This song pushed me to follow my heart. I was trapped in a rut, working 60 hours a week for what felt like pennies, and completely a lone in a small town. I knew something needed to change when I started having suicidal thoughts and the same dream EVERY night of being chased without being able to lift my legs. With motivation from family, friends and this song I uprooted myself and moved to my dream location with a couple of bucks in my pocket and no plan. It was a struggle but 4 years later I am now happily married with a little one on the way and the job of my dreams. Don't second guess your heart, 'decide what to be and go be it'.
Keaton Wanninger thank you for sharing...I needed to read that..I’m in a very dark space my ptsd is eating me alive and not sure how much longer I can hang on..
Reach out, there are people who care & want to help you. Google “ptsd resources” in your area. Don’t give in to it! Even if you think you’re alone I guarantee you matter very much to somebody. Hold on!!!
Anthony Smith, there has to be a reason I randomly saw your comment here, hrs after you posted it. It’s proof that you matter, even to a stranger on the Internet. Please get help.
@@smitty6132 It can get better, and its not as painful of a path as you think. Please look up Jordan Peterson and watch his videos. Its helped many with PTSD and its helped me as well. Please hang on, its worth it I promise
Fat One thank you very much...I’m still around it’s a daily struggle but one day at a time
In memory. Casey loved The Avett Brothers. I discovered them because of him.

Words to live by ❤
Hi
It's a beautiful & heart touching song❤❤Hello from Scotland!.
How are you doing today? I guess you have a great passion for music just like I do? I hope to hear from you soon!!!
One thing about music is that when you're sad you listen to the lyrics, when you happy you dance to the beat!
There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I'm frightened by those that don't see it
When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
And your life doesn't change by the man that's elected
If you're loved by someone, you're never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in
And demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I'll scream 'til I die
And the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
There's a darkness upon you that's flooded in light
And in the fine print They tell you what's wrong and what's right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And I'm frightened by those who don't see it

Years ago I was walking through Bonnaroo being a person leading others to despair.. I heard these words and fell to my knees weeping. I am a better man today because of these men
I was there
❤
Music for adults.
What amazes me is why music like this isn't on the radio. We are fed music that just has no lasting value. Music like this sticks with you and makes you feel. Heard this song in a Hope For Paws video and had to come check out their music. As an earlier comment said... These guys make the world a better place
you're just not listening to the right stations.
@@artmartello I agree in a sense. I actually don’t listen to the radio I stream. However I was more or less talking about generally speaking music like this is not played over the air. However you are correct and I have since added this to my streaming!
@@windmasterfluke I have a show every Sunday at 2pm called The Catskills Cafe at 2 pm est on wiox radio.org.
I also have a podcast named Mostly Folk it’s more than 4000 listeners a month. This kind of music is what I play
@@artmartello thanks for the info. I will def check them both out
@@artmartello So I listened to your latest podcast and it's a pretty awesome show. of course you hooked me on another song just as good as this one wild fire by the accidentals. Thanks for the heads up and the great music
First time I heard this song, it instantly moved me to tears. I listened to it over and over for an hour and somehow it triggered an emotion of guilt I felt about something from over 20 years ago. It helped me realize I was over due to forgive myself. Finding this kind of peace was life changing. This song will forever be a part of my soul. TY Avett Bros.
Babe you getting out of the car?
Yea when the song is over
A commercial brought me here and I'm not leaving
Same
That…is an epic comment.
😂
@Hero Cat Mark Purrman hahaha idk why but this just made my whole week better.
You have a lot to catch up on
I've been a huge Avett Brothers fan for 15 years or so. I've seen them live more times than I can remember. This song always, without exception, makes me cry. A bittersweet cry - happiness and sadness meet in the most beautiful way.
I've been a banjo player/singer for 20 years and this is still my favorite song to cover. I absolutely love this track with every ounce of my being.
Listening to this in the closing moments of 2020
This song inspired me when I was in engineering school. I was going through some dark times and I really struggled to believe in myself and that I could actually be successful. After an abysmal start in the first two semesters mainly bc of a breakup of a seven year relationship, I made a promise to myself in the next year and made stellar grades like I never have before. I put in the work and started to believe in myself and it all worked out in the end. I’m now 7 years into my career and was recently promoted into a senior reliability engineer position. I’m so glad I didn’t give up on myself after all the struggles I had bc it reaped such awesome fruits in my life. Thank you to the Avett Brothers for your awesome music that inspires others to not give up on their dreams. Peace to anyone who reads this!
Respect, glad to see the power of this song helped you take back the power of your life. Congrats on the recovery without challengers there can never be growth. So its inspiring to hear how you chose to apply yourself.
