Band of Horses - The Funeral [OFFICIAL VIDEO] 

My boyfriend had told me one day to play this song at his funeral while we were blasting music in the car as we always did. Never thought that time would come so soon. 20 years young. He passed away unexpectedly a 3 weeks ago. He was in the ICU for 4 days with no brain function. I sat with him all night and played music. Now I am making the video for his funeral and honoring him by putting this song in the video. Its hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember. Life is so fragile. Those moments together are irreplaceable.

If this song isn't played at my funeral I'm not dying.

This song isn't actually about a funeral or anyone dying. It's about the vocalist being sick of pretending to be excited about holidays and the pressures of what comes with holidays, such as buying presents, pretending to be happy to see family you only see on occasions. When asked about the lyrics to “The Funeral”, Ben Bridwell has explained that the song was about the special occasions in his own life, such as birthdays and Christmas. He laments the pressure to impress, to pretend that you’re excited, and to buy gifts. He compared the feeling he gets from these occasions to the feeling you get before attending a funeral; bleak and dreading the entire thing.

Every now and then I come back here to read the comments. The utmost respect and love for everyone sharing their personal experiences regarding addiction, death, grief and everything else. Your stories inspire others as it has inspired me.

This song is what headphones are made for.

" Lebenslanger schicksalsschatz is not something that develops over time. It is something that happens instantaneously. It courses through you like the water of a river after a storm, filling you and emptying you all at once. You feel it throughout your body, in your hands, in your heart, in your stomach, in your skin... Have you ever felt this way about someone...? "

I introduced my husband to this song and it became one of his favorites. He passed away of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Cancer on April 16th of this year. This song hits me so hard now. 😢

My baby brother, 25, died in October. We first heard this song 16 years ago when we were just 12 and 10 years old on the video game Skate. We played all the time. We both grew over the years to love Band of Horses. So thankful for the memories this song evokes and now the meaning it has.

Anyone here from Farhampton ....

It’s 2024 and this song still brings me to tears.

Who is still listening to this song in 2024? ✋

Lyrics I'm coming up only to hold you under And coming up only to show you're wrong And to know you is hard, we wonder To know you all wrong, we were Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Really too late to call, so we wait for Morning to wake you is all we got But to know me as hardly golden Is to know me all wrong, they were At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral At every occasion once more, it's called the funeral At every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral At every occasion of one billion day funeral I'm coming up only to you show you down for And coming up only to you show you're wrong To the outside, the dead leaves lay on the lawn 'Fore they died, and had trees to hang there upon Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral At every occasion once more, it's called the funeral At every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral At every occasion of one billion day funeral

This song gave me hope that one day I will make my dreams come true... today... im dreaming the life I wanted 5 years ago

“lebenslangerschicksalsschatz is not something that develops over time. it is something that happens instantaneously. it courses through you like the water of a river after a storm…filling you and emptying you all at once. you feel it throughout your body…in your hands…in your heart…in your stomach…in your skin…have you ever felt this way about someone? if you have to think about it, you have not felt it. everyone does eventually. you just never know when or where.”

I lost my beautiful sister 5/28/23 from Cancer. I’m forever heartbroken 💔 🥹 This song really got me in my feelings I can’t stop crying 😞

Music is our own personal therapist. I love sad songs because they allow me to flush the pipes and feel anew. Life just wouldn't be life without it.

hell yeah!!!

Here's Hoping everyone finds their Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz

I love how music can take you places beyond the physical plain to an almost totally new place that exists just between you and a song. Am I explaining that correct does anyone else feel that. Goosebumps and raw emotion

I showed my little brother this song years ago. He passed away. This song hits differently now. Painfully.

Who's crying watching this after watching How I Met Your Mother.. Thank you HIMYM for introducing this beautiful song to me !!

*To everyone listening to the song and reading the comments love you all and i wish you all find the one for you !!*

I just want to say, as long as I'm alive, I will do my best to enjoy everything. I'm just a lost soul wandering in this big, beautiful and mysterious world. I wish everyone the best in life. Humans tend to be around people. Never forget you will die alone and lonely in the end.

I can’t believe this song is 17 years old still feels like the first time I ever heard it each time I listen

My dog passed away on Dec 30th 2015 and I still cry about him I loved him so much I knew him for all of my life I miss him so much when I hear this song I think about him especially the beginning

My besftfiend died of an overdose a couple weeks ago and this was a good song we shared many memories too. Rest up Xavier🙏🙏

Mannaggia a te Zero. M'hai fatto piangere.

