The Avett Brothers - The Perfect Space

[johnniedig]

@AdolescentMartyrs the more you listen to these guys, you'll probably start looking back toward their roots. You may artists like Townes Van Zandt, The Grateful Dead, and others. If you really get into the old-time sound, look to Doc Watson, Merle Haggard, Tom T. Hall.

[blahhayden]

I am so glad I came across these guys, this is honestly the best music I have ever heard.

[BrRaWh97]

@bhamptonify thats just annoying

[bhamptonify]

"From WHOM did we borrow?" Come on now Avett Brothers....

[MoVaanRab]

@AdolescentMartyrs Johnny Flynn

[AdolescentMartyrs]

Huge fan of Mumford and sons. Someone recommended me these brothers, I love them. Anyone got some more stuff?

[pacole97]

@AdolescentMartyrs

It goes on and on

I and love and you

slight figure of speech

kick drum hear

[AdolescentMartyrs]

@pacole97 I meant more bands. Lol.

[ncorky52]

@AdolescentMartyrs The Ballad of Love and Hate. Possibly their best/most meaningful song.

[derontheorderofonion]

its nice to take a step back from the rap and meaningless music and look at life from a new perspective

[PinkotAnim]

Its rare you find someone who makes real music with a real meaning

[swankycat]

This is my Tony Stark song.

/marvel nerd

[tddelvalle92]

the avett brothers music is the music i have been looking for my whole life. their songs are the songs that are in your head but you dont know they are they. makes no sense, i know, but i love them

[coramunroe]

@tddelvalle92 makes perfect sense  to me =)

[funnythewayitis1524]

Every single line in this song means something to me. The Avett Brothers are my HEROES for accomplishing this. (by the way, does anyone else notice that at 2:40 - 2:49 it sounded like Sweet Home Alabama?)

[KrackerBrown]

I am so glad I found this music. I swear these guys are in my head saying things that I was unable to. What an incredible piece of art this entire show is. Thanks for helping me see it guys.

[Cognatusinfinitum]

My friends love me for the man I've become :) and I love them for the same reasons, I'm so proud of all of them...

[ShinhoDynasty7]

They now join Mumford and Sons among the top bands on my list

[beasmoad]

@ShinhoDynasty7 i love both of them but AB have been on the list far b4 Mumford and Sons.

[247musicshuffle]

@ShinhoDynasty7 They are way better then Mumford and Sons.

[AndMe0nly]

@ShinhoDynasty7 You are not the only one!

[vashlupin3]

when the avetts aren't sporting beards, i want to cry...

[MsNickie92]

One of the greatest folk songs of all time.

[ncorky52]

my favorite line is "I wanna have pride like my mother has, but not like the kind in the bible that turns you bad"

[292Tigger]

@ncorky52 Could you please explain this line? I love their music but my english is not great.

[xXDeathGuyXx]

@292Tigger In the Christian bible, one of the seven deadly sins is pride. The reasoning behind this is that a person might become too proud, and start to think that they are better than other people.

[rfishyystickies]

@ncorky52 my favorite line is when he says "I wanna have friends", because i can really relate to that.

[GWeezy43]

one guy just had to dislike this...way to be that guy on an amazing song with such a great message

[jfill2424]

this band is amazing i havent been moved like this in years  this is so refreshing and new avett brothers your amazing

[svierma]

best part, 2:40 to 3:07

[popcornhobo420]

@svierma dont you mean 0:00 to 4:32 ?

[ThisIsAbby]

This song is so...human. Not many artists can accomplish that.

[Sumggles]

these people give me boner

[zombiezombieful]

Thanks for the post bro....I am also a recovering drug addict and this line hit home. I experienced the same thing.....love these guys

[speedemon2293]

i listen to this song night while laying in bed and staring up at my ceiling( i have like 300 glow in the dark stars up there hahaha its awesome) but anyways this song almost brought me to tears the first time i listened to it. it is meant to be enjoyed in your own perfect space. wherever that be

[gam44es]

This song reminds me of my father. He passed March 12, 2010. I do miss him so.

[rpjones82]

This song calms me and puts a lot of things into perspective:

"Will you forget, when we have paid our debts. Who did we borrow from?"

Remember those good to you!!!

