alenxa_classicDay 23 - A song that you want to play at your wedding
U2, "All I Want Is You." Actually did play it at my wedding, for the first dance. We provided all the music, which was sort of a snafu; we'd been told the sound system would hook up to an iPod, but never got to test it. So, on the day, of course it didn't work. We were extremely grateful that we'd thought to burn and bring mix CDs. And just as grateful that the playlists had been organized by artist-first-name, when it turned out that the guy in the booth didn't know how to hit shuffle. :p We also included "The Lady of Shalott" and "The Highwayman" by Loreena McKennitt (about three people actually listened closely enough to know what they were hearing, which was amusing), "Jackie's Strength" by Tori Amos (which I would have used as this item were it not for the item below), selections from the Lord of the Rings soundtracks, and the end-theme version of "Honey" from the CCS single collection, plus a bunch of stuff I can't remember at the moment.
Day 24 - A song that you want to play at your funeral
Tori Amos, "Happy Phantom." This is the list item that took me the longest to settle on. There's no shortage of death songs in the world, but some of them are so specific. I mean, I'm not a teenager in tragic love, so there goes what seems like half the library. And for a lot of the rest you have to know how you're going to die. Which usually only happens if you're clairvoyant or suicidal, and I don't plan on being either anytime soon; but I do like to cover my bases. So, if I'm killed in a car accident, especially if I'm the only one who dies from it, I'd like to amend this to "Passage" by Vienna Teng.
