What will your final song be?

[Alpha_Draco_Pegasus]

If and when you finally get around to suicide, what song would you want to apply to the event, either practically or ideally?

It can be a song that people actually play at your funeral, a song you imagine playing at your fantasy funeral, or a song that would go along with your death as if it were a music video.

When I first planned and nearly attempted suicide at age 17, I made a CD compilation which I brought with me in a backpack to the park I wanted to hang myself in. I'm not going to do that next time I don't think. I don't think people who find me are going to share the connection I have to the music I've chosen.

Also I don't think I'd choose a song anymore. I wouldn't write a note either. Sorry guys, I've no creativity left! I'm passing that on to all of you!

EDIT: I wouldn't want this to be THE song, but just to bring something to the table: Colin Newman - Alone (1980) was a popular song among myself during my melancholic-suicidal teenage years.

Billie eilish all her songs

 

[Dead beat dad]

Europe. The Final Countdown

 

[ProhibereDolor]

Good question. Haven't thought of one. But having seen this question I'm definitely going to find one.

 

[Tortured_empath]

 

[Empty Smile]

Or some other songs from Pink Floyd.

 

[The Hunter]

 

[Alpha_Draco_Pegasus]

It can also be the last song you'd listen to. Mine was Children of Bodom - Northern Comfort (2000). I made this YouTube video recently of an extended excerpt of the song.

[Morphinekiss]

probably the last song I'll listen to. I'm not sure why but every time I think about the end, this is the song I hear.

 

[Scribble Fan]

I feel like this would be a good song to finally fail and die to.




Wow, the feels... Thanks for sharing that song.

One way ticket

Lucy takes the long way home
Meets me in a field of stone
She says I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
My body's cold but guts a twist in steel

And I feel like I'm some kind of Frankenstein
Waiting for a shock to bring me back to life
But I don't wanna spend all my time
Waiting for lighting to strike


So underneath the concrete sky
Lucy puts her hand in mine
She says life's a game we are meant to lose
Stick by me and I with stick by you

'Cause I'm like a princess waiting in a castle high
Waiting for a kiss to bring me back to life
But I don't wanna spend my time
Waiting for just another guy

Tomorrow, Tomorrow by Elliott Smith

Tomorrow, Tomorrow by Elliott Smith

Beautiful choice.

 

[Mbound]

Beautiful choice.

Thank you! I think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever made tbh. And it's the perfect mix of gentle (yet still incredibly intense), melancholy, and hopeful. Being able to listen to Elliott's music is one of the daily experiences I am truly sad to leave behind.

 

[Neon]

most likely this. I'd like to hear it while I'm passing.

 

[Lol]

whatever comes on shuffle

 

[Sandman]

maybe.

 

[Sailfisher]

Silence.

 

[262653]

I was considering You Can Fly from Peter Pan Disney movie, its about making dreams come true and and letting go of the finite, but in the end I'll probably stick with Silence too.

 

[whoisdead12]

When I'm committing suicide I think I would choose Gravity by Colplay(I'm thinking of what could be) but When they(mortuary) are cremating, I choose "I know it's over " by The Smiths.

 

[oopswronglife]

It was going to be this one. But I felt I had to respect the artist's wishes.

 

[omoidarui]

^wow, i love that song and hadn't thought about it literally being a 'final song'

I was considering You Can Fly from Peter Pan Disney movie, its about making dreams come true and and letting go of the finite, but in the end I'll probably stick with Silence too.

thx for the idea

Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday.

 

[not_a_robot]

Fuck yo' feelings, Dawg! Fuck 'em!

 

[thedutchguy]

 

[not_a_robot]

This will be on the playlist to remind me of all of you, imaginary friends.
"cuz today I found my friends,
they're in my head
I'm so ugly,
that's ok cuz so are you
Broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is every day
for all I care
I'm not scared"

and this one is a perfect ctb song but I probably won't use it, I will try to only have happy music if any.

 

[ReverendGreen]

I used to daydream about driving up to the parking deck near my house and jumping off right as the drums kick in on this song.