It doesn't matter where you heard this song first...lets just agree its fecking wonderful

This song gives me the calmness which i dont know how long I have been searching for❤️

I've never heard this song. I was looking at a YT short and my 27 y.o daughter heard the background music and said "oh man. I'm starting to tear up!" My daughter and I aren't close and this was a "moment". I appreciate that ❤️

My dad played this almost every day now that he's gone, I come here to listen to it myself I have lots of great memories with this song

My grandmother died yesterday afternoon...A few days back, I called her and she seemed so happy. She told me that she had the best life she could dream of, since I was born. I love her just so much...and I never tought it'd happen so fast. Make sure to always call your family and tell them how much you love them. Sadly you'll never now when this day will come...

My 8 month old puppy passed away last weekend unexpectedly. This song came on as we were laying her to rest in our garden. 😢

Its been 8 years now that my sister died after fighting 8 years with cancer. She was only 29 😢. This songs reminds me so much of her...

I had this played at my funeral

Heard this when I was 11. I'm 21 now and this is still Gold for me. :)

This is one of those songs that’ll let you feel solitude within while standing in a field with millions. Or the molecules. Maybe both.

My twin brother died unexpectedly in his sleep at 26. He was a healthy guy. No warning or anything. Don't know how I'll go on without him now.

I finally became closer to finding the one I truly loved... But I'll get to that.

2020 someone?? 🙃. 2021 we still listen never get old

dad liked this song... but today he left me... I'm sending you love❤️ We will miss u here 😭

Вчера у меня умер пёс , Далматин , зовут Дин . И не мог пропустить эту песню . Плачу и пишу . Не хватает его , от тишины я начинаю сходить с ума . Мне больно без него , никогда я не испытывал такой боли как сейчас . Он был одновременно умный и преданный дурачок , понимал меня так как будто читает мои мысли . Прощай друг , надеюсь мы встретимся там .

"Lebenslanger Schicksalsschatz" is not something that develops over time. It is something that happens instantaneously. It courses through you like the water of a river after a storm, filling you and emptying you all at once. You feel it throughout your body, in your hands, in your heart, in your stomach, in your skin... have you ever felt this way about someone?

This is one of those songs that clear you up from the inside... ...Farhampton...

I used to listen to this song with my father, he was my politics teacher when I was in high school.. I failed grade 10 3 times just so I could be in his class again.. I love him so much, now I’m gonna be a politician and legalize cancer treatments in Indonesia( he died of stage 4 penile cancer) I played this song at his funeral an hour ago .. rest in piece John.. I love you.

I miss you so much princess you’ll always mean everything to me and not a moment goes by i don’t think about you!!! if only you didn’t go out that night and had stayed home and that horrible man wouldn’t have hurt you! always in my heart and listening to this reminds me of our day last summer under the tree in the freezing cold rain all because you wanted that coffee 😂 times like this i was so great full to have you around rip baby ❤

If nostalgia were a song, this would be it. Gets me every time

This song used to make me sad, now it helps drive my focus as I restart my life.

It's my birthday today. I remember reading that this song is about birthdays and the insignificance of special occasions or something. I always felt sad on my birthday, so I relate.

A little ways down the road...

Zerocalcare's fan here

skate 1 will forever be in my heart

❤ wow. 17 lat tego nie słyszałam.. Dopiero tutaj trafiłam.

All songs used in HIMYM just get to me so much. It truly is the most emotional show I've ever watched. You get so easily attached to it because of that, which is also why it's so hard to get over the ending, the plot, simply the whole show... The show will always truly remain legendary!

Alice, ma la cicatrice quando passa? La cicatrice non passa, è come una medaglia che nessuno ti può portare via. Così quando Zeta è grande e ormai il principe non gli fa più paura, si ricorda che ha vissuto, che ha fatto tante avventure. Che è caduto e si è rialzato. Ma perché non passa? Perché è una cicatrice, se andava via con l’acqua era un trasferello. È una cosa che fa paura ma è anche una cosa bella: è la vita.

