Good to hear from you again. Very appropriate to mention your father-in-law's preference for Vera Lynn on this ANZAC Day. Lest we forget. It must have been gratifying to be able to fulfil his wishes. I had a dispute with my colleagues about this same subject just the other day. They were all of the opinion that it's pointless to make any plans for your funeral because you won't be there to ensure they are carried out or to experience any of it. They just wanted everybody to have a big party and have fun. I'm of the belief that we should respect the dead and, whether or not they can experience it or not, a person's final wishes are sacred. As for an appropriate Joni song for a funeral, I think it should be an individual thing: a Joni song that expresses you as a person or how you feel about life or what is important. In general terms, The Circle Game seems to be an appropriate song about life. This Place is an expression of satisfaction with home and mentions Heaven.

"Love" kind of springs to mind because these words of St Paul are often used at either weddings or funerals (interesting how they can work for both.) "Songs to again children come" was used in a funeral scene in the "Alice's Restaurant" movie. I'm just saying. It wouldn't be my choice. "BSN" would definitely work. Here's a list. Some of them are sick humour. Others would be appropriate for certain types of people. It would probably help if there were Joni fans at the funeral. "River" "A case of you" "Sweet bird" "Shadows and light" "A chair in the sky" "God must be a boogie man" "Impossible dreamer" "My best to you" "Let the wind carry me" (This is serious, but humourous too if I'm cremated) "This flight tonight" (if I die in a plane crash.) "Dog eat dog" (if I'm really cynical, or am eaten by dogs/wolves) I like your choice of "Highway to hell." But I think, if I wanted to get the tears going, I'd want Jane Siberry's "The Valley" as sung by kd lang. And then maybe follow that with something funny like Monty Python's "Always look at the bright side of life." ________________________________ From: Melissa Gibbs To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Sun, April 25, 2010 9:03:09 PM Subject: Funeral music Which leads me to consult the list - what Joni song would you like played at your funeral? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:42:18 +0100 From: Anita G Subject: Re: Funeral music Hi Melissa and Mark Yes, I'd like to add my voice to remember all soldiers everywhere on Anzac Day. In relation to one's own funeral, I have had it planned for some time, not through gloominess but because I've been to so many funerals recently that have not, in my view, reflected the person I knew. Also, my own Mother (now 83 and highly disabled) doesnt want to plan it at all, so I am left wondering quite what she wants. I just dont want to do that to those around me. Mark, I have also been to so many funerals where people want everyone to come in bright clothes, celebrate the life of the person gone and have a 'party and fun'. Well I want lots of weeping, people to be dressed in black because I will be greatly missed :~)))!!! (Not much narcissism or grandiosity there then). We are all particles of change, I know, I know. So, to start I want Hejira (the song) played because it says everything about existence that I ever wanted to say. If people make it to the end of that long old song, I want someone to play Both Sides Now and for everyone to sing it (instead of a hymn). The, because its my absolute favourite, started my love of Joni and connects me to my 14 year old self, Id like people to listen to The Dawntreader. Steph and Id favourite film is Calamity Jane. We had Secret Love played at our civil partnership, so I always said I wanted my coffin to enter the back door to The Deadwood Stage! However, I recently went to a funeral that had a lone piper piping my friend in and it was absolutely brilliant. Full of gravitas and very haunting. Im not Scottish, but it was rather splendid. I havent got my readings sorted yet, but probably a few things from Kahil Gibrans The Prophet, possibly about Marriage and Death. I want to be cremated (unlike Steph who wants to be buried, so we have some planning to do there. Shes definitely earth to my flying fire). I would really love a violinist to play the beginning of Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending as I go towards the fire. I did a Medicine Wheel ceremony once, and the animal I was given was a lark, so it has a lot of meaning for me in all kind of ways  not least larking about! Of course, my ashes have to be scattered to I just blew in from the Windy City. I told Bob off list that I have been very active on list recently, because I have been finding comfort and distraction here on JMDL. I do a lot of caring for my Mother at the moment, whom I thought was on her way out, but has, in fact, improved. I am also awaiting results of a few medical tests myself which is a wee bit scary. For many on JMDL, over many years, thats just their bread and butter. I then remember Wally, Smurph, Mary Grace, Andrea, Mags brother and family. I remember Monica went through a lot with her Mother. I am sure there are more that I may have forgotten and Im sorry if I have. It feels personally a very hard time and I sometimes wonder how we human beings ever manage all the grief and sadness we have in our lives. And then Joni does it again. She writes: In the church they light the candles..etc. etc. No wonder I love her music so much.

