"When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home."
- Tecumseh
When people die, or at least they know that they are dying, they want to have their favorite songs played while they are being mourned. Even though the dead won't be able to listen to it, at least they can bring it to their afterlife.
I don't want to wait for that moment. I want to list down my "Ending Songs". I want these songs to be played while being mourned and while dead body is being brought to its last destination. Anyway, a dead man's wish can't be broken.
So here's a list of what I call my "Ending Songs"...
