He doesn't sound warmed up when he starts to sing, but then it just becomes amazing. The reason they're so damn good is because they groove so well together. Their live show was incredible, the best show I've ever seen.
I heard this song one night in a Starbucks being played in their system and it really caught my attention. As soon as I got home I looked up the song and have now listened to it a thousand times. I even wanted this as my wedding song, when I was engaged. Beautiful song, underrated band.
God I love them. My favorite part of this video wasn't the song of the music but their energy. You can see they all find that place inside then where happiness flows and in that instant , you can feel it too. It's just beautiful. Keep spreading the love boys!!!
Went to Lallapalooza in Chicago. Best show of all of them..All three days hands down...Awesome show. Had never heard them before. My friend told em to go. Not disappointing. Great live...Great music. Well done..
I saw these guys playing for free in the streets of Winston-Salem, and even when I was that young, they brought so much life with their unique sound and presence. I am so proud of how far they have come! I am 15 years old now, and my grandfather, who introduced us to them is gone now, but I am eternally grateful to him for leading me to probably one of my favorite bands of all time. Love them! Always will!
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 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 When at first I learned to speak I used all my words to fight With him and her and you and me Oh but its just a waste of time Yeah its such a waste of time That woman shes 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 Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape im in My hands they shake my head it spins Ah 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 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 Dumbed down and numbed by time and age Your dreams to catch the world, the cage The highway sets the travelers stage All exits look the same
As I walk through any part of Brooklyn when I’m there; this song consistently pops in my head and I sing the chorus, like today... People must think I’m crazy as I walk and sing/hum.
I've been sick for three days, but ha, look at this, I am smiling!!! I love you boys, so much. thank you. For sacrifice. Hard work, and the music this produces.
I'm terrible at memorize songs but I've listened to the avett brothers so much I just know all the lyrics to all there songs by heart! I love you guys and hope you guys never stop!

The album version of this song is great. The live version is great, too. But this one is by far the best rendition. Anyone agree?
True.
agreed! so wowed!
I agree
Absolutely. This version floors me every time.
Yes very much

I definitely miss him most 😊😍😘💛💚💙 I & love, it's true 😍
saw them live w/ my dad, and cried the whole show. I couldn't help myself. It was the most liberating feeling in my whole life.
They are some of the few that sound exactly the same live as they do in their studio versions! (If not better!)
LOVE THEM
Gosh.....last time I heard music like this was in around 1970 and I first heard The Band. I so do love this....most excellent....
Amen
My name is Brooklyn. Sometimes i just sit and imagine that they're singing to me.
ditto!
Can I graduate
It's a neat name. It is Neat to have a song with your name in it. Sure, you can pretend it's about you, Why not?
This performance gives me chills every time. I love this...
My eyes well up almost every time I hear this song. One of my favorite songs of all time.
I get the chills... Few artists are able to speak to the soul like these guys.
They just _nail_ it. They consistently nail it. And, yeah, this one in particular is just a crusher.
Same

Seth just starts grooving... he doesn't care. I love these guys more every year.
I honestly don't understand how you can even get this good at music. They're just on a whole other level.
This a brilliant song.....arrangement...lyrics.....The whole feel is amazing to me.
Definitely the AUDIOPHILE version. The rich natural audio quality here is phenomenal.
Best version. Nailed it
Masterpiece
I don't get how anyone could dislike this song.

Oh my god the same thing happened to me when I went to lollapalooza this year too! Never heard of them but they were amazing!

Killer version... Hot damn
LAKE AND WILL!!!
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.
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
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
When at first I learned to speak
I used all my words to fight
With him and her and you and me
Oh but its just a waste of time
Yeah its such a waste of time
That woman shes 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
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape im in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Ah 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
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
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age
Your dreams to catch the world, the cage
The highway sets the travelers stage
All exits look the same
I forget how much I enjoy them....then they play them at this Starbucks and I recall. If only I could see them live.
I hope you get an opportunity. They are my very favorite live band.
Their set last night was 25 songs ..2 hrs long. They give their all.
+macfae thanks. That's good to know. They sound like they do.
As I walk through any part of Brooklyn when I’m there; this song consistently pops in my head and I sing the chorus, like today... People must think I’m crazy as I walk and sing/hum.
This will always be my favourite version.
seriously who the hell goes through these tracks and dislikes them. they are some of the best musicians i have heard in years!
Love it...I'm from NC too..thanks lads...
Didn't think I could love them more....Yea to @True Sadness. Stronger and stronger grow the boys...Thanks to Mike!

I absolutely hate when people comment about the amount of dislikes but seriously are there people out there that dont like this?
I've been sick for three days, but ha, look at this, I am smiling!!! I love you boys, so much. thank you. For sacrifice. Hard work, and the music this produces.
Thank you for the Avett Brothers
Idk how they are not so famous! They are so amazing. I used to listen to this all the time. Somehow in the past 8 years it found me :)
I love how its not the same as the album version. This is what makes a good band
It has a way of making your eyes water...beautiful. -HLG
The pauses are divine.
My new favorite musical artists! Love!
I love all these guys, the bros, Bob, Joe, all of them. they're just fuckin awesome.
3 words that became hard to say
"I" and "love" and "you" ...

I really like this song with the drums. It puts really nice emphasis on the chorus. But this is just fine as well.
so proud to be from where you are! You're going to do great things!
