killjoywhatsername Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 First off, delete if not allowed in this section. My dad passed away three days ago after a battle with cancer and I’ve been put in charge of trying to make playlist of songs for the luncheon and we scatter his ashes. The playlist is eclectic so far is eclectic with his faves (50s songs such as Beep Beep by The Playmates to anything by the Offspring. To then fam added Faith Hill and Flogging Molly) and I’m thinking Wake Me Up When September Ends or Good Riddance but have been wondering if there are more cause those seem almost too on the nose to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 So sorry to hear this, losing your dad is so hard to get over. If he was a big music fan then I would say either of those, keep it a great mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatsername Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I'm so, so sorry. I lost my dad last year too, it's so damn hard. I feel you. I listened to "No One Knows" a lot, I think it could be a wonderful choice too. Maybe the lyrics not so much, but the overall atmosphere. The beautiful intro, the harmonies... 💔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac90 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Sorry for your loss I would just go with his favorite tunes because it seems like he loved music in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggins Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I think WMUWSE would be appropriate. Just know that that song will never be the same again for you. I'm so sorry for your loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizziebix Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Sorry for your loss. Losing a dad is hard and as someone said whatever you play will always remind you of that day, in both a good and bad way. My dad’s been gone a long time and there’s one song I still find hard to listen to. But you might find it comforting. Do what will work for you and your memories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post killjoywhatsername Posted April 23, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2023 Thanks y’all. I went with WMUWSE. The playlist is we chaotic with his taste in music and the family’s inputs but I think that’s a good choice and just kinda fits. Plus it played while making the arrangements the other day. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyEmerald Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 It really depends on how you feel about the person the funeral is for really... Be honest with your feelings. Last Ride In would be good if there are no words to describe how you feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
