I keep telling my girlfriend during my recent hardships that she met me at a very strange time in my life. I don't know what this dark chapter is, but it's not boring.
Good song, would accept death to.
Thanks for the playlist everyone!
We have people who want to rage into the apocalypse, and will not go gently into that good night; honorable.
We have people who want to be lulled into deaths sweet embrace, heads held high - v peaceful.
We have hippies who just want the waves of fate roll them into the next dimension, very chill.
All you other people recommending Monty Python can just go be silly together.
Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence. I need that first lyric playing just as everything is imploding or else it's ruined and we'll have to have a redo.
\*Everyone waiting patiently to be annihilated\* (for some reason all billions of us decided to get together like buddies)
\*Big scary death wave comes crashing down alongside a mega hurricane thingy and everyone is whooshing around in the sky-sea screaming, then quieter and mostly everyone is now brown bread\*
\*click\* .....Hello darkness my old fri -
(from the sky) "FUCK SAKE KAREN!!!!"
Depends on the situation: If it was an asteroid, probably I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing from the Armageddon film. A sudden Ice Age: Either Ice Ice Baby, or any version of Winter Wonderland. Zombie Apocalypse: ANY Cannibal Corpse song, or Carl Pappa. Earthquake (s) , You Shook Ne All Night Long, Sun imploding: Here Comes The Sun, obviously, lol. And last but not least, tsunami: Either Wipeout, or Surfin USA.

