Discussion What musical theme do you associate with death / suicide?

[Spinoza]

What musical theme do you associate with suicide? I have a huge curiosity to know since I have a playlist to listen to on the last day.
My music is by The smiths- Asleep.

 

[Mr2005]

Mozarts requiem

 

[faust]

I love the words here.

 

[Yomyom]

So many songs of Florence can have a mean of suicide

 

[sad_thranduil]

 

[Cutepoison]

Billie Eilish. I discovered her recently, and have added couple of her songs to my bye-bye playlist

 

[2nd Zed]

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Lux Aeterna (Requiem for A Dream). It sounds apocalyptical. The end of everything. I love it.


And this one too (the video has suicide scenes)


And this is the song that makes people to ctb

 

[hunthunt]

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Billie Eilish. I discovered her recently, and have added couple of her songs to my bye-bye playlist

I also have a bye bye playlist. Last songs I want to listen to.

If anybody watched Lost they know the theme of the show is literally Life and Death.. they play this during both celebratory times and the deaths. It's so beautiful! I love this piece.

Edit: Michael Giacchino did a wonderful job on the score for this whole show imo it's perfect

I have a 5 hour CD with music from mainly Mega Man games for my trip to the other side of Germany. Especially from the Battle Network series. Any variant of "Feeling Sadness" is pretty fitting and in my final moments I would like to listen to "Chain of Wish".

 

[Nogodallchaos]

I feel so bad I can't even listen to music anymore, just wanna die.

 

[BipolarExpat]

 

[tom90]

Hans Zimmer-Time; my favorite
And I don't know why, but also Ludovico Einaudi-Una Mattina

And maybe Lux Aeterna; I love this one, but just seems to fast.

Billie Eilish. I discovered her recently, and have added couple of her songs to my bye-bye playlist

Probably "Everything I wanted" is nr1 on playlist?

If I may add the song who is nr.1 on my list; Amber Run-fickle game
And I also love "Scared to be lonely (acoustic version)

 

[Steamm]

this song makes me feel so empty and suicidal...

 

[Kassender]

This one is pretty obvious lyrically.

Its also one of their heaviest songs

I will listen to my funeral song as my coffin is getting lowered,

 

[BipolarExpat]

 

[Moonomyth]

Mostly Yakety Sax

 

[josainsplorgat]

i got a lot of marilyn manson on my end of the rope list, lyrically they might not be on point, but the vibe is. here's a couple:

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

This is excellent. I read that brompton cocktail is a drink given to terminally-ill patients.

 

[oneofthoseyoudontwan]

 

[a.n.kirillov]

This is the earliest musical piece I remember from childhood and it touches me so deeply... Maybe my mom played it to me while she was pregnant? I don't know but it's so ingrained in me it has a different quality than any other piece of music I ever heard.
.

So I guess I will make it come full circle and listen to this on my way out.

 

[Mr. ‘K so?]

Something like this. I heard the bit where vocals come in in my dreams for a week.
