.
Whether this is a sign that Robbie and I will be together (as he knows we should be) before I leave this world or whether it means he will finally see the error of his ways and turn up repentant to my funeral to pay tribute to the woman he let slip through his fingers - twice -
I don't know.
But I do know he would sing these two...
'Nan's Song' by Robbie :
and 'Angels' by Robbie:
Poor guy.
I can only imagine how distraught he'll be - finally finding some true meaning for his lyrics.
Happy weekend folks.

Well, colour me insensitive, cos I LAUGHED. How cool would it be if Robbie Williams turned up at your funeral and did the whole dramatic regrets scene?
People would be talking about that for years!
Ah, Robbie, Robbie, Robbie, no doubt he'll be distraught at my passing too ;)
Great song choices.
Only you could make me laugh while reading about this topic - and yes! I love Nan's song too...and the man who sings it..hmmm.
Oh Shar your dreamin...I left Robbie of my play list cause he will be in the coffin with me...hehehe!!
oh i forgot about robbie... i love robbie... perfect song choices...
but such a weird concept to be thinking about really, but one we just seem to think about!!! xx
You know I was so going to write a post this week about Robbie. I've re-established my love for him after a few years, and have been playing him non stop! *sigh* I think I'll be watching all my Robbie DVD's tomorrow while Mr G goes to golf. I'm swooning at the thought! :-)
I can totally see it happening - he'd be choked up but would find the strength to sing for you :) Robbie Williams is a top choice - I like it!
I think a big long playlist is a good idea... who cares if it keeps people waiting. ;)
Love me some Robbie. LOVE. He is just so goddamn HOT.
And I like your idea of keeping people sitting in the pew for hours, listening to songs. They'd have to sit and listen, too. It would be rude to leave.
Robbie! I love Robbie, Nce choices Shar.
He would be on my playlist too!
I can't believe I am saying this, but great choice of funeral songs Shar lol ummmm hopefully Robbie will be way out of fashion by the time that day comes :) I mean that in the nicest possible way cause I totally love Robbie too, but he will be about as popular as Neil Doamond by the time you cark it....oh this is all coming out so wrong xxxx
I love the song, Angels! Robbie is a genius.
