[Maiaophilia]

I need some songs about death. my friend just lost his brother. Any suggestions?

[Whimsikill]

Soil - System of a Down
Limousine - Brand New

Just the first that came to mind.

[michaela123]

Sledge Hammer Face Lift by Rose Funeral.

lolol

[beazer32]

Hear You Me - JEW
Yesterdays - Switchfoot

[Chromefox]

Isn't that like rubbing it in?

[AloneInTheDark]

Ra Ra Riot - Dying is Fine

[muttley]

Isn't that like rubbing it in?

i was thinking that...
it's probably more of a, "here, you can relate. it'll probably help you out" thing.

New Found Gory-Sonny

PS Sorry about your friend

[makeshiftmind]

The Flatliners - Eulogy

[narcoleptic953]

[_Andrew]

Sarah McLachlan - Angel
Bayside - Winter
The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work
The Smiths - Asleep

Relient K - Deathbed
Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day

[caveBEAR]

Give him a guitar. Loss can make great music.

[recall reality]

Wilco - On and On and On

Beautiful song.

[chipdip18]

Probably the stupidest thread i have ever seen in my life. The last thing he needs is a crappy burned CD about death. Have you ever had someone in your family die? No. You obviously don't know what his needs are right now.

[AndrewIcex]

Funeral For A Friend is good stuff, but I don't know why you really need it?

[Burn That Shit]

Just give him a blow jay.

[shit stroll]

frank turner - "long live the queen"

[friskycurtain]

Senses Fail - Steven

[live.]

What an insensitive assumption.

[more heart]

Just get Armor For Sleep's What To Do When You Are Dead. It's exactly what he needs.

[CarryOn09]

bayside - winter
gaslight anthem - blue jeans and white t-shirts (not a song directly about death but its still a somber one)
saosin - seven years
paramore - brighter
maps - yeah yeah yeahs

im sorry for you and your friends loss.

[Burn That Shit]

Am I the only one that thinks Seven Years is about 1984?

[Cheshire_Buddha]

maps - yeah yeah yeahs

Since when was 'Maps' related to death?

[Duexy]

i would be quicker to agree with this before i'd say it was a song about death

[micahistheballs]

the Smiths- There is a Light That Never Goes Out

[Hey Kevin]

no one goes good with death
silence and being alone

[CarryOn09]

Since when was 'Maps' related to death?
IMO its a song that can go a few ways - one of those ways is someone losing someone they love, to death or a breakup or whatever.

I guess I can see where you're coming from. I've always viewed it just as about being away from the one you loved.

[canezrock11]

Would i be dumb to ask what happened in 1984?

[chipdip18]

Yes, the book.

[live.]

When a friend of ours passed one of my dogs made a tribute video for him using "I Will Follow You Into The Dark"

[Hey Kevin]

Yes, the book.

no the van Halen album

[JinxJinx]

This is NOT a stupid thread. I was looking for the same thing, to make a tribute video. Im using GG Allin "Live Fast Die Fast" Because my friend lead an exciting and reckless life which resulted in an early death. I know he wouldnt want some sappy christian rock about "oh life is so precious blah blah blah" he would want some hardcore punk rock and for his friends to continue on without him. So fuck anyone who says its stupid or insensitive.

Death is a sad thing but its a part of the cycle of life and there is lots of music created to reconcile us with that reality. Afterall, we all die.

If I think of any other good ones I'll let you know.

[georgedcc]

Ha GG Allin, bloody hell. That guy fascinates me. He lived a crazy life.

[agl]

Heres an idea: Don't depress the dude even more with songs about death, try some lighter/hopeful stuff to ease his mood

I'm sorry to hear about your father.

Some really great picks here, especially Explosions. Their music is a religious experience.
