    It would have to be "The End". There is a live version at which show i dont recall, but it was followed by "Just Breathe". I had never heard The End live, but it was just Ed, Boom, and a violinist. It was simply the most beautiful song I have ever heard him sing. I could rest in peace after hearing it, for sure.

    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.


    Wow, what an appropriate choice. :thumbup:

    "this is the song that never ends...it just goes on and on, my friend...some people, started singing it not knowing what it was..."

    the only bad thing about that is you would live forever having to listen to that crappy song :D
    i think I would rather die! :lol:

    The one that John Cale played on piano before joining the Velvet Underground that took 18 hours. That should buy me some time....

    or The Smith 'Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me'

    or The Wedding Present 'Shatner', 'Spangle' or 'Corduroy'

    Guaranteed.... from the first time I heard it.
    The last two verses are beautiful.


    On bended knee is no way to be free
    lifting up an empty cup I ask silently
    that all my destinations will accept the one that's me
    so I can breath

    Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
    half their lives they say goodnight to wive's they'll never know
    got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul
    so it goes...

    Don't come closer or I'll have to go
    Holding me like gravity are places that pull
    If ever there was someone to keep me at home
    It would be you...

    Everyone I come across in cages they bought
    they think of me and my wandering
    but I'm never what they thought
    got my indignation but I'm pure in all my thoughts
    I'm alive...

    Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
    underneath my being is a road that disappeared
    late at night I hear the trees
    they're singing with the dead
    overhead...

    Leave it to me as I find a way to be
    consider me a satelite for ever orbiting
    I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me
    guaranteed...
    "Hey Cliff... While We're young!"

    First instinct is to agree with this,
    so I'm gonna stick with that instinct.
    Seriously, how could 'Release'
    NOT leap to the front of the queue
    when you read this question?
    Cheers.
    'Cause you don't give blood and take it back again.

    Again I'll say

    LONG NIGHTS!

    Please in St Louis 8-)


    Have no fear
    For when I'm alone
    I'll be better off than I was before

    I've got this life
    I'll be around to grow
    Who I was before
    I cannot recall

    Long nights allow me to feel
    I'm falling
    I am falling
    The lights go out
    Let me feel
    T'm falling
    I am falling safely to the ground
    Ah...

    I'll take this soul that's inside me now
    Like a brand new friend
    I'll forever know

    I've got this light
    And the will to show
    I will always be better than before

    Long nights allow me to feel
    I'm falling
    I am falling
    The lights go out
    Let me feel
    I'm falling
    I am falling safely to the ground
    Ah..
     :clap:
