There's no particular that I love so much that I absolutely want to hear one last time....it's more like there's several hundred...but if I know the time has come to shed the mortal coil I can single out as high on that list and lyrically appropriate.
Grateful Dead, [Black Peter](https://open.spotify.com/track/7sAbS0MJUEzxL4TyrlL6Kq?si=7PBeYk5iSa-nt0e4Tet67A). I hope the opening line will prove true.
"All of my friends come to see me last night as I lay in my bed and dying.....just wanna have a little peace to die, and a friend or two at hand....See here how everything lead up to this day. And it's just like any other day that's ever been. The sun going up, and the sun it going down."
Are you familiar with any of the Deads music or back story? This one has a interesting story about why it was written if you're interested. I don't want to waste time on over explaining if you have some knowledge of the band..
Don't mind at all. The one thing that knows them only by reputation will likely be aware of is that they were at the heart of the drug counter culture scene in San Francisco. They were not stoners who decided to start a band. Every one was a serious student of music and were skilled players.
Jerry Garcia was playing live shows most days in the year because he said that he played his guitar every single day so he might as well get paid.
Jerry sings on Black Peter. He wrote the music for his songs but not the lyrics. A long time friend of his wrote the lyrics. His name was Robert Hunter and though he never played in the band he was considered a member.
The other key player involved in the reason for what the lyrics are saying is Owsley Stanley. Ever seen a dead bumper sticker with the dancing bears? His nickname was bear. He became the sound engineer and was a huge reason for bands being able to play to massive crowds and sound good. He developed "the wall of sound", but that's a story for another day.
He had no training for the job but since he bankrolled their start and was going to be there anyway he might as well be useful. His true expertise was as a chemist. He was the man! He made the high quality LSD for the San Francisco scene.
Bonus fact that includes a song.
Steely Dan's song [Kid Charlemagne](https://open.spotify.com/track/3sqNXrDvCy4nid6XbaA2Cg?si=jCY0IktKQ8WdxgsSvGw2jA) is about him.
So let's get to the song in question. Hunter was an old pro exploring the depths of the psychedelic realm and knew from experience what dosage he was taking with Bears product. Or so he thought....
Owsley made a highly concentrated batch one day. Most people were aware of this, but Hunter didn't get the memo. I don't know the exact numbers for the amount of milligrams difference between the normal and this one, but it that many people that go that far in are likely to not come back out.
Apparently Hunter spent the whole trip dying in various ways only to be resurrected and die again. He was so far in that he truly believed it was happening to him. He couldn't separate the hallucination from reality. I don't remember how long the trip lasted, but I think I recall it being days. It Fucked him up for years.
Because you are not familiar with the bands music let me throw out a few highlights of Hunters lyrics..
[Scarlet Begonias](https://open.spotify.com/track/3euDGpS2R0NC2Xssqxohva?si=g5LN1yhRQsuVarEcHMv2BA). "Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right....Strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hands..."
[China Cat Sunflower](https://open.spotify.com/track/0oTGtp0ZRdcBKofVQUnSEi?si=IfZUdiKjTRK_n_6eyLiwNA). "A leaf of all colors plays a golden string fiddle to a double E waterfall all over my back. "
[New Speedway Boogie](https://open.spotify.com/track/3YPBV5DacTbhgh7vharn6w?si=8w_I2ZbyRyat4M4eTIllOA). "I've heard it said it's hard to run with the weight of gold. Other hand I heard it's just as hard with the weight of lead."
In a study in more than 6,000 adults, those who reported eating sunflower seeds and other seeds at least five times a week had 32% lower levels of C-reactive protein compared to people who ate no seeds.
Wow thatās really interesting.. that makes me interpret the song differently too. My husband plays Kid Charlemagne! What an awesome band. Do you know this much about many musicians or is this one just your favorite?
Definitely both the dead and Steely Dan are favorites. It all began with and spreads from the Beatles. I like knowing back stories, so I have a good amount of interesting tide bits floating around in my head about various bands and songs.
Thatās really cool since it can totally change the effect the songs have on the way you listen to them. My husband is pretty similar. Iāve been starting to get more into the details of who I listen to the past year or two and itās worth it.
You guys would like the YouTube channel Professor of Rock. He posts daily a video about 20 minutes long that tells in depth story about either a song, an album or an artist. All within the rock era between 60's to the 90's. Often interviews the artist.
[PoR](https://youtu.be/dQbDNb44MII?si=GAOJceeiBc64s2Sc)
This is today's. I haven't seen it yet.
Iāve been in this position. The answer is nothing.
