What music would be playing when you take the walk towards the light at the end of the tunnel?

I've just been listening to DJ Shadow's 'Blood On the Motorway', and it really evoked images of my own death. Ignoring any potential questions about issues I may have (!), are there any songs that do this for you, or that you would imagine (not necessarily want) soundtracking yr last breaths?

Side point: this hasn't half messed me up when those O2 adverts come on in the cinema.

Eno--"Always Returning"

I kinda hope it's Happy Talk by Captain Sensible.

"The Birdie Song". I'm not being flippant. I just dread it. I know I'm going to die in some ridiculously pathetic way. Probably involving eggs.

If The Birdie Song were to be playing as I died, I have a feeling it would make the entire ordeal a lot easier.

Origin Unknown - Valley of the Shadows

Origin Unknown's "31 Seconds" obviously, because of the sample. Actually, the whole tracks is probably about dying.

"There's that tune on Solid Ether by Nils-Petter Molv¿r",
is what I would've said a couple of years ago. Now I'm not so sure any more.

(Mr. Bungle's)"Goodbye Sober Day" would be thoroughly appropriate, but I think (Miles Davis') "Sssh/Peaceful" would actually be ideal accompaniment.

Joy Division's Atmosphere would be pretty appropriate...

"The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife are Some Jive Ass Slippers" by Charles Mingus because it starts off all dramatic & sad but then quickly becomes all celebratory & fun.

Before I ever heard it, my friend explained Sigur Ros to me as, "The music you hear as you ascend to heaven."

However, when I actually got there, I'd like to hear some Morris Day and the Time.

more like "descend to hell" AFAIC.

for some reason, i'd really like to hear depeche mode's "blasphemous rumours." 'cause i really do think that God's got a sick sense of humor and all that.
