I think this idea is offensive. Do what you wish, but I think your idea of a "final song" is stupid and a waste of energy.

maybe ur right i really dont know it was just on my mind and i thought id ask. The fact that it will never come into fruition is probably true and in that reguard is a waste of time. I just had the idea and was interested in what others would choose and im glad i did really...... ive met some old forgotten and awesome tracks and learnt some new ones. i never ment any harm by it richard

I, for one, will graciously thank my overlords for unknowingly providing the impetus to get an education and thus allowing me to see for myself how small they are compared to everything else that's possible.

FWIW, I also understood your question as a 'desert island' kind of question, Ady.
I would choose Florence and the Machine 'Dog days are over':
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
And i never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the head
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

I agree with Azur Richard. The world ending is not a very 'light' topic, so I don't think it would hurt to simply think of such a scenario. In fact, I would love to 'go' to a sweet song playing in the background.
Having said that, there are so many songs I'd love to listen to in the last moment. Maybe Nocturne no. 2 by Chopin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGRO05WcNDk because I always sense incredible emotions when I listen to it.
or Heaven Only Knows by K-OS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPLQuRTk-oo Because it was the first song I heard that made me think outside the box.
Richard, you might want to think about why you had such a strong emotional reaction to Adys question. Is there something on your mind right now?
That 1812 Overture choice sure put a major grin on my face. I could hear the cymbals, and the guns go BOOM.
Yee Haw, BOOM.!.!.! BOOM.!.!.!
If ya gotta go, might as well go out with a smile, yes, with a good lawn chair for the outdoor concert.
It's just a matter of timing to track that BOOM correctly...
BOOM.!.!.!

I'm torn between Azur's choice (what an excellent one!), Mrs Tigersoaps and Laura's.
So my choice is (I'm not sure if I'm going for irony or symbolism here
) - The Ride of the Valkyries, by Richard Wagner - preferably as loud as possible.

And for a laugh - The Hawaii 5.0 theme (this should be listened too complete with canoe paddling actions) :D

Aaron Copeland's Fanfare For The Common Man

Heard that in my head as clear if I was standing in front of the orchestra, on the shore of Loch Voil watching the sun come up one morning in May, thinking about my brother who died many years ago.
Edit: Azur> Excellent choice. :P
Also making all the hair on my arms stand up at the moment is Murray Gold's "I Am The Doctor"

Okay. It seems like a number of people are showing me a mirror and I should take a good look.Deedlet said:
You are probably right about the emotion. I am trying to find it, but it seems to be very "slippery".
As a matter of fact, I have been thinking about providing for my family if some accident took me away, but I can't find a clear connection.
I apologize for the harsh words. Thanks for the feedback.
