A long life friend passed away this September 11, 2014. Into the mystic was the song played. I didn't know the musical line up of songs or speakers etc. when "Into The Mystic" began to play- I took out my cell phone out and began secretly recording the funeral. All I can say, this was one of the best songs I've ever heard playing at a funeral- gave me shivers.... I don't know meaning of the song- but the part of going HOME and not fearing it. Said so much to me.. I do believe it is a song of living life until death departure.
This funeral and my brothers funeral- had best songs ever played- my brothers song were "Wish you were here" and "Shine on you Crazy Diamond". Both By- Pink Floyd..

your comment is so moving to me. When my husband, who loved sailing, life and Van Morrison and had no fear of death, died last year, I could think of no more appropriate song to play at the ceremony than "into the mystic". I too believe it's about living life to the fullest and not fearing death. I also chose Wish you were here. Whenever I here these songs I want to cry but into the mystic is also comforting.
