Are you the bereaved?

Ok, I totally stole this from a message board, but I thought it was a worthy topic. The question:

What Song/Album would you commit suicide to?

Yeah I know it's kind of a depressing topic but it was very interesting. There are many things to take into account. It's different from what is your favorite album because it being the last one you hear makes it special, it is also possible that you would want to say something with your last selection. Perhaps you might want something that would put you in the mood, so to speak. I cheated (because I can) so I have a couple of selections, both Rock and Classical.

I must say that I had a really hard time picking some of these, I guess I thought I listened to more depressing music than I really do.

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile - both discs ending with the song "Ripe (with Decay)"

Pink Floyd - The Wall

And being cliche, but unable to make an argument against it...
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

As for the ones that the rest of you don't know, I found these much more easy to pick. I debated about whether or not to include explanations with them, but I did. If any of you would like to experience the music first and later hear the explanation I'd advise you to skip the explanation. Enough stalling:

Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 6 "Pathetique" - Tchaikovsky's last three Symphonies all deal with Fate and a person's reaction to Fate. In the 4th, there is a triumph over Fate. The 5th describes acceptance of Fate. His final 6th Symphony is a battle against Fate that you do not win. The result being that you can not escape and you are doomed to your fate

Mahler - Symphony No. 9 - Mahler became one of my favorite composers and this Symphony was the first piece I heard by him and it is still my favorite. This piece is interesting from a purely historical/technical standpoint but I'll leave that lesson for another day. If the 4th movement isn't enough to depress you, perhaps this fact will. While he was writing this Symphony his daughter died, if that wasn't enough, Mahler was diagnosed with a heart condition so he knew that he was going to die.

And finally, the piece I feel most justified in putting here, because if I was actually going to do it, this would be the one that would be playing...

Barber - Adagio for Strings - Simply...Hands down the most depressing and beautiful song I've ever heard.

Just a disclaimer, this was not written in contemplation of anything, this is not a cry for help, it is only a way of writing about music that I love. Now discuss, and please post your picks as well
