The Avett Brothers - Die Then Grow (new song)

[omajan09]

why do you get an "error if you comment too much? So on you tube you're only allowed so much freedom of speech?

[omajan09]

everyone just ignore him, he'll go away. when you comment after his comment it just encourages him. listen to the music & forget about the crap

[DLHkaratekid99]

BEAST

[wwwatcc]

zero dislikes as it should be

[kingghostBASSWEIGHT]

Actually ya'll, this song is more true to form of their older material than most of the newer tunes.

[Aquapello1967]

A great new song from the Avett brothers. I can't wait for their new CD release. Thier music always tells a story from the heart.

[TheCooleyk]

i love this.

however, it should be "than." not "then."

[maggielicious14]

um if this video was posted in 2010, how come this song isnt on any of their albums ?

[danthemantompkins]

@denishew then i suggest the avett brothers song "die die die". there's your problem. just listening to the wrong song.

[denishew]

@danthemantompkins  Obviously.

[Travman2119]

@denishew Nobody cares.

[denishew]

@Travman2119  No one likes you.

[denishew]

I would rather die die die than listen to this song!!!

[TheDailyGPT]

@denishew I would rather die die die than listen to your shit. These guys are great.

[denishew]

@TheDailyGPT Correction. They WERE great. I've been to 15 shows. Love their old stuff! Their new stuff belongs in your grandmother's underpants.

[camhasanemail]

@denishew ok, man. we get it. you don't like the song. now stop ruining everyone else's experience and go back listening to bruno mars or whatever you like.

[denishew]

@camhasanemail Like I said, I love their old stuff. I apologize for ruining your experience. I encourage you to keep on enjoying your tube sock, your dark closet, and this recent Avett video.

[dbologna1401]

@denishew If you don't like this song, then why do you keep coming back to this page?

[denishew]

terrible, just terrible.

[maggielicious14]

@denishew um if you have something negative to say, dont say it..simple as that dude

[denishew]

@maggielicious14 You're absolutely right! This is the post positively forum, eh? How about I just say super duper things about every song the Avett Brothers ever write so they keep writing such awesome catchy songs!?!?!? C'mon get a life --- they wrote some awesome stuff earlier, very original, and now they write garbage. Simple as that.

[maggielicious14]

@denishew man, chill its just music :)

[ShadowKey101]

JESUS. First I saw The Once and Future Carpenter, and then I listened to this... they need to release their new album, or at least these songs as singles, STAT!

Well, I'd rather them take their time... EITHER WAY, I DO LOVE ME SOME AVETT. <3

[denver97ghost]

I love this girl, but I don't know how to tell her because I am pretty sure she doesn't love me...

[JJWoosh2]

I just listened to this song for the first time..I can't speak and have tears streaming down my face.

[jmg7738]

"A well of hope and talent sprang and i caught a glimpse of light. I and drank from there as the colors rang out loudly from your eyes"

[buzzkill1969]

Amazing. Can't wait for the Pittsburgh show this Friday. Would love to hear this song !

[mglodo]

"...unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."

[revpgesq]

@mglodo Amen... there are things worse than death, and they are important to die to... 

[youreuglyDAMN]

[mattlecroy]

WAYLON... HOW DO YOU GET THIS TO ITUNES?

[jakesakook]

[hopulikit22]

Thanks for sharing!

[NefariousFairie]

This is wonderful, possibly my new favorite Avett song. Thanks for posting!

[waylonhawkins]

@georgiedmac firefox addon called one-click youtube downloader

[waylonhawkins]

thanks for posting this, now i have this song on my ipod!!

[georgiedmac]

@waylonhawkins  How did you do this? I can figure out how to do this.

[creekerwalker]

i cant believe im the only 10 year old listen s to this band

[jonnyjaxn]

@creekerwalker how would you know if your the only 10 year old to listen to the avett's? lol

[mslizaruiz1959]

LOVE the song for the instrumental genius, lyrical meaning, innovating melody, and, passionate delivery of every individual verse, I especially love when Scott says "OK let's bring it in!" The performance in Newport RI was incredible!

[mslizaruiz1959]

Lyrical geniuses ... I would marry any man that would say those beauiful words to me ...

[stina20a]

@mslizaruiz1959 Often wonder where these men are. Is it just that other women snap them up before we can find them? I live in a small, small town. The men are either too old, drunks/druggies, not compatible or insane partiers. The good ones must be hiding somewhere I'm not seeing them. That or they just don't exist in my town. If it weren't for my family and stable, long held job - it would be tempting to move.

[TimmyJihad]

@stina20a oh sweetheart were out there. we just get overlooked...

[stina20a]

@TimmyJihad :P

[spinasweetness]

@stina20a "nice guys finish last" is a well known saying for a reason :/

[stina20a]

@spinasweetness I suppose... but they must all be hiding out mourning this fact together somewhere. STEP OUT OF THE SHADOWS NICE GUYS! :P

[thegame546444]

@mslizaruiz1959 I'd marry any woman that would appreciate them.

[denishew]

@mslizaruiz1959 desperate.



[DontTreadFootball]

@mslizaruiz1959 Any man can say these words...yet I truly believe these men mean every word they say!  I cannot say this for many others unfortunately.

[mslizaruiz1959]

This song, Die Then Grow, is another one of their great masterpieces. Being up front for the first time seeing the Avett Bros. playing this song first time too is even more remarkable. They brought tremendous energy to the stage that seems to empower them as well as the fans. I got, as it seems, one of the only photo shots tat that event with Bob Crawford, by shear luck. He is a courteous gentleman showing no outward signs of complacentsy. He was easy going and grateful for my compliments.

[fournya]

I was there when they played this at Newport. The Avett Brothers put on one hell of a show! I can't wait until they release a studio version of this!

[audiodamo]

never heard of them, but I always trust your taste... and this is beautiful! I'll check them out, thanks!

[hashinor]

hey, thanks for the photo credit! ~ HAsh

[MellowCruisin]

This sounds awesome. Sounds like they are taking the "I and Love and You" path again.

[28undermyspell]

@MellowCruisin This was, oddly enough, reported to have been written before and recorded for I&L&Y, but wasn't put on the album. I can't possibly imagine why.

[waylonhawkins]

@28undermyspell Yea, how could they cut this from the album. It is better than most of the songs on there. not that the album is bad, just this song is amazing.

[brodank]

When/where was this recorded??

[ilcorvojo3]

@brodank Newport Folk Festival... August 1, 2010 ;)

[buzinessmann]

@ilcorvojo3 Newport Washing??!?

[morgancayla15]

@ilcorvojo3 Do you have the video or just the audio?

[stina20a]

@ilcorvojo3 Hope that means it'll be on the next studio album whenever that happens (hopefully soon!)

[brodank]

should it be called "Die THAN Grow" instead of "Die THEN Grow"?. scott says "You would rather die than grow"?

[ilcorvojo3]

@brodank You're right, but I think he also says "die, then grow" at the very end of the song...

[chilixx]

@brodank pretty sure it's Die Than Grow. I actually asked both Scott and Seth about this last August, shortly after they debuted it, and they both seemed hesitant, though they said it was Die Than Grow. But I agree, I think there is purposeful double meaning here.

[waylonhawkins]

@brodank it's die then grow. punctuation is key here. "Would you rather die, then grow."

[208clint]

@brodank Thats the great part about the lyrics, she said I'd rather die than grow, they are saying if you do, Die THEN grow

[christianwithabrain]

@brodank I believe it to be a double entendre. "...would rather die than grow. Die then grow." Powerful lyrics.
