Bury me in Satin.

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'.

A few things - I have heard a lot about this "Band Perry" or whatever they're called. I liked that song, cute video too. it makes me want to go row a boat in a big lake and read poetry. Also, did you know that we are HUGE Adele fans in this house and that Reagan knows every lyric to every song in that album? And that the other day I walked in the room and Reagan was watching Adele sing "someone like you" on my phone and tears were running down her face, and I asked her what was wrong and she said that she was feeling the spirit?? I was in shock. Cute/weird. And also that Jason has been trying to get a good recording of Reagan singing Rolling in the Deep so he can put it on YouTube and have Adele see it and give us free concert tickets so Reagan can go up on stage and sing with her? Ha ha. Well, there's a novel for ya. Sorry!
