So when I was little, my dad always played The Avett Brothers and I just sang them without understanding how beautiful their songs really are. And then I grew up and I remembered this song and searched for it and everything is changed… I think I can actually understand a lot more about my father now with these songs that just randomly get stuck in my head….
I don't think age has much to do with "growing up". Some people "grow up" more in a few months time than others who spend a lot of years comfortably in their early teens. I'm going to go out on a limb and say such growing isn't comfortable nor by choice. If you look at someone and are amazed at how much they have their life together I can almost guarantee you they will deny it and instead just say they did what they had to. Also a lot of them will more than likely give credit to the Almighty for letting them do as well as they have.
Seth Avett sang this live at the Knoxville concert yesterday, and I bet you half the audience was in tears. It was beautiful. We were all singing along, and my god his voice sounds better live. I'll love the Avett Brothers till I die die die.
when I was little, I was raised on power ballads and sweet acoustic lullabies. I’m revisiting some of them and hearing this again just brought me almost to tears. It’s a song of humanity;.. all we really want is to be loved. Hate gets in the way, but can they really exist without love? They’re polar opposites, and yet.. they’re inseparable. It’s beautiful, really.
I have always loved this song but listening to it now just gives it more meaning. Realizing that love will come into all of our lives and sometimes it leaves and hate is what remains, but love always comes back. Afterall thats all anyone wants...is just to be loved.
I feel this to an extent. I have an amazing and just all around incredible bf now but this song reminds me of my ex husband. He wasn’t great but we were kids when we met and it’s hard on me. He is addicted to drugs and I just hope and pray that one day he will get off drugs to be a father. Even though he was abusive if he decides to get his life together I’d fully support him. 😓
True song writing is not dead!! I was getting very depressed over the state of music until I heard this...brilliance at the basics. It wins every time!
In middle school our English teacher showed us this song, and explained how much he loved this song. Later in the year we learned that he was moving away from his family and job. We asked why he was moving and he just said there was something waiting there for him. But he promised to come to our graduation because we where the last year of kids he would teach
A man sang Bob Dylan’s Lay Lady Lay to me years ago & we were in love until Army ‘s service took his life, he gave me children & I see him in their eyes
I’ve been obsessed with this song forever. I’ve recently met a guy in LA who is the total opposite of me and we have both wondered why we are so connected and electric together and I just realized that he is my Hate. Can’t stop crying like a child.
Cutest. Love song. Ever. I don't know if its just all these great love songs I've been hearing lately, or the great and terrible, sweet and bittersweet, easy and god-forsakenly difficult things I've gone through lately, but I've just been able to connect with songs, and relive and revive emotions so much lately. It's kind of crazy, in a sense, in a good way.
Today, this song has helped me cope. My husband has bipolar with homicidal and suicidal ideation. When he is episodic, like today, his thought patterns become scattered and hard to follow. We only just married (gone to live in my car together since we can’t yet afford a place) and he abandoned me at a mental health appointment… taking off with my car, my wallet, my birth certificate, my clothes, my bedding, my stuffed bear, and my heart. I just wanted a phone call or some kind of sign, too. I can forgive everything. But I needed to know he was alive. I have this forlorn hope that someday he will be better and he will still want to be with me.
"There's a fine line between love and hate" is a very real statement c: Whether you hate someone or you love someone, you still care deeply about them. The only difference is one's negative and the other is positive~
