Title: If You Could Listen To 3 Songs Before You Die What Would They Be? Post by: Newguy562 on February 10, 2012, 03:23:51 PM 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'd also like to do a little something good for someone.

Title: Re: If You Could Listen To 3 Songs Before You Die What Would They Be? Post by: Jukka on June 29, 2012, 03:50:59 AM Oh, The Doors' "Indian Summer" would make a great soundtrack for leaving this world and loved ones behind.

Post by: halblaineisgood on July 06, 2012, 07:36:19 PM ps; good last choice, Care Of Cell 44 is one of my faves. 1: Clair De Lune - Debussy 2: In The Back Of My Mind (instrumental) - The Beach Boys 3: California Girls (instrumental) - The Beach Boys and number 4: Tijuana Taxi - Herb Alpert. Nice list you got there... My picks: 1.Young at Heart/Frank Sinatra 2. Dream/Pied Pipers (Written by the great Johnny Mercer) 3. We'll meet again/Ink spots (I had classical picks in mind for this third slot here, but I'll take a strict interpretation of the song category) Yeah, No drums or rock n' roll on my deathbed. With the sickle of death hanging over me, I just can't imagine enjoying that.... unless, I was smuggled in a brompton caulktail, by a sympathetic nurse. A potent mixture of cocaine, morphine, alcohol and klonopin, this caulktail would give me the strength to rock in my darkest hour!!! I would then prepare an alternate list. Title: Re: If You Could Listen To 3 Songs Before You Die What Would They Be? Post by: MaxL on July 07, 2012, 04:57:11 AM Gonna ammend my choices slightly:
"Birds" - Neil Young "Into the Mystic" - Van Morrison "Doo Wop in Harlem" - Prefab Sprout and close off with the string overdubs of "Don't Talk" Yeah, that oughtta work. If not, break out the closing 3 or 4 tracks to TWGMTR and we're golden (despite the somewhat downer aspect of me being dead). Title: Re: If You Could Listen To 3 Songs Before You Die What Would They Be? Post by: Melt Away on July 07, 2012, 05:45:33 AM King Crimson - Epitaph
Glass Harp - Can you see me? Brian Wilson - Love and Mercy Title: Re: If You Could Listen To 3 Songs Before You Die What Would They Be?
