Discussion The last 3 songs you will listen to

[AngeloftheMorning]

I was wondering if y'all had made a music playlist for your last hour(s). If you could pick 3 songs to finish out your time, which would they be and why? Is it a feeling it invokes? A memory? A mood? My last songs are not depressing but more reflective; don't want to feel sad when I go!

1. "Real Love" - Regina Spektor (cover of John Lennon song); I love how calm and dreamy this song is and it seems like a great song to fall asleep to.
2. "Bed Peace" - Jhene Aiko; another calm, dreamy song.
3. "Time After Time" - Iron and Wine (cover of Cyndi Lauper)

Here's a suggested format; y'all can make it your own though <3
1. song name (link) - artist; reason why (if you want)
2. song name (link) - artist; reason why
3. song name (link) - artist; reason why

1. Belinda Carlisle - Heaven is a place on Earth
(once you saw it in BM, you can't untangle it from the idea of artificially-created cloud-based afterlife)



2. Holly Johnson - Feel Good
(it's just a nice soothing tune from the 80s with good lyrics)



3. Doro Pesch - I'll be holding on
(there's no official video, disregard the cheesy slideshow, but the song is great)




4. Enigma - I Love you... I'll kill you



By the way, how to post links only and hide the Youtube previews?



Keep on posting, friends!

If I were to listen to something it would probably be something like this

Never heard "I'll be holding on" but nice song, thanks for posting

I used to have a pretty solid idea of what I wanted to listen to when I die but due to a pretty strong feeling of disconnection now it's hard to choose, maybe this just so I know how big of a joke my life was even when I'm dying:

or some other generic pop music

Edit: @OP, Jhene Aiko is a good choice too

This will surely be my last one, IDK about the other two.

if your profile picture is the last thing I think of before I die then I'm going to come back and haunt you hard

This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren
It's a very sad but beautifully sung song, Liz Frazer's voice is so emotional.......

Wendy and Lisa - The Life
Another beautiful song

The Smiths - Asleep
Always loved this

 

[Aponia & Ataraxia]

My personal Aokigahara ft. John Denver (decided to go for the gold after all, September's full moon):

 

[PatKat]

I am going to listen to these 3 songs in order before I end.

Our Last Night - Sunrise


Famous Last Words - The Show Must Go On


Linkin Park - In the End

 

[LordMassenmord]

1. TheLazyProject - Emotions

2. Alec Benjamin - The Boy in the Bubble

3. 9 Tails - September

 

[thetwilightzone]

Sting - If I Ever Lose My Faith In You (Instrumental)



Phil Collins - One More Night



Hamlet - 'To Be' Speech

 

[Larez]

Ben Howard - Oats in the Water - I generally gather a feeling of going into the great unknown with this song. It had accompanied me during some of the worst mornings or most dreadful/embarrassing nights

The National - Sorrow - what more needs to be said? Give it a listen and you will get the gist of it. I guess it was the very first song I have ever heard from this band and for the past 3 years they are my absolute Top 1. Sorrow was almost always on my playlist during my absolute lows...

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross - What if we could - absolutely visceral in its melancholy. It would be the perfect song to let go with...

 

[Battered_Seoul]

Roxy Music- More Than This

Soaring, crooning vocals. Graceful, melancholic melody. Perfect.

Idlewild- El Capitan

Beautiful, understated lament to an exhausted life.

The Smiths- Asleep

Now, we are into the serious business. No subtlety to the meaning here, but it feels appropriate.

ahhhhh, music :)

1, The biggest lie - Elliot smith () - I'm planning on listening to the whole album actually , I just like how calm it gets me ,

2, Old pine - Ben Howard () - My love for guitars is responsible for this one ( beautiful guitar picking) , I've always wanted to learn the pattern , yet could never come to actually sit down with it. maybe I would play a bit before the Carbon monoxide deprives my cells from oxygen. :)

3, "lingerish yehoden awetiche" ( ) - by Tilahun Gessesse - He was an Ethiopian singer regarded as the most popular of the country's "Golden Age" in the 1960s. I was actually born 27 years after that, but I just love the lyrics. (it's amharic)
