5 Songs Before You Die - the morbid music meme

[emchy]

you were in a horrible accident luckily for you you will live long enough to listen to 5 songs on your ipod before you die - what do you listen to?

1. Deanna - acoustic version, Nick Cave
2. The Gates / Take Me to the Water, Mark Growden
3. St James Infirmary, Traditional
4. Start Wearing Purple, Gogol Bordello
5. Soul Eyes, John Coltrane (tied with 2am, Jason Webley)

5. Green Grass - Tom Waits
4. Atom Heart Mother Suite - Pink Floyd
3. Horn - Nick Drake
2. Easy/Lucky/Free - Bright Eyes
1. Blackbird - The Beatles

This list is heavily influenced by the idea that I'd want to prepare myself for death with peaceful/thoughtful songs that might help me make a more graceful exit.

Now, if I was about to die in a plane hurdling toward the ground, I might choose some Credence. :)
