My wife passed at 42 yrs old 20 yrs of marriage. This song came on the radio when my son n I were going to get fitted for suits for the funeral. I had to pull over.

"Funny when your dead how people start listening" This sentence made me cry 😭😭😭😭😭

“...sharp knife of a short life..” I miss you terribly, Mark. My Only Brother.

Beautiful performance, I love this song. I was in Mexico on holiday and heard the sad news my friend committed suicide and this was playing on someone’s Bluetooth speaker, it made me cry especially the absolutely violin part. RIP James you are missed so much ❤️

The soul this girl sings with is just amazing so much heart and feeling.She really knows how to deliver a message.

Underrated - fiddle player with the solo. He was really good! What a beautiful live performance.

I love that the bassist is in a country band, but still looks like he could be in Davis Bowie's band circa 1973.

the sharp knife of a short life 😭😭 this song is so close to my heart... I love The Band Perry so much 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

This song makes me cry. When I was being bullied I would go to a corner and sing this song. Then finally someone heard me and everything changed. Band Perry you are my inspiration. Love you Band Perry💖💖

I've heard this song many times, but for some reason seeing this video made me think of my cousin's grandson, dead at 18. He had a lot of living, loving, and laughing ahead of him. RIP Alex!

Kimberly is always singing her heart out, amazing voice.

The penny for your thoughts lines are what really got me. They really are worth more when your a goner and inherently become "dollar thoughts."

One of my favorite songs. Seeing it live is nice!

I got goosebumps when I watched this performance. true talent, beautiful song. huge respect.

Wow, that woman has an amazing voice!

I love this girl so much..her voice..her smile..endlessly gorgeous...💘🌷💘

I can’t believe I just heard the Band Perry a few weeks ago. Unbelievable!

This is what's called good lyrics💕 :')

2 Years later and you still have the voice

Family harmonies are the best! Kimberly's voice is amazing! Love her!

Not a country music fan but one of the best songs. Ive heard in years!

I come here everytime I am sad. Until the day I will give up.

Love this song. This song should be dedicated to suicide prevention awareness. There is someone who will listen!

that is better than radio all day , !!!

It sure is refreshing to see these young muscians playing instruments and putting out some good music. Well done!

Dang I miss Leno and Letterman. Simpler times, back when the late night shows were actually worth watching.

Changing her eyebrow style made her bloom incredibly.

I miss the Letterman show so much.... lol. I grew up on it. Love this performance!

She always looks so classy and beautiful.

If I die young I am going to heaven

sounds really good live

Love your band to the utmost!!! Keep on bringin' in the new songs... I love to workout with your music!!! Thank you, Velva from Santa Fe, N. Mexico 8-3-16

This literally gives me goosebumps

I'm here for her hair 😍😍.. and the song too of course😋😘😍😂🤗

The ocean side versions are spectacular. This is a great band. Love ' The Band Perry ' super fan of Kalamazoo Michigan USA *

love this ,you guys did your best work ever

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!

Lyrics made me sad and cry. Love this song.😥😥😭😭😭

I think we can all agree that this is a story we can in someway relate to..wait..i remember what i was thinking.. Kimberly Perry is an absolute million dollar knockout..Neil and Reed are fucking rockstars..

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 colours, oh and Life ain't always what you think it oughta 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 Go with peace and love Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket Save 'em 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

Lovely changes to the melody for a live version, didn't detract, really beautiful

that what we call a true talent... not only in studio

I love this song more than any other song

3 weeks ago i lost my 4 month old niece and every time I hear this song it makes me think of her and the life she lived here 3

Your concert at FIREKEEPERS Casino in Michigan last night was excellent. You came outta the gate jamming. Your music carries a very special message. Stay blessed...Terri

What a great song....And man she's hott !!

Gorgeous girl!

i love this band..

Why is no one talking about how smooth that violin part was?? 🎻

Wow! Great live performance, the articulation of the vocals was amazing Kim

2018 baby. This song just hits hits hits. I wish I only had so much more to listen to from The Band Perry.

A beautiful young lady with a pretty voice.

this is one of my fav song and I always cry listening this. so beautiful.

just incredible...

Nice to hear this song live.

This should be the song to represent childhood cancer awareness. I don't know the background, but it sure fits.

What a strong song and crual lyrics WAW

Those arms!😍 Slayyy gurrl

This is what a True Classic is......

if i die young...such a beautiful song

Awesome song awesome voices ❤️

She has a great country voice which can transition into other genres as well. Brilliant talent besides being beautiful. Don't need to be on stage in a skimpy suit like the junks we see nowadays. i'm a fan for sure.

I love this song so so much

AWESOME VOICE. Beautiful woman. When i have my Grand Resort Ballroom the Band Perry will be singing there. Word

love Band Peery

This song allways makes me cry

Very beautiful music

Big thanks for this song. Serbia love you guys :)

Life's a puzzle 🧩, but sometimes the pieces just don't fit the way you hoped, leaving you with a sense of uncertainty and unmet expectations.

😍 gorgeous Kimberly 🌹 true talented country artist ,love this song ,Band Perry fan for life ,👍

It's my fav song I never stop singing it.Alex

This song has beautiful lyrics

That's a DYNAMITE performance....sooooo good.

The Band Perry ROCK! If you got a HIT song, send it to me. Bruce Crawford Nashville, TN.

I'm sure Elvis Presley would have loved this song for his precious daughter Lisa Marie at her memorial.. I'm just saying....

this is so beautiful :)

Love this song.

beautiful. the girl and the song.

Really love this song

I love you Joshua Simpson, and Ill miss you forever. This song is for your Mother. Love yours forever, Jayme.

Such an adorable song

They had Magic and great songs. Then decided to change their sound for a Rock album they never released . Stay in your lane music groups. Been a decade since anyones heard of them. I have all The Band Perrys CDS they WERE great

Y'all are my favorite band and this is my favorite song of y'all's and I may get to see y'all in Tuskahoma , at the big fair there they have every year!

Cant wait to see them live

I came here with the expectation that it would be worse than the studio version. But it didn't. It sounded better! Holy shit..

I Just Adore Them And Their Songs/Singin! 💖🙂 Folks Are Pointin Out Her 'Flaws' In This One Particular Performance.. Her Voice Is Kinda Raspy AnyWay. Imo, If One Will Just Listen to Each Individual Performance On This Song(As Well As the Others), And Stop Comparin Them to Her Other Ones, She's Nothin Less Than Just AweSomely FlawLess In Each One. 🎶🎤🎻.🎶 🙂

I LOVE this song!!!!!

I see a bunch of people saying it sounds terrible well I think she sounds just as good as she looks!!! She is just soo precious what I wouldn't do for her. Lol.

My bff use to play this song every time I was in her car lol

I love that song and you sung REALLY good

Love that song

sensacional
