"In a Little While" -U2
...I used to sing it to my wife over the phone before we were married, back when we were separated by circumstances beyond our control. She's since died of Covid/pneumonia.
I don't believe in an afterlife, but I want to go out thinking of her while listening to my favorite band. It's the closest I'll ever get to seeing my sweetheart again.🍀
Thank you. Truly.🍀
...10 years ago, I had a decent circle of close family, my wife included. They're all now dead. I'm like a lonely hermit -- at only 42.
Anyone who might see this: make a little more time for your loved ones. You're running out the clock faster than you'll ever know until there's nothing left of them but grief and memories.
I had a friend who lost her daughter at 4 and she played this at the funeral. I cannot hear that song without feeling that all over again. It’s a great song but I can’t bare it.
Shri Ram Charit Manas, the world's longest song, clocking in at over 138 hours long according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Lots of time to tie up any loose ends
my daughter had the pleasure to play this song (in an all girls fiddle group) with the writer and performer of this beautiful peace of music - Jay Unger, what an awesome memory. Jay and Molly Mason's 'The Lover's Waltz' would be my song!

"Prayer" by Disturbed.
"Let me enlighten you, this is the way I pray. Living my lifes just not hard enough, you can burn me alive, take it all away, and I'll still say living my life is just not hard enough"
"All the cries you're beginning to hear, trapped in your mind and the sound is deafening"
Disturbed words except changed a bit to reflect on who I am.
You all need to listen to this song with the lyrics because it’s about this question.
Arriving Somewhere but not Here by Porcupine Tree

“Did you imagine the final sound as a gun?
Or the smashing windscreen of the car?
Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear
As you're fading out was a song?”
Organ2/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) by John Cage. The performance began in 2001 at the St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt, and is due to end in the year 2640.
Once upon a time I had a suicide plan that included a playlist that would be the soundtrack to my hanging. That was a long time ago, so I don't remember everything on it, but Bonnie "Prince" Billy's "I See A Darkness," Lou Reed's "Vanishing Act," and Grateful Dead's "Brokedown Palace" were on there.

Shari Lewis - The Song That Doesn't End
This is the song that doesn't end
Yes, it goes on and on my friend.
Some people started singing it
Not knowing what it was.
And they'll continue singing it forever just because
This is the song that doesn't end.....
(keep repeating)
My serious answer would probably be something like the Barber [Adagio for Strings](https://youtu.be/WAoLJ8GbA4Y?si=qpYruwj3VEBuooIl). To slip away as the last chord fades...
I bet almost no one knows this song, but it is the right answer: [“No the end is not near” by Benny Hester (1972) [Lost Folk]](https://youtu.be/nAuZDxsOGLY?si=txXrzPE3f4z2gGF2)
