Assume that you are going to die, and some years later, be brought back to life. You have the opportunity to request, ahead of time, some of the details of the environment you will wake up in. What criteria would you use to select those details; and which particular details would meet those criteria?
For example, you might wish a piece of music to be played that is highly unlikely to be played in your hearing in any other circumstances, and is extremely recognizable, allowing you the opportunity to start psychologically dealing with your new circumstances before you even open your eyes. Or you may just want a favourite playlist going, to help reassure you. Or you may want to try to increase the odds that a particular piece survives until then. Or you may wish to lay the foundation for a practical joke, or a really irresistible one-liner.

Nicolas Jaar—Space is only Noise which start around the time I regain sound perception.
Mahler’s 2nd symphony, for reasons including the obvious.
I think my go-to here would be Low of Solipsism from Death Note. As an aspiring villain being resurrected, I can’t think of anything more dastardly.
That’s interesting, you think of yourself as an aspiring villain? What does that entail?
“Everything in Its Right Place” by Radiohead would capture the moment well; it’s soothing yet disorienting, and a tad ominous.
