Something by Limp Bizkit, I wouldn't be too bothered about the situation then.

"Let Me Down Gently" by Spacemen 3.

And then maybe, just maybe, and it's only a maybe, then maybe I won't feel a thing.

mindmeld! looked at thread title & thought "Take Me Somewhere Nice", but then decided "O I Sleep" would be more accurate for dying (ie TMSN for post-death).
(btw this thread proves mogwai=goth haha)

― Ess Kay, Saturday, 3 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mogwai were always goth! Actually, so were Slint. ;-)

If that was an insult, you've failed. Indeed, I heartily agree, and I love the guys to death! ;-)

ADAGIO FOR STRINGS composed by Samuel Barber performed by an orchestra of beautifully intelligent and impeccably dressed women, with their hair up and their glasses on , tears in their eyes. as I lay dying, I would wish that one of the ladies would walk up to my deathbed, let her hair down and read "The Clumpets Go Sailing" in a soft and soothing voice. And then I die....

""Slush" by the Bonzo Dog Band "....

I'd like to hear Lull. Or maybe Plotkin's JOY OF DISEASE, all that whispering and whirling and calling me to whatever beyond awaits.

Sarcastic Answer: "Its Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding" - Bob Dylan
Cheesy Answer: "Rock and Roll Suicide" - David Bowie
Real Answer: Classical Music. I'm not sure why, but that answer feels right.
