I've always been partial to, "just a closer walk with thee" with a lot of brass. It's what play for me someday.

"Turkey in the Straw" on Kazoos is also quite moving.

When I die

My mother insists that we play “ On the Road Again” as the last song at her funeral.

It’s mom, so I guess we’ll do it.

Naw brah,

“Mull of Kintyre” Wings (1977) YouTube Link

That’s the dismissal song for the after party.

It’s so peaceful and heart piercing at the same time

I told my mom I want “ your hand in mine” by explosions in the sky played at mine if I go

Your hand in mine

Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM

Biloxi, MS fire department has a bagpipe troupe. Annually, they play a tribute to fallen firefighters. Gets me every time

Scotland the Brave...can we talk about those first two seconds of the tune? Nothing would scare me more than that should I find myself an enemy of the Scots!!

funeral song?


Another One Bites the Dust

Seriously, though, one of my favorite marches on the bagpipes is the Mist Covered Mountains of Home.

Example from the funeral of the Queen Mother

Another example from the John Frost Bridge, Arnhem, Holland

I told my mom if I go early, I want bagpipes. Ode to Scottish background and there’s something beautiful about them at a funeral. Any other time, no. Not gonna be bumping bagpipes in my car.
