老小姐的MP3

9.7 對我來說，這首歌有如年輕人跳躍式的思考，
提到了些細節，但整個中心思想很難貫通。
不過，主唱的聲音倒是可以吸引一些不喜歡鄉村歌曲的年輕人。

雖然生命短暫，但是她活得已對得起這些在世的時間，
所以她要讓別人知道，如果她不幸在這麼年輕時逝世，
她要怎樣的告別，還有要媽媽寬心。
還沒有真正的愛過，但是體會了世間沒有"永遠"的事。
另外，她也了解到，人死後，你才會開始關心那個人。
最後，她不要別人為她哭，因為她會死而無憾，
所以大家穿出最好的來送行吧(假如有那麼一天的話！)

If I die young bury me in satin

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 colors
