I love when they scream-sing...like in Colorshow... the passion is what makes this band what it is... they bring the fire...

[YouKnowMeImJosh]

This song is like the story of my life, with the love of my life leaving me (and hopefully coming back someday, like the lyrics at the end of the song). This whole album really resonates with my life for me.

looks like someone missed the thumbs up button

I'm just getting into the Avetts but I think this is my favorite song by them, so far. I'll agree that they are great lyricists. They are also very gifted vocally.

although the screaming parts are un fit for most songs, it is the little quirks in all things that makes it beautiful things

[ManicBohemian]

This song absolutely sums up a part of my life that I'd really like to move away from, but in such a beautiful way. This band, for me, have some of the most incredible, intelligent lyrics I've ever read, and it's completely consistent throughout all of their material. I could listen to them forever.

@guonwonbotcha Actually, I do own this album. I just today was reading the long introductory paragraph about what the album's title (“I and Love and You”) means, in the Avett Brothers' opinion. I simply enjoy listening to music on youtube as well, because it's convenient for me, since I like to listen to music while I work, I work on my computer (I'm a writer) and constantly having to switch out cd's would be an annoying nuisance! Youtube is far more convenient for me.

yea i miss when you had to get the album and not go to youtube.The artwork that came with the cd, the fonts used, the way the cd looked, band info, lyrics etc.. it added to the experience of enjoying a band and it made you understand a little more where they were coming from and the experience you were meant to have when listening to the music.Nowadays you just youtube it or just download the songs you like.I miss blasting away a paycheck on cd's.Music in a whole used to be more intimate

@mark321P Indeed you're right, songs are always open to interpretation. That is 1 reason why music is such a universal form, it speaks to themes we all experience. The meaning you suggested is certainly one possible interpretation; but I took it to mean that he got back together with the same girl, but she had changed a lot in the time they were apart. It's like the song American Pie, even though I know he wrote it about a terrible plane crash, but to me it was about something totally different.
