@TABmayes ~this is why we have to thank monkeyandsquirrel and crackerfarm for all these videos! As much as we dream it, we can't sit in the Avett brothers den while they play unreleased songs...
This is simply one of the most brilliant songs ever written. I wish I had written it. Life, love, futile attempts to be happy, what to do to get happy again, and a story that, if you've lived it, you will instantly bond with the song. The Avett Brothers are the best songwriters, the most well-rounded musicians, and because of years of hard travelling, the best performing group for my dollar. They are family, and they brought us fans together like family. Family is what life is all about.
I thought that's what everybody does at birthday parties / family get-togethers. Me and my family sure as hell ain't the Avetts, though. That's the beauty of being from the Carolinas; slow living, good music, good people, and good times.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate their music. I have to say, though, that I truly admire Seth's playing and his voice. There is something magnetic about him. Watching him play takes me to another place.
Awesome! I love that this is what they do for their birthday parties! They are just the same as me or any other normal person, just extremely talented. It's too bad that they are larger then life and hard to get to know because I would love to just hang out with them and watch them sing in a simple setting like this!! Great video! Great setting! Just plain perfect!

So did the Avett brothers actually live my life ten years ahead of me or does it just feel that way?

I think it'll find it's way to a record. But they don't perform it live. But it's not like they don't want it heard, they had to okay this video.

It's really admirable how they write about such personal subject matter and say things so truthfully. They are very talented men.

Love it ! I think Scott's banjo kind of messes up the flow of the song a little bit. I can't believe I just said that.
