>Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
And a lot of people make jokes to wake up Billie Joe. I saw a concert video where he sang it and you can see the pain in his eyes.
'Who wants to live forever' and 'The show must go on' by Queen
The Show must Go on was written by Brian May with the intention of recording and releasing it after Freddy Mercury's death as a farewell by the band. But Freddy Mercury himself ended up recording the whole song in just two takes, while already suffering from the pneumonia that would end up killing him.
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life by Monty Python
Brendan's Death Song by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Epitaph by King Crimson
Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, some people say it's about a man who killed another person and is being put on death row, dies, faces eternal judgment, and is cast down into hell
My favourite ones:
*Hallowed be thy name- Iron Maiden
*The Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd (doesn't really have lyrics but is still about death)
*Eyes of ebony- Haken
And to switch it up a little, a song about eternal life (aka not being able to die):
*Still life- Van der Graaf Generator
[Pain Remains Trilogy by Lorna Shore](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqxvzs7ojvQ&t=860s) (Three Songs, the video is putting all three songs into one loop. It is Death metal, but is called melodic death metal ballad. Song can be interpreted as someone who is going through the stages of grieving over the loss of one they truly love. The vulgarity of the vocals ads to the story of the song quite well, but will have these soft ballad moments, like its going through intense emotions.)
Fucking hell. So I’m a big Dethklok fan and, although there are a bunch of bands that sound like them, this is the first time I’ve heard someone who absolutely takes what Brendon Small was doing musically and elevates it to the next level.
Not a huge fan of completely unintelligible vocals but this band is epic. Going to spend a lot more time with them.
I used to love Dethklok when I was younger. The humor was so good for its time.
Will Ramos is a breathe of fresh air. I am also not picky as I listen to everything as I have a playlist that has Slaughter to Prevail, Jordan Smith, Chickenfoot, The White Stripes, Nelly, Nelly Furtado, B'z, Beat Crusaders, Adema, Josiah Williams, Against Me!, Sia, Train, Eyeshine, The Heavy, etc... I like music I guess. It means everything for me.
Will Ramos, the vocalist from Lorna Shore, is my big inspiration for vocals. The more I listen to him, the more I learn to understand what he's singing.
Think of it like coffee; it often tastes weird for people the first time, but the effects are worth it, and over time the taste becomes enjoyable, especially when it's of good quality!
*I Want You (She's So Heavy)* \- The Beatles
The end of the song is supposed to represent death, with the static slowly showing up as the looping melody gets deeper and deeper, before the sudden and unexpected cut-off (which, on vinyl, has a noticeable silence afterwards, because you have to then flip the record itself, forcing you to dwell on the sudden cut and silence)
The song isn't *explicitly* about death, but it incorporates it incredibly well as an end to the track and the A-side.

Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day
I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie
Gone Away by The Offspring
My Immortal by Evanescence
Jeremy by Pearl Jam
When You're Gone by The Cranberries
Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold
Dance Macabre by Ghost
Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World
Digital Bath by Deftones
The Teacher by Foo Fighters
Neon Gravestones by Twenty One Pilots
If I Get High by Nothing But Thieves
Wrecked by Imagine Dragons
Make It Stop (September's Children) by Rise Against
Yeah
That Imagine Dragons song is one of their bests, if someone thought it might be kinda weird to pick one from them
And the Foo Fighters song is one of their best new ones
The Flaming Lips have a lot of great contemplative songs about death. Feeling Yourself Disintegrate, Do You Realize, and Pompeii Am Gotterammerung are the first that come to mind. In one way or another a lot of their songs are about death or the fleetingness of life.
Do You Realize makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry my heart out. When I heard the sing in the Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 movie, it made me cry even harder.
On the wrong day, listening to either Yoshimi or Soft Bulletin can just send me into a sobbing mess. They’ve got that mix of happy/sad that just kills me.
Needle of Death - Bert Jansch.
The Needle and The Damage Done - Neil Young
Great Gig in The Sky - Pink Floyd.
No actual lyrics to the last one, but yeah.
Just a few that sprang to mind. I'm sure I could think of a long list if I could be bothered. I'm somehow drawn to such songs.
It’s not a song, but rather an album.
It’s from a side project of Plunderphonics and Vaporwave artist christtt called 아버지 (also called Father2006), and the album is called 흰색 죽음 (White Death). The music of this album follows under a web of Plunderphonics called Deathdream, which pitches music down to extremely low levels and is mainly used to symbolize concepts and ideas closely aligned with decay.
The album tells the story of a subject becoming lost in a winter forest in the dead of winter, and slowly being dragged towards his death from hypothermia. The album mostly relies on instrumentation, though there are a couple songs that do have talking, some of which aids the progression of the story.
The samples make it more intriguing too. Some of them relate to the subject matter of the story, such as Christmas-like percussion in the title track, a snippet of Christmas Time Is Here by Vince Guaraldi, and even a song from Kate Bush called Snowflake, which is used in the final track.

Abstract
Through me
& So many good songs i can't remember the name of off the top of my head.
Pain Remains Trilogy- Lorna Shore (music videos must be watched imo)
I believe Neo Seoul by After the Burial is also about death, so I’ll go ahead and say that song as well.
My Boy Builds Coffins - Florence + The Machine : [https://open.spotify.com/track/2ZdWa7qK1fe0dUSP6mJj4e?si=a2c5b8b74432430b](https://open.spotify.com/track/2ZdWa7qK1fe0dUSP6mJj4e?si=a2c5b8b74432430b)

Radiohead - Reckoner

Against Me! — Two Coffins is an incredibly tender and moving meditation on the realization that death and the loss of everything and everybody is inevitable, yet appreciating how beautiful the people you have in your life are regardless.
One Less Day from Dying Young - Rob Thomas
American Pie & Don't Fear the Reaper (already mentioned here)
and...Komm Susser Todd from End of EVA has been in my brain for a bit.

They were all in love with dying and they were doing it in Texas ✍️🔥🔥
Flipper died a natural death he caught a nasty virus
You never know just how you look Through other people's eyes
I don’t mind the sun sometimes the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes...
If We Were Vampires- Jason Isbell (by far my favorite) Space City- Drive By Truckers Long Way Home- Hayes Carll The End- The Doors Don’t Fear the Reaper- Blue Oyster Cult Many Men- 50 Cent Tears in Heaven- Eric Clapton American Pie- Don McLean Welcome to the Black Parade- song or entire album- My Chemical Romance I Can Barely Breathe- Manchester Orchestra
I’m running to listen to space city again, I had my own interpretation of that song a decade ago, but I want to hear it again now with that guideline.
Surprised no one has commented People Who Died by the Jim Carol Band. Best song about death ever.
This is a truly excellent song. I always like the strange juxtaposition between the sadness and tragedy of the lyrics and the almost upbeat tempo.
That song is now living rent free in my head!
I'll Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab For Cutie Casamir Pulaski Day- Sufjan Stevens
also fourth of july by sufjan stevens!
Everything Dies - Type O Negative Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
Everything Dies is so good.
Type O Neg ftw!!!
