Hinkleyhadavision’s Funeral Songs

By Hinkleyhadavision


Below are some songs for my funeral. 


SteelDrivers, “Where Rainbows Never Die.”


To remind folks to hold onto their loved ones because time is short:

Iron and Wine, “Naked as We Came.”  

Jason Isabell, “If We Were Vampires.” 


To remember the fucking beauty: 

Steve Earle, “Me and the Eagle.”


To remind folks the struggle for a better world never ends: 

New Model Army, “Higher Wall.” 

Joseph, “Burn the White Flag” (NPR Tiny Desk Version). 


Because there is no god:

Me, “Bury Me with No Prayers.” 

It may seem pretentious to put in your own song on the list for your funeral, but I wrote this song for this reason: to make sure there would be no prayers at my funeral.
