"If I Die Young" by The Band Perry is about a young girl and what she wants to happen if she passes away. The video portrays the girl as if she has already passed away and what her family and friends have to go through.
The verse that I connect to the most is:
"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"
I connect to this verse because I like to think that my loved ones who are no longer with us are shining down on us through rainbows. While this may sound corny or difficult to believe, I think it is better to believe in something, whatever that is, then nothing at all.
Death affects us all in different ways, it is an unavoidable part of life. While this is a very difficult thing to get through, music can help with this process. It helps to channel your feelings and thoughts into something attainable.
