My Way - Frank Sinatra. I've always said if I were to follow through on my suicidal ideations I'd do a cover of that as my farewell to my loved ones.
An old Mexican song, Guitarras, Lloren Guitarras., something like Guitars, Cry Oh Guitars. The music is fantastic and it seemed to me he wasn't singing about guitars at all.
Lyrics translation:
Guitarras, lloren guitarras,
Guitars, cry oh guitars
violines lloren igual;
violins you cry as well;
no dejen que yo me vaya
don't let me leave
con el silencio de su cantar.
with your song silenced.
Gritemos a pecho abierto
Let's yell with a full chest
un canto que haga temblar
a song to make tremble
al mundo que es el gran puerto
this world that is the great port
donde unos llegan y otros se van.
where some arrive and others go.
Ahora me toca a mí dejarlas,
Now it's my turn to leave you,
ahora me toca a mi marchar;
now it's my turn to part
guitarras, lloren guitarras
guitars, cry oh guitars
que ahí queda lleno de amor,
that there remains so full of love,
prendido de cada cuerda,
clinging to each string,
llorando a mares mi corazón.
crying oceans, my heart.
This brass band cover of Radiohead - Motion Picture Soundtrack https://youtu.be/ZeI0PXj7LIw?si=BlnYr_o8IfJ9FKy9
Sound of Silence cover by Disturbed
Legit a solid cover.
Edit: lol down voters, have you even listened to it? Definitely thought it was a meme until I heard it too!
Man has the voice of a god.
Thought Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve was the one that played for everyone?
"Don't want to be an american idiot" -Green Day
Afroman - Because I Got High
Or
Dr. Hook - I Got Stoned and I Missed It
Same song in two genres, really.
Videotape - Radiohead
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
'Cause I know today has been the most perfect day
I've ever seen
Hopefully some song that will be written by someone who hasn't been born yet.
Today - Smashing Pumpkins
Baby don’t do it - The Band
But then a mid-credit scene appears showing that it was all a plot and I faked my death, AND IM STILL HERE SUCKERS.
Somewhere In The Between by Streetlight Manifesto. One of my favourite songs for sure.
"So you were born, and that was a good day. Someday you'll die, and that is a shame. But somewhere in the between there's a life of which we all dream. And nothing and no one can ever take that away"
"Well someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end. But we can't just get in line again..."
Monty Python's Flying Circus theme song.

It's been a long road, gettin from there to here... #ent
Dirt in the Ground - Tom Waits
Failing that, either Heaven's Gonna Burn Your Eyes by Thievery Corporation or Hell is Round the Corner by Tricky.
Miss new booty
Drifter in the dark by Ween
Sewerslvt - goodbye
I'd prefer "Beloved" by Mumford & Sons, ideally. Though, I'd need someone to sing it for me, so... probably not. nice to think about though.
Well Done by The Afters
Nothing because no one will be there to experience it. It’s kinda like the tree falling in the forest with no one around to witness it. Fade to black, this hermit bag of meat is gone.
