DISPOSAL I'd like to be cremated and my ashes scattered to the four winds from the top of a mountain - preferably the Scheffauer in the Austrian Alps, but if cash is short, Curley hill in Lightwater country park, Surrey will do! In fact I think I'd prefer that as it's where home is, and where I spent a lot of time - from walks with Mum, Dad and Lec as a kid, to walks with Suzanne and out biking on my own..Yes, definitely Curley hill please.
COFFIN Something cheerful would be nice! If they're too expensive, a plain old box will do...
RELIGION I'm a C of E Christian! Confirmed at 18!!
Not outwardly religious but believe there's something out there...I think? I'm really not sure.
GUESTS I'd like everyone to come except those with whom I worked. My life was enjoyable outside of work, not in it, and I don't want reminding of that place at my funeral thanks! On top of family members I've known a lot of great people, and I'd like them to be there - the Heatherside lads, Susie (my best pal), Matty, Sam, Push, Sandra etc.
MUSIC "The soundtack to my departure" - So much to choose from! I love all music except jazz and shite modern soul and RnB...I guess a bit of Mozart would be the proper thing to do, but the one band who have always been the best in my book are The Charlatans. I'd say they've been the soundtrack to my life probably more than anyone else. So, lots of Charlatans (favourite tunes listed below) plus the following:
Ride - OX4
The Vines - Winning Days
The Beloved - Found (For Suzanne)
Chapterhouse - Pearl
Slowdive - Waves
Orbital - Halcyon + On + On (LP version)
Ric Ocasek - This side of paradise
Cocteau Twins - A kissed out redfloatboat
The Verve - Lucky man
The Police - Every little thing she does is magic (for Suzanne)
Underworld - Cowgirl (Bedrock remix)
Doves - The Cedar room
Cooper temple clause - Let's kill music
Lisa Gerrard - Elegy
Ride - Sennen
Lamb - Gorecki
Icehouse - Great Southern land
Boo Radleys - Kaleidoscope
Orbital - One perfect sunrise
Wedding Present - Take me!
Nowhere - Resound
Bob Dylan - Tangled up in blue
The Stone Roses - Mersey Paradise
The Charlatans:

Christian
Susie

EPITAPH I had a great time! Can't wait for the next one!
OBITUARY I was born on October 27th 1971, brought up on a diet of good music which led to a bit of a lifetime obsession with the stuff. Life tootled along ok, got a job, which sucked but paid the bills; work was not an important aspect of my life! Always had a very active mind and don't like to sit around too long - I'd rather have something to do. Love being outside, love biking, running - anything that gets the blood pumping through the veins! Love Sunsets, Sunrises, mountains, anything any place and anyone that makes me feel alive..Met some very good people along the way - My family - always supportive, always there. Susie, Push, Sam, Matty, Sarah L, Sandra, ( and many others) - all people that have made the world a better place to live in. Then along came Suzanne, who is very special. You always hope you'll meet the one, but never sure if it'll happen. I know I'm a very lucky person because I have. Suzanne is everything to me and I hope I made her as happy as she made me during my life. I will always love her deeply. Then in 2008 along came Dylan. He has made Suzanne and me so unbelievably happy, we just want to make his life totally great! He's everything to us and makes us smile all the time. Wow I am so lucky :)Things took an unexpected turn when we ended up in the Seychelles for a while, but hopefully we'll be back home soon. There's no place like England.
OTHER Let the family decide on where and when but I'd like everyone I know (knew) to be there! Oh and chuck a couple of CD's in the casket so I've got summat to listen to on the way to wherever (a bit of Sasha and The Charlatans please!) |