"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." I love you Joshua Kaleb Pruitt.
I wasted so much of my life as Hate and wasted years of Love's life. To the alcoholics out there: please don't let this song affirm your relationship, rather let it wake you up to how dysfunctional your relationship is. Look what you are doing to Love.
I'm married to an alcoholic, and I love this song... I sent it to a fellow Al-Anon member and she related too. I know it's arrogant to relate to "love" and place our husbands in the "hate" category... And Al-anon's are typically a sick people as well... We love to try to fix, manage, and control people (these are our defects of character)... BUT I do relate so much to this song anyways. Especially the ending of this song. Just wishing he comes home safe.
I found this song due to a boy singing it at my school's talent show, and it is really a lot more meaningful than the rest of those middle schoolers will understand. (Mostly because they all just giggled whenever he said "drink")
I had a 6yr love affair with a woman whom i prayed to meet and had met in another life. Idk if i played it wrong, but this song encompasses our relationship. Love and hate because they come from the same place. Id do it all over again.
I think the relationship starts that way, but the fact that he apologizes leads me to believe that this is a song that takes you through that journey of him changing. He could be just saying it but I feel like Hate is really apologizing for his actions and Love is just reminding him that it's alright for him to mess up because she loves him anyway.
good stuff like this comes out often, you just have to look for it. Im glad that your 13 and looking for real music. just keep your search going and dont get caught up in the mainstream. carry on young buck.
It's a message that it doesn't matter how much hate and indifference is out in the world, because love is there no matter what...yours and that's it forever. BTW It is not good to be indifferent. Indifference is a lack of care. One closes their eyes to emotion and passion when they are indifferent. It may be easier, but without emotion, there is no love or its antithesis...hate.
I've been going through some self evaluation, I always thought of this as a sad love song to someone else, but lately, I think it's a love some to one's self.
El amor escribe una carta y se la envía a odio: mis vacaciones acaban y llego a casa tarde, el clima estuvo bien, y el océano estuvo grandioso y no puedo esperar a verte de nuevo. Odio lee la carta y la lanza lejos... A nadie le importa si te vas o te quedas apenas note que te fuiste tan lejos te veré o tal vez no, quien sabe... El amor va cantando mientras va navegando por el cielo... el agua esta tan azul para sus hermosos ojos, y todo el mundo lo sabe, cuando ella alza el vuelo, y también, cuando ella aterriza. El odio mantiene la cabeza alta y camina entre la gente con cualquier extraño y desconocido que ambiciona, y saluda a cualquier solitario que conoce... con una apariencia muy seria en el rostro. El amor llega a salvo llevando su equipaje, cargando con ella las mejores cosas que sabemos la razón de vivir y la razon de madurar,... de confianza, esperanza y preocupación... El odio esta sentado abrigado en su auto... sin darle importancia a la luna o las estrellas... vagamente acabando lo ultimo de la jarra de lo mas fuerte que puede beber... El amor toma un taxi, que un joven hombre conduce ni bien el la ve, se siente esperanzado. pero algunas lagrimas después, al final del camino, por que el tal vez no la vuelva a ver nunca... El odio llega a casa con suerte de seguir vivo... gritado en la acera y sobre la pista el reloj de la cocina marca 2:55 y el reloj de la cocina se vuelve lento. El amor estuvo esperando, paciente y amable esperando una llamada o alguna señal,... por esa persona que se encuentra lejos de su alcance que llegara a salvo a sus brazos. El odio tropieza y se inclina en la puerta, con la cabeza cansada mirando el suelo... el dice: amor lo siento, y ella dice: ¿de que?. soy tuya y es todo no importa, no tuve que estar, lejos por tanto tiempo... soy tuya y es todo, por siempre... Eres mía y es todo por siempre...
Still listening 2024 unarguably one of the best tear jerkers ever but with love we win at the end of it all

