You know.. I keep thinking of tons more but I need to stop.
But interesting question. Often when I’m listening to a song I think “Hmm, I’ll be sure to write this on my list of funeral songs.”
Morbid? I think not…
For my funeral…
Home Sweet Home, Motley Crue.
Freebird, Lynerd Skynerd
Powerslave, Iron Maiden
Lets start with my top one being mama, I’m coming home by ozzy!!! I can’t wait to die just for that song. Others including If I close My eyes forever by ozzy and lita ford, sweet emotions by aerosmith, cemetary gates by pantera, kiss by a rose by seal, november rain by guns and roses, last dance with mary jane by tom petty, without you by motley crue, thanks for the memories by fall out boy, and last but not least time of your life by green day. Now don’t steal my ideas!!!
