Happy songs about death

<< < (5/14) > >>

mookers:
belle & sebastian - if you're feeling sinister

SeanBateman:
I want to say anny track off of the eels electroshock blues, but it's really just PS You Rock My World that needs the credit

KharBevNor:
Pretty much everything by Zombina and the Skeletones, especially 'The Grave...and Beyond' and 'Nobody Likes You When You're Dead'.

Way more, but I find lots of dark music to be really enjoyable. Nothing like a good sing-along to Cradle of Filth's hyper-cliched 'Suicide and Other Comforts' (It actually has the line 'I slit my wrists and quickly slip away' in it. Lines like that come up in jokes quite a bit, but scarcely in actual songs.) Then there's peaces of ass-kickery like 'Elegy' by Edge of Sanity (which is basically about dying from excessive drug use, essentially tripping stright into the afterlife) with it's (to me anyway) awesomely catchy chorus:

Next time you see the stars alight,
Like diamonds in the winter night,
Do think of me, remember me...
So reads my elegy.
Next time I see the stars shine bright,
Like white eyes in the darkened light,
I'm free no chains are holding me,
But still I live by your elegy!

Pretty much all music can make you feel good if you're in the right mood.

Well I wouldn't really say it has any particularly happy songs about death, and PS You Rock My World is really more about life (or not dying). Or at least, that's where the happiness in that song comes from. Incredible album, though

unknowner:
Josh Joplin Group's one semi-hit, "Camera One."

The sandy-haired son of Hollywood
Lost his faith in all that's good
Closed the curtain
Unplugged the clock
Hung his clothes on the shower rod
But he never got undressed
And no, he never made a mess
It's funny how
Life turns out
The odds of faith
In the face of doubt
Camera one
Closes in
The soundtrack starts
The scene begins
You're playing you now...

It's not their best by any stretch of the imagination, but it's their only one I've heard that actually adresses death.  You can download it at the band's website.

I've plugged my fave band yet again... my work here is done!
