So say you were dying, in as nice a way as possible, and you could kind of pick any song to fade out to... what song would you pick?
And, for that matter, what song would you want them to carry you out to/play at the cemetery/as your ashes are spread/etc.? You'll not hear that one, but others will associate it with you. What would pick?
And, yeah, I suppose I did a funeral music topic once upon a time, but hopefully this is a distinct enough topic: not just end-of-life songs, but truly last songs.
1. Massive Attack* “Man Next Door” Mezzanine
2. Katy B “Witches' Brew” On a Mission
3. Joe Henry “When You Wish Upon a Star” Mary Had a Little Amp
4. Julien Baker “Over” Turn Out the Lights
5. Sylvan Esso “H.S.K.T. (Live)” KCRW's Morning Become Electric
6. Robyn “Dance Hall Queen” Body Talk Pt. 1
7. Yeah Yeah Yeahs “Maps” Maps
8. Patty Griffin “Mother of God” Silver Bell
9. Etta James “At Last” Her Best
T. Underworld “Moaner” Beaucoup Fish
E. Horse Lords “Truthers” Interventions
*Notes:
1. Vocals by Horace Andy

I disapprove of their capitalization game. Is this 1994?
I dig it. Added to my deezer summer mix.
After being reported missing earlier this week, a body was recovered and confirmed to be Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison.

For a song to fade out to, I guess I'd go with my favorite song from my favorite album.
When they're dumping my ashes into the ocean it'd be this (which has NSFW lyrics).
Dust in the Wind ... duh.
I can't shake the idea of "Iron Lemonade" by Black Moth Super Rainbow as my fade out song. Too on-the-nose?
I know it's kinda long (but what would I care) but I pick Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the end of time).
But I really hate it when people clap between the movements. Stop that!
O.k. Of course this is totally predictable but I hope Over the Neptune/Mesh Gear Fox by Guided by Voices is my fade out song.
It starts as a rocker with a great chorus:
And hey, let's throw the great party
Today for the rest of our lives
The fun is just about to get started
So throw the switch, it's rock and roll time
It then ends with this epic slowed down verse with and then fades out with a blistering guitar solo.
Man what a way to go.
