Reasons for the songs we chose

I have spoken over the months to people how have remarked on the songs that we chose to play at Kayleigh's funeral and alot of the time the reason that we chose the songs we did was hard to explain in a short meaningful way so I thought I would write it down here.

Foo  Fighters ' Let it Die' from Foo Fighters 'Echoes Silence Patience & Grace 'album.
The album was one of Kayleigh's favourite to listen to on record (yes VINYL) and Let it Die was her favourite song on the album. We choose this not only as  a song that Kayleigh loved, but as a question to the 'higher being' that took her away from us. Kayleigh liked this song as it starts of softly and slowly and got heavier and louder ending up with the singer almost screaming the words 'Why'd you have to go and let it die?'

Why'd you have to go and let it die?
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
In too deep and out of time.
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

Do you ever think of me?
You're so considerate.
Do you ever think of me?
Oh, so considerate.

In too deep and lost in time
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

Celine Dion ' My Heart Will Go On' - Kayleigh's most favourite song in the whole world - previously written about in this blog.

Lily Allen ' F**k You" from her 'It's not Me, It's You" album
This song Kayleigh had as her ringtone for a while until she realised that it might go off at an inappropriate time and embarrass her. Kayleigh loved Lily Allen and I know people thought we chose this song as a f**k you to the higher being - but our reason was quite different. The song is a 'happy' song with an uplifting beat - that reflected Kayleigh's happy bubbly personality. The lyrics of the song also reflects a lot of Kayleigh's opinions of people that were small minded and didn't think of other people and imposed their ideas without compromise.

Look inside, Look inside your tiny mind
And look a bit harder
Cuz we're so uninspired
So sick and tired of all the hatred you harbor

So you say, It's not okay to be gay
Well i think you're just evil
You're just some racist
Who cant tie my laces
You're point of view is medieval

Fuck you, Fuck you
Fuck you very very much
Cuz we hate what you do
And we hate you're whole crew
So please don't stay in touch
