What song would you want to die to?

[zff]

Let's say you're driving alone on a deserted road, a tire blows out, and you get into a horrible crash. You're pinned in the wreck -- alive, conscious and in no pain -- but your injuries are fatal and you have 2 or 3 minutes before you black out and die. Your car is a total wreck, but somehow, the stereo is still working and you can choose one song to listen to as the world around you slips into darkness.

What song would you choose?

[1stwahine]

Earth to Mars ~ Hello!!!!

Totally MORBID!:eek:

Whatever's. I'll play..."That's Life!":p

Auntie Lynn

[Leo Lakio]

"We Gotta Get Outta This Place":rolleyes:

[tutusue]

The Caz's version of "Aloha Oe"...

[Hellbent]

I know someones going to pick Sinatra

or maybe
Yakkety Sax =p

[nachodaddy]

Morbid brings me out of the woodwork..............

One of these three............totally depends on the moment and where I am at in this abbreviated and accelerated grieving process.

Touched by VAST. So I can recollect what I have lived and who I lived it with.

Ready to Go by Republica. To get my focus off the rearview mirrors and on the road ahead.

Perfect Day by The Sheila Devine. Because in a very short time I will sitting on a DOH A frame with a bucket of Coronas bobbing next to me. Also, I am sporting dreds, always wanted dreds. :)

[tikiyaki]

Sick question, but here goes.

Right at this moment, I'm thinking "The Last Days of Summer" by the Blue Hawaiians. A beautiful, lilting instrumental which just gives me chicken skin, and puts me in a totally relaxed state. Reminds me of Hawaii, the ocean, the shoreline...peace.

I don't think I'd want anything with words, singing something poignant or meaningful to make me think about life, just something to lull me to sleep.

[zff]

Earth to Mars ~ Hello!!!!

Totally MORBID!:eek: :) Yeah, it's morbid, but I think it's an interesting question.

Imagine how dreadful it would be if a Weird Al song came on the radio as you were dying. I find Weird Al entertaining and all, but I certainly wouldn't want one of his songs to be the last thing I ever heard.

Me, I'd probably pick "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. Here it is played on a slightly-out-of-tune grand piano:

[lavagal]

"In the Light," by Led Zeppelin (1975 Physical Graffiti).

Just popped into my head.

[1stwahine]

:) Yeah, it's morbid, but I think it's an interesting question.


K-den....I change my song to dis one.

"Take this job and shove it, I ain't working hea no moa!" :p

[Vanguard]

Religious music aside -- "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen -- LOL :P

[tikiyaki]

"In the Light," by Led Zeppelin (1975 Physical Graffiti).

Just popped into my head.

Oooh....LavaGal, throw out an obscure one from my absoulte favorite album side of Led Zeppelin. You're my hero for that one :-)
If that was in the CD player in this scenario I'd choose "Ten Years Gone", but they're both equally brilliant.

[blueyecicle]

Wherever I may Roam~ Metallica....no ifs ands or butts for me.

[jdub]

Yep, quite morbid. "Machine Gun" by Hendrix/Band of Gypsies.

[lavagal]

Oooh....LavaGal, throw out an obscure one from my absoulte favorite album side of Led Zeppelin. You're my hero for that one :-)

DUDE! I can't get it outta my head now! I have to make myself a philly cheesesteak to distract myself! (late lunch here in Hawaii Kai!)

[buzz1941]

Me, I'd probably pick "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd.

Exactly my choice.

[Leo Lakio]

"We Gotta Get Outta This Place":rolleyes:Ok, for real this time - "The Lark Ascending" by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
(Yes, I loves me some rock, but if this is gonna be the final sound in my ears...)

[YoungNeil]

Who Knows Where The Time Goes by Fairport Convention.

Or Love and Mercy by Brian Wilson.

[lavagal]

With a handle like YoungNeil, I was expecting something like "The Needle and the Damage Done," DUDE!