This song always reminds me of my friend (Dayton) and I playing skate for hrs and hrs when we were younger… rest in peace my friend, till next time :(

LYRICS : (English/Français) I'm coming up only to hold you under And coming up only to show you're wrong And to know you is hard, we wonder To know you all wrong, we were Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Really too late to call, so we wait for Morning to wake you is all we got But to know me as hardly golden Is to know me all wrong, they were At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral At every occasion once more, it's called the funeral At every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral At every occasion of one billion day funeral I'm coming up only to you show you down for And coming up only to you show you're wrong To the outside, the dead leaves lay on the lawn 'Fore they died, and had trees to hang there upon Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh PAROLES FRANÇAIS : Je viens seulement pour te mettre en terre Je viens seulement pour te dénigrer Et pour te connaître c'est dur et on demande A savoir tout le mal qu'on t'a fait Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Vraiment trop tard pour appeler alors on attend le Matin pour te réveiller, c'est tout ce qu'on a Pour me connaître un minimum Il faut savoir tout le mal qu'ils m'ont fait Et à chaque occasion je serai prêt pour les funérailles Et chaque occasion, une fois de plus, est appelée les funérailles A chaque occasion, je suis prêt pour les funérailles Et à chaque occasion, un superbe jour de funérailles Je viens seulement pour te montrer l'épreuve que c'est Je viens seulement pour te montrer l'injustice À l'extérieur Les feuilles mortes, elles sont vivantes Malgré qu'elles n'aient pas d'arbres pour accrocher leur cœurs... Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo

Just finished HIMYM, and I'm currently going thru all the best moments and Easter eggs, and came across this song which was the first sign of Tracy's death... The last episode wasn't the best, but the journey to it was Legend - wait for it - Dary (Dairy). I hope sometime in the future we get more insight to Ted and Tracy's marriage, because this was severely lacking in the show, and I know everyone would love to witness it. This sitcom made me believe that there is someone for everyone, and that means me too... And one day I hope to look back to me writing this and realize I really did find "the one" and rejoice. March 03, 2021.

No other sitcoms can beat this moment in HIMYM.

This song is so many things in one beautiful medley. Loss,heartbreak,hurt. I hope everyone here has someone special and listens to this with them and hugs them extra tight.

17 years ago.....WOW....

I ma here because of Zerocalcare

EA skate. brought me here miss those days.

It's just so fenomenal to recognize that sad songs really make a lot of People cry, just because of the melody... it can be explained in so many different ways... the one that catches me the most is because of my way to place that sensation on my memories or with something related to the people i love the most... thinking about losing them... never beeing able to hug tem again...

Every year I’m coming back and listen this song.

Definitely one of my new fav songs, dammit Ted Mosby!

Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz, where are you at?

Every time I play that song, my eyes get full of tears.

Can you believe it's been 17 years since this came out?

Man, it's so weird seeing "posted 10 years ago" under a video.

Is it possible just to be here because it's a good song and a good band?

I heard this song in the end of Tear Along The Dotted Line. Now it's stuck in my head forever.

Going to A friend's funeral today, this song popped into my head.

"lebenslangerschicksalsschatz is not something that develops over time. it is something that happens instantaneously. it courses through you like the water of a river after a storm…filling you and emptying you all at once. you feel it throughout your body…in your hands…in your heart…in your stomach…in your skin…have you ever felt this way about someone? if you have to think about it, you have not felt it. everyone does eventually. you just never know when or where."

Love this song! Here's the lyrics if anyone is wondering, like I was: I'm coming up only to hold you under I'm coming up only to show you wrong And to know you is hard, we wonder To know you all wrong, we warn Ooh, ooh Ooh... Really too late to call, so we wait for Morning to wake you, it's all we got To know me as hardly golden Is to know me all wrong, they warn At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral Every occasion once more It's called the funeral Every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral At every occasion of one-billion day funeral I'm coming up only to you show you down for I'm coming up only to you show you wrong To the outside, the dead leaves lay on the lawn Before they died, they had trees to hang their hope Ooh, ooh Ooh... At every occasion, I'll be ready for the funeral At every occasion once more, it's called the funeral At every occasion, oh, I'm ready for the funeral Every occasion of one-billion day funeral

