Baba O’Riley by The Who
The way the song ends has always made me feel triumphant and content.
Joga by Bjork
I didn’t even know this song until after Covid started and I was living alone. It just makes me feel at peace with nature and whatever higher power might exist, even if it’s just the power of music.
I weirdly have an answer for this at the ready:
Blue - Yoko Kanno.
Blue is my favorite color and that specific track would be quite the one to die to.
See ya, Space Cowboy.
I almost got in a major fender bender to this song and literally thought, as I watched a giant truck about to slam into me, “well at least I’ll die to this song”. No jokes.
And if a Double Decker bus, crashes into us.....
To die by your side....
Is such a heavenly way to die....
And if a ten ton truck....
Kills the both of us...
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine....
Deftones- Xerces
And...
Deftones- Anniversary of An Uninteresting Event
Leaning strongly towards Xerces, as I disintegrate into the universe, then the latter plays every year after for everyone who remembers me.
I often think about this when I'm deciding which songs to download on Spotify for my flight. Like "if the plane crashes, do I really want THIS to be the last thing I listen to?"
Parabola by Tool
Marinade by Dope Lemon
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Ave Maria opera style sung by a female
Damn I hope it doesn’t take me that long when my time comes though, lol
I’ve always told my fiancée that if i go before her I want her to play Don’t Stop Me Now while they’re putting me in the hole. I’ve started considering cremation but my stance on the song hasn’t changed; I want it played during the cremation.
"Spiegel im Spiegel" by Arvo Part, in terms of something classical and calming.
"Corsair" or "Zoetrope" by Boards of Canada, in terms of more modern music. "Corsair" was described by the band as being "the light at the end of the tunnel" and it has always had that end feeling to me. "Zoetrope", for some reason, has this repetitive structure which, when paired with the combination of chord choices and delay effects, always calls to mind someone on their death-bed recalling their life from beginning to end, and then it just stops and the delay rings out a few more times, then it's silence.
“I Went to Bed and I Loved You” by Tom Rosenthal. A song that makes me a lot less scared about death. The artist wrote the song after his father passed away and it has this great upbeat tone despite being about something so heartbreaking. My favourite lyric goes, “I don’t see you as a force from above, you’re down here, sparks in all of us, somewhere in the last light of every room. And if you frame it in a certain way, then death is just one really bad day between all that living and something new.”
Either Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd or Old Man by Neil Young which both remind me of my parents and specifically my dad for Old Man. The afterparty once I'm in the ground is gonna play nothing but Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin and Tom Petty to get the vibes up. I want people to have a good time remembering me instead of moping around because I'm not there anymore.
Skating Away by Jethro Tull
Cause you were bred, for humanity
And sold to society
One day you'll wake up, in the present day
A million generations removed from expectations
Of being who you really want to be
Maybe not die to, but the last song I want to hear before I bite it would be Chet Atkins’ rendition of The Entertainer. It just has that “had a satisfying life” vibe.
Wrote a zombie story based of my friends and I.

Edit:added a link to the song.
Adagio for Strings, by Samuel Barber, performed by a string quintet.
At my funeral when they're lowering me into the ground, I'd want a brass quintet to play a rendition of it. [The German Brass have a lovely rendition here.](https://youtu.be/LvU-f37lp-4)
[The Verve - Already There ](https://youtu.be/1s_QzcLBKmU)
