The Band Perry’s If I Die Young is based on the Arthurian Legend The Lady of Shalott
I loved this story when I was in Arthurian Legends this past semester. Lady of Shallot is found in the story Lancelot and Elaine in which Elaine falls in love with Lancelot but Lancelot, in love with Guinevere, says he does not love her. So Elaine “dies of heartbreak” her brothers and father send her down the river in a boat with a letter to Lancelot and Guinevere. This story is what makes Lancelot see his mistakes and what he could have had.

“That song (Rhiannon) is really straight out of the old Welsh mythology. Rhiannon is the Goddess of Steeds and the Maker of Birds, and her song is a song that takes away pain. When you hear her song, you close your eyes and fall asleep, and when you wake up the pain is gone or the danger is gone and you’ll see her three birds flying away. That’s the legend. So, whenever I sing the song, I always think of that…” ~ Stevie Nicks

Trivia: After writing the song inspired by a novel called Triad, by Mary Leader, Stevie Nicks learned that Rhiannon originated from a Welsh goddess, and was amazed that the haunting song lyrics applied to the Welsh Rhiannon as well.
