This was a triumph.

I'm making a note here:

Huge success!

Well it's got to be Frank Turner's "Eulogy" innit?

Not everyone grows up to be an astronaut

Not everyone was born to be a king

Not everyone can be Freddie Mercury

But everyone can raise their glass and sing

Well I haven't always been a perfect person

Well I haven't done what mum and dad had dreamed

But on the day I die, I'll say at least I fucking tried

That's the only eulogy I need

Anything by tropical fuck storm. Maybe "it's getting boring by the sea" by blood red shoes.

Hm.

I don't think I can pick one. I don't know if that means I don't know myself or I know myself too well.

"The egg and I" by the seatbelts?

That's pretty good

The true answer.

Side note, there used to be a YouTube video of this song where the audio was muted for a copyright violation.

Another One Bites The Dust

I would hope it's something good, something with a nice beat and maybe a piano. A song I adore but haven't heard in a decade.

My grandfather died listening to Willie Nelson it was peaceful at least.

[–] jerrythegenius@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

probably one of these

  • First love (young oceans)
  • ain't no grave (crowder)
  • well done (the afters)
  • the tired and the hurt (moby)
  • always look on the bright side of life (monty python)
  • hearing (sleeping at last)

My Grandad died while my uncle played it is well with my soul

An old Mexican song, Guitarras, Lloren Guitarras., something like Guitars, Cry Oh Guitars. The music is fantastic and it seemed to me he wasn't singing about guitars at all.

Lyrics translation:

Guitarras, lloren guitarras,

Guitars, cry oh guitars

violines lloren igual;

violins you cry as well;

no dejen que yo me vaya

don't let me leave

con el silencio de su cantar.

with your song silenced.

Gritemos a pecho abierto

Let's yell with a full chest

un canto que haga temblar

a song to make tremble

al mundo que es el gran puerto

this world that is the great port

donde unos llegan y otros se van.

where some arrive and others go.

Ahora me toca a mí dejarlas,

Now it's my turn to leave you,

ahora me toca a mi marchar;

now it's my turn to part

guitarras, lloren guitarras

guitars, cry oh guitars

que ahí queda lleno de amor,

that there remains so full of love,

prendido de cada cuerda,

clinging to each string,

llorando a mares mi corazón.

crying oceans, my heart.

Afroman - Because I Got High

Or

Dr. Hook - I Got Stoned and I Missed It

Same song in two genres, really.
