Funny when you're dead, how people start listening...

"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"

I couldn't stop listening this song by the Band Perry a couple of weeks ago. It reminds me of a hymn "Some Glad Morning." Both songs don't look death negatively. Certainly death is something very scary, but I want to take it more positively like these songs.

The Band Perry also sings about days after death.

"Penny for my thought, oh no, I'm selling it for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner.
And maybe then you hear the words I've been singing
Funny when you're dead how people start listening"

Many don't notice how much the person mean until he or she is gone (including myself). I wonder how everyone reacts when my life is over.

By the way, I don't really like to listen this song in pops version. Once while I was driving, the radio started playing pops version of it. I couldn't keep listening because it just doesn't match the mood the song was making with what it was singing about. I know some people couldn't stand country music but this is too much.

I can say same thing about Lady Antebellum's songs. I don't like the pop version of "American Honey," "Need You Now" etc.

Now I gotta go back to studying for midterms... I know what I'm studying is worth it but it's so boring... maybe because of professors... Sigh....
