Dad…I miss you more then any words could convey. It’s been a year now…I walk these floors, your pictures still hang on the walls…the home still has that familiar smell…my Dad. I love you pops. In peace, your son…Jeffrey Herberg.
Amen brother im 16 found them at your age :) My friends are listening too rap and garbage and their like what do you listen to and im like you wouldnt understand m8 lol
"it's alright if you finally stop caring, just don't go and tell someone that does, because even though there's hope in every morning song, I have to find that melody alone." Quite simple, yet profound!!! 10/10
Only brilliant songwriters / poets that have lived life, with all of its ups and downs could write something this special. I am particularly moved by the imagery of this song. The use of the word "lets" in "lets me free" shows the union of a body and a soul that is deep to a level that impresses me. Most would say "sets me free" because they believe the soul is being held back, but the Avett Brothers understand the union of the two, and the fact that it is that union that makes us so special as humans. Having been to their concerts, it is almost impossible to leave the crowd and not feel better about humanity and love in general. Their spirit, their songs, their words, their actions, and their music spread love and joy to a level that is indescribable unless you see it for yourself.
"It's alright if you finally stop caring, just don't go and tell someone that does. Even though I know there's hope in everything morning song, I have to find that melody alone."Very beautiful composition!
I haven't been impressed with a band as I am with the Avett Brothers since the glory years of rock growing up in San Francisco during the 60's and 70's...so glad to see young people who appreciate talented musicians who write such original pieces and perform them flawlessly...they are indeed special.
If you love the Avett Brothers, this video is it; a true representation of what it means to love music and have that love be spread to the people that support you, your fans. They play with heart and its truly beautiful to see that, this song is the epitomy of it all, just missing Bobby Crawford.
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.
Jake Tomberlin Thank you, I feel it's the truth...I saw these guys in concert and there is such a truth and raw emotion in their performances...I don't know who could listen to them and not feel something. :-)
One of the things I adore about this video is it is not the cut from the record. Love both versions. Love these guys. And if Seth doesn't have the voice of an angel.... (not that Scott doesn't either, but Seth harmonies will get me each and every time.)
I was channel surfing 1 night & happen to run across their documentary on HBO & instantly fell in love with these guys & their beautiful voices & music. I was raised in a musical instrumental family, unfortunately I can't sing or play anything but, that doesn't keep me from listening & enjoying any & all kinds of music. I will be watching for these fellas to come to my area so that I can check them out. They are absolutely fabulous. 🎼😍🎵👏🏼🎶😘👏🏼👏🏼🎼❤
My wife has early onset alzheimers...and it hurts SO bad, but even though I know there is hope in every morning song I have to find that melody alone...
+Deborah Hare i recommend looking into dr Robert Morse ND about alzheimers and other degenerative diseases. Its simple if you do understand. There has a good day to come again...
Dear Deborah, my mothers mother, my grandmother of course, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's by the time I was the age of three. She struggled with the disease for ten grueling years where my mother was her main care. She passed the summer of 2015. Though I have few memories of her while she was of a healthy mind, I do remember reaching through the disease with music. My brother and I would play for her on some of her worst days and, in spite of her disease, she would perk up and every now and again, a subtle smile would creep across her face. I commend you for taking care of your mother even while she is suffering. I understand what a toll it can take on a person as it took one on my mother as well as the entirety of my family. I wish you and your family the best. And I hope your struggles number few in the future. Sincerely, Jack
+Jack Mansfield That's incredible! I remember when I was 5 and my grandmother was diagnosed with heart disease. She died 2 years later from a heart attack. I was so devastated at first. I couldn't comprehend all that which had just happened. I'm sure that you can relate to this feeling of emptiness. The pain really calms down though with such peaceful music. It's nice to see that I am not alone. Even though these may trouble, hurt, and sadden us, we have to realize that life is a great thing, and focusing on the dark shouldn't be the only thing we remember.