[KinestheticImagery16]

Life sucks ass sometimes. People don't leave you alone when you tell them get out. This song tells you, that's ok. Tell them shut the fuck up and life your life. I'll live mine.

[ElpabloDaVinc]

brings tears to my eyes

[Namlegofj]

The perfect space would be the place this song softly kisses your ears and swells your heart. The song is so universal that anyone fortunate enough to hear it can relate. Thank you sir, May I have another. Good enough to enjoy with my mistress, Tullamore Dew. Makes for a great evening of beautiful music, good livations, great cigar and some soul searching.

[shaggydontp]

LOVE THIS SONG BEEN HURT TO MANY TIMES I NEED WHAT THEY ARE SAYING

[scorchingwater]

Who is the ONE PERSON that disliked this?

I shall hunt them down and make them listen to this until they LIKE it!

[withoutlimits16]

No, not the perfect space, the perfect song.

[popeydope]

@withoutlimits16 Amen... :)

[greeneightball]

Amazing group.. so effin glad I found this

[GeezMarie]

"I want to have friends that i can trust. That love me for the man I've become, not the man that i was." Did anyone notice the grammar error?

[greeneightball]

@GeezMarie Um no because it's impossible... it's poetry and lyricism..

[ssassyf]

@GeezMarie

Lol, I'm a grammer geek too, should be "Who" rather than "That" I believe :o)

[TheMaineManiac]

I was in love with Mumford and Sons....and then I stumbled upon The Avett Brothers.

[soccerchic6103]

This song makes me believe I can change the world.

Thank you Avett Brothers.

[izzbiz12]

my cchildren will all be named avett.

kidding

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

@izzbiz12 I hope you're kidding that you're kidding. Just kidding. Still, Avett wouldn't half be a bad name for a kid...

[Rockwoodlocal]

"I want to grow old without the pain; give my body back to the earth and not complain." beautiful.

[hailz29]

They're so fucking amazing. EVERY SONG. I mean there's not one song I don't like.

[TallyWallyGirly1]

This song brings tears to my eyes almost every time. I LOVE the Avett Brothers. Their music is so powerful.

[harlandwirth]

Wow what a beautiful song. I think we all feel this way sometimes or all times. Love these guys.

[Liquidaterz]

Just saw them open for Mayer. This was my favorite of the songs they performed that night. I also like songs they played that featured banjo.

[xdsoldierxd]

@Liquidaterz Mayer should open for them...

[wilmotuesday]

This is an amazing song. Great music with meaning. The Avett brothers deserve alot more credit.

[mgb0017]

I love when the song changes tempo @ 2:32, it shows just how much these guys are amazing. i can never get enough

[Schoolvidsdotcom]

Every song comes straight from the soul. It's the reason the music is so beautiful. These men are my inspiration, in music and in life.

[tfare10]

these guys are fuckin SERIOUS! love it

[Bmgordita]

Wow. Its like he's in my head. Its beautiful when a song reminds you that you're not the only person going through something. I am not alone. :)

[Allicat247]

I'm going through this album and trying to find a song that I dont like......nothing yet!!!! BRILLIANT!

[captaininsanity89]

the way they just seem to melt together perfectly is utterly amazing they are the pure essence of brotherhood , of love, honesty, pain and, a basic understanding of the way life is which many of us will never be able to experience... thank you for showing us the music that will carry our generation....................­.. and hopefully many others to come.............

[ShadowKey101]

I actually did this song for a talent show today- turned out pretty well. I love the song to death.

[ratedredge123]

Great song

[sammeib]

you don't have to do drugs and come off to feel this song, this feeling comes from growing up. and i mean really growing up, and away from everyone you loved. thank you for this song, and i can't wait to see you again @the hullabalou festival :)

[pgreen3yo]

god i love how this song is slow and sad at the beginning. it really shows the agony that he is going through. i like to think that part two, although still having a sad message, is up beat almost like he's done caring. such an inspiration

[BlackRockTrout]

Thanks Avetts!

[waitingforyoucolasan]

"will you understand, when i am too old of a man... will you forget when we have payed our debt" i love this part because it reminds me of my grandpa who just passed away last week. i miss him.

[johnson3741]

The Avett Brothers inspire me. Without them, and artist like them, there would be no good music. All I can say, is amazing. Simply Amazing.

[ayeayebadman]

how are these guys not HUGE??it baffles me that people would rather listen to Lady gaga or the cast of glee when music like this is being produced.

