My last stand music would be hauntingly melancholy music, a quiet tribute to the end of life (even going down fighting--I assume my final acts would be in dramatic slow motion). My first thought was that it had to be something by Kate Rusby or Eva Cassidy.

My second thought was Eric Whitacre's "A Boy and a Girl," which sums up life in a three-verse setting of an Octavio Paz poem translation.

I also remembered one of the most moving arrangements of the folk song "Wayfaring Stranger," which I was lucky enough to sing a few years back. One line of text has always captured my attention, "I'm going there to see my father; he said he'd meet me when I come." While my father is still alive and kicking (if seriously balding), that's something he would promise me, and something I'd look forward to in dying.

If'n I had to go in a blaze of non-slow-motion glory, I hope Uematsu's "Other World" from FFX would be playing.
