I love this song called, If I Die Young. It's originally by The Band Perry...however I'm not a huge fan of them...I think I've said this before. I'm not sure why I'm so obsessed with it but I am.
Here are the lyrics.
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand,
There's a boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
It's a little forlorn type song but I can't get enough of it. Anyways here's a video of the real band's version:
and the other day I posted a video of my favorite youtube cover of this song so you can scroll down if you wanna listen to that too. While I'm at it here are a few more songs I enjoy very much
Adele gives me the goosebumps. It's almost like she's holding her heart in. This whole album was made after breaking up with her boyfriend.
Man I'm so dramatic :D
I also like these guys and this song.
So listen to good music, even if it does sound a little 'deep'.
