My son Cory loved these guys! He used to sing this song to me! He was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor at the age of 16 and passed away just 4 days after his 18th birthday on August 19, 2012. This song / this version will always have such a special meaning to me!

Who's still listening to this beautiful, tear jerking song in 2022? 😥😊

11 years after this video was uploaded, I’m still coming back. The sheer WARMTH of their voices gives me comfort.

I want this as my funeral song. Like THIS IS AWESOME.

Excuse me while I go cry in the corner

nightcore brought me here. i love your version.

My cousin has passed away, and this song was in a slideshow made for him. R.I.P Angel 1995-2016

Had to look this version up when I lost my best friend a month ago. RIP Cesar. ♥ Find peace and no more pain.

Dedicated to my dad who died in a car incident 5 months ago. Miss and love you, so much.

favorite version of If I die young

This song is for you, _Jonghyun_ . Thank you for all you've done for us, fans. We'll miss you dearly. Rest in peace.

Heard this on someone's else's video. Had to find who ever covered it. Awesome job!

If I die young, I wanna tell all the people that I care and love 'Thank you for everything...." the sharp knife of a short life....

This song always reminds me of my best friend, he enlisted in the Marine Corps at age 17....got deployed about 5 -6 months later, he just turned 18, but got KIA'd in Iraq. Rest in Peace Private First Class Christopher M. February 14, 1994 - February 25, 2012

*"...funny when you're dead how people start listening"* 💔

When my best friend passed away in a car accident I listened to this song over and over but so glad to hear this version. It means so much!

this is a thousand if not billion times better than the original version

Every time i hear this i break down. I lost a good friend not too long ago in a car accident and she was only 19. Heading home after finishing her first year of college. I play this on my guitar quite often in memory of her. This cover is incredible. Thank you for sharing.

Who’s still listening to this beautiful cover in 2019 almost 2020! Love this cover ♥️

歌詞: 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 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

So much better than the original! Their voices fit so well together, it's insane.

I will just cry, if it's okay. My corner awaits.

So beautiful... Those candles are so fucking beautiful..

Here I am in 2020 watching all of these old videos from middle school and high school and really wishing I could go back. Finding your videos again really hit hard, I miss you guys.

I love this version so much. The original is too upbeat and doesn't convey the emotion like you guys do. Great job!!! Keep up the amazing work

A friend sent me this song today and told me he had terminal cancer, I haven't seen him for a while and now I know why. This if for him, I'm going to miss him xxxx

Rest in peace Christina Grimmie...

“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.” Damn....

She woke up with a start. Then the cement block of grief hit her once again. The past week had been the worst week of her life. Her dreams had been good, though. He was still with her in those dreams, but in reality, it would never be so again. She got up, stretched, then put on his old coat she kept by her bed. Before she swept out the door, she spotted some old pictures on the wall. They were all taken with him when he was still here. The sight of them made the pain in her chest even worse. She shut the door, hoping that the loud noise would bring her back to her senses. She knew she had to stay strong, for his sake. She walked down the narrow street, crisp autumn leaves crunching and crackling under her shoes. The leaves reminded her when she and him would make piles of them and jump into them like little kids, and then lie on their backs and watch the clouds, seeing what shapes they made. She walked faster, trying to shake the memories out of he head. She soon reached the graveyard. She walked up to his grave, and gently touched the flag someone had placed there. She looked at his tombstone, then at the American flag planted nearby, and began to cry. Why had he been so stupid, leaving her like that? She missed him so much... She shook herself. She knew she had to pull herself together. He had always hated seeing her cry. But ever since she had gotten news of his death, she had been torn apart. She wished he could put his arms around her and tell her everything was going to be OK, but he couldn't. He was no longer there to comfort her, and to tell her he loved her. She felt so alone in this big world. She soon pulled herself together. She got up, dusted the flecks of dirt on her knees, kissed her hand, and placed it on the gravestone. She had to leave, but she would be back. She walked away, flicking a stray tear from her lashes. If you know a loved one has lost their lives serving our country, I will be praying for you and your families. If you serve in the military, I salute you and thank you for helping shape the country that we have today. R.I.P Dad (─‿‿─)

Am I the only one here because I heard it on Nightcore and i looked it up and found the original version and played it and are all like "this ain't it this is sung by a girl" so then I scrolled down and found this and wondered if this was it and now I found it yaaaay and it's sooo good

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 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 I held you in the sun And you, It took my hand said it 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 oh oh The ballad of a dove Go with peace and love Gather up your tears, keep ‘em in your pocket Save them for a time when your 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

This was the favorite Song/Cover of one of my best friends. 2 months ago he committed suicide. I get goosebumps listening to this. Thank you for this beautiful cover.