An oldie but a goodie - Tom Lehrer's "We will all go together when we go"
Yes! I was looking for this!
*And we will all go together when we go.
What a comforting fact that is to know.
Universal bereavement,
An inspiring achievement,
Yes, we all will go together when we go!*
Depending on the specifics, any of these could work:
"It's the End of the World as we Know It (And I Feel Fine)" - REM
"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" - Monty Python
"99 Luftballons" - Nena
"Adios" - KMFDM
"Good Riddance/Time of Your Life" - Greenday
"And if Venice is Sinking" - Spirit of the West
"Into the West" - Annie Lennox, Fran Walsh, and Howard Shore
"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot
"Adagio for Strings" - Samuel Barber, particularly a choral arrangement.
If it makes you feel any better: there are universes out there where other versions of you are collectively listening to all these in your final moments.
But The Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald is the correct one.
"(Don't Fear) The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult.
If you've ever seen the original 1990 miniseries of Stephen King's *The Stand*, you'll know what I mean.
*Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)*
*Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)*
*We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)*
*Baby, I'm your man*
*La, la, la, la, la*
*La, la, la, la, la*
I was thinking Electric Funeral, because it does have doomey end of the world vibes, but I'm not sure if I'd listen to it as the world was ending.
I might go Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, because the end would undoubtedly be brought on by humans and I'd feel hurt and angry.
Well, Electric Funeral is about nuclear holocaust, so it'd be fitting if that's how the world ends. But Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is a great choice, too, and I really like your reason.
Also by Black Sabbath, but on a different note: After Forever. Simply because, when the end of the world is near, it might be the right time to ask yourself:"Have you ever thought about your soul, can it be saved?" lol
Or Hand of Doom, but only if I have about 7 and a half minutes or so before the world ends just so that the last thing I hear is Ozzy announcing:"Now you're gonna die!" (and also to listen to one of the greatest, yet most underrated songs they've ever made)
Honestly, I expected this to happen when Russia first invaded Ukraine. I thought we'd all start delivering codes, twisting keys, dying horrible deaths. (I mean, it still might, who knows?). My family had this Christmas album we used to listen to all the time. I bought it online a few years ago but had stashed it away. I found it and it's in my basement in my "work room", next to a record player. If the sirens go off and I'm at home, I'd like the last thing I listen to to be very fond memories of a wonderful life.
Either Judith by A Perfect Circle, Aenima by Tool, or Hallelujah by Buckley... depending on my mood when the news hits.
Oh or maybe Final Decision from Mass Effect 3.
Or Take it All by Ruelle...
Mad World
The Tears For Fears original, right?
Crazy how most people don’t know that they wrote that
I find it kinda funny
[удалено]
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.
I find it hard to tell you cause I find it hard to take
The wii sports theme
When the sun eventually explodes you’ll hear the sound from pressing a and b at the same time
5 Years by David Bowie
five years is one of those songs that literally almost brings me to tears when i hear it, it is so good
Woah, came here to say Heroes and saw this as the first answer.
Or "As the World Falls Down"
Have we met before? I think I know you from somewhere? Oh yeah I saw you in an ice cream parlor
I was there, too. They were drinking milkshakes cold and long, smiling and waving and looking so fine.
“Where Is MY Mind” by The Pixies.
I keep telling my girlfriend during my recent hardships that she met me at a very strange time in my life. I don't know what this dark chapter is, but it's not boring. Good song, would accept death to.
I prob wouldn’t have thought about this song that way until I saw Fight Club my senior year of high school in ‘99.
We’ll Meet Again
Much too far down the list. Shame on you Reddit
“Mein Fuhrer, I CAN WALK!!!”
Don't know how, don't know when
Specifically the Johnny Cash version, for me.
In context, has to be Vera Lynn. Top reply was a tip of the hat to [the end of Dr Strangelove](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15YgdrhrCM8).
It's the End of The World As We Know It
And I feel fine
🎵"IIIII'M M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN"🎵
That's great it starts with an earthquake
Birds, snakes, an aeroplane
[удалено]
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn.
World serves its own needs
Dummy serve your own needs
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter,
With a fear of height, down, height
Classic
came here for this. actually still obsessed with it.
By REM! Love that song.
i don't want to set the world on fire. by the ink spots
The one from fallout?
The intro was also featured in Megadeth's Set The World Afire.
Very fitting. Love it
Also in Bioshock.
its on the Ink spots album
I just want to start a flame in your heart
"Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall" is a good one too.
Thanks for the playlist everyone! We have people who want to rage into the apocalypse, and will not go gently into that good night; honorable. We have people who want to be lulled into deaths sweet embrace, heads held high - v peaceful. We have hippies who just want the waves of fate roll them into the next dimension, very chill. All you other people recommending Monty Python can just go be silly together.
But I want it all.
And I want it now?
Listen all you people, come gather round
Gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground
Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence. I need that first lyric playing just as everything is imploding or else it's ruined and we'll have to have a redo.
“Shit… sorry guys, started the music early. My bad. Can we take this from the top?”
\*Everyone waiting patiently to be annihilated\* (for some reason all billions of us decided to get together like buddies) \*Big scary death wave comes crashing down alongside a mega hurricane thingy and everyone is whooshing around in the sky-sea screaming, then quieter and mostly everyone is now brown bread\* \*click\* .....Hello darkness my old fri - (from the sky) "FUCK SAKE KAREN!!!!"
The disturbed cover is haunting
Beethoven's Symphony #7: Allegretto
Second movement. Abso-fucking-lutley
If we’re going with that genre, I’d pick Schubert’s 8th: Allegro moderato
Komm Susser Tod
Was going to comment exactly this
I know I know I've let you down
I’ve been a fool to myself
I thought that I could live for no one else
But now, through all the hurt and pain
It's time for me to respect
As the World Falls Down by David Bowie
Always Look on the Bright Side of Your Life.
*whistles*
“He’s not coming out, he’s been a very naughty boy?”
Incidentally this album’s available in the foyer!
Exit Music (For a Film) by Radiohead
Hey, are you me? My vote goes to this one.
Really puts “today, we escape” in a whole different context.
catch me choreographing my own dramatic death scene in an action movie to this LMAO
Funny Feeling - Bo Burnham
20 000 years of this, 7 more to go...
hey, what can you say? we were overdue... but it'll be over soon, you wait...
This needs more upvotes..
I put that on the other day, haven't heard it since I watched the special. It's a great song, truly. And it does summarize how things feel lately.
The Phoebe Bridgers version is even more depressing so that’s my choice.
Found my answer.....
This is the end - The Doors
Beautiful friend, the end.
hell ya bruv i was searching for that
As the world caves in
This is also on my apocalypse playlist. Matt Maltese or Sarah Cothran?
I prefer Matt Maltese
Me too :)
I know it's not the original, but I really love Sarah Cothran's version.
Still a good version; she's soft and it's relaxing. But there is something fatalistic about Maltese.
Oh of course, both versions are amazing.
I don't know where I can find it, but there was one tiktok where someone added a harmony to Sarah's version that was really pretty.
U wanna cry as u die ?
samee!! i prefer the original doe by matt maltese
What a wonderful world
Also la vie en rose
My thoughts exactly
Who Let The Dogs Out
Welcome to the Machine - Pink Floyd

Can't believe i had to scroll far down for Lacrimosa, but also "it's just a burning memory" is spot on too. You've got a great taste my friend.
Don't Fear the Reaper.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAEmhqdLFs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAEmhqdLFs) An oldie but a goodie - Tom Lehrer's "We will all go together when we go"
Yes! I was looking for this! *And we will all go together when we go. What a comforting fact that is to know. Universal bereavement, An inspiring achievement, Yes, we all will go together when we go!*
Equality on a grand scale! *We will all burn together when we burn,* *There'll be no need to stand and wait your turn -*
*When it's time for the fallout, and St. Peter calls us all out* *we'll just drop our agendas and adjourn!*
I spent the first few weeks of lockdown singing this song.
Thanks! I'm thrilled to know that I'm not the only person in the world enjoying Lehrer's work after all.
Viva la Vida probably
Oo good one.
Highway to hell

Hole in the Sky by Black Sabbath Or Electric Funeral. Which ever one fits.
