Let's start the week on a cheery note -- songs about Death! (Maybe second only to Love as a song subject)

[Hoops66]

From the Civil War this song tells a story with, of course, a somber ending.

 

[meyers7]

Inspired (about?) by the loss of E Street Band members Danny Federici and Clarence Clemons. (released in 2020)

Ghosts - Bruce Springsteen

 

[JavaMan]

I heard this several times before the lyrics soaked in. This was obviously before the birth of her baby whose name is unpronounceable.

From a Celtic Rock Band about a Canadian fiddler.

Death Of Johnny Mooring - Enter The Haggis

 

[JavaMan]

Another by Enter The Haggis......they seem to write a lot about death.


Let Me Go - ETH

 

[JavaMan]

 

[Sifaka]

An older women preparing to die.

Big White Gate - Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

 

[nwhoopfan]

This song contains a bad word...repeated over and over. You've been warned!

If the Dropkick Murphys sing a song about dying, of course it's going to turn into a ragin' party.

[CL82]

And when I die and when I'm gone,
There'll be one child born in this world to carry on,
to carry on.

 

[CL82]

Love this song, but it is about a break up not death.

Not sure it is about death, but it feels like it.
