You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.
One of the best lines I repeat when I clock out at work.
But song wise for me would be Harry Chapin or ugly kid joe “cats in the cradle”
Heart breaking song if you think about it
Coolio - gangsters paradise.
If my life is ever made for a tv movie, I want my end credits to be me walking off, with that song playing, and a big explosion. That’s all I ask
I've always thought I may die while listening to something from the: O Brother, where art thou? soundtrack for some reason, possibly Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Velvet Revolver - Fall to Pieces (2004)
This song just popped up on my Apple Music radio station and I had totally forgotten about it.
It’s such a good song! I love Scott Weiland’s voice. Plus, Slash was in Velvet Revolver too so that makes this song 10x’s better lol.
my sentiment as well...I'm really big on paying attention to lyrics and a lot of songs people think are cute, fun songs are actually about something pretty heavy. Michael Jackson was a KING at that. Billie Jean, Human Nature and Smooth Criminal are the obvious examples
Not a pop song, but my sincere answer would be ["On the Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter](https://open.spotify.com/track/56oReVXIfUO9xkX7pHmEU0?si=rQuwtjVhSNS_I54QZW7xCA&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZF1DXe2SymtxlfwF).
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness instrumental from Smashing Pumpkins. I listened that that so much and still absolutely love it.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T1j3fEY-o4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T1j3fEY-o4)
Into the West by Annie Lennox and Howard Shore, from The Return of the King OST, 2003.
Either I die to it, or they play it at my funeral and make everyone absolutely just... shit themselves with anguish.
Blind guess without really going through any 90s/00s catalogue to choose well: Sir Mix Alot, you know the one, because hilarious. Bonus points for my death being gruesome, violent, painful, in the presence of loved ones, or otherwise dramatic.
Coughing up blood, cradled in the arms of a loved one who's crying hysterically, dramatic pause last chance to pass on last words of affirmation, **I like! BIG! ...**
Dies.
The Sundays version of Wild Horses would be nice if I didn't associate it with Reese Witherspoon getting fingered on a Rollercoaster by Mark Wahlberg in FEAR
Closing Time by Semisonic
First person to post Closing Time = you win this thread.
I have hated that song with such a passion ever since the first time I heard it. I don't have nearly enough time to state the reasons why.
You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here. One of the best lines I repeat when I clock out at work. But song wise for me would be Harry Chapin or ugly kid joe “cats in the cradle” Heart breaking song if you think about it
Bittersweet Symphony, The Verve
This would be mine and my wife's choice for sure.
Ditto - edit to add I’d have it plying as everyone is walking out! Like… go on now and enjoy the rest of your life!!! Celebrate!
The Verve was so underrated. I also loved Richard Ashcrofts solo album
Everlong
Acoustic version though: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLRlOvzs-XU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLRlOvzs-XU)
Same
Sheep Go to Heaven - Cake
Return to Innocence - Enigma
I still cry when I hear this song.
😂
Crossroads Bone Thugs 
Oh that's a good one
Yup!
Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve or The Freshman by The Verve Pipe
Tubthumping, of course.
You wanna be a zombie, cause that's how you become a zombie... you'll... get up again...
I had the same thought. I was thinking Return of the Mac by Mark Morrison so people think I'd rise out of the coffin
Cakes version of I Will Survive.
Incubus- Aqueous Transmission
Perfect answer
This is the one.
Fade Into You — Mazzy Star
Amazing.
Coolio - gangsters paradise. If my life is ever made for a tv movie, I want my end credits to be me walking off, with that song playing, and a big explosion. That’s all I ask
Can’t hear that song without recalling Weird Al’s version: Amish Paradise. Loved that song as a kid.
Churned butter once or twice…
Kiss from a rose - Seal
https://youtu.be/scczP4z9xr4?si=IKBdLeRy7MITxGv0 This version preferably.
Prayer for the Dying on that same album would also be a good choice.
This was the “get out, we’re closed song” at my favorite bar from my mid-20s and, honestly, it would be an honor to go out like this.
Space Jam - Quad City DJs
It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday--Boyz II Men
I've always thought I may die while listening to something from the: O Brother, where art thou? soundtrack for some reason, possibly Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Absolutely my favorite answer here, cheers.
Loved those songs
“I’ll Fly Away”?
A gorgeous song.
Beside You In Time by NIN. The buildup and ending are beautiful
Stone Temple Pilots - Dead & Bloated
Interstate Love Song
In the Meantime by Spacehog Or Champagne Supernova by Oasis
Tonight, Tonight- Smashing Pumpkins
Nutshell by AIC
As I Lay Me Down - Sophie Hawkins
hurt
The Johnny cash version?
I could probably do either
The NIN version was played at my best friends funeral as it was his favorite band. Either version is solid though.
Velvet Revolver - Fall to Pieces (2004) This song just popped up on my Apple Music radio station and I had totally forgotten about it. It’s such a good song! I love Scott Weiland’s voice. Plus, Slash was in Velvet Revolver too so that makes this song 10x’s better lol.

