Recently on Twitter there was quite an interesting discussion about which song (or piece of music) would you like to be the last you hear before departing this life (to wherever we go to afterwards).

[I'll wait to see if there is any interest in this topic first before making my own comments.]

So what would be your choice?

I'd probably go for something really long to string things out a bit.

So criteria would seem to suggest...

Long piece - to drag the inevitable out more
Pastoral piece - to made the passing calm
Favourite piece - to keep the melody rolling around the soul as it departs the mortal coil
Maybe all three - if you're lucky

I'll go with Tarkus live from Welcome Back My Friends live album (CD version that's not cut)
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Some interesting choices so far.

I'd be more than happy to leave this life listening to 'Going Home' by Annie Haslam. [I'd also like that played at my funeral, with 'Great Gig in the Sky' for the committal.]

Dear God.

For my last supper... Filet Mignon (medium), Sea Bass with lemon butter sauce, Jack Stack Barbecue ribs, honey glazed carrots, grilled asparagus, and a cherry malt. Desert would be creme brulee followed by a 200 year old single malt.

If it were today? I wouldn't mind going out to this from Jack Broadbent. "On the Road Again" seems appropriate:
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

To give a serious answer, I think it has to be this for me. It feels like the perfect note to end things on.

A lot of good one's to choose from.

Maybe, Awaken by Yes..   or Love Supreme by John Coltrane.

Actually, when i'm done, i'm done... Why stick around longer than i have to?
