knowing what we know now after the release of 'winter in my heart', it is easy to see where these 'untitled' songs came from, or rather, what they were the result of. i'm sure it was a huge adjustment for all of their families after the I&L&Y album success and the crazy touring schedule that followed. i don't think these guys could put it out there any more than they do here...love them.
I feel like I've just invaded his private life...wow...these lyrics are an intimate glimpse of his life and I feel like I shouldn't be hearing all the details! But on the other hand it is sooo achingly beautiful I can't help hitting replay...
I just stood up and applauded my laptop. Congrats another solid song. Picasso once said something to the effect: Art is the lie that enables us to realize the Truth. You fellas been lyin' this whole damn time, and many many folks all thank you for that.
Goodness, I can't quit watching this. Such a beautiful and real and raw song. I can always count on The Avetts to put into words the things that I can't.
Every job has its ups and downs. It's songs like this one that help remind us all that we are all just people. Can't control our emotions no matter how much you get paid or how many places you go.
I mean what are you looking for in a song. This man can just roll his feelings into his arms, into his hands. He can communicate all of that right through his voice. On top of that he is the best songwriter in history in my opinion. Nobody can write brides like Scott avett can. If you don’t know music you will not understand what I am talking about and it is not relevant to this song. Bob Dylan has mad lyrics. Scott sees music in a complete whole. He is an artist plain and simple and it is incredible to be a student of his love. Just my opinion. I have learned so much from him and Seth as a musician. I would say more than anything that drew me to then it is passion. Man do they have it
"with this secret / but I'll keep it" Sounds like a reference to pregnancy. With "but I'll keep it" having double meaning with both the secret and the child. what a song.
"if you love them, let them go". I would rather both these guys spend the time they need with the people they love. The Avetts are a huge influence on my music, i love them so much that I can let them go.
@MOgrayback i'm happy that you found comfort in this song. The avetts have a charming way of achieving that through their music. It was just my opinion, people will always have different views on art. Best, keg5066
I really don't understand the amount of people saying this is his life he's singing about. Artists are constantly creating lyrics from all walks off life (not just their own), and as we all know songs about misery/break-up/struggles sell...and speak the most to the listeners because we all go through those things.
We love you (all of you) - and the beards. Your fans (myself included) love you all for what you stand for and how passionate you are about it. Take care of yourselves and your families while on this wild ride! Remember: Salvation Song! My guiding light!
@habertree oh no way, thanks for clearing that up, I totally forgot to press play and listen to my favorite band of all time, you must be one of those people that like to say no offense so you get a free pass to offend someone.
