Song Response to “If
I die young” by The Band Perry
The
song “If I Die Young” is a song sung by a group called The Band Perry. The story behind this song is that you shall
not take anything for granted. It says
to make the best out of what you have and how long you live your life. Whether it’s two years, twenty years, or two
hundred years, make the best out of all that you are given. The feeling that the author has in the story
is a mixture of happiness and sadness.
It portrays sadness because of death; but then again portrays happiness
because of making the best of what you have.
The artist succeeds in this event because they have reached out to
many. It shows how to live and young at
a young age.
Another
trait in the song is how it shows the meaning of life. It shows that a lot of people don’t pay
attention to someone or something until it is gone. It describes this in the song by saying “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”. This
statement is one of the truest statements I’ve ever heard. It shows how people take for granted a lot of
stuff, until something bad happens.
Although
this song does talk about death, I still like it. I like it because it expresses a feeling of
life. It states not to live life for
granted and make the best of everything while we are on the Earth.