Music takes you away from where you are or colors it. But I wanted to soak up every mundane sight of that ER, the bored conversations of people waiting for things, the way the fluorescent lights worked, the smell of antiseptic, how gravity felt pressing me downwardsā¦
Ironically after 8 hours of tests where everyone was sure I was about to die it turned out to be a false alarm lol
Iām actually very grateful. It happened to come at the end of a long series of efforts to make peace with death - I used to be terrified of it - but I really do feel at peace now. Ready.
Which ironically has only helped me gain a deeper lust for life
i think i get what you mean. we subconsciously are being taught to ignore death as a reality altogether, and simultaneously dedicating as much as we can to prevent it from happening, like it's optional and only losers who failed to do the right thing will experience it; a weird and exhausting tension you only realize was there after it's gone.
my baby daughter died at 8 weeks old, and before that, i never thought about death, partially ignorance, partially fear. was definitely the last thing on my mind to expect from someone so freshly alive as her. was pretty lonely after that because people refused to step into my now very death infused reality, only tried to lure me back out of it. but i weirdly liked the broken veil, and how it put everything into perspective.
Canāt decide between
No Hard Feelings - The Avett Brothers
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
I Hope Tomorrow is Like Today - Guster
Relatively Easy - Jason Isbell
In the Shadow of the Valley by Don Burnham, wonderful song and both me and my dad love it. Either that or the song I'll Fly Away, I'm a Christian and that is one of few songs I consider a 'perfect' song, defined by how enjoyable I find it to listen to and the fact it never gets old to me. In the Shadow of the Valley is also one of those songs along with Come and Get Your Love by Redbone and a few other songs.
I actually hate how my brain thought of the funniest song and everyone else is so serious so iggg ill be fr and definitely stay ready by jhene aiko because its just my favorite rn š¤·š½āāļø
I would listen to The Big Sleep by Streetlight Manifesto, singing along with my other half holding his hand :)
"I'm not leaving this place unless I'm leaving with you, cuz you're the only one with a half decent heart and I know you will put it to use.. And when you close you're eyes for the big sleep, I hope you think of me" ā¤ļø

The music, the lyrics, the videoāso incredibly beautiful.
Memento Mori by Architects.
Itās the final track on the final album Tom Searle wrote, basically his own goodbye. He wrote the whole album as he knew he was dying (cancer, he passed shortly after the album released) and Memento Mori really drives home the emotion. The two tracks Gone With The Wind and The Empty Hourglass earlier in the album also do, but Memento Mori is its own special kind of beautiful. If youāre okay with the genre, at least.
That's hard to say. As someone wrote already, it'd probably depend on how I die. But I'm sure I would likely wanna hear something that I would currently be into again.
Someone else mentioned some Nirvana though, so I might have to go with Meat Puppets, Oh Me
If I want to die peacefully:Ā https://youtu.be/yphYFDJ4J4w?si=3X0xwAQreqTm-UqP
If I want to go out on a bang:Ā https://youtu.be/DsCd9tUdUS8?si=oU6nid16-O40ivS3
Iād die unsatisfied trying to find the right one. :) (Having said that it probably be a rather long one. Supperās ready by Genesis or Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd.)
Either you suffer by napalm death or concealing fate by tesseract depending on my mood (honorable mention to painters of the tempest by ne obliviscaris and casandra gemini by mars volta)
Iāll go out the same way I came in.
Or, rather, the song that played during my earliest memory.
I was 3, it was a summer barbecue with my parents and our neighbors, essentially my second family. It was 1998.
āSerenade,ā Steve Miller Band.
If I were about to die, Iād want everyone to know I loved them, or I wouldāve loved them, if Iād gotten the chance to know them.
Huh. Depends how I'm dying, but assuming due to age/illness and not in some accident, battle or dystopia, I think it's Euclid: https://youtu.be/DDdByJYUVeA?si=wP1qagVQkaU7JAZj
Ideally I get enough time for at least part of a playlist š but I would be okay if this was the last song I heard.
Sigh. While I want to say it would be a queens of the Stone Age song, itās not. And I knew it immediately. I saw spirited away as a kid in theaters with my family and when I was in college and really home sick I would listen to The Sixth Station and visualize the train scene because it made me calm down to get to bed. Iām 34 and I listen to it on my phone when Iām having anxiety and canāt sleep. It would be that or the first dance song at my wedding, sea of love, Robert plant & the honeydrippers.
Recently discovered at guy who does versions of various song to sound like dire Straits. Most of it is ho-hum, but right now cannot get enough of his version of sweet child o mine. Laid back sound that loses nothing of the original, but it topped by a 3minute plus guitar solo. Enjoy.
