If You Could Listen To 3 Songs Before You Die What Would They Be?

[Newguy562]

I have so many favorites but i picked these songs for obvious reasons. ..then again in an hour i'll change songs because I know too many just to be happy with 3 forever.  What would your 3 be? & What do you think of my top 3 songs?

1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t2VSB5EJxc (Something soothing/mellow to relax myself.)
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odJuNyfteQg (I would skip the verses  & go to the chorus.)
3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0s7zqYF8NU (Something positive that would cheer me up.)

[I. Spaceman]

1. Thank You Friends - Big Star
2. That's Life - Frank Sinatra
3. Porpoise Song - The Monkees

[BananaLouie]

And When I Die - Blood Sweat and Tears, for a song about death it's upbeat!

Sweetness Follows - R.E.M., not so upbeat

Have you heard Laura Nyro's original version of And When I Die? If not, I'd recommend it.

I have and it's as brilliant as one would expect from her, she's penned many classic songs, truly an exceptional talent.

[SBonilla]

If you're talking a death is just around the coroner scenario, I won't waste my time listening to songs; I'll be writing 'em. I'd also like to do a little something good for someone.

Ok what genre of music would you do then?

Find them! California Girls instrumental is on the Stack-O-Tracks album (that's the final song I want to hear before I cease to exist). ITBOMM instrumental is on a few boots....probably the greatest piece of music I've ever heard in my life.

i heard the california girls instrumental :] it amazes me how the beach boys created it...i really feel like it's been over-looked as just a hit it's a beautiful piece of music!
and in the back of my mind :] as much as i love dennis's singing on it i wonder what brian would've sounded like on it.
i love it too it shows that brian was definitely blossoming into a composer like his idol phil spector...

[feelflows]

1. "Gypsy" - Fleetwood Mac
2. "12:30 (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon)" - the Mamas & the Papas
3. "God Only Knows"

[MaxL]

"Into the Mystic" - Van Morrison
"Pearly Gates" - Prefab Sprout
And I'm gonna have to concur with the "California Girls" instrumental.

[Newguy562]

I'm checking out all these songs why do you guys pick these songs though?

[hypehat]

I'd pick

Be My Baby (Perfect song)
True Love Will Find You In The End - Daniel Johnston. (Also perfect)

And As Slow As Possible by John Cage, because it lasts 639 years 

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

To be an ass, My song "Watercolours"

It's just that kind of song, where you see the "coming of age to a finale" kind of thing.