Earth and fire, huh? Just feel lucky that you're not water like me. I put out fire and turn earth to mud. What I left out of my story of the debate with my colleagues was my side of it. After them animatedly telling of the celebration they wanted when they die, to their horror, I said exactly what you did; I want women dressed in black with veils, weeping uncontrollably. I think they thought of me as selfish for wanting people to be sad. It's not that I want them to feel bad, I just need to have made an impression on someone. To know that I will be missed, that I wasn't insignificant and that I can stir an emotion in someone. You see, I can cry at the knowledge of anyone's death, whether I even knew them or not. I have only been to one funeral - my mother's. She was also always of the mind that people should feel happy at her funeral. It was somewhere in the middle, filled with personal touches which she would have liked. If she knew me at all, she knew there was no way that I was ever going to be happy at losing the closest person in my life, my friend, my mentor, my mother. Is this just a matter of perspective? Is perspective all that we are anyway? She was a true atheist. She gave no thought to any kind of afterlife and was happy to be cremated. Not me, I want to laid out in a glass casket like Snow White, surrounded by bouquets of flowers, a string quartet and woodland animals sitting by my side. Throngs of mourners weeping into the late evening and a memorial erected. Hejira crossed my mind too, Anita but, it seems to be a mourning of the passing of a relationship rather than a person. On the other hand, Joni says a lot of things that are appropriate to just passing. The melancholy and the need for "coupling" is maybe prophetically appropriate for a final thought. The Dawntreader has always been special to me too, Anita. There is a sadness to that song. Maybe the message of a farewell in those lyrics are appropriate to a funeral after all. It seems to be about a new chapter and the sadness of leaving someone behind. As I watch the old men in the Dawn Service and the ANZAC parade, I think of what they have seen. These men in their nineties with the passage of time written on their faces and the horrible memories of war. There are only a few left now from the first "Great War" but the streets were packed with veterans. WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, East Timor, Afghanistan, Iraq. The wars just go on and on. Study war no more...

It sounds as if your father in law lived a long and full life, and I hope that knowing that makes the grief easier for you and your family. As for funeral music from Joni....I'm new to Joni, and at the moment only know four of her albums (Blue, For the Roses, C&S, and Hissing), so my choices are a bit limited. Like you, I like the idea of playing a humorous song at my funeral, so I must say that I think Twisted would be great for that. As a more serious choice, I immediately thought of Sweet Bird when I read your question. I think I'm going with that. When I was a teenager, a good friend of mine was killed in a car crash (I'm sure a lot of us can say that). The funeral was agonizing. He, in his morbid teenage way, had made a pact with his best friends...if one died, the others would make sure that Motley Crue's Home Sweet Home was played at his funeral. That's the main thing I remember about that horrible day. God, that's depressing. On a lighter note, I'm going to the dog beach today with my mom and my beloved Django Reinhardt (he has no idea! he's going to be soooo thrilled!). I hope everyone has/has had a lovely day as well. xoxoxo Leah (in LA for 4 more days) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:19:04 -0600 From: Kate Johnson Subject: Re: Funeral music On 26-Apr-10, at 5:42 AM, Anita G wrote: > I sometimes wonder how we > human beings ever manage all the grief and sadness we have in our > lives. Interestingly no, amazingly people smile through the tears and keep on finding sweetness and joy in life. People are absolutely inspiring, the way they (we) keep on keeping on in spite of deep, deep pain. I always thought the natural thing to do when experiencing tragic loss would be to collapse and weep, and often that is what we do  but then we get up and carry on. That we do it surprises me. Maybe it's because we really have no choice but to deal with the present moment, no matter where our minds are habitually at. I haven't been able to think of a Joni song that would suit my funeral, but it happened that shortly before the question was asked onlist, I was working in the kitchen and listening to Katell Keineg's CD, Jet, and when she sang "I Had One Hell of a Life," I thought "That would be a perfect song for my funeral (if I was having one; I'd rather not put my loved ones through it, even though some may think funerals are "healing" or "comforting" or provide "closure." I don't. I guess I find a lot of ritual rather empty and meaningless; and this is particularly true at church funerals). Unfortunately I couldn't find a performance of it on Youtube to share here. Wasn't it great to read that Joni's recovering well from the Morgellon's? I wish we heard more about her personal life -- how her dad is doing, whether she sees much of her daughter and grandchildren, does she get home to Saskatchewan very often -- you know. How she is DOING. That girl had better write a memoir; and will there be a movie based on it someday? I hope I'm still alive to see it. Imagine how Joni could dramatize her own life! Better than anyone else could, that's for sure.

Briefly, the song is wistful and poignant and content, emotions expressed far too rarely in modern song (imho). It reminded me somewhat, melodically, of Urge for Going, I Don't know Where I Stand and That Song About the Midway, three of my favorite early Jonis. I had cause to muse on the topic of "home" while I wandered around charming, chaotic San Francisco last week. I lived there foir almost 20 years, so it certainly felt like home, as does Rhode Island when I visit there. I found that what I missed most while in San Francisco was my dogs at my side, the recently departed Mari who wandered the streets of the City with me for over three years, and also the rambunctious Amelia, so full of false alrms. So I guess for me, home is where the dog is -- in this case, beautiful, peaceful West Bountiful, UT.

Joni needs to write a blog! She can morph that into her memoir, if she wants to go that way. See how easy I am to get along with? It sounds like the kind of thing people do on Twitter too, though I haven't tried it myself, but if you want to do short synopses of what you're up to, apparently Twitter is the way to go. I just happen to hate the name Twitter, because it sounds too much like Twit, but it works for some people. I wonder if there's anyone in her PR group (or whatever, because I really don't want to use the word "entourage") who monitors this list and tells her the sometimes brilliant (IMHO - heh-heh) and sometimes silly things we talk about (and sometimes they even include Joni-related things.) I don't actually expect to get an answer to that. Just wishful thinking. There's lots of work involved in anything like a blog (or that T thing.) I've attempted to start a blog several times, but I just run out of energy after a few attemps, so I have great admiration to those who can sustain it.
