The sequel to the 2010 classic, a reflection and revision of sorts... 🌹 *_Question:_*_ What have you changed your mind about?_ #WCW #WomenofCountryWednesday
I've changed my mind about alot really. I'm making a complete turn around in life inspite of my health diagnosis of kidney disease and in need of a transplant due to renal failure. My life has basically become unrecognizable from what it used to be.
I immediately broke down in tears because growing up i sang the original so much because i believed with every fiber of my being that i wouldn't see 25 because i would make the choice to leave since that would be the only way anyone would finally listen to me. But im still here i am free. I needed to hear this song, especially because the night before, i found old photos of myself, and even my bf said i looked sad in all of them. If ur reading this, please know that ur going to make it
@KeenanLacellesilly thing, but it won’t let me edit my typo. God, in his infinite wisdom, must have wanted to humble me a bit more for you, specifically. 💜✝️💜
My best friend ended her life at age 21 and the original song is one of a few songs that she gave me before she passed. Hearing this new version and imagining that she had survived her wish to die young gives me chills. Thank you for this beautiful song.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to listen to part one again just like I don’t think I’ll ever be able to be that person in part one again. Thank you Jesus.
My father died young and I have always loved this song. A year just represents a number we are all young and beautiful lives that walk this earth together.
My grandchildren got killed and my granddaughter kept telling her mother to play the 1st version at her funeral. They were 12, 8, and 6.. today my daughter is looking for house starting her new journey without her children and we heard this song. Brought tears to our eyes. Because my granddaughter had a premonition the song was sung by a 14 year old at the children's funeral.. signs are always there. They are with us..
I love hearing the original everyday on the radio! Didnt even know she made a remake, but the memories, both sad and happy that these 2 songs give me!!❤😢
A few years later in life I’ve learned the gravity of tragedy through deaths friends and my father. The younger me foolishly didn’t understand. Now as I hold my 9month old daughter who brings heavens joy I can say definitely that each and every single persons Life matters.
Wow, many things but one real important thing: love is the greatest of all, share it, hold on to it, and receive it as the most valuable grace in your life. It truly is.......
A dear friend of mine loved the original song and used to say if he ever passed young he wanted it played at his funeral. He ended up passing away in October of 2010, ironically at the hands of a knife. Truly wish he was here to hear this version ❤ beautiful
Lovely. Loved the first one, cool when follow ups work. She took the key up a whole step-I was playing along with the first one ( played in A) and then moved to this version, which is in B.
Life gets better. My mid 20s have been the best years of my life and I know more are to come. I was going to throw it all away but its got better, I got better.
I remember the first time I heard this song when I was in JHS that I am in urge and addicted of self harm, and yes I am once in the verge of death because of suicide and heard this. TBH this song is literally describes me, from the voice it matured compared to younger prequel and the lyrics, yeah supposedly "dead" rn but thank Lord I am on my way to graduate to college (3rd year rn), meet an honest and long-time best friend, and my talents grow and improve. To repay for it, I serve in our church 🥺🙏
She wrote the original at age 25. I was 25 when it was released and it got popular. She wrote the part 2 at 39, with a newer, wiser perspective. I'm 39 now so this definitely hits for sure.
I hope people think of this song as a nuanced REPLACEMENT of Part 1, which was a song that literally anyone who had suicidal ideation listened to because it fed those ideas in their heads. This song gives you the fuller idea that in reality, when you grow up you have kids or find love or whatever but it's letting her fans know that she was wrong to entertain the idea of suicidal ideation, so anyone who ever listened to Part 1 knows that she does not claim the things she said in that song anymore, and that she was wrong.
*Lyrics: Kimberly Perry - If I Die Young Pt. 2* [Verse 1] I put one hand in the air I’m closing my eyes My whole heart’s beating for the very first time That boy here in town says "Darlin’ just drive" I swear the gates of Heaven just opened up wide And Lord, I’m glad you didn’t pay me no attention When I sent up a prayer of a child’s premonition 'Cause…
I’ve had time to bloom Planting them roses instead and I’m changing my tune from when I said [Chorus] 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 Now I know there’s no such thing as enough time
[Verse 2] I’m looking more like my mother I love her to the bone I know it’s gonna kill me on the day she goes home I’ll pour some holy water on a daughter of my own I’ll pass my name down ‘fore it’s on a headstone It was so dramatic Beautiful but tragic Throwing my emotions in a poem ‘bout a casket But…

[Bridge] And I’m so glad I’m here now Instead of somewhere underground I think I’ll always wanna stay I guess it’s too late anyway To die young [Chorus] 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 Now I know there’s no such thing as enough time
So put on your best boys And I’ll wear my pearls Songwriters: Nicolle Galyon, Jimmy Robbins, and Kimberly Perry Producer: Jimmy Robbins
If i die young is my life song and I was wishing that someday I was able to found a song that will help me decide to live longer and then I found about this.This is me crying right now.
I've followed you from Hip to My Heart, through the pop phase, and honestly enjoyed everything I've heard. Very underrated and versatile woman right here.
My ex sister in law died memorial day weekend ('23) from severe late stage 4 kidney cancer. She was a nurse. I found out days ago and lost it. 40y old, 3 boys, a huge family, and a widower at 44. I lost my parents at 19 & 20; I know what their life is going to be like. It sucks! We need more with our mothers! It's a huge deal of before and after; that's a hole you never heal from. I was car shopping yesterday and heard pt 2 on the highway with the remake of Fast Car and lost it. I nearly could see from bawling. I've had nightmares since.

