      I turned 50 in November, and had never heard of them until just after my birthday. I've spent the last couple of months listening to their back catalogue and repeatedly being blown away by an absolute gem of a song. I echo your thoughts C L.

    The first time I heard this was at the Mann in Philly. I've never heard a crowd so quiet in my life. He had all of us eating out of the palm of his hand and there wasn't a dry eye in the place. I was a brand new father and was so moved that it became the lullaby I sang to my son for the first year of his life. I can't think of another song as profound as this one.

    Scott and Seth have a John and Paul level of creativity and effect with their songwriting and when they both sing. And that is no exaggeration. The lost art of songwriting and performing your own stuff stays alive with these guys.

    I lost my wife back in 2012. No she didn't die. We divorced. I can honestly say that I messed it up and lost the love of my life. When I recently discovered this song I realized The Avett brothers described the dynamic of our relationship. Unfortunately she didn't love me forever.

      @tnregah 3 роки тому +6

      I’m so sorry you lost the love of your life, sir. My heart breaks for you, and my thoughts are with you. The fact that you realize and acknowledge your part in what caused the loss is beyond respectable, admirable, and truly commendable; it takes a lot to reflect upon one’s own mistakes, faults, flaws, wrongdoings, and so on. I blamed myself for so long for the way my last relationship ended, subsequently making me feel as though I was toxic and undeserving of a love like that. But after years of therapy, I’ve come to realize and understand that, not only does it take two to make a relationship, but it takes two to break one. It’s safe to say that one party may have played a bigger part in the destruction of it, but that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve forgiveness. The hardest part is forgiving yourself. And ghat can feel entirely impossible. But I hope you’ve learned to forgive yourself over the past five years. We all make mistakes, and we all have regrets, and we can’t always fix things, let alone take them back. But if you’ve learned from those mistakes, you can and will be better for it. You’re worthy of love and forgiveness. I just try to hold faith in there being reasons as to why things happen, and yeah, “there’s a lot of fish in the sea,” or... whatever. But a man who can love someone as hard as you seem to have loved/love is a miraculous, special and precious thing. So I hope you invite the opportunity to love and be loved into your life. Don’t push it away. Maybe something greater is around the corner, or maybe something greater has already presented itself. I know this is long, and I’m sorry for that. I just want you to know you’re not alone, and you’re not alone in feeling like Hate in this song. But the love you had isn’t gone. Love doesn’t disappear. I’m sure you’ll both love one another forever, even if it’s from afar. Take that, let it be who you are: unconditional love.

    This song almost saved my past relationship. She introduced it to me while we were together. I didn't understand nor appreciate it at that time but after I made a grave mistake and several months later, I tried to use it to help understand her mindset before and after the break up. She was LOVE. I am HATE. I couldn't accept the love she had always offered and now I suffer for it. When we tried to amend it, I was too weak to let go and move on when I was the one who did all the wrong. Listening to this song makes me wish I would have understood it before I hurt her the first time. Idk why I strayed away but every waking moment I regret it to the fullest extent. I'm sorry Alexa. You were the one for me.

    Love writes a letter and sends it to hate.
    My vacation's ending. I'm coming home late.
    The weather was fine and the ocean was great
    And I can't wait to see you again.
    Hate reads the letter and throws it away.
    "No one here cares if you go or you stay.
    I barely even noticed that you were away.
    I'll see you or I won't, whatever."
    Love sings a song as she sails through the sky.
    The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes.
    And everyone knows it whenever she flies,
    And also when she comes down.
    Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street.
    Every stranger and drifter he greets.
    And shakes hands with every loner he meets
    With a serious look on his face.
    Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow.
    Carrying with her the good things we know.
    A reason to live and a reason to grow.
    To trust. To hold. To care.
    Hate sits alone on the hood of his car.
    Without much regard to the moon or the stars.
    Lazily killing the last of a jar
    Of the strongest stuff you can drink.
    Love takes a taxi, a young man drives.
    As soon as he sees her, hope fills his eyes.
    But tears follow after, at the end of the ride,
    'Cause he might never see her again.
    Hate gets home lucky to still be alive.
    He screams o'er the sidewalk and into the drive.
    The clock in the kitchen says 2: 55,
    And the clock in the kitchen is slow.
    Love has been waiting, patient and kind.
    Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign,
    That the one that she cares for, who's out of his mind,
    Will make it back safe to her arms.
    Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door.
    Weary head hung down, eyes to the floor.
    He says "Love, I'm sorry", and she says, "What for?"
    "I'm yours and that's it, whatever.
    I should not have been gone for so long.
    I'm yours and that's it, forever."
    You're mine and that's it, forever.
