Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground. Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood Let me smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace. Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground. Go out in your country where the land meets the sun See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho Let every state in this union seep in your souls. And you'll die in your footsteps Before you go down under the ground.

Dream Thater - "The Spirit Carries On" , Score Version

.

"Heather" - Billy Cobham

Such a lovely and hypnotizing jazz groove. Kind of melancholy and introspective.

Pretty easy - Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, probably sing it to myself but not to the last moment. Being Buddhism I believe our last conscious leads to our next destination so, music is too sensual then.

Joni Mitchell - Free Man in Paris

I was a free man in paris
I felt unfettered and alive
There was nobody calling me up for favors
And no ones future to decide
You know Id go back there tomorrow
But for the work Ive taken on

For popular music, that's the song I'd go with.

Otherwise I'd go with Beethoven's 32nd Piano Sonata.

People Who Died - Jim Carroll Band

Little sample:

Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East two-nine
Kathy was eleven when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

CHORUS:
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends
They just died

The longest song, which still has about 992 years until the end of song. iwin.

DT- A Change of Seasons
...at least I'll have 23 minutes to contemplate my life

 

[SysteX]

For me the choice is obvious:

Brahms - String Quartet in C minor, Op. 51, No. 1

Nothing quite does it for me like this piece.
