    The power of this song and the Avett Brothers.......This song makes me smile about my ex-wife. We did our honeymoon improvised up the PCH. The first town had a seaside bar we went to. This song reminds me of the good times. Even of they ended.

    Almost 2020: the Avett sound we all so desperately crave. Pure and raw

      He has a good amount of songs on older albums, it's just that a lot of those songs didn't really fit his voice too good, his best was probably "the day marvin gaye died"

    Absolutely wonderful boys!!!! I LOVE the three part harmony!!! I was in a hair salon today, just on the spur. I said I was going to Gulf Shores and a guy behind me said he'd just gotten back from there. I asked if he'd been to the festival down there...he said yes. I said I missed my favorite band by only a few days. He asked who and I told him the Avetts. He freaked out and said, "THEY"RE MY FAVORITE BAND TOO!!! That's why I drove down there." Random Avett fan encounter, lol. Have a good un'.

    Still listening, and even playing ALONGSIDE My Heroes, Scott and Seth Avett with my Band, Black Water Boogie from Jackson, Ms. on Playlists on Spotify, AppleMusic, here on TH-cam Music etc., and this published 6 days after my 18th birthday and the Day I Graduated my freshman Year at MSU, where I first heard these two brothers' Genius writing, picking, and Singing, which inspired me to buy and learn on my first 5- string Banjo, and today, because of The Avett Brothers, I am proudly Signed to Ark Studios Media Group with my 5 piece band, Touring the South, and have even recieved State and National Music Awards and Recognition. Thank God for The Avett Brothers, and God Bless the whole Avett family and Band!

    If these guys are not the band of the next decade, I will be disappointed. This is Americana music at its very zenith.
