Glosoli - Sigur Ros. i think i could die happy if that song was playing. actually i could do anything happy, murder babies, kill puppies, shoot my grandma. . . as long as sigur ros is playing there is absolutely no chance of feeling sad.

Oh, I get it -- you misspelled "dyeing."
Good music for tie-dyeing a T-shirt would be something fairly far-out -- perhaps some Tangerine Dream.
Good music for dyeing my hair would be "Outrageous" by Paul Simon:

I'm tired, tired, anybody care what I say? NO! Painting my hair the colour of mud. Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Good music for a funeral, however, would be "Here In Heaven" by Sparks:
 Here, there are lots of things to do And a panoramic view Of the universe completely surrounding you and me You cannot buy souvenirs You're never going back, never, never Basically, I guess it could be worse Yes, I do suppose it could be worse Here, there are many, many sheep And the people only sleep And awake to tell how gory and gruesome was their end And I don't have many friends And it's really very clean and I'm thinking Juliet, you broke our little pact Juliet, I'm never coming back Up here in Heaven without you I'm here in Heaven without you Up here in Heaven without you It is Hell knowing that your health will keep you out of here For years and years and years ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?

On itself a good choice but I guess you missed the point Drew was making with this one hour song
 .I myself would pick either The Odyssey by Symphony X or Monsters & Men by The Flower Kings if I had to go for the best. If I had to pick a suitable one I would take Another Day by Dream Theater.

Well, A change of Seasons by DT... It's long enough to give 23 more minutes of life, and also, at the end it brings like a sense of closing... it would be a good departure.... anyway, it's my favorite song ever so that would be the primary reason... -------------

| Jacob's Ladder by Rush would certainly fit the bill, being that it's very dark and one of my favorite songs of all time. On the other and more uplifting hand I think Silently Falling by Chris Squire would be a good choice, as that's always been an emotional tune for me. |

I'd like to slow down the process, so how about Yardbirds' Train Kept a Rollin'?

I would choose "Bleak, Uncertain, Beautiful" by GYBE!, which is on the vinyl version of F#A#infinity. There's a locked groove at the end, so in theory I'd live forever as long as the needle was lifted.
If you wanted a serious answer, I'd probably choose "Wings for Marie" by Tool. -------------

It would easily be "A Day in the Life" on the original Sgt. Pepper's vinyl. That way I'd live until I took the needle off . Barring any songs that would make me live as long as I wanted, it would be Supper's Ready. Or a peaceful song like Starálfur by Sigur Ros, Prelude: Song of the Gulls by King Crimson, or any number of The Flower Kings' songs along the lines of The Navigator. Actually, "Theme for a Hero" by TFK. Well, after quickly browsing through a couple thousand songs, I've discovered how extremely indecisive I am. |
