My sassy southern takeaway:

Well, butter my biscuit but ain’t that a hoot! The Band Perry, made up of those sweet Perry kids, can raise a glass to a full decade since ‘If I Die Young’ showed those Billboard folks what’s what. Just thinkin’ bout that song yanks at my heartstrings, like a old sweet melody playin’ on a summer night. That Kimberly, she let her fears out in the tune, bless her heart. Ain’t nothin’ like writin’ a toe-tappin’ tune to deal with what keeps you up at night.

The song, still as fresh as my granny’s peach pie, lights a creative fire under those Perry kids, y’know. They even say it saved their careers. Lord knows, we haven’t heard the last from ‘em. They’ve got all sorts of new tunes brewing. One thing’s for sure though, regardless of the path ahead, they struck a chord with ‘If I Die Young’ and it keeps bouncing back like an old sweet echo. Can’t wait to see where their journey takes ‘em, bless their talented little hearts.