. Peace
I’m happy you got through engineering school 🎉 each step beyond that only a bonus
Congratulations on your successes! I attained my masters in criminology. I attribute 100% of my success in my last year in school to this album. Sometimes things do work out. Glad to hear you are out of your dark place and into the light!
This video is probably the greatest music video ever, and the most haunting song I have ever heard, because of the honesty of how we are as a society ❤💜.
My church's pastor based the sermon on this song today...truly inspirational it was.
Is there a link to see it? Sounds like it would be fascinating
i’ll never forget when i saw them in concert, when seth sang “and your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected” he put his hands up in prayer. i still think about it whenever i listen to this masterpiece
SuzN if that’s so, i still think it’s a brilliant song.
SuzN with all do respect, i think there’s a lot of worse things they could have done to us fans. that doesn’t change my perspective on them at all. i appreciate your input, though.
SuzN you are totally entitled to your opinion! :) you don’t need to change it if you don’t want to.
groovin’ van fleet that lyric only holds truth for the privileged. It is true- no matter the political outcome, life remains as IS for those who do not suffer from oppression.
Mina Lein oh i could not agree more!
Saw a piece of this song on TV commercial, tracked it down and discovered pure gold. Instant fan
Same here. Northwestern Mutual or something. I googled "there was a dream" and this popped up.
If you have a chance to go see them in concert it’s worth it
I saw them on Halloween in Asheville nc and they were dressed up as the wizard of oz it was a freaking amazing show
I did too...
Same
The Avett Brothers have an unparalleled ability to articulate into music and song the feelings and thoughts I can't sort out on my own. God bless 'em
i first heard this song when i was really young. it was an exhibit at a local art museum, and i sat there for ages just watching and watching it play. i forgot the name of it soon after, and for years it would be in my head, and i'd remember the song with the good lyrics and awesome animation. still, i could never find it. an in-depth search of the internet has finally allowed me to rediscover this song, and i'm so glad i did. absolutely love this song.
" If you're loved by someone you're never rejected..." These lyrics speak to my soul. I knew the first time I heard those words that I will always be a fan of these guys. It helped me look at life a little different. Thank you Avett Bros. Your shows are amazing. I was lucky enough to the their father come on stage and play some gospel. What an encore. God bless them.
This song soundtracked a poignant moment in my life- a hot, crowded train car at 2a home after a day in the city, in China, where I lived as the lone foreigner. Everyone else was asleep and I listened to this song as I looked out the dark window, and I knew I was where I should be.
"and your Life doesn't change by the "man" that's elected". That is Gospel!
At last I've found this song I heard on Pandora on a train forever ago and failed to thumbs-up!
Decided I wanted to go back loving to read books. Started with Colleen Hoover and her book is dedicated to you. I got curious and now I know why. Your songs are powerful.
I’ve had the same Philosophy professor for two semesters now and he plays this on our last day. Good man.
Might be their best song folks.... the literal message and with the harmony of the music. Complete!
It's hard to give them a best song.
I have wondered for years how these guys aren't more commercialized.
@@JA-zd4rz Right ? When pressed to express a "favorite" Avett Brothers song, I reply that ... "I have 5 children and could no more choose a favourite among them as choose a favourite Avett Brothers song."
Murder in the City is their song.
This is their best? Good god
I wish this song was not used in a shitty ad campaign.
The avert brothers make the world a better place
*Avett
As a girl Born and raised from Greenville North Carolina, I fing agree. 100%
*Avett
I completely agree.
And to the people correcting him; it's very clearly an accident. No need to correct the man.
I mean, would the Avett Brothers?
Definitely
I have listened to this a few times but have never felt it so fervently until right now .I hope all you beautiful people do exactly you without a doubt. Much love to all with ears for this.
If you have the chance go see them live. ❤Avett Brothers.
This is such a powerful song that I wish everyone would listen too.
This is the first and most important song I ever shared with my wife 6 years ago. We’re married now for 5 years, the song is still is the most important for us, despite the ups and downs that life throw you. Thank you Avett brothers for this life defining song.
One of my favorite songs. I’m a teenaged girl mainly listening to pop but these kind of songs still mean the most to me. They touch my soul like 99% of pop songs will never do.
Decide what to be and go be it.
When you really understand that, truly and deeply understand, the universe is completely at your fingertips. Much love.
nostalgia just hit me like a freight train
video enhances song for me. "I'm frightened by those who don't see it" I've seen The Avett Brothers 4 times, and I will keep going to their concerts until the shows are done, which I hope is never! I just love these guys.
The melancholy is so beautiful.
I am frightened because I refuse to think they don't see it; they just act like they don't. Or that there is a gray area.
