If you could choose the last piece of music you would hear before you die, what would you have ?

Assuming you're not on Death Row or about to be flattened by a bus...

Anyway, I'd go for either Meditation from Thais by Jules Massenet, or Yoda's Theme by John Williams. They're both very serene and of much depth. The perfect musical accompaniment to slipping away quietly🙂.

Am I the only person here who considers this a bit too morbid?

'I Love the Dead' by Alice Cooper which I was going to have played at my funeral.

However I also like 'Time to say Goodbye', the Martin Hurkens version.

I don't think it's morbid at all.

Our society has so few mechanisms for coping with passing, loss, grieving.

It's okay to talk about death, including our own, as, along with taxes....

Unfinished Sympathy. No particular connection between lyrics and saying goodbye, just a damn good song. Hopefully it will be raining too, just for added effect.

Andre Rieu’s version of Fucik’s Entry of the Gladiators.

mythreefavouritethings A Yorkshire moorland cemetery in February, too? 😉

Re. morbid, I definitely think it’s good to put it out there. It should be a celebration and when putting my mum’s funeral together, it was actually really comforting to think about music she would have wanted (we’d never spoken about it, I wish we had to be sure we got it right, but it was very sudden).

Sweet Dreams TN by the last shadow puppets, mine and DHs song

Oh Miljah, scarily on it! The full Wuthering Heights job! Perfect.

Oo, wat a lovely morbid thread - thanks!

The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues

mythreefavouritethings I will wear my darkest cape. I can go full Scottish Widows with enough notice!

I want to pass, quietly (don't we all?), with Mozart's Clarinet Concerto playing quietly; then I want my ashes shot into the sky in a firework while my friends sing 'I vow to thee, my country'.

I sound like you local Tory councillor seeking re-election, don't I?

😁

Cavalleria Rusticana... so beautiful.
But I'd also quite like Simon and Garfuknkel's Homeward Bound afterwards :)

Miljah, I’ll get ‘em to save you a seat! I love your plan 😂

Debussy’s Clair de Lune

In Paradisum I love it.

Nellie the elephant

Queen days of our lives

It would depend if I was happy about it or not at the time.

Wake me up before you go go , it would make me smile

Such variety and no right or wrong answers. I agree that this is a morbid subject but death gets all of us eventually.

I don't think this is morbid at all. Music has always provided a very important connection between DH and I. We have Spotify lists for everything and I'd like to think music was part of my death.
It will certainly be very much part if my funeral.

Well I wonder by the smiths

Sweet Child of Mine by Guns'n'Roses

A well-loved musician who lives near me, was serenaded on his last day, by a brass band outside his window playing "The Dam Busters March". I'd like that too - going out with something stirring !
