i've noticed one or two ppl leaving comments on boards of canada's mypace page saying
that they will have certain tracks of theirs played at their funeral. It got me thinking,
if you were to have a BoC song, or any song played during your procession what would it be?

Broken Drum Remix.

- Or -

Everything You Do is a Balloon

But really, I'd like to have one of those Louisiana Death Marches. (-=

Over The Horizon Radar, no question.

zoetrope

Without a doubt it would have to be 'Farewell Fire'. Every time I hear it I am struck with the image of a long funeral procession that slowly dissapears into the distance.

Sometimes I have difficulty listening to it because I feel as though I am hearing my own death... And this was well before I saw this topic.

Sorry to disappoint you here, but my choice is not BOC, but: In Flagranto Delicto, a track from the album: Zamia Lehmanni [Songs of Byzantine Flowers] 1986, the band is called SPK, an astonishing track for a funeral and i won't change my mind

Maybe a weird choice but...
Dawn chorus,

Turquoise Hexagon Sun

and

The Cinematic Orchestra-Horizon

boards of canada - orange romeda

aphex twin - tha

[ nuff said ] aphex is probably on top with "tha" but i chose orange romeda if it were a boc track

I would choose Old Tunes Vol. 1 Disc 1 Track 4. This is assuming that I can postumously attend the funeral myself, presumably as a ghost of some sort, and see the confused look on every single attendee. This track is without a doubt, one of the more strange and humorous of the BoC trax, and it seems to fit what will likely be a bizarre and humorous event.

HAH @ Zander Two... That would be the most confusing funeral ever...

olson (ver.1 from MHTRTC), then ill finally be home.

I was about to edit my post and post the Olson
The song gives me this feeling like no other song give`s me....

Julie and candy. Just because I love that song so much, great memories tied to it.

its very hard to choose ain't it? 'the herald' by comus would probably be my choice.
if not that then kiteracer 2

For BoC, maybe Kiteracer 2, as well.

But I think I would want an Andrew Bird song.

Aphex Twin - Rhubarb

If I'm going down I'm taking everyone else with me!

So true.
Farewell Fire, is so much drenched in emotion, sorrow, grief, that you can almost taste it. That would definitly pull a lot of tears..

Another great one: 1986 summerfire. Although short, it always gave me the 'saying goodbye to someone/something you will never see again'-feeling. A deeply moving song in my book.

Yeah, that oughta do it!
Lichen is also a nice, warm little possibility.

I think farewell fire is a good option. ABPOITC has a religious quality to it also. And Dawn Chorus.

For sheer bombastic awesome, however.. I'd have to choose this:
