The song that plays when you die.

[Xpwn3ntial]

I've been waiting for an excuse to post this, and this is perfect.

Spoiler

 

[NinjaRabies]

I guess I'm less original. My song of choice would be Fly me to The Moon as performed by Frank Sinatra.

 

[Cazza]

Freebird

 

[SimplyTheWest]

I'm gonna have a damn fun funeral!

 

[Gordon_4_v1legacy]

Christopher Franke - Sleeping in Light (sans dialogue of course), but only if I really do something magnificent in my life

For a normal funeral

Stan Bush - The Touch, something that epitomised my growing up and the music that saw Optimus Prime's finest hour.

 

[Syntax Error]

Smile when you think of me, my body's gone, that's all.

 

[Lucifron]

Spoiler: You're gonna carry that weight

Or this.

I'm listening to it right now:
np: Metallica - Fade to Black "Ride the Lightning"

Ohgod "Blue" always makes manly tears begin to form in my eyes. What a narmy friggin Spaniard in the end there though

Oh, and you picked two of the top seeds in my "Songs that would be awesome to hear as you die"-list. Good choice my friend, good choice.

Others would be Octavarium by Dream Theater (but I better take my sweet time bleeding out if I want that one) or Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl3AQMeXSFU Seriously, nobody thought of THIS one? It's the first thing that came in my head when I read the title of the thread.

 

[Keava]

Depends on what kind of death it would be.
For a romantic ending

Spoiler: Liza Minnelli - Mein Herr

For decadent death among bottles of cheap alcohol and surrounded by thick cloud of cigarette smoke

Spoiler: Jason Webley - Dance While The Sky Crashes Down

For a quiet death

Spoiler: Love - Everybody's Gotta Live

For silly death

Spoiler: Queen - Fat Bottom Girls

 

[Trivun]

Probably this:

Spoiler: Tears Don't Fall - Bullet For My Valentine

And at my funeral? I'd want this to play:

Spoiler: Signs - Bloc Party

 

[Ekonk]

Death is the Road to Awe by Clint Mansell, from The Fountain soundtrack.

Motherfuckin' A. I didn't know what I was gonna say at first, but definitely this. That soundtrack gives me shivers every time.

 

[ProtoChimp]

Ooh whatcha saaaayyyyyyyyyyy... sorry.

This really. No joke I want that playing when I die. Even if its off putting I dont care its MY fucking death.

 

[Eumersian]

Almost certainly: Adagio in G minor for Strings and Organ by Remo Giazotto.

Sad stuff, it is.

EDIT: AN EMBED

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Scatman Cruthers: Everybody wants to be a cat.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

Could there be any better?

Gave me chills.

Glad I could help. I find it ironic that the song is entitled "Song of Healing" when its mood is one of extreme sorrow. I feel that it would fit perfectly to any funeral.

 

[hurfdurp]

I have this planned for my funeral:

Spoiler

 

[dogenzakaminion]

Moon on the Water by The Dying Breed feat. Yukio Tanaka.

It's my favorite song ever. In the world. It's by the people who got me into music and this was the first song I ever learned on guitar/bass so natural choice really.

Also, I dunno how to embed youtube links...

 

[No_Remainders]

"Pity The Dead" by Bad Religion.

It's the way I look on life, and I'd hope that it at least makes people slightly happier that I'm better off than they are.

 

[Duskwaith]

The song I would want played as I die would be "Don't Fear The Reaper" from the band Blue Oyster Cult.

Still needs more cowbell *cookie for reference*

As for my own death:

I like the beat and its rather sad when you listen to the lyrics.

 

[Oilerfan92]

I love video games. So what else?

<youtube=M6KOEMJKdEI>

I promised a friend I'd say something from his favorite movie at his funeral, "He was a fucking great guy, and this is turning into a real asshole of a day".

He has to promise me to play that at an appropriate point in my funeral.

In general though. I'd play a song that even my moat upset funeral atende would have to laugh at. "Before we bid fair well to Tyler into the heavens. We will follow his last request with the playing of "The Ghostbusters" theme song".

Seriously though. Dream On by Aerosmith.
