    I named my daughter Brooklynn after falling in love with this song, and subsequently this band. I've been singing this song to my Brooklynn since she was still in the womb. She's 3.5 now and begs to hear "her song" all the time. She even sings along to it now.

    “Three words that became hard to say, ‘I and Love and You.” I always liked the line poetically but I never really thought that would be me. 9 years later, now that I’ve been “dumbed down and numbed by time and age,” it applies in a way I didn’t expect. It’s not hard to say because of reluctance, it’s hard because I can’t feel it anymore…

    I was going to get married to this song, but it didn't work out. I spent a lot of time resenting this song, and my resentment had nothing to do with the song itself. I introduced this song to my ex and we both, in our own way, fell in love with it. And even though we didn't work out, I think it's beautiful I was able to share something like this with someone. Sometimes, love doesn't work. There's too many obstacles, too many differences. That doesn't mean you stop trying, or that you give up. All it means is that, someone came along who meant a lot to you, and they left an impact on your life. And that should be cherished. And you should never give up on love.

      I called off my own engagement last spring and I felt the same. I was so hurt and upset and couldn’t imagine how things had gone so wrong out of the blue after years together. I think this year I’m finally accepting that sometimes relationships just don’t work out but I should give future ones the same hope I gave my past one regardless and to enjoy the journey, appreciating what happened. Life is just unpredictable that way, but it’s still worth it.

    I and Love and You
    The Avett Brothers
    Load the car and write the note
    Grab your bag and grab your coat
    Tell the ones that need to know
    We are headed north
    One foot in and one foot back
    But it don't pay to live like that
    So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
    For never to return
    Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
    Are you aware the shape I'm in?
    My hands they shake, my head it spins
    Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
    When at first I learned to speak
    I used all my words to fight
    With him and her and you and me
    Ah, but it's just a waste of time
    Yeah, it's such a waste of time
    That woman she's got eyes that shine
    Like a pair of stolen polished dimes
    She asked to dance, I said it's fine
    I'll see you in the morning time
    Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
    Are you aware the shape I'm in?
    My hands they shake, my head it spins
    Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
    Three words that became hard to say
    I and Love and You
    What you were then, I am today
    Look at the things I do
    Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
    Are you aware the shape I'm in?
    My hands they shake, my head it spins
    Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in
    Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in
    Are you aware the shape I'm in
    My hands they shake, my head it spins, (spins)
    Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in
    Dumbed-down and numbed by time and age
    Your dreams the catch, the world the cage
    The highway sets the travelers stage
    All exits look the same
    Three words that became hard to say
    I and Love and You
    I and Love and You
    I and Love and You

      Elena, I won't blow up 4 people's marriages with 6 children between them for a 22 year old bad mistake, she lives on a different continent and out of her life I will stay. I don't stay in communication, couldn't function day to day if I did. Now the only grand gesture I can offer is to leave her rear her kids in peace, she is ultimately happy and I guess that's her best gift she can give back to me. 'i won't be held responsible for my actions' if we meet later on in life in a retirement home I told her. She said 'ditto, world can go whistle then'. Anyway gestures grand or little, it is what it is, can't stop where my mind dreams. It transcends everything practical and the 5000 km's

    I was fortunate to be introduced to the Avett brothers music a few weeks ago, by a good friend who took me to their concert at the Murat Theater(downtown Indianapolis). I came away from the concert thinking how could I have lived so long without the Avent Brothers music? So very unique and so very beautiful with lyrics so relevant. love this song, and all of their music.

    My language art teacher said she was putting up her Christmas tree and she heard a song that reminded her of someone in my period, she couldn’t find it but I had to go to her class during study hall and she said she found it, she played it for me. My name is Brooklyn. None the less is started to tear up

    They are a reality in a world of entertainment built with smoke and mirrors, and when they play, the common man can break the mirrors and blow the smoke away, so that all that’s left behind is the unwavering beauty of the songs. That’s the commotion, that’s the celebration, and wherever The Avett Brothers are tonight, that’s what you’ll find.

      +Tracy Amason Simmons You are absolutely correct. I have loved them since first listen and that love has only deepened and broadened since then. Like any profound truth, the revelations keep becoming apparent. I have been an audiophile my entire life but *never* have I ever been so absolutely *in love* with any music and those who perform it than these ... Words seem to lose their meaning, but you nailed it. Thank you for taking the time to share those lovely thoughts with the rest of us. Namaste

    My son used to sing this to his daughter as a very young toddler. I did not know this or the band or song. He passed away at 37 from an unproven incident ! I do not know how this in so many ways describes him and her thru his shortened life! We played this for her at almost 16 yrs old and she cried and cried. Only two songs affected her this way. She is very private and she could not hold back. I as his Mom loved it as it described him so well with shaking hands and a mind that spins ! He was scared when his son was born that he would never please people involved but his daughter and we were unconditional in his love for them. He has been gone over a year now and it feels like a nightmare for us but we know he is in a better place but we are still thinking of how to pursue this with anyone of power to even care. So sad that there are people that are so lazy and uncaring to do their job. We had a Life Celebration and so many people came he was very loved He was so smart, in gifted and talented was a trained carpenter and millwright but had a Gypsy lifestyle loved people of all kinds a loved his children . Thank you forever for this song for her it will stay with her and I forever!

    I can’t do it with this song right now! There are times I can and love it but right now the tears flowI have not heard those words from you in so long, not a hug, not an indication that you even ever think of me, miss me, or that I even exist. I do not reach out because I have tried to give you space and time, but time goes on and then I don’t know what to say to you and when we speak I try to honestly answer the questions you have full knowing of the disappointment I will here in your voice. Fixing things is hard work and does occur on other’s timetables which can be hard to understand but our choices are not always the choices of others and we are not here to judge but to seek to understand the best
    we can.

    January 2014. Nokia Music lead me to strange places. One of them being this. Black clouds all over the sky. I've got my black jacket and jeans on. Skullcandy headphones on. I visit the same place everyday, but it feels like going someplace different everytime. Life wasn't best, but I'd love to go back to that place someday. Maybe in the very end, once again.

    Load the car and write the note
    Grab your bag and grab your coat
    Tell the ones that need to know
    We are headed north
    One foot in and one foot back
    But it don't pay to live like that
    So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
    For never to return
    Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
    Are you aware the shape I'm in?
    My hands they shake, my head it spins
    Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
    When at first I learned to speak
    I used all my words to fight
    With him and her and you and me
    Ah, but it's just a waste of time
    Yeah, it's such a waste of time
    That woman she's got eyes that shine
    Like a pair of stolen polished dimes
    She asked to dance, I said it's fine
    I'll see you in the morning time
    Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
    Are you aware the shape I'm in?
    My hands they shake, my head it spins
    Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
    Three words that became hard to say
    I and Love and You
    What you were than I am today
    Look at the things I do
    Ah, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
    Are you aware the shape I'm in?
    My hands they shake, my head it spins
    Ah, Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in
    Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in
    Are you aware the shape I'm in
    My hands they shake, my head it spins, (spins)
    Ah, Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in
    Dumbed-down and numbed by time and age
    Your dreams they catch the world a cage
    The highway sets the travelers stage
    All exits look the same
    Three words that became hard to say
    I and Love and You
    I and Love and You
    I and Love and You
