Song to Die to

My best friend since college (other than my husband) has been dealing with her sister's recent diagnosis of brain cancer. This is her second cancer and despite the chemo and radiation will most likely be terminal. Very heavy stuff. But my darling friend is staying strong through this - providing support to he family often to the detriment of her own sanity and health. Stress takes a toll. That said, she has a friend who also has a sister that is dying - only this death is a matter of days and hours not years. So she started making song recommendations for this sister to listen to while in hospice care. I though the idea of a soundtrack for death makes a lot of sense. We have had mixed tapes or now playlists for all of our major roadtrips and life events. So I need ideas of songs to die to. I will start the list. I am doing this alphabetically by artist. The mix itself will have to be better thought out. AFI: Girls Not Grey (Davey Havok will be so proud to be on this list! And to be fair, Sing the Sorrow will make you wish you were dead if you listen to it all the way through) Airborne Toxic Event: Does this Mean You're Moving On Alkaline Trio: I'm Dying Tommorrow Alkaline Trio: Live Yound, Die Fast (from Agony and Irony) Alkaline Trio: Mercy Me (from Crimson) (There are a ton of Alkaline Trio songs that are really appropriate, but I won't list all of them, just a select few. I will limit myself to three. Seriously, you could just pick any album to die to) Beastie Boys: Bodhisattva Vow (from Ill Communication) Beastie Boys: Intergalactic (Hello Nasty) BoB: So Hard to Breathe (Strange Clouds) Concrete Blonde: Walking in London David Bowie: Ashes to Ashes Everclear: So Much for the Afterglow Fall Out Boy: Calm Before the Storm Incubus: Stellar Jezabels: Into the Ink Jimmy Eat World: My Sundown (Bleed American) The Lawrence Arms: Necrotism Metric: Help I'm Alive MGMT: Love Always Remains Motion City Soundtrack: Fell Like Rain My Chemical Romance: The End New Pornographers: Go Places No Doubt (TaLk Talk Remix): It's My Life Panic at the Disco: She Had the World (Pretty. Odd) Peter Shilling: Major Tom The Pogues: Streets of Sorrow Polyphonic Spree: Its The Sun Stars: Winter Bones (Five Ghosts) Thin Lizzy: Sun Goes Down Tori Amos: Winter This list will be a work in progress of course. My next song list will be songs for chemo. I think a playlist for undergoing chemotherapy would be important to have on hand. Dropkick Murpheys The Warrior's Code will definitely be on that list and Jezabels She's So Hard.
