Name a song about death -by a dead musician GAME
 

The title is obvious. Name a song by a dead person. The song should be about death.

This is depressing.

Satisfied Mind - Jeff Buckley

It's more about money, but it's also about dying with... well, a satisfied mind.

To Live and Die in L.A.- Tupac Shakur

GG Allin - Live Fast Die Fast

"Kindertotenlieder" (Elegies For Departed Children) - Gustav Mahler

Life'll Kill Ya (the whole F*ckin' Album) - Warren Zevon (Requiescat in Pace, that's all she wrote. Miss you, man.)

The End - The Doors (Jim Morrison)

Astrocloud is right, Yussuf Islam, aka Cat Stevens, is still alive, however, if he WAS dead how about, "But I might die tonight"

In my Time of Dying by Led Zeppelin. John Bonham didn't write it, but it's definitely his song.

She Said, She Said - Paul McCartney (with John and George)

"ready to die"
"suicidal thoughts"
"If I should die before I wake"

Biggie Smalls

"I'm sick of *****'s lying, I'm sick of bitches hawkin'
Matter fact, I'm sick of talking... (bang)"

:(

oh, and "My Way" - Frank Sinatra

suicide machine by chuck shuldiner (death)

down in a hole - alice in chains (though only layne is gone)

"Who Wants to Live Forever" - Queen

tupac - god bless the dead

which is eerily about biggie (i think it is, at least), who died after pac did. huh, go figure.

I thought of two more:

Gary Jules: Mad World
Silverchair: Suicidal Dreams

definetly my first thought...

Pennywise - Bro Hymn Tribute

A california punk band. Singer writes this song about a friend dying. Shortly after that the singer himself dies and so his brother takes over as singer. He remakes the song for his brother.

Gary Jules is not dead. Besides, the original Tears for Fears version is better. ;)

eternal life- jeff buckley and no excuses- alice in chains.... how creepy is it when he sings in the song 'you'll find me sitting by myself..' and he died alone and was found like... a couple of weeks later...

Surprised noone said this. Queen Bohemian Rhapsody.

Or, "Who Wants to Live Forever" by Queen.

I was gonna, but i wasn't sure that the song was soley about death. It has a few lyrics about it, sure, but i thought it had to be a whole song.


I said that!

Who sang "don't try suicide nobody cares"?

Change - Blind Melon (Shannon Hoon)

Johnny Was - Bob Marley

Last Kiss - J. Frank Wilson

bonzo's "fucking" montreaux

the man was a genious on the kit...

'NEATH A COLD GRAY TOMB OF STONE -- Hank Williams

-Queen

Questions by INXS (Michael Hutchence)

wow.. I killed Cat Stevens? I wonder where I got that idea..

you got it way wrong the song was written by jason m. thirsk the orginal basist who killed him self, not the singer the singer is jim and the person who took over on the bass is not his brother his name is randy bradbury who played in a band called all day and also was jasons bass teacher

To our best friend, Present past and beyond Even though they weren't with us too long Your life is the most precious thing that we could lose While you were here the fun was neverending Laugh a minute only the beginning Jason (my brother) Matthew Thirsk this one's for you Ever get the feeling you can't go on Just remember whose side it is that you're on You've got friends with you till the end If you're ever in a tough situation we'll be there with no hesitation Brotherhood's our rule that cannot bend When you're feeling too close to the bottom You know who it is you can count on Someone will pick you up again we can conquer anything together All of us are bonded forever if you die I die that's the way it is

Oops. I guess reading is a skill I haven't yet mastered.

Heroin - Velvet Underground

I know Lou Reed isn't dead but the greatest rythm guitarist ever, Sterling Morisson, is dead. And the band itself is pretty much dead...some may dispute about whether or not the song is about death, and of course the lyrics all apply to addiction and heroin itself, but he is saying he has made the decision to nullify his life, it seems like the song is about trying to quit before it takes you over the edge into death. But, if I'm still wrong...

Black Angel's Death Song - Velvet Underground

: )

My first thought was The End - Doors, heh

elliott smith - (insert any elliott smith song)

alice in chains - them bones

Suicide Chump - Frank Zappa

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead - Warren Zevon

Song for a Dead Friend by Kevin Gilbert

I see death around the corner- Tupac

NVM- scratch this one, I spaced about the whole "by a dead musician" thing.......silly me ;)

Joy Division - Isolation (Ian Curtis)