Soooo you're 5?

You and your father have excellent taste in music.

@boogieboy
Hate can be followed back to fear. Find the fear, face it in order to heal & expand love.
I have always loved this song but listening to it now just gives it more meaning. Realizing that love will come into all of our lives and sometimes it leaves and hate is what remains, but love always comes back. Afterall thats all anyone wants...is just to be loved.
This band proves that you don't need repeating hooks and chorus' to create a brilliant song. Poetry at its best.
An amazing man sang and played this for me on his guitar yesterday, and I think I'm in love......
update?
Had that very same experience the other day
How we doing 1 year later?
Any chance it worked out?
MARRIED HIMM?
It’s almost been 4 years & I still think about him when I hear this song. If only we were the same people we used to be
Goddamn.
I feel this to an extent. I have an amazing and just all around incredible bf now but this song reminds me of my ex husband. He wasn’t great but we were kids when we met and it’s hard on me. He is addicted to drugs and I just hope and pray that one day he will get off drugs to be a father. Even though he was abusive if he decides to get his life together I’d fully support him. 😓
@@Msmayhem1990 I hope both of you found some sort of semblance of peace. Sending love your way ☺️
To me this is a parable to motivate us all to be more loving, and to love one another unconditionally. I'm playing this at my wedding!
True song writing is not dead!! I was getting very depressed over the state of music until I heard this...brilliance at the basics. It wins every time!
Had to listen to this in language arts. Its beautiful. Im so glad our teacher shared this.
My dad always played this song for me when i was little, this is great hearing again!!
In middle school our English teacher showed us this song, and explained how much he loved this song. Later in the year we learned that he was moving away from his family and job. We asked why he was moving and he just said there was something waiting there for him. But he promised to come to our graduation because we where the last year of kids he would teach
Did you ever find out why he moved?
And??
What happens after that
Wtf dood. Talk ab a fuvking non-sequitor
@@forthethrill26I assume a chic
Some of the best songwriters since Simon & Garfunkel....beautiful stuff.
I listen to this song when I need a good cry. Ballads tend to strike a chord on my heartstrings... :)
I saw a comment on another Avett video & some guy said, "If I could sing like Seth, every word outta my mouth would be in song." SAME!! :)
Some days you're love
Some days you're hate
Too true!
A man sang Bob Dylan’s Lay Lady Lay to me years ago & we were in love until Army ‘s service took his life, he gave me children & I see him in their eyes
I saw This live like a week ago. Cried so hard, such a beautiful song.
+Aaron Wise i'm going today
I love you S, thank you for singing this beautiful song to me 💜 M.M.
This song always causes me to reflect on my life and those who love me. To them, I can only say "I'm sorry for the pain I caused. You deserve better."
This makes me cry like an idiot. Beautiful song.
I was just going to make that comment
Such a brilliant yet simple premise, Love writes a letter to hate
I’ve been obsessed with this song forever. I’ve recently met a guy in LA who is the total opposite of me and we have both wondered why we are so connected and electric together and I just realized that he is my Hate. Can’t stop crying like a child.
Same 🖤
this song just completely summarizes my relationship. no matter what you do, i'm yours and that's it, forever.
I want to thank my friend for sharing this song with me. Thanks Lindsey!
First heard this song in my English. Teacher played it for the book "We All Fall Down" I've been in love ever since
Cutest. Love song. Ever. I don't know if its just all these great love songs I've been hearing lately, or the great and terrible, sweet and bittersweet, easy and god-forsakenly difficult things I've gone through lately, but I've just been able to connect with songs, and relive and revive emotions so much lately. It's kind of crazy, in a sense, in a good way.
My 10th grade English teacher played this for us during class. That's when I knew when he was the best teacher ever.
Honestly, this is one of my favorite love songs ever... Avett Brothers rock the lyrics and the simplistic beautiful melody
The great thing about this song is the Truth. Hate needs Love. Love just is.
Arguably their best song.
I really like I Wish I Was too
Well I’d really like to argue, but I quit... that’ll be five bucks!
This song is amazing!!!
I got a little teary eyed!
Today, this song has helped me cope.
My husband has bipolar with homicidal and suicidal ideation. When he is episodic, like today, his thought patterns become scattered and hard to follow.

I was there too :) It was beautiful, and his connection to the audience was palpable. They are amazing.
This is their best song…in my opinion.
The story telling of it all 🙌
I saw this live for the first time this weekend in Greensboro. It was amazing. I kind of liked them before the show. Hooked big time now.
Slammed brought me here.. and I love it
BirdsCantFly i literally just finished the book and came here! Hope I'm not too late.
same lmao
SAMEE
Colleen hoover rocks🤘🤘🤘
Aahhh...The Avett Brothers, their songs so full of wisdom and meaning! I can always relate to them no matter where I'm at in my life.
This is now one of my favorite songs
My personal favorite song by them. Super sad though, and I cry most of the time.
I love this song! Cheers from Brazil.
i think this song means that being filled with love with make your path through life easier but if your filled with hate it will be way tougher
The Avett Brothers will always amaze me
I love the words. What a great voice for a tender song.
Simply. Amazing.
It's like they wrote this song just for me.
Most poetic song ever..these guys r pure amazing and talented...so great and beautiful
This song brings a tear to my eye and a special warmth to my soul. It is so amazing.
i actually found this song through a cover of it, and i'm really glad i clicked on it :)
"I'm yours and that's it, forever" I wish when you told me that, it was true. I still love you. I always will.
Sorry for your loss
I hope you’re okay now 💛
This song is so beautiful!
Now this is a simple favorite. :)
I really like the end, I think that's when it either makes me smile or cry, just from happiness. It's a sweet song.
This is pure poetry. It breaks my heart a little everytime I hear it.
A few nights ago a cutie on Skype played this for me. Listening to him sing this put me in such a bliss
Amazing song, thanks Charles Baker!
every song they write has meaning to me i love it
Saw them at interlochen. I love this song! I'm 13 love there music!!
such a good song. brilliant lyrics, and his voice, just so amazing.
Great song~ it reminds me so much of Camp Fitch :)
God I love this song 💖.
Goosebumps. Goosebumps. Goosebumps....
and more goosebumps.
Simply honest and lovely
"Love has been waiting, patient and kind.

