I have been thinking alot about my final “playlist” — songs that emphatically speak to my despair and support my decision to die. Here are a few: Eddie Vedder’s entire “Into the Wild” soundtrack; “Find the River” “Aftermath,” “Try Not to Breathe” and of course “Its The End of the World As We Know It” from Michael Stipe and REM. Jeff Buckley or KD Lang’s “Hallelujah” open to all styles and motifs, but wonder what other folks have as their misery songs.

I’ve turned into such an emo ******, I do this too. Sea Song by Doves is my favourite song about suicide (actually I’m not sure if this song really is about suicide or not, I just interpret it as such). Free As A Bird and Nowhere Man by The Beatles are also two other of my “misery songs”.