There should be a word that describes what their voices are. That means warmth and wisdom, and home and peace, all wrapped up together in one word. Well, I guess there is LOVE.
I have been listening on repeat, no reason to stop now...
So happy for you and nothing but the best. Please share this journey you have been on, u will save many god bless you, I do wish I had found that 1 person
I've listen to this song a thousand times... after the incredible soul searching journey I've been on, I finally truly heard today! ❤
me, my parents, my aunt's and uncles and cousins and family friends all around a table playing cards with this song and many of their others is the perfect way that we spend our weekends. God bless the avett brothers for bringing my family close with their heart moving lyrics and songs ❤
Excellent words to ponder!
My parents and their close friends are all big fans of the avett brothers, so naturally I would always hear this song for the past 3 years when coming over, and although ive never shown it, I liked the song very much but i always told them "its eh. I like my music much better" (fall out boy, imagine dragons, etc.) Recently, a close family friend, who whenever i went to her house, would hear this song, got diagnosed with cancer. So I ecided to listen to the avett brothers, because it reminds me of her, since ive known her my entire life. This is my first time watching this video and I must say, this is a work of art. Its a shame only 1 million people have decided or stumbled upon it.
You stay classy San Diego
Prayers to you! 🙏
I know it’s been 4 years since you wrote this but how is she doing now?
I love going on bike rides with my kids and this song is how i feel on the bike paths. They are soo peaceful and quiet and the trees and nature drowned out the histle of city life. Back to the basics in a sort. Like when the town falls apart back to nature. I love it!
Beautiful. Makes you smile and cry at the same time.
These lyrics to this song are just magnificent.
Along with "I and Love and You," this song was something of an anthem to the time of my life after college - from 2008 to 2011.
Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good. That honor, courage and virtue mean everything; that power and money . . . money and power mean nothing. That good always triumphs over evil. And I want you to remember this, that love - true love never dies. Remember that boy . . . remember that. Doesn’t matter if it is true or not, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.
This song help me through my suicidal thoughts
Indian Giver keep it up we all love you I just lost my brother and hero a yr ago to suicide..
Me too.
Hang in there Kyle Erickson if I read that correct ..
Apparently, you're not the only one. Thanks for sticking around.
Avett wisdom is as sharp as double edge sword to the beast that mocks and wants destruction of man.
A burning torch for the weary and broken and a shield from the whispers of night.
God bless em both.
and I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
This song always reminds me of my mom she loves this song she even framed some of the lyrics and hung it up
Btw she’s not dead but I only see her every other week
What lyric did she frame ?
Beautifully haunting
Hi Robert
It's a beautiful & heart touching song❤❤Hello from Scotland!.
How are you doing today? I guess you have a great passion for music just like I do? I hope to hear from you soon!!!
One thing about music is that when you're sad you listen to the lyrics, when you happy you dance to the beat!
This song keeps me sober, i listen to it everytime I doubt myself.
"When nothing is owed or deserved or expected.
And your life doesn't change by the man that's elected.
If you're loved by someone, you're never rejected.
Decide what to be and go be it."
It's gonna be ok, I promise. 🙂
Coronavirus has given me a head full of doubt. I'm sorry for the darkness upon our world. My dream is that one day we see this world heals, not just of this, but all of the atrocities that lie upon it.
Well said my friend
Thank you for the comment, well spoken indeed!
How about now?
Only Jesus can heal the world
GRAZIE MILLE PER quello che mi avete dato, grazie per le emozioni continuate a suscitare, siete nella mia anima🥰anche se l'inglese non ho potuto studiarlo sino ad oggi la mi anima comprende♥️u grande saluto da Italia & Argentina 😁💯
Thank You Eric😊
10 years working for the state. 10 years at 16.09 as an electrician FOD........ One day I told my father who'd retired from the state after 34 years, I can't do this anymore I believe. Instead of telling me to stick it out he told me to talk to a best friend of his at a company. 7 years later now I'm a commercial industrial electrician for a hospital making 31.04 and some of the best friends I could ever ask for. We fish and hunt and hang out after work all the time. All it takes is one frustrated moment to vent to someone, and it can change your life for the better.
Continually giving me the inspiration I need. 🙌 ❤
I’m frightened by thous who don’t see it ! It’s a wake up call to the American people who just don’t see it ✌️
Avett Brothers bring out so many emotions. Real feelings come to light. Great, great group.
RIP Kathryn…we’ll be both there someday
I don't usually like videos, let alone comment, ... this made me happy and that's all...
soo emotional.. soo many people don't realize happy is a part of emotionalism ( album reference) #hadtosayit
Love this song very fitting for my travels through this life.Thank You for this song
I play this often.. And just pray my daughter "is frightened by those who don't see it"! 👍💕
Damn this has to be my favorite song by them.