That the one that she cares for, who's out of his mind,

I love you Joshua Kaleb Pruitt.
Seen these guys at a festival a long time ago. Awesome harmonizing and honest lyrics

First comment is 7 years!!! Why a good song 🎵
What*
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.
I found this song due to a boy singing it at my school's talent show, and it is really a lot more meaningful than the rest of those middle schoolers will understand.
(Mostly because they all just giggled whenever he said "drink")
"yeah right this kid cant drink l o l"
God BLESS that kid!!
His parents are raising him right!

took
Best Avett brothers song
Beautiful song! Love and hate at the same time!!
I love this song...
I wanted to cry.. Goal achieved.
I love this so much.
I just love the sound of this song.
I had a 6yr love affair with a woman whom i prayed to meet and had met in another life. Idk if i played it wrong, but this song encompasses our relationship. Love and hate because they come from the same place. Id do it all over again.
Ah, this is beautiful.
I love this song so much!
This song is great amazing and it sends a chilling sensation down ur spine a good chill
It's just as heartbreaking as it was the first time I heard it in 2008.
You know those songs that remind you of a specific time in your life? This song is the fall of my junior year in high school
I think the relationship starts that way, but the fact that he apologizes leads me to believe that this is a song that takes you through that journey of him changing. He could be just saying it but I feel like Hate is really apologizing for his actions and Love is just reminding him that it's alright for him to mess up because she loves him anyway.

I miss you.
Pretty Awesome.
Love this song Seth!

I just love this.
oh, THIS will be my wedding song
El amor escribe una carta y se la envía a odio:
mis vacaciones acaban y llego a casa tarde,
el clima estuvo bien, y el océano estuvo grandioso
y no puedo esperar a verte de nuevo.
Odio lee la carta y la lanza lejos...
A nadie le importa si te vas o te quedas
apenas note que te fuiste tan lejos
te veré o tal vez no, quien sabe...
El amor va cantando mientras va navegando por el cielo...
el agua esta tan azul para sus hermosos ojos,
y todo el mundo lo sabe, cuando ella alza el vuelo,
y también, cuando ella aterriza.
El odio mantiene la cabeza alta y camina entre la gente
con cualquier extraño y desconocido que ambiciona,
y saluda a cualquier solitario que conoce...
con una apariencia muy seria en el rostro.
El amor llega a salvo llevando su equipaje,
cargando con ella las mejores cosas que sabemos
la razón de vivir y la razon de madurar,...
de confianza, esperanza y preocupación...
El odio esta sentado abrigado en su auto...
sin darle importancia a la luna o las estrellas...
vagamente acabando lo ultimo de la jarra
de lo mas fuerte que puede beber...
El amor toma un taxi, que un joven hombre conduce
ni bien el la ve, se siente esperanzado.
pero algunas lagrimas después, al final del camino,
por que el tal vez no la vuelva a ver nunca...
El odio llega a casa con suerte de seguir vivo...
gritado en la acera y sobre la pista
el reloj de la cocina marca 2:55
y el reloj de la cocina se vuelve lento.
El amor estuvo esperando, paciente y amable
esperando una llamada o alguna señal,...
por esa persona que se encuentra lejos de su alcance
que llegara a salvo a sus brazos.
El odio tropieza y se inclina en la puerta,
con la cabeza cansada mirando el suelo...
el dice: amor lo siento, y ella dice: ¿de que?.
soy tuya y es todo no importa,
no tuve que estar, lejos por tanto tiempo...
soy tuya y es todo, por siempre...
Eres mía y es todo por siempre...
Avett brothers carperter
Back to cry again... why did you do this to me? Years later and I still can't stand it... not that you'll ever see this.
I can really see this song going well on the back of a photo reel.
For Luis. I love him, and it is the loneliest thing I've ever done.
my teacher showed me this song in class yesterday i think its a pretty dang good song
Omg this made me feel things. I’m crying
@maaaaaaaaddie the last three lines get to me always!
