Don’t Let Me Be Lonely - Fall Out Boy x The Band Perry, C M T Crossroad 2013 [Full stream courtesy of @little-miz-fangirl] a.k.a one of my favorite duets ever
Bit late to the party on this one because I rarely listen to the radio and that's the only way I hear new music, but damn If I Die Young (Pt 2) hits different.
I used to sing If I Die Young and mean it, and now the articulation of the emotion of having not died young, of having survived is..
Ok I don’t care if it’s cliched and too on the nose the fact that Kimberly Perry is coming back and doing If I Die Young pt 2 13 years later, like… that’s huge… like The Band Perry was my emo phase before my emo phase and as a child who grew up with this music and listened to this song religiously and very much wanted to die through most of middle school… hearing her sing the words “now I know there’s no such thing as enough time” is monumental to me when I thought 11 years was enough time.
"Make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother. Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no. Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby. If I die young, bury me in satin. Lay me down on a bed of roses."
