Default What's Your Swan Song?

https://www.npr.org/sections/allsong...ntent=20180130

If you've ever considered your own mortality and just how, exactly, you'll take your final bow, there's a good chance you've picked a song you want played at your funeral.

Your final song, your swan song, can leave a lasting impression on those you leave behind. It's like a mission statement for the life you lived and how you want to be remembered.

Tell us what song you want played for your grand exit and why. Fill out the form below — or, better yet, record a voice memo of yourself and email it to us at allsongscomments@gmail.com — and we may feature it on an upcoming episode of All Songs Considered.

Only one song? I have to think about that. I always thought I would leave a mix tape CD with my Will.

Guardians of the Galaxy style. Sweet. Be sure to stash a Vol. 2 in your attic or something as an easter egg to your life.

Well when I die I expect my funeral will be sparsely attended and only by people that what to make sure that I am well and truly dead, my soundtrack will be a 60 minute loop of fart sounds.

My old doctor made sure they played Monty Python's "Always Look at the Bright Side of Life" at his funeral. Thought that was clever.

I want no funeral or memorial, but this'd be a fun farewell:

Having been wrong so many times in my life. I think “Staying Alive” by the BeeGees would be most appropriate.

Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky played really loudly at the end of my funeral. My wife has her marching orders.

When my time comes I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn’t like me can kiss my ass.

Lyrics:

LoveLoveLove
LoveLoveLove

Me & my friend were walking
In the cold light of mourning.
Tears may blind the eyes but the soul is not deceived
In this world even winter ain't what it seems.

Here come the blue skies Here comes springtime.
When the rivers run high & the tears run dry.
When everything that dies.
Shall rise.

LoveLoveLove is stronger than death.
LoveLoveLove is stronger than death.

In our lives we hunger for those we cannot touch.
All the thoughts unuttered & all the feelings unexpressed
Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath.
But, awoken by grief, our spirits speak
"How could you believe that the life within the seed
that grew arms that reached
And a heart that beat.
And lips that smiled
And eyes that cried.
Could ever die?"

Here come the blue skies Here comes springtime.
When the rivers run high & the tears run dry.
When everything that dies.
Shall rise.

LoveLoveLove is stronger than death.
LoveLoveLove is stronger than death.
Shall rise. Shall rise.
Shall rise. Shall rise.

NIN - The Day The Whole World Went Away

I'd listen to the words he'd say
but in his voice I heard decay
the plastic face forced to portray
all the insides left cold and gray
there is a place that still remains
it eats the fear it eats the pain
the sweetest price he'll have to pay
the day the whole world went away

I'll have Owen Wilson saying "Wow" every time someone walks through the door to the service.
