Discussion Will you watch any videos/listen to any music as you CTB?

[Freedom Believer]

I plan on watching some videos to calm me down or give me a last laugh. Also helps block out any potential noises that might happen while unconscious.

 

[SugarbushMtn]

I thought same, maybe a favorite old film or tv episode. Would calm me.

 

[MysticPerception]

I might watch some Bob Ross on my way out actually. Or at least right before I take any SN. He's been my sleep aid for over three years now. I can't get to bed easily without hearing about some happy cloud or some bravery test or what not.

 

[Nuggest]

Some music will be just fine

Might do that as well.

Sounds very nice. Never really watched any Bob Ross, but the few moments I've listened he has a really nice voice.

 

[Fragile]

yes, i'll be listening to my favorite music one last time.

plus i don't want the terrible sound of my tinnitus to be the last thing i hear.

Music to the ears is a nice thing to listen to before you CTB.

 

[BipolarExpat]

Yes, Bob Ross has such a calming effect...



So does John Butler.



And Dick Proenneke.



I'll probably re-listen to some of them working up to it and then some favorite tracks...

Never heard of them, but hopefully it will be a nice exit for you. :)

 

[voyager]

Yes, have thought about a small farewell party. Not sure on the sequence yet. Maybe drink a little, watch some clips I like, some music, then end it on my favourite film and/or some ambient/music on loop. Something like that.

Mhm, have been wondering about that myself. When one ctb one might as well turn up the volume.

 

[BabyYoda]

I'll create a playlist with songs by Linkin Park, Green Day, etc. then I'll watch this video.

 

[throw.me.away]

yeah, I'm torn between making a playlist or just throwing on some jazz before finally catching the bus. Although after reading through this thread a bit, Bob Ross seems like a decent option too.

 

[NeverHungry]

Will most likely just listen to music, if I'm in a situation where I have access to technology.


Probably this song, over and over again. :p

 

[TAW122]

I don't know, it depends on the environment and other variables. I do plan to at least listen to something I enjoy when I choose to CTB, though my tastes in music are rather different from everyone else's. It's gonna more instrumental than lyric or vocals and usually video game/film music than anything.

 

[Midnight-rain]

I have a playlist of songs that I interpret as relating to suicide. It's a work in progress put I know for sure what the last song will be.

 

[silent staring void]

I picked this song a few years ago for ctb. I think that it would be nice to listen to it while dying peacefully, but I'm not sure if it will be so peaceful for me. I'll probably decide what I'd like to listen to spontaneously.

Spoiler

Given the chance
I'll die like a baby
On some far away beach
When the season's over.
Unlikely
I'll be remembered
As the tide brushes sand in my eyes
I'll drift away.
Cast up on a plateau
With only one memory
A single syllable
Oh lie low lie low..........

 

[Nemeshisu]

Yes, I plan making my CTB playlist which will be collection of around 50-60 my favorite songs. But I want songs that fit the theme of peaceful journey or something similiar. A lot of my favorite songs are J-Rock, J-Pop, some Military/Patriotic songs etc. which all don't seem to fit this theme. So my CTB playlist is still work in progress, because I am searching for perfect songs.

I might also watch some Bob Ross after reading this thread to be honest.

 

[Amorphous Blob]

I'll jist be trying same as last couple times; quiet, alone in the dark as ya drift out of consciousness. Found it actually really relaxing

 

[skippingrecords]

yes, i think i'll make a playlist of my favorite artists, maybe watch some youtube videos, have a nice last night. i'll listen/watch while painting one last canvas as a suicide note, then slip away, probably to deja entendu by brand new.

 

[mukluk0713]

Oooh, love the Bob Ross idea. I listened to Bob Ross a lot to get me to sleep before, that would be really calming and relaxing while waiting for the SN to do its thing.

I think I'll try and find some funny videos or a funny TV show like Scrubs or something similar too, I always end up feeling really like mournful when I start thinking and working myself up to it and I think something funny would help me not think so much about it and just enjoy the ride off into sleep.

 

[itsmeagain]

Part of me wants to listen to Ruru's suicide stream (it's a music video on youtube) and the other half of me just wants to listen to something calm and peaceful. It's hard choosing a last song.

 

[ReverendGreen]

I know I'm going to listen to an album but it'll be hard to choose which one since there's so much shit out there I want to hear again before I go
probably will compile a list of the essentials and spend the week before on a marathon through all of them

 

[Throwmyselfaway]

I have a playlist set up and ready to go. It's got a nice mix from different genres. Freebird, don't fear the reaper, my immortal, chasing cars, defy gravity... to name a few

 

[HighwayToHell]

Username checks out

 

[Merith]

Probably Face My Fears by Utada, to be honest

Nice, I love Eno's music.

 

[faust]

I selected N method, so I assume I will fall asleep very fast. Here's the song that is likely to be played when I drink N.



I've been waiting for this time, And now this time has come Those who were silent aren't silent anymore Those who have nothing to wait for, mount their horses You won't catch up with them, it's too late now...

Those who've got nothing to wait for - they take off, Those who are saved, those who are saved...

Sorry for posting it there instead of Music MegaThread

My self it would be music lay down in the dark set the sound just rite and then float of into the stars. As i see i cam out of the darkness mite as well return to it as i leave this world. Any way all ways like the dark it feels like a nice warm blanket wrap around you .
