The Avett Brothers are so underrated
Watching them live is like a religious experience, only much better:
I cannot tell you how many times I have seen Scott constantly trying to get his banjo in tune. must get old.
This is one of Seth's best works. Passionate, raw, abstract, unique.
They wrote it together! Check out the HBO documentary May It Last
This is the beauty that happens when Poetry & Music collide.
I have had the line I'm drawn to you, expressed to me recently by someone who has admired and loved me from afar. So when I heard this song I immediately thought of this man and knew instantly this is how he has felt and feels about me, so I shared it with him, he was speechless. How could these fine songwriters see into the heart of man who in the future would say those words to me? Love does transcend time and space.
Beautiful story thanks for sharing
I have had the same experience so I know just how you feel ❤️
I know. I am that person from afar in love. I lived with her for a brief time, until she found out I was there and had me thrown out of her house.
Ahh, to be in love.
This song always makes me want to cry. So beautiful. I don’t know why this is the first time I’m watching them sing this live. I should’ve seen this sooo long ago.
Seth has such a poetic romantic heart!
first time i danced with my then boyfriend...now husband was to this song. first concert i saw with him was three days in bonaroo. it was a magical experience that ended in beautiful fireworks. they are beyond amazing.
I loved this song the first time I heard it live...Sept 12, 2015 in Chattanooga (when they were still kinda working out the chords and lyrics). Then loved it even more when I bought True Sadness and got to hear a finished version.
But, I was unprepared for the emotional response I had to watch the documentary, "May It Last" and get to watch Scott and Seth literally come up with the words as you watch. Amazing.
The ending
“I love you
I’m sorry” makes me want to cry
First time listener, first time commenter: My wife’s cousin is too shy to stand up and tell you guys this but I’ll tell her secret: She LOVES you guys!!!
I wish everyone cd realize they are just as good as Lennon/McCartney, Simon n Garfunkel . Love these guys !
Musical genius. I’m thankful I get it.
Better than McCartney- Lennon
If I have seen farther it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants!
I think people do realize this………..I don’t know a single person who doesn’t at the very least acknowledge the quality of Avett Brothers songwriting and singing.
@@kosi_99 I agree!
I love the way Scott closes his eyes
Magdalyn Staples- I love the way Seth does his mouth, and the way he moves to the music. On some faster paced songs it’s like he can’t be still.
@@Christycat35 I’m w ya, kinda in the vein of shakey graves 💕
Easily one of my favorite songs. Seeing this performed live was unlike anything else I've ever experienced.
Dream come true, I’m singing this in my kitchen
Seth and Scott, this is one of your most beautiful....
This is one of my favorite songs. Hands down.
Try to find a live performance where Scott doesn't mess with tuning of his banjo mid playing, it is very difficult.
a banjo is never truly ''in tune'' gotta fk with it constantly
Banjo strings stay tight and loosen from plucking so tuning is constant. I seen him bust a string and restring it mid song and that blew my mind but they have insane musical talents
Try to find a video where Scott looks amused. I remember ten years ago he enjoyed himself on stage and he looks bored and less enthused since they’ve gotten big.
Who CARES!! They are Magic.
Just have to say, with sarcasm, this is the worst song ever written and performed live
Friend recommended these guys and this is the song that sold me. Makes my heart feel things.
"I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle
Lighting up your living room high on the mantle
I could bring some romance without any scandal
And then when you were done you'd just put me out
I wish I was a tune you sang in your kitchen
Putting your groceries away and washing your dishes
I could float around your tongue and ease the tension
And then when you were done you'd just quiet down
But if I get too close
Will the magic fade?
Would I turn you off or away?
If I pull you in
Would I push you out
Of something here you care about?
I'm at a loss for what to do
I'm drawn to you
I wish I was a sweater wrapped around your hips
And when it got too cold into me you'd slip
And when the sun came back you would hang me up
And I would watch you while you undress
But if I get too close
Will the magic fade?
Would I turn you off or away?
If I pull you in
Now would I push you out
Of something here you care about?
Well I'm at a loss for what to do
But I'm drawn to you
I'm not a song
I am not a sweater
I'm not a fire
I am something better
I'm a man in love writing you a letter
Will you take it
Will you keep it
Will you read it
Believe it
I love you
I'm sorry

