Music Videos - All about Death
#1
These are not intended to be morbid. These are intended to use the concept of death as a warrior might, for advise in life and imbuement of power.

I'll start with this one from pirates of the Carribean - Hoist the Colours

A celtic song by Clannad about love and saying goodbye to the world...

Do chromhrá s' do chairdeas
Ba mhian liom i gconaí
'S oró grá mo chroí
Scéalta is amhráin
Go haosta le sléibhte
Cruaidh 's cróga le haois

CURFA
Slán le na laethe
A bhí seal go haerach
Slán le na laethe bhí
Slán leis an oíche
A casadh orainn do'n chéad uair
Slán le na laethe bhí

Ag amharc ar an fharraige
'S an ghrian ar a'tsáile
'S oró grá mo chroí
Scéalta fa Bhalar
'Sna trí Mhici Gorra
Oileáin seanda mar fhís

CURFA

Bí liom a stórín samhradh go geimhreadh
Rún mó mhíle stór

CURFA

English translation

Your protection and your friendship
Were always desired
And the great love of my heart
Stories and songs
Old as the mountains
Strong and brave with age

CHORUS
Good-bye to the days
A That were turning so lightheartedly
Good-bye to the days that were
Good-bye to the night
Turning on the first hour
Good-bye to the days that were

At the sight of the sea
And the Sun on the seashore
And the great love of my heart
Were stories of Balar
And the three sons of Corra
ancient islands like a dream

CHORUS

I had a sweetheart from summer up to winter
My dearest love

CHORUS

Oh man...
Bone Thugs N Harmony - Tha Crossroads



This seems partially religious but it still strikes a sublime chord about death in a big way.

Lyrics:
Bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone
Tell me what ya gonna do -
When there ain't nowhere to run -
When judgment comes for you?

[Verse 1: Bizzy]
Let's all bring it in for Wally
Eazy-E, Uncle Charlie
Little Boo Boo - God's got him
And I'm gonna miss everybody
I done rolled and blows my gauge
Looked at him while he lay
When playing with destiny, play too deep for me to say
Lil' Layzie came to me, told me if he should decease:
"Well then please bury me by my Gran Gran
And when you can, come follow me"

[Verse 2: Layzie]
God bless you working on a plan to heaven
Follow the Lord all 24/7 days
God is who we praise even though the Devil's all up in my face
He keepin me safe and in my place
Say grace to the gates we race
Without a chance to face the judge
Then I guess my soul won’t budge
Grudge, because there’s no mercy for thugs
Ohhhhhh what can I do, it's all about a family and how we roll
Can I get a witness not enough fool
We livin' our lives to eternal our souls ay o ayo

[Verse 3: Krayzie]
Now follow me roll stroll whether it's hell or it's heaven
Let's come take a visit of the people that's long gone they rest
Wally, Eazy, Terry, Boo
And still keepin up wit they family
Exactly how many days we got lastin' while you laughin' we passin'
Passin' away
God rest our souls cause I know I might meet you up at the crossroads
Y'all know ya forever got love from
Bone Thugs baby

[Wish Bone]
Lil E-Z long gone
Really wish he could come home
But when it's time to die gotta go bye bye
All 'lil thug could do was cry, cry
Why'd they kill my dog?
Damn man I miss my Uncle Charles y'all
He shouldn't be gone
In front of his home
What they did to Boo was wrong ohhhhhh (wrong, wrong)
Was so wrong gotta hold on, gotta stay strong
When the day come better believe Bone got a shoulder you can lean on
Lean on

[Repeat Chorus 1 (fade into main chorus)]
And we pray, and we pray and we pray and we pray
Every day, every day, every day, every day
And we pray, and we pray and we pray and we pray
Every day, every day, every day, every day
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
And I'm gonna miss everybody
And I'm gonna miss every lottie
And I'm gonna miss everybody
And I'm gonna miss every lottie
And I'm gonna miss everybody
And I'm gonna miss every lottie
Livin' in a hateful world
Sending me (straight to heaven)
That's how we roll
Livin' in a hateful world
Sending me (straight to heaven)
That's how we roll
Livin' in a hateful world
Sending me (straight to heaven)
That's how we roll
And I ask the good lord why
He sigh, he told me we live to die
Whats up with that murder y'all?
See my little cousin was hung
Somebody really wrong anybody wanna touch that star?
And Ms. Sleazy set up Eazy to fall
You know while we sinning
He intendin' on endin' it when it ends
He comin' again and again and again
Now tell me what ya gonna do
Can somebody anybody tell me why hey
Can somebody anybody tell me why
He died
We die
I don't wanna die
(so wrong-oo, so wrong-oo, wrong)
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads)
So you won't be lonely

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Brendan's Death Song

These guys are pretty familiar with death by now.



Lyrics:
Live and die before I get it done,
Will you decide.
I'll take my words and turn them into sounds,
It will survive.
Because a long time ago,
I knew not to deprive.

It's safe out there and now you're everywhere,
Just like the sky.
And you are love,
You are the love supreme,
You are the rye.
And when you hear this,
You know it's your jam,
It's your goodbye.

[Chorus:]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the drummer drums,
He's gonna play my song,
To carry me along.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away,
To where we all belong.

We all crossed
When we were feeling lost,
It's just the time.
Kateri cried,
The day her lover died,
She recognized.
Because ya gave her,
A life of real love,
It's no surprise.

The night's are long,
But the years are short,
When you're alive.
Way back when,
Will never be again,
It was a time.
It's gonna catch you,
So glad I met you,
To walk a line.

[Chorus:]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the drummer drums,
He's gonna play my song,
To carry me along.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away,
To where we all belong.

Come get me
Hey!

Hey!

Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!

[Chorus:]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the drummer drums,
He's gonna play my song,
To carry me along.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away,
To where we all belong.

Then we live,
So every time you die,
He's in the revert sky.
Lay me down,
So when it's time to leave,
Another sun will rise.

I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

[Chorus:]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
(I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
And when the drummer drums,
He's gonna play my song,
To carry me along.
(I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
(I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away,
To where we all belong.
(I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)

Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.

This is a very happy song ...


Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills and trees.
Learned of love and ABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.

Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I get along.

Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Little children everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, all have gone.

Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always come around
and get my feet back on the ground.

Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I whish that we could both be there.

And one more today - Johnny Cash's version of Hurt
He died shortly after this video - which is an essence a recapitulation of, his Empire of Dirt.
