To what song would you listen as you took your last breath?

What’s the meaning of that song to you? Why is it the one to which you would die?

I accidentally posted before I was done.

I’m not sure what it would be for me, but I think I would want it to be a song that brings me back into my childhood, so Jackson Browne’s “Runnin’ on Empty” would be a good candidate.

“Sultans of Swing” would be up there.

I’m perfectly hip to today’s music, and I love me some LDN by Lily Allen (listening to it now actually), but if you’re on your deathbed what is the kind of music you’d like to be the last thing you hear before departing from this world?

And why?

Although I am a classical pianist, I hadn’t heard of The Trout until now.

It’s not bad.

For irreversible’s suggestion, it’s a good classic so if you aren’t familiar with it, get yourself familiar with it.

But please do not hold your breath for any duration. Our deaths here are completely imaginary.

I didn’t expect this to go in the direction of classical music, but I suppose that might be the natural direction it would take.

If we’re talking about classicals, I learned to play them because I simply love them (these are recordings of me playing them live).

Maybe it’s just me for having learned them to their every note, but while I have a clear affinity for these kinds of songs, they aren’t the ones that would give me the best comfort on my last breath.
