a little death makes life more meaningful

"If I knew I was going to die at a specific moment in the future, it would be nice to be able to control what song I was listening to; this is why I always bring my iPod on airplanes." -Chuck Klosterman

I'm currently reading Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story by this man, and this quote obviously stuck out to me. This is brilliant and also true. I'm always making soundtracks for my day/weekend/lifetime, and it prompted me to think about death. What song WOULD I want playing when I die? Well, this of course depends on so many things, but I ultimately decided on one. I also decided on a soundtrack, in general, for my life*, (this latter idea was stolen from a Facebook note from many years ago).

So, back to the original reason for posting: the song to be played while I die--this is one my favorite Brand New songs. It's a bit sad, but most of the time dying is. Best lyric:

And I can't use the telephone, to tell you that I'm dead and gone...

so you won't know, (i'm gone, i'm gone), no you won't know.

What would your soundtrack sound like?
