One song before you died

Echoes · September 2003

If you knew you were about to die, and had the choice of listening to one song , and only one song, before you died, what song would you want to hear (doesn't need to be PJ if you don't want)??

I need some time to think of mine, so I'll post mine when it comes to me

In My Tree... i have to go in peace

not sure. I've always thought of Long Road as my funeral song, but if I get to be there to listen to it and then I go, I might take my fave, Faithfull.

BLOOD

MeddleDeal · September 2003

oh I have that song already in my mind...kind of morbid, i know.

It would have to be "The Great Gig In the Sky" by Pink Floyd, I don't know, I have always been struck by this song when I was a teen. It is a good song to go out on ya know.

Mine was Crown of Thorns....but alas, I have seen them play it now and can rest in peace.

How about "Say Hello to Heavan" I love Chris Cornell's voice in that song, so powerful.

Echoes · September 2003

Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind hearing something by The Matthew Good Band, like Apparitions........although Great Gig in the Sky is an excellent choice

Release or Arc.
That's a tough one. Honestly, I'd die with complete satisfaction and tremendous joy to just hear Ed's baritone rattle. Lyrics would be an after-thought.

hmmmmm depends on what i was dieing from. if it was suicide it would proboly be "waste" or "for you" if of something else i dont know ummmmm "Alive" or "All Apologies"

Yellow Ledbetter, without a doubt. I also want this to be my wedding song though. Does that make me morbid about weddings or enlightened about death?

Echoes · September 2003

I think it just means YLB can be taken as either a happy or sad song, depending on what you make of it. Guess that's where the ambiguous lyrics come in handy.

The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys (Winwood/Capaldi)

If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just can't escape from the sound
Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys

The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was
The low spark of high-heeled boys

If you had just a minute to breathe and they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance?
Or something similar as this? Don't worry too much
It'll happen to you as sure as your sorrows are joys
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys

If I gave you everything that I owned and asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I would for you?
Or take me for a ride, and strip me of everything including my pride
But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
The low spark of high-heeled boys

Release... It would be a perfect song to die to.

immortality!

Yellow Ledbetter, no question. I've always thought of it as not really what I'd want to hear when I'm about to die, but what I want to be hearing when I'm walking into Heaven itself. :]

Ah yes Traffic- awesome- from my high school days- a favorite to listen to regularly- good choice.
For me if I'm leaving this world the voice going with me has to be Eddie's
Indifference has always had a special meaning for me I would probably want to hear it one more time.
Just Breathe would be a nice way out- "meet you on the other side".......

One song before you died
