Bad Company makes death sound kinda nice

"Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day."
-Bad Company, "Shooting Star"

Doesn't exactly make me want to shed a tear for Johnny.

It might be the most peculiar death reference in rock. The only one I can immediately think of that compares in terms of weirdness is David Lowery asking if he could take his gun to heaven, noting, "I'd check it with St. Peter at the gate."

i think that means his life was like a warm summer day, not his death. like it was pleasant but seemed too short.
