00:00Well, I'm a Christian, so I go to a church, and I've got so many songs,
00:06the difficulty is going to be leaving some out.
00:10So, yeah, there's one that's used a lot in our church,
00:15in Christ Alone, My Hope is Found, so that seems appropriate to a funeral, I guess.
00:19Off the top of my head, no, but...
00:24I can't, no, I've got them, but I can't think off the top of my head at the moment.
00:28Would you like, kind of, happier songs, or...?
00:30Yeah, happier songs, yeah, nothing sad and down, you know what I mean?
00:34I had a friend two years ago whose aunt and you died,
00:37and then he had a song, like, at his funeral,
00:40and I think that sticks with you, then,
00:41and then every time you hear that one song,
00:43it equates to, like, you remember that one person.
00:46So, yeah, I think...
00:48I don't know, I'd have to have a good think on what I would want at my own funeral.
00:51You're an amazing greeter at my funeral.
00:56I don't know, I like a bit of Lionel Richie!
