A friend of mine has 3 sons and a daughter, who all have that lyric, tattooed on the inside of their left upper arm in the same script. My friend said he's not sure how to feel about it. I said, at least it's something nice.
Hang in there Bella. Their music does more to help you appreciate feeling things as a human being than almost anything out there. The music makes you realize though that sometimes the pain is worth going through.
This song affects me too, and for some of the same reasons. My dad is still around, still working his ass off to support us, but I can see the tears and the pain in his heart and there’s nothing I can do for him. Many blessings to you Bella and your father. I’m not sure how much longer mine will be around. 🙏🏻❤️
Everyone seems to 'be here because' ......sooooo, I am here because I am dragging my friend 300 miles up England to see the Avett Brothers in London in a few weeks....she has never heard of them...how lucky she is.....I remember so very clearly the first time I heard them and that total 'taken aback' feeling so she (my friend) is in for such a voyage.
This is a great story Roz. I bet you both had an amazing evening. I'm here because I love this song...and at least a dozen other Avett creations...morning song , 10,000 words, and on and on...
"always remember there is nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name." has got to be one of the most profoundly moving lines I have ever heard in a song. Keep up the good work guys
I'm here because I'm 8000 miles away from my beloved brothers/family and I'm feeling homesickness for the first time. "Always remember there is nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name"
Just heard them on Monday night in Nampa, ID. This song was one of my favs, brought me to tears. Have 5 brothers, think of them everytime. Thank you Scott and Seth.
4years ago i painted this song on my walls. And now I don't even live there but the one who lives loved it so much it's still there,she cried when she first read it and now in love with it just like me.😊
This is one of my favourit songs by the Avett Brothers. But why are the comments dating back 10 years ago? I would love to see many people finding this gem of a video. Today
its pure beauty the harmony of southern brotherhood is shown in their lyrics and live performance's.for any brotherhood its good music and i dont even jam this type but these guys can do it all."make sure my sister knows i love her make sure my mother knows the same remember there is nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share are name"
Every time I listen to it, my tears don't stop. It's pouring out of my eyes like rain. Every time I listen to this song, I think of my mother, brother and father. R.I.P. That's why the lyrics of the song hurt me deeply. Thank you. Bless your voice, your heart, You take me away, to my old years... I am grateful. Like this words; "Always remember there was nothing worth sharing Like the love that let us share our name." If I get murdered in the city Don't go revenging in my name One person dead from such is plenty No need to go get locked away When I leave your arms The things that I think of No need to get over alarmed I'm coming home I wonder which brother is better Which one our parents love the most I sure did get in lots of trouble They seemed to let the other go A tear fell from my father's eyes I wondered what my dad would say He said, "I love you and I'm proud of you both In so many different ways" If I get murdered in the city Go read the letter in my desk Don't bother with all my belongings But pay attention to the list Make sure my sister knows I loved her Make sure my mother knows the same Always remember there was nothing worth sharing Like the love that let us share our name Always remember there was nothing worth sharing Like the love that let us share our name
This song makes me cry pretty much every time. I thought I could make it through this time around, but I had to pause it at about 0:45. My brother and I have a similar relationship, and our dad would probably say exactly the same thing to us as their dad did to them. It's a beautiful song and makes me thankful.
wow. these guys are right up there with bob dylan when it comes to writing lyrics and music. theyre stage presence is second to known. ive never seen a more authentic, entertaining group of gentlemen. very impressive.
Damn, I love these guys. Its hard for me to play my guitar and sing this song without getting a little choked up. The lyrics are just so touching and brilliant. Just incredible. I lack the words to describe it.
you guys are so brilliant and moving and heartfelt!! thank you for being real and honest. when you headin out west again? i need to catch one of your shows!!
these guys are pretty awesome, love the lyrics, thanks the for the post never heard of them till today but i ve listened to this song five times in past half hour
I'm here because this afternoon I was rock climbing with a friend who was belaying me and as I started climbing up the wall he said he was gonna try something new and unbeknownst to me used one of his fingers instead of a caribeaner to add friction to the rope in his belay device, which when I fell caused his finger to break and rip in half which made him lose control of me and I fell on this really cute girl at the gym whom after my friend left for the hospital I asked out on a date later tonight, which went really well, and afterward she introduced me to her brother who is a big fan of the Avett Brothers and told me to check a song out on RU-vid but I spelled it wrong and ended up here instead.
I know you all don't care. This song makes me "feel." Which I haven't done in quite some time. My brother and I can relate. I played this for my Dad.....he cried. I like to remember a time when my brother and i could be civil, even act like family......Maybe this Christmas....Maybe the next. Always remember there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name.
I've listened to this song over and over. I've got in on CD, but somehow this video makes me want to cry more than the song itself. Just their facial expressions kill me.
Only discovered these guys recently... D'oh!! My friend has bought me a ticket to see them on the 22nd June in London for my birthday....I have good friends.......
i do care, and i believe God who created us all cares too. am praying for you and your Dad and your brother. My Dad and bro were estranged for almost exactly 25 years, but now are back on gentle and kind terms. Love and God bless, gary