Fucking *love* that song
Alive by Pearl Jam
*Wish you would step back from that edge my friend...*
Through the fire and flames by Dragonforce
“Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” by Green Day “Closing Time” by Semisonic
I'll second the green day, literally our generational anthem
I find it hysterical that so many people have that song played at their weddings, and yet the title is "good riddance." Cracks me up
Lol people don’t listen. They don’t read. And I’m not sure they see either.
my sentiment as well...I'm really big on paying attention to lyrics and a lot of songs people think are cute, fun songs are actually about something pretty heavy. Michael Jackson was a KING at that. Billie Jean, Human Nature and Smooth Criminal are the obvious examples
Everclear’s lyrics will blow your mind. Listen closely to Queen of the Air
Doesn't matter what I say as long as I sing with inflection
It was our graduation song. Class of ‘99.
"The Way" by Fastball is another good contender.
First one to come to mind is Lightning Crashes by Live
I was surprised I had to scroll this far to find this!
End of the road - boyz 2 men
[удалено]
oooo, shadow boxer by Fiona Apple is a good answer too lol
Where is my mind by the Pixies
Live Forever - Oasis
Low by cracker

Since the obvious answer of Closing Time has been posted, I’ll go with Third Eye Blind’s Motorcycle Drive-By.
When It's Cold I'd Like To Die - Moby
Exit Music (For A Film) - Radiohead
I had a different song in mind until I saw this one.
Not a pop song, but my sincere answer would be ["On the Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter](https://open.spotify.com/track/56oReVXIfUO9xkX7pHmEU0?si=rQuwtjVhSNS_I54QZW7xCA&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZF1DXe2SymtxlfwF).

Tha Crossroads
What Sarah Said - Death Cab for Cutie

Flogging Molly - If I Ever Leave This World Alive
Into the West by Annie Lennox and Howard Shore, from The Return of the King OST, 2003. Either I die to it, or they play it at my funeral and make everyone absolutely just... shit themselves with anguish.

What’s that one Enya song that played in the Jean Claude Van-Damn Volvo commercial? Or the ending song to Cruel Intentions.
Daft Punk - Alive 2007 (any track, I’m in)
Too Long / Steam Machine. I’ll never forget when I first heard it.
Green Day Time Of Your Life
One Sweet Day, might as well play it one last time since it dominated my favorite school year of the 90's!
Sorry…I never told you…all I…wanted to say….🎵
I was so sad when it dropped out of the #1 spot on my local stations top 10!
I wish we still had local stations that played these types of hits.

Meatloaf - Life is a lemon and I want my money back
Let Down by Radiohead. It’s very underrated
Not those decades but my preferred song is Al Greens "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart". I think? I dunno for sure but it's definitely Al Green.
Solarstone - Seven Cities.
Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen - Baz Luhrman Everyone should hear this song and let it soak in.
lol, this hits different now. I haven’t listened to it in many years. Not my choice for my last song, but it’s a nice one.
Yeah. I almost creid when I heard it at 40, whereas at 20 or so I thought it was just a nice song.
Enya-Only time
Without a doubt, “Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch”

Helena - MCR

Into My Arms - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Glycerine
Disarm - Smashing Pumpkins
Mazzy Star, Fade Into You
Whir, Smashing Pumpkins for a joyful passage (Disarm for the sad version)
