Summary:
"An ironically upbeat book that asks some of today's most inimitable musicians which
song
they would choose to be the
last
one
they ever hear. If you could choose the
last
song
you'd hear before you died, what would it be and why? Your favorite
song
of all time? Perhaps the
one
you danced to at your wedding? The
song
from that time you got super stoned and just let the chords speak to you? It's a hard question that Mike Ayers has thought about for years. In
One
Last
Song
, Ayers invites 32 musicians to consider what
song
they would each want to accompany them to those pearly white gates. Weaving together their explanations with evocative illustrations and poignant interludes -- what your
song
to die to says about you, what songs famous people have died to, and more. The book offers insight into the minds of famous artists and provides an entry point for considering how integral
music
is to our own personal narratives.
