Title: This Very Second....
Post by: TheBeatlesForever on August 01, 2008, 06:57:09 PM
if you knew that you were going to die soon, and you could only hear one more song by the beatles, what song would you choose. i would probably choose across the universe. what would you choose?

A second is very short.  Based on that cirtieria alone I would have to choose "Her Majesty" so I could hear the most of a song percentage-wise.

Post by: freakchic9 on August 01, 2008, 07:12:43 PM
Either All My Loving or Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End/Her Majesty.

I was just being silly.  I would listen to In My Life and think about the wonderful people that have made my whole life whole.

Within You or Without You...but dying isn't something I like to think about...but that is what I would choose.

i don't like thinking of death either but i was just wondering

Post by: HeatherBoo on August 02, 2008, 12:08:05 AM
I Saw Her Standing There is my favorite Beatle song, but under the circumstances, I might go with Something.  Since it's a slow song and I really love that song.

Hey Jude because it was the first song I really liked

Title: Re: This Very Second....
Post by: colleengirl95 on August 02, 2008, 01:43:32 PM

Revolution 9. But I don't count that as a song, and I don't want you scaring yourself, then dying. So I Want You (She's So Heavy) comes in second.
Title: Re: This Very Second....
Post by: HeatherBoo on August 02, 2008, 06:22:18 PM
Yea Revolution 9 might not be a good death bed song... I Want You (She's So Heavy) is a kind of hypnotic song, so that might be a better choice.
Title: Re: This Very Second....
Post by: TheBeatlesForever on August 02, 2008, 06:32:54 PM
yeah revolution 9 is not really a song, it is just a bunch of people talking. i hate that song or what ever it is

If we include solo songs then Imagine for me.

AHHH HARD... One of those: Good Night, The Inner Light, Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da(So happy song, I don't want sad song.)

For that matter, one could choose to hear the run out groove on Sgt Pepper..........it goes on forever!

"Never could be any other way...."never could be any other way...."never could be any other way...."never could be any other way...."never could be any other way..............."

Revolution #9 so that the dying part wouldnt feel so bad. After a minute of this song, i'd try to kill myself anyways.

ok just forget it lets just get back to the topic of this thread.

Post by: adamzero on August 06, 2008, 02:55:59 AM
I think Tomorrow Never Knows, Let it Be, Across the Universe or Within You Without You would all be suitably serious for my final sendoff into the Spirit World.  At least in thinking about death in the abstract.  But the reality will probably be something more like What Goes On . . . slowly fading out and and winding down like a record player running out of juice.
Title: Re: This Very Second....
Post by: Jane on August 06, 2008, 06:17:18 PM
Nurses! LOL!  ;D Nice continuation!
What about A Long And Winding Road?
Title: Re: This Very Second....

Post by: Octie on August 08, 2008, 09:35:57 AM
Wow... nurses, nurses everywhere! ;D

Maybe I'll go for.... the last song on Ringo's Liverpool 8 album (the one called R U Ready).
It goes "Are you ready to cross over, are you ready to let go? To face the final curtain, in the land of I Don't Know..."
And there's the bit that goes "someone's there to catch you when you're ready to let go"
So... I'd feel reassured and reasonably cheerful :)

But... I'm in no hurry ;D

i would listen to Let it be from the 1 album!  8)
Title: Re: This Very Second....
Post by: fan numero uno on September 14, 2008, 09:17:50 PM
im not sure i would want to listen to a long song, because then i would have time to think about what was about to happen. i would want to listen to whatever my favorite song was, maybe, and as that changes about once a week, i cant write a definite answer.

or i might want to listen to a song that makes me happy, like Good Day Sunshine, cause if you had time for one more emotion, dont you think it should be a good one?

I found Nurse Lucy, and she doesn't wear a lot of diamonds to work.

Post by: fercarv on September 15, 2008, 02:19:18 AM
I think I'd pick I'll Follow The Sun, Here Comes The Sun or maybe I'll Be On My Way (the version from Live at the BBC with the Beatles singing).

If we include solo songs it could be Macca's "End Of The End", George's "All Things Must Pass" or Maybe Ringo's "Fading In Fading Out" or "R U Ready?".

Just out of curiosity... would anyone pick a hard rocker like Helter Skelter? it would be interesting if "I've Got Blisters On My Fingers!" are the last words you hear LOL

Hey Jude.  I don't care what people say, I think that it's the most beautiful song ever.  I definately identify with it and I need more Jude in my life.  Probably if I knew I was going to die soon, I'd still be worrying about my friends!