I've been listening to this on repeat 4 hours and I Can't Tell You Why
i wish i was an avett brother...
Id settle for drinking buddy lol
you are
Heard these guys for the first time on Lex. I can't get over how beautiful they sound.
Scott's banjo tuning makes me crazy! I guess it happens to even the best of us...
I am pretty obsessed with this song right now. Thank You!
this is so poetically written. I'm cryingg huhu
I LOVE THE AVETT BROTHERS! THEY ARE A BLESSING TO THE WORLD‼️
I swear i've been laughing about the end of this song for weeks.... please don't leave me ! LOL
these guys are better live than in the studio, there are very few bands you can say that about
This is a terrific live performance.
Tar Crystalline not at all. I dont feel like scott really loves it like he did many years ago. I play instruments and tried the banjo and its really difficult but scott isnt enjoying himself anymore and that's obvious. Seth is on point as always though. Ive been a f an since country was. Those guys played their herts out. Google their npr video with I and love and you and see how much more into they were.

Ant-Dawg idk about that. I think he still is into it and enjoys it maybe he just doesn't look like it cause he's focused
they're so awesome live.
Seth's smile at the end....
Breathtakingly amazing 👌🏼☺️
Yup!
Panty dropper
OMG! These guys are amazing! 🎉❤

How else can I get my beautiful wife to see them. There coming in May around us. I've sent every version
I’m at a loss for what to do but I’m drawn to you.
Amazing last night at the Orion in Huntsville!
I like how the first few seconds the banjo is being tuned
Spellbinding...
Well sang!! Muah
I love this band. Seth your T-shirt is awesome " Animals are little people in fur coats".

I love you. I’m sorry. ❤️
Awesome as usual
Happy birthday Babe!
Scott spent the first half of the video tuning his banjo lol, great performance guys
Now this is REAL music.....LOVE
Kayne, take notes, this is how a fucking good song sounds.
Dan Marino you haven't actually listened to Kanye have you? (This isn't an attack, I love this song)
When there are "artists" like Kelly Willis, Avett Brothers, Steve Earle, Leon Bridges, why the hell would I waste one nanosecond of my life listening to West?
But yes, I did waste a few minutes listening to him. He is horrible. :-)
I think the Avett Brothers & Kanye west are both great. Two of my very favorite artists. Learn some diversity in music man.
Animals are little people in fur coats... LOVE IT!! 😻
Waiting for them to play concerts in NYC area! Beautiful music! And not ONE background dancer!!!
I like the tune... But someone PLEASE tune that banjo lol
Where can I get that shirt at? I'm looking for that shirt.
Where’s the bass coming from??
i really liked the part when they were plucking strings and blowing air out of their mouths
Um...the internet needs to gush over Seth's shirt more
Hey Scott, please adjust your banjo again.
Lol
Animals are little people in fur coats...(assuming that's what the red t-shirt says...) that's pretty dang darn great. thanks. or flipped, humans are weird, wacky, (mostly) hairless animals that walk on two legs
Sounds like a Mike Newbury copy
Who in the flying fuck downvoted this?!
Animals are little people in fur coats
If this is a good performance in your opinion you must've just found the band. Ive been a fan for a long time and this is by far the worst they've ever sounded. Scott it seems doesnt enjoy himself much anymore and its starting to show. I remember when they were nobodies and had such drive to impress. Now its just a job or a burden. They need to take some personal time off to find that passion and drive again
this was 2 years ago what are u talking about
I hate to break it but this is a terrible performance and any real musician can tell how badly out of tune with eachother and the instruments they are. Its below these guys honestly and I admire and respect their talents to no end. Just not a good performance.
Totally agree. The song itself is great. Seth is spot on, but Scott's banjo playing (in this performance) and harmony (or lack thereof) is pretty piss poor.
