I'm thinking Jane Doe by Converge, that song just sounds like dying. Fermented Offal Discharge by Necrophagist might also do if I was in that kinda mood, because of the amazing solo at the end, and then the abrupt ending. Perfect to be shot to I should think.

Alternitively, I could go out to something more laid back. December Song by Sol Invictus comes to mind, maybe some Agalloch. Tomhet by Burzum would make for a very relaxed death. Khetti Sahsa Shemsu by Nile very much captures the feeling of being about to be killed, so that might be fitting.

the song that never ends!

they would deal with death, but depending on my mood, in a different way...
goodbye - celldweller
summer of darkness - demon hunter
ex nihilo/denouement - becoming the archetype
cryptorchid - marilyn manson

Lou Reed- Metal Machine Music on vinyl. It has a locked groove at the end of side 4. Of course, listening to it for eternity would be worse than death.

I would go with Death Don't Have No Mercy or Friend of the Devil by the Grateful Dead. Just two of my favorite songs.

"Go Forth and Die" by Dethklok

spinning_Starlet · « **Reply #104 on:** 09 Nov 2006, 16:38 »

Ha Ha your dead - Greenday.
Just because it would amuse me.

in reality...
EITHER
Gigantic or Debaser - Pixies
OR
Voodoo People
Prodigy, but the Pendulum remix.

bit of a difference there, but there you go!!

"Cows" by the Suburbs

doubt anyone heres ever heard them though

In the words of Dave Barry ...

"Hey Jude, by the Beatles, the end part of which where they do the 'na na na nanana na' is still being recorded."

Master tapes of course

Compared to all of yours --mine is lame (although, I didn't read through everyones...): One Song Glory from Rent.
Unless you meant, like...a musicanish song... in which case...Blowin' In the Wind by Bob Dylan, or American Pie by Don McLean

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #108 on:** 15 Nov 2006, 00:23 »

"new animals from the air" by eluvium. it sounds like an ascending. or something. but it's a good song to die to i should think.

Idioteque by Radiohead.

The Eyeball Kid · « **Reply #110 on:** 18 Nov 2006, 16:18 »

i've been thinking too much about death lately... to make me comfortable:
Sufjan Stevens - 'Chicago' ('All Things Go, all things go')
The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?
Neutral Milk Hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea

cliche, but i don't care

rehseboy · « **Reply #111 on:** 18 Nov 2006, 20:21 »

Certainly down with Pixies Where is My Mind and American Pie by Don McLean...

But I think I'd have to go with Flames by VAST. After that, I think I would be peaceful and ready to die.

Actually, this is kind of a cool idea here...

I think that if I had a choice, I would want my last song ever heard to be "Jane Doe" by Converge. I always thought that would be a really good way for me to go out, listening to that song...

SUCH a good fucking song.

Mr. Minipax · « **Reply #113 on:** 20 Nov 2006, 03:39 »

"Don't Fear the Reaper" - Blue Oyster Cult

Appropriate! Whoo!

Or, if we were going with songs that I really liked, "Decatur, or a Round of Applause for Your Stepmother" - Sufjan Stevens or "Leslie Ann Levine" by the Decemberists.

If you were dressed up like a clown, "John Wayne Gacy Jr.", also by Sufjan Stevens.

Either:
A. Brahms entire First Symphony
B. uhh....Fourth track off of Mr. Bungle - California (the one where it ends with a heart monitor flatlining)
or C. !T.O.O.H.! - Kali. It is, to me, the epitome of swansongs.

The Pixes are coming here in March. If i survive that long i can off myself to 'Where Is My Mind', like the end of Fight Club

camelpimp · « **Reply #119 on:** 30 Nov 2006, 00:23 »

I think one last "What's Yours is Mine" would be pretty rockin'

Or maybe Inna-de-gadda-da-vita. Maybe it'll cause my attacker to commit suicide. We can hope!

foolsgold · « **Reply #120 on:** 30 Nov 2006, 00:59 »

See, this is a hard one. On one hand, my natural reaction is to say "Fools Gold" by the Stone Roses, because a) I fucking love that song b) it is long and c) maybe the beat would cause the gun wielding maniac to get their funk on, forgetting about me so that I can escape. But, I have heard that song thousands of times, so maybe I should revisit a song I've not listened to in a while. "Jock-o-rama" by the Dead Kennedys leaps to mind (not sure why) as does "Turkish Song of the Damned" by the Pogues.

If Shane McGowen drunken growling isn't the perfect foray into death, then I don't know what is.

I know that I wouldn't want to hear something new to me. I would hate to be seconds away from death, totally digging a song that I had never heard, because I know I'd just get all pissy with myself for all the time I wasted trying to get the appeal of Interpol when I could have just enjoyed the last band I will ever hear.

So, in conclusion, Johnny Cash's "25 Minutes To Go" has a certain appeal.

Once i seen the thread I was kinda like shittt I really dont know any good songs.
Best I can think of would be "Always look on the brightside of life" or
Maybe that modest mouse song float on .
If I wanted it to end quick the enterlude from the new killers album.
Yep my taste in music needs some fine tweaking, dont it?

Would the gunman be listening as well (or gun woman since this sounds like something passive agressive enough to be done by a female)? If so I would want to be shot during the first Volley in the 1812 overature.

Neutral Milk Hotel - Two-Headed Boy pt. 2

or

Bowie - We Are the Dead

but probably the former, though that makes me a poor Bowie-freak. Maybe it's just the NMH-obsessed (and the rest of E6 for that matter, but especially NMH) mood I've been in lately, but I don't think so. Even in my normal state that song turns me into marshmallows.

God, shut up about E6 already, retard.

famousninja · « **Reply #129 on:** 06 Dec 2006, 06:28 »

I'd have to go with either:

James Brown - I'm a Soul Man
Nine Inch Nails - The Great Below

And of course, when i die, i'll need a funeral, and playing as the casket is hauled away?

Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing

imapiratearg · « **Reply #130 on:** 06 Dec 2006, 23:18 »

"The Last Song Ever" by Secondhand Serenade
"Play Crack The Sky" by Brand New
"Such Great Heights" by Iron & Wine
"The Trapeze Swinger" by Iron & Wine

one of those i think. "The Last Song Ever" because of the appropriate title. "Play Crack The Sky" because of it's subject, only i wouldn't be dying at sea. and "Such Great Heights" because of it's sentimental value to me. and "The Trapeze Swinger" because it's all happy and reflective like.

yep.

Will · « **Reply #131 on:** 06 Dec 2006, 23:27 »

Another good one: "Hym" by Isis. It's the last track on Oceanic, which - when you follow the stoyline to the album - is where the lead female character kills herself. It's an incredibly moving piece of music, and would fit the theme of "Last song you'll ever hear" rather well.

That is almost certainly too good to be true. That would be too beautiful for words. There's always some silly rumor about Jeff doing something or other that he is not actually doing, though. Posts on message boards that apparently aren't actually by him, etc. Sigh.

Just in case, though, where and when did she hear it? I'd much rather be a gullible asshole than miss something that actually DOES happen. I'd sell my soul for a chance to see Mangum live in any form or grouping or context whatsoever. I'd willingly sit and watch the man pour sewage over his head and hop around chanting michael bolton lyrics reworded in iambic pentameter.

The Eyeball Kid · « **Reply #137 on:** 08 Dec 2006, 18:22 »

I'd like to think that because she's in a band she has some special insight into this, but I'm pretty sure she just read it on a messege board/fan site and the chances of it being true are almost nil, especially since The Mountain Goats tour all the time.
I know John Darinelle has met Jeff Mangum and they were friends for a bit... he mentions it on a messege board.
