What song would you like to die listening to?

My answer has to be "Annie Lennox" "Into The West". Its in my will that IT be played at my funeral.

 

Anything by "The Cars". They must be the lamest, dumbest, most idiotic group producing some of the worst music to get radio play in popular music. As long as I'm checking out, I might as well have a good reason to accelerate my departure.

In which case my last words would be: "Ah shit...I'm outta here!"

 

I second that... either 'time' or the byrds 'mr. tambourine man'

 

I'd die listening to Progenies of the Great Apocolypse by Dimmu Borgir. That'd be sweet.

Or maybe anything by Porcupine Tree.

 

"Another One Bites The Dust" -

 

Peace Train by Cat Stevens

 

By Nine Inch Nails

Or possibly "Tree With No Leaves (Song Without Words)" by C.S.N

 

Good thread idea! Kinda depressing, but cool.

I liked a lot of everyone's picks, especially the Cat Stevens and Pink Floyd (and yeah, "us and them" is a really moving song). But DMB's "Two Step" has always had that 'sweet sadness' feel to it for me, it would have to be what I'd want to listen to, being one of my favorite songs and somewhat relevent...and it'd have to be a live version for the jams.

Two Step
Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
Love, you drive me to distraction

Hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,
our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down

Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
These things we cannot change

Hey, my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and love,you quench my mind

Celebrate we will
Because life is short but
sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
The things we cannot

Celebrate, you and me, climbing two by two, to be sure
these days continue, things we cannot change

Oh, my love I came to you
with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me
just what I'm seeking

Celebrate we will
Because life is short
but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change...
Things we cannot change

 

Absolutely without question I would want to listen to "Stairway to Heaven" while I was dying.

Truckin or Dire Wolf...

 

The Prince song...Purple Rain

 

all good choices i must say

"In My Grave" by Choking Victim

All the times that were good or bad, and the thought of a future that I never had.
With the promise of heaven, and the threat of a hell... A reality I did dwell.
And I did thrive on apathy, and ignorance taught me the way it should be.
All along, all the lies I was fed, would reassure I'd rather be dead.

All will die with thier memories, little lives of misery.
Thirst for power = starve for pain. All your money goes down the drain.
Like your life in your grave, none of the power or the money is saved.
And you will die in your pain, as all of it goes down the drain.

Now I'm dead to no dismay, my body reeks, my flesh decays!
All is gone now, the hate and the pain, reality down the drain.
And I will rot in my grave, and I will see that nobody is saved.
All is gone now, the hate and the pain, all of it, gone down the drain.

In my grave... no one's saved... no more pain... in my grave.

 

Beastie boys - instant death.

now i know you are thinking: "a Beastie Boys song to die to?"
But, hey, listen to it first.

 

"she talks to angels" by black crowes

she never mentions the word addiction.....in certain company

 

"Queen Jane Approximately" - Bob Dylan

My, I can't think about that really, there's too many to pick.

 

Real Mccoy... I just died in your arms tonite

 

I don't know, may be Magna Carta - Lord of the ages. It's 15 minutes long, it's calm, but halfway it is gonna swing as well.

'And so the lord of the ages ...gathered in his harvest.'
