10. Ricardo Villalobos selected ‘Caramba, Yo Soy Dueno del Baron?’ by Inti Illimani I chose a piece by my favourite folklore band as the melancholies, tradition, pride and fortune of this track creates a mixture that directly connects to the person I have become. It can either be interpreted as melancholic or joyful.

Ha, this is like half of Chilean folk music.

No wait, if Ewan Pearson gets the Peggy Lee version of Is That All There Is?, then I want the Cristina version.

So I've been tasked with finding specific tracks for a friend's relative's funeral, and I'm stuck on a couple of them. They are:
Claude Leveillée, “Emmene moi”.José Feliciano, “Ain’t No Sunshine”. José Feliciano, “Envidia”.
If anyone has one of these lying around, could you kindly share it? It would be a huge help.

Surprisingly hard to find, these. Envidia -> only ever done on TV & on youtube?

thanks a ton Stan, and yes, they are bloody tricky. Luckily the rest are mostly hits / easy to find.

Envidia: if you can record audio, then maybe record that youtube video or the studio version (vinyl rip) streaming here : http://melomanoincurable.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/679/ ?

I can record audio, so that's perfect, thanks. I'd prefer not to use YouTube rips but I might not have an alternative in some cases.

Best take that one, that vinyl rip sounds pretty awful :-/

Still looking for that third one, will try again tomorrow if you've got the time & nobody else found it for you.

3 songs had to be chosen for my wifes funeral last week.in the end after a lot of soul searching (my wife refused to enter into any discussion re her funeral ) i chose :
entrance : 'riders of the storm' : the doors (my wifes fave band)contemplative : 'you made me so very happy' : lou rawls/david axelrod (from me to her .. )leave'em smiling exit : 'blitzkrieg pop' : the ramones (my wifes fave band #2, and her fave glass of red wine track)
unexpectedly several people came up to me after and commented on the excellent music.however, what really surprised me was when folks asked me what the music was, i answered 'the second track ?', expecting it to be the lou rawls track that would instigate interest, to which the response was 'no no, the entrance music'tough crowd.so, now all i have to do is figure out my 3 choices, cos knowing my kids they'll all be absolute shyte, and i aint having that ..

ta.i would have liked to have gone a little more leftfield as my wife would have loved the shock value of the sex pistols and ministry, but after a lot of umm'ing and arggh'ing, i decided to compromise.seemed to have worked.

your post literally brought a tear to my eye mark. great choices. so sorry for your loss.
it made me rethink my attitude to music at funerals too. whenever asked i always say i want 'agadoo' by black lace as i won't be there and it amuses me (in advance) that my friends will have to endure 4 minutes of musical hell but i think i need to have a slight maturity reappraisal.

Glad your choices went down well Mark. Thank god for music eh?

indeed nickb.
thank whatever deity one believes in (or otherwise), as it became very clear that music cuts through so many layers of unspoken emotions.

Van der Graaf Generator, "Childlike Faith in Childhood's End":
"And though dark is the highway,and the peak's distance breaks my heart,for I never shall see it, still I play my part,believing that what waits for usis the cosmos compared to the dust of the past.In the death of mere humans life shall start!"
