Imagine that you're on your deathbed. You've lived a long, eventful life. You've made your peace. The body you've inhabited for the past 8 or so decades has finally worn out. You're ready to move on. Fuck this world, fuck it all, I'm gonna go now and I'm not sorry to be gone. Y'all behave now. Or not. I don't care.
At this point, would it not be EXTREMELY COOL if someone (or yourself, it doesn't matter really) played one of your favourite songs to serenade you into the afterlife? Imagine drawing your last breath just as Red Hot Chili Peppers' By The Way comes to its final refrain, its echoes fading away as consciousness slips from you like a soft blanket sliding off the bed...
In that vein, here are the top five songs that I want to listen to just before I die, in no particular order:
1. Switchfoot - Dare You To Move
2. Tina Turner - Simply The Best
3. Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing
4. Lifehouse - Take Me Away
5. Dashboard Confessional - Don't Wait
Any one of these songs would be an appropriate requiem. I know it.
