If You're Reading This is one of the best known war songs in country music of the modern times. This song was even chosen for last years veterans day/memorial day. This song has a couple of alliterations, a unique point of view, an extended metaphor, and more.

First off, this entire song is an extended metaphor of the speaker saying "I have passed away." Second, the unique point of view is that of a letter written by the speaker. This is obviouse because the speaker says over and over "If You're Reading This". Now onto alliteration. First stanza, 4th line "War was" is an alliteration. In the chorus "In that open field out on the edge of town" the words "out" and "town" make the same "ow" sound, thus assonance. Last example of alliteration is, "There’s gonna come a day" where the words "gonna" and "come a" make the same sounds.
