The Funeral
Band of Horses Lyrics
I'm comin' up only to hold you under
And comin' up only to show you're wrong
And to know you is hard, we wonder
To know you all wrong, we won
Ooh
Ooh
Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you, is all we got
Is to know me all wrong, they warn
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, oh, one billion day funeral
I'm comin' up only to show you down for
And comin' up only to show you're wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves lay on the lawn
For they don't have trees to hang upon
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, oh, one billion day funeral

An earlier version of the song appeared on the band's self-titled EP, under the name 'Billion Day Funeral'. The heavy subject meaning behind the song's lyrics relate to the multiple abortions that various girlfriends of singer Ben Bridwell had to receive during his years living in Seattle.
The Music Video for The Funeral seems to tell the story of a man whose dog has died, and saddened by this he drowns his sorrow in alcohol. Afterwards he drives under the influence and the end of the music video seems to suggest he crashes head on into another vehicle. Based on the style other cars and the elevated railroad overhead, the video appears to be set in 1970s New York or Chicago (more likely the latter as one scene in the video shows a sign for the Galway Bay Bar, an Irish pub located in the Lincoln Park neighbourhood).

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.

He is still driving that car over the rainbow bridge, you’ll see him again one day and pick up where you left off.
Live your life, do the things you want have no regrets, be soulful, humble and happy. Life is way too short.
