25 Best Dying Songs – Songs With Dying in the Title

Last Updated: September 1, 2022 | Written by Matthew Campbell

Our goal in making a list of the top 10 dying songs was to celebrate life. Our top two songs have titles like living like you were dying and live like we’re dying. These two songs are highly successful on mainstream radio.

We tried to include many different music genres including hip-hop, rock, heavy metal, country, and Christian. We also tried to include different music eras from 1992 through today.

There are other uses of the word dying in our song list. However, we must state that people must try to live life to the fullest. There is always someone who is worst off than us. We must be thankful for what we have when we have it. When someone is dying or even our pet, it is a time of sadness.

However, we must remember the good times and help ourselves and the person dying to be as happy as possible – no matter what we believe after death.
