Thread Name: Will YOU die Singing?
Subject: RE: Will YOU die Singing?
Well, I might...if there's a big tidal wave coming my way, and I know there's no escape, then I might sing one of my favourite songs in order to go out in the most dignified and appropriate fashion possible.

American Indians often sang their "death song" in their final moments as a way of going out gloriously, and making peace with their spiritual sources at the same time.