I am not a fan of country as a rule, but this is a song I have always liked. These guys took an already okay song and made it into something absolutely beautiful; made me tear up a little. :')

This is a lot better than the original version no offence to the band perry But it sounds to bland but this version has a lot more emotion Anyone who agree with me like this comment

I had this play at my 13 year old son's funeral. This was one of his favorite songs and on the the top of his playlist. I wanted sung from a male vocalist and came across this. He completed suicide on August 3, 2015. Thank you for the beautiful and heartbreaking vocals!

this song touches my soul in a way I never thought possible. "The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had just enough time"

I like to think I have no heart. I can sure make some hollow sounding noises. But this hit me right in the feels. I had a little dog, his name was Shadow. He was the runt and was born with kidney issues. The infected tissue in his kidney spread throughout his body, and he died at the age of 5 on a cold winter night. He will forever be remember by the Miller children. You were loved and still are. Rest in peace.

Dedicated to my grandmother, Rest in Peace~ ::September 23, 2014::

I'm In tears, I was about to commit suicide and this song came on the radio and i stopped and thought, I put down the knife and ripped the suicide note, Thank you so much for making this cover

I'm so so glad you guys did this song this way. My husband just passed away this past Tuesday, he was 33. I wanted so badly to use this song at his memorial service tomorrow but the female version didn't seem right. Thank you for putting this version out there.

Came here from the [APH] Prussia tribute, this cover is beautiful. The original version was okay but i love this one so much more, it's way better than the original.

Excuse me, I'll just- *cries while saluting APH Prussia*

DAMMIT PLAY THIS AT MY FUNERAL!

The best cover I've ever heard, hands down. You made your own version but didn't lose the feel of the original. The harmonies were unexplainably satisfying and your voices work so well together. I've been listening to this on repeat for the past hour and a half. I know it's over 7 years since you posted this, but if you happened to see this, know that you made an earth-shattering cover of an already unbelievable song. Never stop, because you guys are so talented!

Guys I love this version. Y'all's harmony really got to me. If I die young, play this version at my funeral.

Rip every side character in attack on titan

2024 and a couple thousand plays and this song still hits hard!

I wanna know who those 730 dislikers are. This is the *BEST COVER EVER!!!* It should be illegal to dislike such awesomeness as this...

Still waiting for them to come back singing, they actually had by far the best covers on KZfaq

That song in this version was the favorite song for my best friend. He just loved this song, this voice, this melody and he die's about tree years ago. In hes funeral, I singed this song to him. I know that he listened. Thank u guys

To think of all the people we’ve lost who heard this in the last 14+ years ❤️ I pray their souls are at peace

2019 and this cover is still as beautiful as it always was

their voices blend so well together.

Ich finde dieses Cover 1.000 mal besser als das Original!!! Ihr habt da viel mehr Emotionen rein gebracht❤️😍❤️😍❤️❤️🙈

2020 and still can’t get over this cover

中学生の時にはじめて聞いて約3年たった今日やっとこのカバー曲を見つけることができました！この曲を聴くといつも涙が出る

jesus, this is beyond brilliant, I can't think of words to describe how good this is. I am, in awe.

It has been 7 years. I dedicated this version of this song to my best friend who left this world to soon. It still gets to me. Yesterday makes the 7th year and I still don't stop listening cause it helps me feel closer to her. You guys are amazing.

I miss you guys. There are so many songs I’d have loved to hear you guys cover these days. Hope everything’s going great for you both, tho.

Dammit. Who's cutting onions over here? Beautiful!

Bless you henry and michael for having such beautiful voices, best cover i've heard.

This is actually way way better than the original. Good voice love it both of you

This song reminds me of my best friend who's life was taken away from a tumour at age 7. I'm 13 now and I still miss her to this day. May you rest in peace , Chloe

You two are my special artist in my heart for 2 years since I found Fireflies cover of yours. And will be forever. I don't know where you go or where you been living right now but I want you guys to know that we still miss you two so much. And please take care of yourself. I love your songs and your covers.

Beautiful. I cant say nothing more

This may be the best cover of any song I’ve ever heard

Lyrics : If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in a 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 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, 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 woman But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand, There's a girl 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, oh 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 (x2) Uh oh (uh, oh) The sharp knife of a short life, oh well I've had just enough time

i think,this cover is better than the original :)

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 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 woman, But it sure felt nice when she was holdin' my hand There's a girl here in town, says she'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 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...
