Hive open mic week 116(Trumpet sound) || If I die young

over 2 years ago (Edited)

Hello my music lovers, it's another beautiful week and it's always exciting to see different kind of music from our diverse musicians. So on this week's edition I'll be doing a song called "if I die young" by "the band perry". I can remember spending weeks some years back in school trying to learn this song. Am so excited to share with you guys today.

Before singing a song I always try to find out the story behind the song, for this one written by "Kimberly perry" is about the misery of dying young. A young lady who is talks about how her life was short lived and she never experience things like love and had a burden of how her family will take the loss. She also mentioned the sad truth of how people only pay attention to someone when they are already dead. this song talks about how grateful she was about the life she lived and she has no regrets of any sort. I hope you like the song guys

🙏🏽🙏🏽

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

Oh-oh, oh-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 gray, 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, 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 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've 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

Oh-oh, (oh-oh)
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, 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

Dear @nickzy, we need your help!

The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago when the HBD stabilizer proposal rose above it.

May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work?
You can do it on Peakd, Ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.

That is very good, I like this approach!
You performed the song nicely, thank you for you entry.
One detail, if you could include the source of the lyrics of the songs you sing, that would be great.
Greetings
