I'd still stick with Spike Jones as above or any groovy, swinging edition of "Hit the road, Jack ". |
|
another addition:
Pastor TJ Burnett & the Children for Christ Choir: "like a ship (without a sail)" ----remarkably uplifting, funky christian music, great choral arrangments. fantastic cut if you've never heard it (and i hate christian music generally, but this is more like christian music meets opera conducted by James Brown). |
Trance inducing sounds intriguing; I might put it on my "death list". |
If I wanted to go the way of the dark pagan spirits, Sunn 0)))
Plumbs the depths of the bass frequencies. Trance inducing stuff. |
For burial ritual I would choose Miles Davis - Pangaea -. |
I just read that there's a genre "Deathcore" perhaps some suitable selections. After the burial, isnt half bad at all |
Gkella, interesting idea. And following this approach I would choose..how about..I don't really hate anything. |
It would have to be something I hate so my time would seem slower..kind of like torture.
Maybe something from the ABBA collection.

Fields of the Nephilim- Love Under Will. |
Lil Wing, Hendrix.
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Budapest Chamber Orchestra.
Human Nature, Miles Davis
Round Midnight, Monk
Kind Woman, Buffalo Springfield |
Sure we can. We will all be dead soon enough and nothing of us will be left. So let's enjoy the music while we are still alive! |
Metallica's Fade to Black |
Mozart K.618 Ave Verum Corpus. It's short, appropriate and simply beautiful. |
Ummmmm....can we not turn this into a discussion on religious/metaphysical nonsense. Let's keep it on music please. |
I'll add one more to my original list, if I'm still around--Morten Lauridsen's Lux Aeterna. |
Not into nothingness - into another plane of existence. We are in essence immortal. The proof? Delve into your unconscious and you will know. |
Well, as I have a trashed heart and need a transplant, I've actually given this some serious thought. My choice will be 'Master and Margherita' by Ennio Morricone. Can't imagine a more beautiful piece of music to fade into nothingness to. :-) |
I mis-spelled the group "Tuatara". They have an album with a cut titled "Orpheus Must Die". I strongly beg to differ. The name of the CD is "East of the Sun". I will give it a listen. |
|
Something that would put me to sleep. |
Tuatera, "Breaking the Ethers", has anyone ever heard of "Tuatera"? They are my new groove. |
Doesn't the correct answer depend on whether one wishes to ease or aggravate or speed or slow dying?
|
Thank You For Letting Me Be Myself Again. |
It is the best guitar album period!
However it is a digital recording and quite old, so I have it on Japanese red label mastersound CD. |
Inna, you will love Passion, Grace & Fire. The LP I have features John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, and Paco De Lucia. It is the best guitar album in my collection
Enjoy the music. |
Mahler 3, last movement. Very consoling music, I feel. |
Pink Floyd's
"The Great Gig In The Sky" |
|
You were wrong. And there is at least one more - John McLaughlin himself. I read interviews with him. |
|
I thought I was the only person on the planet who liked "Visions of the Emerald Beyond" |
U2: in a little while. that's what joey ramone listened to when he died. |
|
|
Ralph Vaughan Williams-Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
Felix Mendelssohn-Fingals Cave (Hebrides Overture) |
No one for "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"? |
Deodato's 'Pavane for a dead princess', or Jim Hall's 'Concierto de Aranjuez' which some have dubbed as quite possibly the finest piece of music ever written.
I wonder if anyone here has ever listened to either one of these pieces? |
Queen's "another one bites the dust" |
|
Turn out the lights and listen to Paul Simon's "Quiet," it's the last track off the "You're the One" album and you'll have your answer. It's not necessarily a favorite, and certainly not widely known, but if it's a soundtrack for your departure that you seek, this one comes pretty close to being it.
But the audiophile Grim Reaper can't take me yet- my new Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun cables are on order but haven't been delivered yet. I'd be so embarassed to die listening to my current cables that I could just- well you know, die! |
|
HAHAHA... good one Viridian : ) Sean
> |
What about music to die from? I'm thinking anything from Kenny G here. |
Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" |
KIRI TE KANAWA SINGING STRAUSS 'FOUR LAST SONGS'. |
"We Bid You Goodnight", the Grateful Dead live! |
|
|
If I die feeling sorry for myself, I'll have Allen Toussaint's mournful "Cruel Way To Go Down" (from Southern Night). I liked Garfish's Ry Cooder suggestion. If I'm feeling more hopeful, I'll gracefully slide out on Cooder's "Think It's Going To Work Out Fine" (Bop Till You Drop). Great topic! |
"Time to Die" by Gary Numan |
Metallica covering 'I did it my way'
(with san francisco symphony of course) |