My grandfather died three weeks ago, 2 days before Easter. We went through hard times together, as he was old and in his last months he was difficult. He argued a lot with my grandma, with my mother, my father, and even with me. He refused to respect his diet and to take the medicine. He even didn't allowed my mother leave home because he was affraid to remain alone. My mother started neglecting her health and this made me kind of hate him because I felt like my mother was fed up of everything and had a lot of panick attacks. In that night, I was watching him struggling to survive, still blaming his capacity to not listen to my mom and to respect the diet and the prescription. I remember the day before the funeral. I was sitting near his grave while the rain was pouring and crying. Still, every day I remember the acts of love I did to him, like sharing with him some kind of food he never heard of (because he was too old) like little pieces of hamburger, cheeseburger (because I was trying to help him respect the diet by having little treats). I have a lot of dreams with him almost every night and I wake up and cry. I still feel alone even if I have a lot of friends and a warm hearted boyfriend. I miss his stories, even if in the last Time i was as stressed with my graduation year, my paper as I neglected him. Sometimes, I just don t realise that he s gone.... And Sometimes I feel like he prays for me in heaven and talking in my head with him. Just, my piece of advice is to love your family members and try to listen to them and try to find every need hidden in their annoying behaviour.

Damn Gotham Knights put me back in here great song for sad times and overall mood changer!!!

Farhampton...

Listening to this while in quarantine makes me really depressed, i can't wait for this to be over and go out and live my life .. Meet new people, new experiences, travel, share many beers and laughs with friends.. You never know when your life will end

Nothing happened to me. Im just here for the song.

GIVE ME BACK MY 2011 AND MY BMX DRIVING IN SKATE PARK. GIVE ME BACK MY PARADISE. ❤️

This was my ringtone for my phone. I used it for caller ID for my immediate family. The week that my mother died, it was just nonstop. It felt so ironic and horrible to hear it playing as I was dressing for her funeral. 3 years later, i still love this song, and it's a part of that time for me. It will always hold meaning.

Came here for zero.... Masterpiece of song Masterpiece of series. Well done bro!

When this song describes all you feel this Christmas. Losing my soulmate, my beloved dog who saved my life, being stuck in a shit job with the wrong person - finally being able to realise all this and feeling less numb

Who is still listening to this tune in 2023

Came here because of HIMYM. Came back here because of the new Money Heist trailer. Both series are awesome.

The only thing i remember from my childhood is this song. Everytime my dad used to bring me to kindergarten in his Volvo, i used to ask him to play ”that funeral song” and he always did. I love you dad. R.I.P. 😔💔

My great grandmother just passed away on the 28th of April. We had never met and I had only seen her in pictures. She had always told my dad to bring me when he visited but I would tell my dad that I will only go when I am my own man and have something to show. Im 21 now and I had planned that this year surely I will visit 🇿🇼. What brings me pain is that I am the oldest (21) and the only boy out of 5 children. And I am the only one she never got to meet😔. She is being laid tomorrow and I will not be there for it😔. May Her Soul Rest In Peace. She was 91 years of age❤

Lost my grandparents who raised me last year and still haven't been the same. Depression cripples me at times and this song makes me think of all the good times and I cry. Life is too short so never take it for granted. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.

Farhampton

I met a guy through a dating app, we talked for quite a while, and got along with together; simply we started liking each other and enjoyed each other's company. We also used to share our favourite songs, and he introduced this song to me. It was beautiful, indeed. Long story short, the feeling got deeper, and we couldn't bear it. However, we then realised that it would not work longer since we lived in different parts of the world. The distance got us miserable. But guess, this song will stay in my playlist and the thought of the short memory I had with him will also remain along with the song. Miss you, Ab’ 🤗

1:11 that harmony is otherworldly. my god this song is so beautiful, masterpiece all the way through

_Of course, everyone does eventually. You just don't know when, or where._ And he was right, unfortunately the when of it was still a little way down the road.. *_But the where of it?_* 1:20

There are so many good people with sad stories here, it tears me up inside! Long life and eternal love to everyone !

This song will always have special place in my heart❤️‍🩹

Why does it matter how someone finds a song? We keep treating each other like shit because some people think they're better because they didn't come from a TV show. Some people say their great taste in music brought them here, but honestly, the fact you put in effort to finding the song after seeing in on TV, doesn't that already prove you have good taste? How I Met Your Mother, Criminal Minds, whatever, it doesn't matter, what does matter is 18,433,822 people have been lucky enough to find this epic piece of music.
