You're listening to your Ipod on a transatlantic flight. Suddenly, an explosion...

The captain comes over the intercom, her voice barely audible over the cornucopia of warning sirens going off : "Brace for impact."

You have just a few minutes left to live. You begin shuffling through your Ipod looking for the one song you want to listen to before you die.

What is it?

For me...

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Sorry....your scenario brought to mind the video for this song.

Seriously...I don't know. I'd put the iPod on shuffle and go down with the ship.

But, I doubt I'd be fumbling with my iphone/ipod to listen to anything....Probably hugging the stranger next to me.
