What song do you want to listen to during/before you ctb?

[february in alaska]

Music has been such a comfort for me my entire life, and I feel like I'll really need it to feel less alone when I go. I'm having trouble choosing just one. I'm curious what songs other people would choose and for what reasons.

Right now I'm personally deciding between Sufjan Steven's Fourth of July, Cavetown's This is Home, To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra, Thank You by Dido, or an ethereal edit of Clair de Lune. Those are songs that just hit me in the gut with comfort every time. It's kind of cringe and sappy, but I figure I get to be cringe and sappy when it comes to my final moments, haha

Anyone else plan on music or no? I'm interested what the reason is if people won't want to listen to anything, too

I love those songs! But yeah probably just Lucky Man by The Verve and before that can be Today by The Smashing Pumpkins

 

[viljalauss]

out of those songs i really like this is home <33 i don't listen to cavetown a whole lot but as a trans man* that song does resonate with me and helps me sort of escape into a world where i feel welcome, at least for a moment. generally i very much gravitate towards music, as it's what got me through my life thus far. personal choices include heilung, specifically tenet and othan (because of how it wishes for my friends to heal and be fine) and sólin mun skína by sigur rós. i wanna both be comforted and comfort when i go. i wanna believe others can be comforted when i go, because i've experienced the same. also cringe culture is dead, listen to whatever comforts you. you deserve it whether you go or not.

Thank You by Dido

I've had a "funeral playlist" for awhile, and had Thank You by Dido on it too! I felt my playlist was too long though, so I started trimming it down.

Right now there's only two songs I've decided to keep on the list:

Spoiler: Play this at my funeral

It's subject to change, but I think these songs hold the most meaning to me personally.

[passivethought121]

Misery Loves - Whitewood
I Dropped Out - And The Kids
Instutitonalized - Suicidal Tendencies
Get There - boa

Current CTB playlist

 

[Dr. Henjin]

Suicide by Get Set Go really doesn't feel like it's demonizing CTB and actually calls it like it is and makes it a more peaceful happy thing so I figured I'll just put that on and hopefully by the first chorus I'll be unconscious.

 

[One day too late]

Mazzy Star - Look On Down From The Bridge

 

[viljalauss]

my full 'play this at my funeral' (distinct from ctb playlist) https://spotify.link/08dN73GWmDb

 

[Lullaby]

I love In Rainbows. I actually came in here to post another song from that album. I can't listen to this without crying, but its the only song I could see myself going to.

 

[Miss Anthropy]

Death Cab For Cutie.....I Follow You Into The Dark

 

[idonthaveanother]

I will have a PA blasting the following songs on repeat, during and after ctb: Oneness by Distance and Suicide Note by Mesck.

 

[Solo]

Some juice wrld should suffice

 

[alivefornow]

Endtime by Katatonia

 

[JordanF]

Sounds burn my ears a lot, which is why I'm commiting suicide. The last song I was obsessed with before getting this condition was "Demon of the Fall" by Opeth.

It's death metal, but it's sad and creepy instead of 'angry' or 'horrifying'. It's unlike anything that I've heard before and I was obsessed with it. I'm going to let my ears burn and enjoy music one last time.

I plan on listening to music. Tbh I actually have a whole playlist to listen too. I originally wanted to do it by falling but then realized I wouldn't be able to finish my songs if I did that. So I'm thinking of getting a vr and putting on a falling thing or something while taking some substances that will kill me but give me enough time to finish my playlist.

I also really love cavetown but the song I've been listening too alot lately is still no dead by American teeth

 

[plastic_melter]

deadmau5 - Bleed

 

[Bacon and Baseball]

The Verve "Bittersweet Symphony" seems like a good one. Maybe a little Breakfast Club soundtrack "Dont Forget about me" by Simple Minds

 

[cosifantutti]

Maybe it's because I'm knocking on.

I have no intention of music or any other effects. I see ctb as a job to get done. I don't see any 'romance' in it.

I think that one day I'll ctb and I think it will be brutal and without any solace.

Not that I think other peoples views are wrong. I think I'm just quite jaded by life.

 

[renrone]

It's always changing, really, but I'd listen to my love mine all mine from mitski's new album, genesis by grimes (sped up), or duvet by boa. Anything calming works, I want to feel at peace when I ctb.

Edit: I don't know why it is age-restricted and only allowed to see on Youtube. Here is another link.

I heard two other people had CTB after listening to this song, so it has made this song more meaningful to me. I would like to join them in the afterlife someday.

 

[avaruus]

There's many songs that i have thought about listening to when i'm doing it, but i think this is the most neutral, least distracting, calming and most fitting.

 

[FuneralCry]

As I've mentioned in other similar threads if I had to choose some music it'd be Funeral Cry by Dark Sanctuary, the music is about wishing for death after all.

 

[mnemosyne]

ive always wanted to ctb to owari no uta from glt or everywhere at the end of the end of time

 

[XenoPyo]

Ive always loved video games so Ill go with Zelda Fairy Fountain theme.

 

[swagattack]

My go to songs will be earth song, videotape and one more light

 

[Ruma]

Anything by My Chemical Romance,perhaps Helena!
