Final Song Album Collection

Have you ever asked yourself what song you'd like to be played at your funeral? Or, more powerful still, what song you'd most like to hear just before you die?

Possibly, no. It's a morbid topic, after all, and many of us try not to dwell upon our certain ends. Imagining one's own funeral is frowned upon – the pastime of egotists and the insecure. And if you're planning your deathbed play list, you hardly want to jinx it – to find your iPod running out of batteries just before your plane goes down, for instance.

But once the question gets under your skin, it's hard to ignore.

Final Song goes to the very heart of music's spiritual dimension by asking a number of musicians to select their ideal last song, either to serenade their final moments or to memorialize them after the fact. The participating artists deserve to be commended for their openness: they're responding to one of the most personal questions one could ask. (Several of those approached declined to take part; taboos are taboos, after all.)
