In his latest release, “If I Die Before You,” country music star Chris Lane addresses a profound aspect of love often overlooked: the practicalities of preparing for the inevitable. While many associate love with grand gestures—lavish weddings, romantic poetry, and passionate moments—the ultimate expression can sometimes be found in the less glamorous realm of paperwork.
Creating a will, designating beneficiaries, and completing “Payable on Death” forms may seem mundane, but they serve a critical purpose: easing the burden on loved ones during difficult times. Lane reflects on this sentiment, stating, “My wife often reminds me, ‘If something ever happens to me, please make sure the boys know how much their mom loved them.’ I tell her, ‘Honey, please don’t say that. I can’t even bear the thought of it.’”
“If I Die Before You” captures the essence of such conversations, as Lane contemplates his own mortality. The song draws parallels with poignant tracks like Garth Brooks’ “If Tomorrow Never Comes” and The Band Perry’s “If I Die Young,” but goes further by delving into the uncomfortable yet necessary discussions surrounding estates and advance directives. Ultimately, it transforms a heavy topic into an uplifting exploration of love and legacy.