I have to agree
No not really
When I first got this video on iTunes a few years ago, I've been in love with their sound and how perfect and melodic they are. One of my favorite videos of all time. :)
Why does this bring tears to my eyes?
Because you're human!
You need to open the door to the bird cage. Love.
This us truly one of my favorite songs. I'm 4 months shy of hitting the big 50 soon. A half a century. Listening to music my whole life and all the great classics, but nowadays thing's have changed and not for the better. This song helps me get through and to always stand strong in my beliefs. As a proud southern born traditional conservative American I'd be blind, deaf, and dumb not to see that "There is a darkness upon us all (Government corruption) that's flooded in light (freedom) In thr fine print they (liberal media/fake news) tell us what's wrong and whats right. It comes in black and iit comes in white and I'm frightened by those who don't see it. Where (America) nothing is Owed, Deserved, or Expected. And our lives will not change by the man that's elected (All politicians) If you're loved by someone you're never rejected. Decide what to be and go be it. 😊
Tennessee is such a special place❤My Dad was born in WV,My Mom was born in NJ.Their gone now,My family pretty much has gone on their own ways,🙏❤️✝️ Tennesse ❤️ has always been special to me,🙏✝️🥰
I think that It's meant in my Soul & Heart God Bless Tennessee,
People Are So Friendly!🙏
Why does this song make me wanna get a financial advisor? 💵💰😎💰 💵
I’m here because I’m reading slammed by Colleen Hoover and she said the book was dedicated to this band because of this song. So here I am listening to it.
This brings me nostalgia being with my dad who loves The Avett brothers and it makes me cry every time
What a beautiful, soulful song!! 😍😍
There's so many who don't see it.
Been a fan for years and am finally learning the back story of this video, and watching it for the first time. Thanks to Avett Brothers archivist (shout out to Tim M.),for including the interview with the very talented and special Jason Mitcham, in his Avett Bros Archive fanzine Long Story Short ...Vol 1. This is amazing work all around
I remember hearing this song for the first time years ago by chance. Having no idea of who the Avett Brothers were. I'd never heard such a moving song full of inspiration. I'm so glad to see this song has helped so many people in the comment section.
From Greenville NC. That means born and raised.I love the Avett brothers, and I adore this song.
This song restored my faith.
Still love this song in 2021
I saw this painting animation at an Art museum in North Carolina. I heard this song while sitting on this little couch by this big projected screen. I'm glad I found it again.
The Garbage guy from American Idol 2020 brought me here. So much love for him.
me too, and we have the same first name..weird.
L T whats your name? Can I add you in fb? :))
At Red Rocks 2021. Top Notch
My mom has this song on tape and we used to listen to it while driving our old rv. I forgot the name and had to look it up again and I'm so glad I found it
There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light, and the fine friends that tell me what's wrong and what's right. There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light, and I'm frightened by those who don't see it.
Free the Birds
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light...
Decide what to be and go be it....what a motivational quote❤who is here because of Colleen Hoover?
RIP my dearest Mother, she loved this song. ❤️
best Avetts song ever!!!
You have to feel sorry for the 461 people who gave this a thumbs down. really must suck to be them
They must be heartless souls
The avett brother make me cry.
*happy tears*
Their song’s make me so very happy...
The honesty and sincerity shines through. Good music for these times.
[Verse 1]
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
[Verse 2]
When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it
[Chorus]
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
[Verse 3]
There’s a darkness upon you that’s flooded in light
And in the fine print they tell you what’s wrong and what’s right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
[Chorus]
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
[Outro]
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
I agree with top comment. Such a good song for how badly men have been treated and that makes women suffer too. This song makes you do three shots of Jack and kareoke and find love of your life
Forgot about this song. Man, it's still as good as ever. Meaningful music.
There is no more important message than the one contained in this song and every human that has ever lived has the potential to understand it if they just look.
This is the year 2100 and you are listening to this song 🎶 I will not be here anymore , peace and love to you. Keep up on your dreams!
This song total encompasses the world as a whole both the past, present and future! This is one of the most epic songs I've ever heard. Surpassing anything the Doors or Mr Jimi has ever done or wrote and illustrated as well! If you don't see it , well I'm frightened as well! Whatever you may have grown up knowing cn maybe destroyed before your very eyes! 10,20,30 or 40 years and what u once knew will be gone! Multiple that by ×2 , 60 to 80& 100 years! Where will everything you know be in 40 to 50 years? Something to ask and think about for all in there 20's and 30's
☀️⚡💚⚡☀️
I saw U..s once live, near Pittsburgh, it was great! Thank You, for sharing as U..s do so well!
@avettbrothers you guys deserve more credit than you get. I love you guys.
