What song plays when you die?

[Bonkers4Bacon]

I stole this from Reddit* but I like it a lot. So to quote the actual question, "You are dead. Everything goes to black. The credits roll. What song plays?" I think its a great question and can spark some serious and interesting discussion. What song defines you as a person or the life you lead and why? What song can you relate with the most?

For me, its "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. My parents raised me on basic principles and I have grown into a simple man. They didn't stress me to be simple, per se, they just wanted me to value the important things in life and let everything else fall in its place. I don't stress over much, my mind isn't complex, I'm easy going, I don't have any radical opinions or principles, and I go at my own pace. It isn't the "sexy" lifestyle but thats not at all what I desire. I'm a simple man.

Holes in the floor of heaven by Steve Wariner because my kids are my life and I'd want them to know that I'm still there even when I'm gone... what a sad topic though!!!

Although this is maybe right before I die, like, during the end of the battle.

I'll go out with an old classic. Johnny Cash singing 'We'll meet again'.

I'm guessing he'll have nothing better to do at the moment.

Jerusalem!

But I cannot imagine it being heard over all the anguish cries from the women.

In your case shouldn't it be Rod Stewart's "The First Cut is the Deepest"?

This is going to be like lovemachine refusing to drive his jeep in the snow, isn't it?