[mediababy67]

"Naive Melody (This Must Be The Place)" by Talking Heads

[Cameron]

Ennio Morricone - The Ecstasy of Gold, - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ3u3fTG70Q

better known as the song from the end of the good the bad and the ugly, and no I don't want the Metallica version.

alternatively Johnny Cashs - Ghost Rider in the Sky

[achow]

These are the songs that I would want to die to:



In This Life- Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Kalale'a- Keali'i Blaisdell
In My Life- Keali'i Reichel

[Paul Ogata]

How about "Mmm... Bop" by Hanson? That would make the last 3 minutes seem like forever!


Mmm bop, ba du ba dop, Ba du ba dop, Du be du ba du be dop, Du be dop, ah, doo. Yeah!

<looks at watch>

In an mmmbop they're gone. In an mmmbop they're not there. In an mmmbop they're gone. In an mmmbop they're not there

<looks at watch again>

Can you tell me? No ya can't cuz' ya don't know. Can you tell me? You say you can, but you don't know.

<stabs self in neck with emergency brake lever>

[craigwatanabe]

Another one bites the dust HEY HEY and another one gone...hey I'm gonna sit by you another one rides the bus!

Oops Sorry Weird Al:D

[Pedro]

as for fatal car crashes Hole in my soul by Aerosmith..... "Is it over? Is it over?" but for when my funeral commences;lets see umm... how about silence..? that's supposing anyone shows up to my funeral....:D

[mel]

"Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult.

[Hellbent]

wow, i want to add comfortably numb and dont fear the reaper too! also that moody blues song 'your wildest dreams' for some reason. it might make a good soundtrack for a flashback sequence =p

[tikiyaki]

"Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult.

What an amazing song. Even more amazing is that it became a hit single, being that the lyrics are about a teen suicide pact.

[scrivener]

What a great topic.

I'm going with "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. And if the DJ doesn't have that, how about "James Dean" by the Eagles?

[jdub]

I've reconsidered. I'm going to go with "Bron-Yr-Aur" by Led Zepplin.

[Pua'i Mana'o]

Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
~Motley Crue

(cranked up really, really loud)

[Leo Lakio]

I've reconsidered. I'm going to go with "Bron-Yr-Aur" by Led Zepplin.My brother used that song to teach me the concept of open tuning on a guitar when I was a kid; it's been my favorite Zep ever since.

[1stwahine]

Today's selection is "Heaven Can Wait" by Meat Loaf.

Wat? I can...I'm Bi-polar. Remember!:p

HAHAHAHAH

Auntie Lynn:D

[Fat Jeff]

Well, if I'm in a nice comfortable place I'd like to "sky up" to the Beatles "A Day In The Life". And with some timing, I could take my final breath as that last big piano chord fades away.

If I'm in a snotty mood and not ready to go...then it's "Auf Wiedersehn" by Cheap Trick

Au revoir, auf wiedersehen
You wont see another morning
You wont see another evening
Good night
Buenos noches o senor
Senorita see ya later
Buenos noches bye-bye
There are many here among us
You feel that life is a joke
And for you we sing this final song
For you there is no hope
Sayonara oh suicide hari kari
Kamikaze you wont
See another evening
Goodbye
Bye-bye so long, farewell
See you later....(etc)

[akrauth]

In This Life - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Saving Forever - Na Leo Pilimehana
My Imortal - Evanescence
Aloha 'Oe

[nikki]

"I'll Be Seeing You"

[Tony_K]

"It is the end" Kim, Dong-Kyu

[Keith H.]

If I had my way, I'd have the soundtrack to Les Miserables in the CD player. There were quite a few death scenes in that musical, but the one I'd like to go out on is the finale (when Jean Valjean is escorted to heaven):

They will live again in freedom
In the garden of the Lord.
They will walk behind the plowshare,
They will put away the sword,
The chain will be broken
And all men will have their reward!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!

[1stwahine]

I've been busy. Cybil reminded me.heheheh

Today's selection: Desperado!:p

Auntie Lynn

[makepagirl]

hmmm .. in the mystic - van morrison

In the end - Linkin Park

If I was in a sarcastic mood... "Trapped in a drive thru" or "Albuquerque" by Weird Al (yeah, try to fit those songs in 3 minutes) :D
