    I cannot tell you how many times I have seen Scott constantly trying to get his banjo in tune. must get old.

    The Avett Brothers are so underrated
    Watching them live is like a religious experience, only much better:

    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.

    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.

    • @21580anthony
      @21580anthony 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      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

    • @21580anthony

    "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 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.

    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
