'Final Songs' is an album getting released on Get Physical and is inviting various people to choose which songs they want played at their funeral.
Which got me thinking about which songs were actually about funerals. I've put my selection on a Quietus Spotify mix here if you want to listen to it.
I vetoed 'Tramp Down The Dirt' because despite its fine sentiments it's truly awful. Fucking pan pipes. There are plenty of songs that invoke funereal imagery and terminology like coffin nails but fewer that are good but actually about a burial.
Anyway, mine are here. Any more suggestions?
(Also in the article is a link to an awesome Devo video that features Hendrix flying out of his coffin to play a guitar solo. )