[tn163ta]

@ayeayebadman because people love the cheessy beats, not taking into acount the lyrics lol.

[aphtj]

For real though, there is not a Avett Brothers song that doesn't speak to somebody. Every song has something that the listener can get out of it.

[TheWBarry]

Thumbs up if this is the Best Song in YEARS!

[jghfkjdgs]

what a pretty song.

i love the changes from slow to fast and then to slow again.

[samruff0506]

God damn, they're so good.

[g4aaaa]

i love their music but 95% of their music is slow.

[WhatsHerFace005]

The Avett Brothers make music the way it is supposed to be made.

With heart.

[reidrphillips]

Instruments as well.

[mateor09]

@WhatsHerFace005 egg freaking zactly

[ticticboom]

dang, i love the change up 2 and half in. So freaking good. I love these guys.

[McDania]

" I wanna have friends that will let me be alone when being alone is all that i need " Epic song, The Avett Brothers are far beyond amazing !

[jitterbug52]

Ok marvcus4 ur an ass. That guy has obviously been through tough shit. Shove it.

[DarthTsan1987]

"I want to have friends that i can trust. That love me for the man I've become, not the man that i was."

favorite part. beautiful. reminds me of my life. i am a recovering alcohol and only a couple of my friends respected my decision to change my life around. the others stopped talkin to me cuz i didnt go out and party and stuff. society blows. the avett brothers bring hope to there fans. love it.

[jessebean13]

@marvcus4 I love how you added your age at the end of your username. Show's originality. inb4 this faggot telling me the same thing, i'm 15, bro. chill some people are depressed, music gets them through the day. why are you even here?

[marvcus4]

@jessebean13 4 is the number of times i made your ma orgasm in one night. I made you 15 years ago . Don't tell your dad.

[jessebean13]

@marvcus4 You're real funny man, took you six months to come up with that?

[jewelsfavs3]

You hang in there. You'll be glad in the end. Those "friends" who don't want what's best for you aren't your real friends.

[mizbuki]

@DarthTsan1987 - i know the feeling! it's hard and yes your "friends" will no longer be there... but it's more than worth it and you'll find new friends, people who want more from life than just a party... people who will be there no matter what!!! best of luck!

[itshillzbiznatch]

@DarthTsan1987 Wow, that's so inspiring. Way to go, and I'm so happy these guys give hope to others too. (:

[captaininsanity89]

@DarthTsan1987 hey man ive been there my self ived been in recovery off drugs for over a year now i may have only three friends left but their the best friends a gfuy could ever ask for ... look at it that way

[gam44es]

@DarthTsan1987 I too my friend am a recovering alcohol/addict. I deeply understand your comment. Many of my childhood friends and I have parted ways as a result of my sobriety. It's a shame. At first they didn't think I was serious. After a while they tried to bring me down, misery loves company. Remember your past so you don't repeat it and at the same time be proud of who you are. As for "our old friends" they're spiteful for they are fearful and lack the courage to change.

[420andsuch]

@DarthTsan1987 keep on truckin brother

[bobbyjames1986]

@DarthTsan1987 whoever isnt your friend anymore never was in the first place..but I'm sure you know that.

[eriklofts]

@DarthTsan1987 hang in there man. went through the same type of situation. this song kind of says it all.

[loveroflifemom]

@DarthTsan1987 I'm a recovered alcoholic too. I say recovered because I have recovered from the desire to drink.  It gets better. Your friends in AA are your true friends and they will love your for the man you've become.

[baldgame]

@DarthTsan1987 amen to that. me too

[thejerrrd]

@DarthTsan1987 I really respect this comment. I made the same decision not too long ago in my life and dealt with people like that. This song speaks so deeply to me. Stay strong, friend!

[whitestripes22]

great song. i like how its 2 different songs put into one.

[Davus521]

I want to grow old without the pain, give my body back to the Earth and not complain!

[kickinitonthetube]

@Davus521  just awesome

[mrbradj]

Beautiful song. Looking forward to hearing it live...especially the part where they rock out for about 30 seconds. :)

[jamievcarroll]

This song brought me to tears this morning. Amazing.

[fjrobinson44]

Love these lyrics

[chandyoberst]

this song rules, but its WAY MORE EPIC when you see it live
