- Bad Religion - We're Only Gonna Die - How Could Hell Be Any Worse
- Destroy All Monsters - You're Gonna Die - Bored
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Thanks, guys--I've listened to and downloaded a lot of these.
I kinda wanna stick "We're Only Gonna Die", "You're Gonna Die", "We're all Going to Die", "We're All Gonna Die" and "I'm Gonna Die" all together in the playlist, but I'm not sure if that'll work.
The Vic Chesnutt song is just lovely. I like "25 Minutes To Go" but I'm not sure that'll work here.
Anyone listen to the Future Wife song I linked to? I think that's my obsession song of the moment.
Amy, I can post "Feed the Tree" to Buffistarawk if you want.
I'm not sure if I remember how to get in there, but sure! Thanks.
How about Oingo Boingo's "No One Lives Forever"? [link]
I don't know where to find, and I can't suggest albums. And nothing that I can think of really fits in that playlist musically. But
BeeGees -- I've Got to Get a Message to You
Tom Jones or Porter Wagoner -- Green Green Grass of Home
Charlie Louvin -- Will You Visit Me on Sunday
I suspect most of the "dead girl/boyfriend" songs of the early '60s wouldn't fit, but I really suggest you check out the truly twisted
Jimmy Cross -- I Want My Baby Back
Does "soldier going to war, realizes he might not come back alive" qualify? If so
Jim Reeves -- Distant Drums
And I might as well go there. For contemplating -- or at least anticipating -- your own death, as a pop-oriented music lover of a certain age, I have to mention
Terry Jacks -- Seasons in the Sun
Oh, "Seasons in the Sun." God, I loved that song. Then there was "Shannon," which was about a guy's dog dying, if I remember correctly.
Oh, good grief, David Geddes, "Blind Man in the Bleachers." Cheap sentimental tearjerker, but so very, very effective.
Terry Jacks -- Seasons in the Sun
That was the very first one that came to my mind. Maybe also Dire Straits, "Brothers In Arms". Oh, and also their song from the same album, "The Man's Too Strong".
I'm not sure if I remember how to get in there, but sure! Thanks.
I uploaded it to:
[redacted]
I discovered that my .mp3 of Feed the Tree was 15 years old and 128 kbps. I uploaded that one and then managed to find the CD, so I uploaded it again at 203 kbps VBR.
Amy, let me know when you see this and I'll redact the account into.
