Mostly happy/love songs, sad songs only if are slow ones so that people can romantically dance with someone else (and the "organizers" like those songs too ofc). At least for what I noticed myself at parties/weddings I've been to DaniSRB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy songs And as for the question about the song I want to be played at my funeral, I have no idea Something sad obviously, a song that defines me, but I didn't really think about that DaniSRB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted March 7, 2018 #1875 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Depends of what moment of the birthday or wedding party you mean. Of course if people want to dance it's almost only upbeat songs, but in other moments there can be sad songs, if by "sad" you mean the typical "love break up" song (like, I dont know, Adele or something like that).

When people think about you, the first thing that comes in mind is sad stuff?

Nothing specific though, generally speaking (of course there's always people doing it differently) About a wedding, I don't really know, never been to a wedding But I'm guessing it's mostly happy music, or some love songs. About the mother of all sad events, a funeral, I think it depends on the situation. At my grandma's funeral a little over a year ago, there was no special service inside a church or something, it was all around the grave, and there wasn't really music there. On the other hand, when a cousin of mine got cremated early this year (found out he had cancer at the end of November, died on 1 January, leaving a 10-year old daughter, the world is cruel), I wasn't there (not so close to him) but I heard they played some 'nice' music, like Hotel California. Which brings me to another question (for everyone): have you guys and girls ever thought about the music you would like to have played at your funeral/cremation/farewell service? I know some people here are like "oh my god I don't even wanna talk about that", which I never understand, because why not simply make sure that your wishes for your farewell service (even if that's 50+ years from now) are written down? You never know what can happen. I once said jokingly that I would like Lordi's "The Devil is a Loser" played at my funeral, although I don't think everyone in my family would appreciate that Glad someone asked that question!! I already have sort of a playlist for such "special" occasions heywoodu and OlympicIRL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
