As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for life imitating art, I find myself deeply resonating with Keith Richards’ choice of “Tumbling Dice” as his funeral song. Having spent countless hours immersed in virtual worlds, navigating through obstacles and making tough decisions, I can’t help but draw parallels between the freedom embodied in the song and the spirit of adventure that gaming instills within us.
At some point in life, we all must take our leave. If you find this information surprising, which I’m assuming you don’t, then let me apologize. However, as music enthusiasts, I’m guessing you’ve pondered this question: “What tunes should play when my funeral procession marches on?”
In this final opportunity we have to be together, consider sharing the music that deeply resonates with you. Since death offers us just one chance to depart gracefully according to life’s terms, it seems fitting to make those around us happy as we take our leave.
The question was proposed to iconic Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards in an interview with GQ far back in 2008. His answer was “Tumbling Dice,” a track of gambling and love. The track is nearly perfect with Mick Jagger’s vocals being among his best ever and Richards riffing away only like he can.
Keith Richards has one Rolling Stones song he wants played at his funeral
Richard expressed that the song “Tumbling Dice” encapsulates his personal life perspective. Lyrics wise, it symbolizes a spirit of liberty, not being bound or restrained. It’s not about avoiding love, but rather maintaining autonomy over one’s feelings should love arise.
Richard’s free-spirited nature is one reason fans are attracted to the Rolling Stones. After all, it’s hard to predict their next move, but they always manage to keep their fan base engaged. There’s a touch of their ’60s sound in their current music, yet they continue to be original.
Since “Tumbling Dice” embodies Richard’s perspective on life, it seems fitting that this would be the song he chooses to leave us with at his farewell. It’s probably safe to assume he made this choice with a wink and a smile. When asked about the selection of the tune for his funeral, he replied, “I hope so. As long as I’m not there.”
