Molly Kate Kestner Remembers Those Gone Too Soon With “Good Die Young”
The Minnesota native wrote the song on the same day that Prince passed away.
2016 has seen the untimely deaths of more than a few icons in the music world, and 21-year-old singer-songwriter Molly Kate Kestner has delivered a soulful anthem that deals with these losses in "Good Die Young."
"Being a girl from Minnesota, when I moved to L.A. I expected sunshine every day. So April 21 is a day I especially remember, because I woke up to the sound of rain and the news that Prince had passed away," she told The FADER over email. "The last thing I wanted to do was drive to my session, but I'm glad I did. Because that was the day we wrote "Good Die Young." "Good Die Young" is not just a song for one demographic. It's a song for every age, race, & religion. It's a question so many have asked & a call to action for everyone who hears it. It is my candle of hope in a world that could use a little more light."
