Day twenty-four

A song you want to play at your funeral


Are you for freaking real!?

To be honest, I've never really thought much about my funeral. It's not really something I go into. I'm more of a "When I die, I'm going to face God and be judged." which obviously.... takes priority.

But um, let's see.

I'm finking....

Allegri's Miserere is really rather beautiful. (You don't have to listen to it all, the thing last like ten minutes.)


English translation:

Have mercy upon me, O God, after Thy great goodness
According to the multitude of Thy mercies do away mine offences.
Wash me throughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin.

I mean, seriously. Wow. Doesn't that make your heart hurt a little? 




And now I'm going because I have stuff to do. 

Cheers!

    1. lol it just seems so WEIRD to plan your own funeral!

      lots of hymns, I think.

      I don't blame you for not listening to it. It's long, and Gregorian Chant, while beauteous, takes some getting used to. XD

    For the record, I spent nearly all day trying to refrain from doing that.