#WCW #WomenofCountryWednesday
I'm in love with this song.
Im surprised Kimberly Perry added the next edition of the song
Both part 1 and part 2 are the best ❤️🔥

This version gives me chills and makes me cry even more than the first one.
" There is no such thing as enough time ".....these words are prophetic !!! Enjoy every moment.
My father died young and I have always loved this song. A year just represents a number we are all young and beautiful lives that walk this earth together.
👍
Sorry for your loss.
May he forever be in peace.
May we all be at peace 🙏

I've lost too many people too young, this song is better than the first, Praise God for life!
This song just gutted me. So glad she made this song, it's beautiful❤

I just love how some lyrics are the same but have a totally new meaning to them
Lovely. Loved the first one, cool when follow ups work. She took the key up a whole step-I was playing along with the first one ( played in A) and then moved to this version, which is in B.
the first one is in E and this one in Gb/F#
i love if i die young, and I'm hearing this part 2 for the first time and i'm crying
Life gets better. My mid 20s have been the best years of my life and I know more are to come. I was going to throw it all away but its got better, I got better.
Part two, I love this. Thank you for creating both songs. ♥️⭐🔥😇
Amazing track love it, also the fact she's come back to Country again.
She always had such a gorgeous voice ❤
I wanted this song If I die young played at my funeral . Now They will need to play both songs ! 😂 I love this song ! ❤

I’ve always thought she was underrated
Same here
She wrote the original at age 25. I was 25 when it was released and it got popular. She wrote the part 2 at 39, with a newer, wiser perspective. I'm 39 now so this definitely hits for sure.

I was so happy to hear The Highway playing this song. 😊
*Lyrics: Kimberly Perry - If I Die Young Pt. 2*
[Verse 1]
I put one hand in the air
I’m closing my eyes
My whole heart’s beating for the very first time
That boy here in town says "Darlin’ just drive"
I swear the gates of Heaven just opened up wide
And Lord, I’m glad you didn’t pay me no attention
When I sent up a prayer of a child’s premonition
'Cause…
I’ve had time to bloom
Planting them roses instead and
I’m changing my tune from when I said
[Chorus]
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
Now I know there’s no such thing as enough time
[Verse 2]
I’m looking more like my mother
I love her to the bone
I know it’s gonna kill me on the day she goes home
I’ll pour some holy water on a daughter of my own
I’ll pass my name down ‘fore it’s on a headstone
It was so dramatic
Beautiful but tragic
Throwing my emotions in a poem ‘bout a casket
But…
I’ve had time to bloom
Planting them roses instead and
I’m changing my tune from when I said
[Chorus]
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
Now I know there’s no such thing as enough time, ohh
[Bridge]
And I’m so glad I’m here now
Instead of somewhere underground
I think I’ll always wanna stay
I guess it’s too late anyway
To die young
[Chorus]
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
Now I know there’s no such thing as enough time
So put on your best boys
And I’ll wear my pearls
Songwriters: Nicolle Galyon, Jimmy Robbins, and Kimberly Perry
Producer: Jimmy Robbins
Now I know there’s no such thing as enough time hits so different when you start choosing yourself
Beautiful so happy to hear Her again 💜
The way I cried in the car the first time I heard this the other day ❤
If i die young is my life song and I was wishing that someday I was able to found a song that will help me decide to live longer and then I found about this.This is me crying right now.
Such a wonderful song
Just about to get done with a long week of work . Now I’m all caught up in my feelz .
Losing someone younger than you hits different on how to value your life and existence more in this world
Spectacular always been a huge fan of Kimberly
I love this song thank you for this song this means so much to me to listen to it🧡💜
This song gives me chills
This is beautiful 😢
I saw this and was thinking it cant be that good but I decided to give it a shot and I'm really glad I did. Awesome!
Sometimes I wish I would just die but I can listen to this song and it helps me a lot
Version 1 plays in my head on a loop! I wake up to that everyday. I'm not complaining... I ❤️ it
Guns-n -Roses is going to do a follow up to November Rain as well. Axl Rose is going to name it December Snow.
This is heart touching ❤
Omg!! Beautiful but sad! 😢😢😢
This hits sooo hard
I used If I die young for my Daughter when she passed away in 2011
Beautiful song I love this song❤
This is so lovely
We played If I Die Young at my son's funeral in 2011
omg! legend❤
Kimberly you have a beautiful voice
Wow this is great
Sad but beautiful ❤❤❤
Love it 😭❤️
The best song (even a remake) I have ever heard about the reality of life
Nice Part 2.
Very touching
Wonderful song 🎵 ❤️
Nailed it!
My father died at 54. My grandpa died young as well. I'll be damned. I'm going to enjoy the last 20 years I have left.
We’re getting old 😔
😢
We're just teeing off
Knowing of her miscarriage makes this hit a little different.
I cried
I feel you
I've followed you from Hip to My Heart, through the pop phase, and honestly enjoyed everything I've heard. Very underrated and versatile woman right here.
I love her voice but, I do have mixed feelings about part 2.
You are amazing
me coming to listen to this after that tiktok comment
WHY HAS NO ONE TOLD THIS SONG EXISTS, HOW AM I ONLY FINDING OUT ABOUT IT NOW???
No such thing as "enough time"
My ex sister in law died memorial day weekend ('23) from severe late stage 4 kidney cancer. She was a nurse.
I found out days ago and lost it. 40y old, 3 boys, a huge family, and a widower at 44.
I lost my parents at 19 & 20; I know what their life is going to be like. It sucks! We need more with our mothers! It's a huge deal of before and after; that's a hole you never heal from.
I was car shopping yesterday and heard pt 2 on the highway with the remake of Fast Car and lost it. I nearly could see from bawling.
I've had nightmares since.
Yessss
