Entirely incidentally, a friend of mine has had his funeral song written for
quite some time. It's a nice boppy guitar ditty (no vocals) with a stock
scale-dropping showtune-style repeat clause. It's one of the happiest little
pieces of music I've ever heard (although I might just think that because
he's got a big grin on his face every time he plays it). He's given
instructions that we don't stop playing the song until the last person
leaves the funeral, no matter how long it takes.
I've always had a lot of affection for that idea.
Cheers,
M.
