Last ever songs recorded bands/singers.

[scorpiorising]

Trying something a little different. Post the absolute last song recorded and actually released by an artist or singer before they split/retired/died. If impossible to find last recording then just the last song of the last album released.

I'll try to post one a day or so here when I'm at work.

ACDC-Ride On.
Not ACDC last song obviously but this was the last song ever recorded by the original singer Bon Scott.

 

[HaulParris]

Great idea.

"Where Did You Sleep Last Night" - the last song performed by Nirvana at their Unplugged show, I don't think they played again before Kurt passed away.

Alice in chains - died.

OG vocalist Layne Staleys last recorded aptly named song.

 

[scorpiorising]

Amy Winehouse (w/Tony Bennett) - Body And Soul.
Very slow tempo here. Her last recording off a duets album with Bennett.

Alice in chains - died.

OG vocalist Layne Staleys last recorded aptly named song.

he recorded that cover to Another Brick in the Wall (Part2) with Tom Morello after he did Get Born Again and Died

 

[Headkicktoleg]

I love the line about sitting on a park bench older than my country. I discovered this band/song before I did study abroad and discovered that line when I was sitting on a bench that apparently was like 600 years old in Spain.

 

[Satanical Eve]

Look up here, I'm in heaven

David Bowie's last album Blackstar that was released on his 69th birthday on January 8th of 2016. Two days later he would die from liver cancer

 

[Sweater of AV]

Died 3 days after it was recorded.

 

[mafuman]

Otis Redding -

the whistling part was supposed to be filled by lyrics later but i dont know if that part of the story is true. he died in a plane crash at the age of 26

 

[scorpiorising]

Bob Marley - Redemption Song
He knew he was going to die of late stage cancer while recording this. Very good song to and changes the meaning a bit to me.

I don't remember that band ill have to check them out

 

[The Diplomat]

I don't remember that band ill have to check them out

It was just a one time thing, they didn't really record anything else.

Last song recorded by all four Beatles:

 

[scorpiorising]

Misfits - Hellhound
The last song recorded in the last session of the original Misfits band. Its way more metal than previous works. Not one of my Favourites for sure. Mephisto Waltz was recorded after this but was never released under any banner and may have had a different lineup completely.

According to the OP, I should post the last song on the album, but I’m going to post the title track instead.
“You Want It Darker” was released 17 days before his death.

“Hineni, Hineni
I’m ready, my Lord.”
—Leonard Cohen

Ceremony was the last song Ian Curtis recorded with Joy Division before he committed suicide. Only a demo version exists with Curtis on vocals. Bernard Sumner would sing the lead when the song was re-recorded for New Order.



The last song Ian Curtis sang was Digital. This was the encore for what turned out to be the final Joy Division concert. Earlier in the night, Curtis had to be helped offstage when he had a seizure but he was able to return for the final song.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

This is one of, if not the last song Jeff Buckley ever recorded. Just him.



edit: this is wrong, this was recorded in 1992.
I thought, incorrectly, that it being the last song on disc 2 of "Sketches.." that it was his final song.
One of the songs on disc 2 is, tho.

Goddamn, good fucking pick. I love the entire “Still” record so much.

I think this was their last Song recorded.

I believe around 4 months before his suicide.
