You don’t plan to go out quietly into that good night, do you? ![]()
First thought:
Birth: Danny’s Song (punk version by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes)
Death: Over the Rainbow / Wonderful World (Israel Kamakawiwo’ole version)
I might change my mind after perusing my ipod though
Leontyne Price: “Summertime” from Porgy and Bess
A soft-voiced baritone singing “Beyond the Blue Horizon” followed by a very small group performing “The Humming Chorus”
Birth: True Faith New Order
Death: *There is a Light that Never Goes Out *The Smiths
Birth: Imperial Death March from Star Wars
Death: Alice’s Restaurant
Alternate birth- Revolution #9
Birth: Joanna Newsom, Sawdust and Diamonds
Mostly because of these lines:
I wasn’t born of a whistle
Or milked from a thistle at twilight
No, I was all horns and thorns
Sprung out fully formed, knock-kneed and upright
That’s pretty much how I would want to enter this world
Death: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Lay Me Low
‘Flügelhorn’ is such an absurd word in English. And yes, they’re gonna have to sound one…
Birth: Mighty Mouse Theme Song
Death: The B-Side Suite from Abbey Road. Though I’d like to be dead before Paul ruins it with a cheeky little tune about the Queen.
Birth - Thirteen by Johnny Cash, written by Danzig.
Death - Tonight We Ride by Tom Russell
Yes, I’m a miserable bastard, an alcoholic, and a country fan.
Birth - Hello Hurray - Alice Cooper
Death a. Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits or
b. You Can Close Your Eyes - James Taylor
Birth - Welcome to the Machine
Death - God’s Gonna Cut You Down, although There is a Light that Never Goes Out is a solid pick too
Birth --* Born at the Right Time* (Paul Simon)
Death – Bright Eyes (From Watership Down and Sung by Art Garfunkel)
I want Always Look on the Bright Side of Life played at my funeral (and Girl Wonder says it won’t happen), so I think it would make an okay death song, also.
For my birth? Not that I’m a huge fan, but “Bad to the Bone,” while being cliche, would fit rather well. If not that, then Miserlou.
