The Avett Brothers - 'The Ballad of Love and Hate', Live at Memorial Hall

On November 2nd, 2008, the Avett Brothers, those venerable sons of NC, performed for a full house at Memorial Hall on UNC Chapel Hill campus. The crowd was eager to hear whatever the band brought forth, songs old and new. Here, Seth Avett performs "The Ballad of Love and Hate" from their 2007 release, Emotionalism. Cirque Productions and friends were on hand to shoot the entire show using five HD cameras. We grabbed a stereo board mix on one camera and set up a small hard drive recorder with some room mics on the balcony, and mixed the two in post for the audio.

Camera Operators: Peter Bell, Brian Burnham, Daniel Pierce, Michael Cusack O'Connell, Leon Godwin. Edited by Leon Godwin.

This song cuts like a knife for those of us who have played the character of hate in our own lives.

[dnicho10]

The six people who "dislike" this have never been in love.

this is my favorite song by the Avett brothers:). The first time i was sitting in my dads car and he put the album emotionalism then die die die then shame.i was amazed when i herd the balled of love and hate. I love some love songs like hey there Delilah. I would recommend it

[ZachMaximus]

I think the song implies that we are all guilty of playing the part of Hate at some juncture in our lives, but in spite of this Love forgave us and persisted with patience and understanding. The least we can do is acknowledge this and see how undeserving we are, and replicate the beauty of this seemingly illogical cycle that happens in our peculiar little existence.