As the mind develops more plaque ( the term for what happens to the brain ... like your teeth it is rotting and the useful brain turns to unusable) the brain can rewire itself somewhat as I saw with my father who had a brain tumor and stroke from the tumor. My Mother unfortunately has Alzheimer with a touch of Dementia. There are probably hundreds of classifications of Alzheimer. At the moment she has recognized me every time I visit. She has mistaken my brother for our father and many times asked me what I was talking to my father about in the other room. He has been dead for 8 years and I was in the bathroom reliving myself and no one else was in the house. Alzheimer removes memories randomly. THe only thing you can do is cherish the time you have left. IF YOUR ARE A CARE GIVER. Get help more than half the time the Alzheimer person will outlive the caregiver. Putting a peson in a Nursing home(that specializes or has nures trained for Alziemers patients is needed) YOu have take a break and get some sleep and recoup. Having to worry they will walk out into the night or day undressed or half dressed (as in my mothers case). If they smoke their is an extreme danger for fire. I had my young daughter quit her job and go help my brother during the week between school. Sometimes he just takes a nap and goes no where because he has been up with her till 3am. I go over for the day on the weekend so he can leave and visit his girlfriend. GET help ... other family member need to share the burden or it will effect your health. My Mother once angrily went outside and rang the door bell demanding to be taken home with no clothes on the bottom just her adult diapers. My brother called upset I told him to take her in the car and drive her around and make a big deal about coming home. It worked. He even went to the interstate where we would always drive home from trips to our exit. On the way home was the place she worked for 20 years so he pointed that out. She got out and thanked him for taking her home. Also you will find them collecting stuff in bags. IT is item they remember that are theirs. Think of it as Linus's blanket from Charlie Brown. Comfort bag. Take it with you when you drive them to Doc appts etc. Make a big deal about getting the bag. IT triggers other thoughts if they are confused or upset. They can concentrate on the items in the bag they remember. I can only imagine how upsetting to constantly not be aware of things. LOVE is most important. I remember the days my Mother took care of me as a child and now I help take care of her with the same Love. I lost a sister to Suicide 20 years ago and my wife I took care of with my 2-4 year old until my wife passed away from cancer. I have had my share or grief and love. AS your wife slowly leaves remember the good days and hold onto them. Years later when you remember something and break down and cry .. that is a good thing grief . It reminds us of how much we miss someone and love them. MAY YOUR GRIEF BE STRONG! as mine is for my wife I lost 16 years ago. And now I'm slowly loosing my mother. Music is a comfort to those living .. it is a blessing at times.
I cant stop listening/watching this video. Sooooooo beautiful. Their voices, their harmonies and the simplicity of the two acoustic instruments doing similar interweaving melodies is sooooo damn pure and gorgeous. I love it.... totally addicted to their music.
The purity and clarity in your music makes me shut out the world and dream there. Been a long time since I’ve heard something so good that takes me back into the basics of my own music in its simplicity. Less is more is not just less it’s perfection in its own
You all…are…so much. In everything you make, and give us. And I am grateful to have you all in my life. If I could give you what you have given me…I would.
Here I am again. Or have I been here all the while? What when the shoe is on the other foot? When you stop caring…for someone who only loves you when you’ve stopped caring? Thank you for all your music. And all it brings.
I saw these guys and Nickel Creek on Austin City Limits and I must say that it was probably the best hour of television I've watched in recent memory. Fabulous
C Williams I too love that particular ACL show. I've had it saved on the DVR for a few years now and I turn it on at least once a month. Even if just for background music while getting ready for the day; AND for any visitors and friends that have yet to be introduced to them. The lyrical honesty, and gift of their natural harmonies highlight the heart put into each song they share with the world. They are tapped in on a level many folks can relate to. When you're feeling joyful, they'll put a pep in your step; in times of heartbreak and despair, I find the hope and comfort they bring lifts me up to a place of peace and harmony from deep inside. Thanks for the musical inspiration for today's playlist(:
This rendition of Morning Song has got to be one of the single most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life. Watching them sing is one of the most greatest pleasures in this world.
Y'all have become my favorite band. I saw you in Huntsville in 05, when my ex was pregnant with my son. Then, the storm really hit. I'm glad y'all haven't sunk as low as me through our lives, cause I needed you guys, but I do feel like we got old together. I wish I could've played like y'all. I wish my songs made me cry now, but I'm too tired to sing anymore. Anyway, The Avett Brothers are the most important band to me. Thank you so much! Sincerely, friggin SINCERELY! You've helped me feel less alone here.
Songs like this hit you just a little bit harder after a long hard weekend. What goes up must come down. Still, we gotta try to keep our light shining. Shine on my friends!
Echo mountain studio Asheville NC. I recorded there with my band. Danny kadar was the engineer. He aslo worked with the avett bros on emotionalism. 👍 that makes me happy. ☺
thank you guys. I just got out of the loony bin after an almost successful attempt to take my life.you guys helped me express myself while I was in there.
"You have to find that melody alone" is one of the great lyrics of all time. So true literally and metaphorically. Makes you wonder who wrote this melody... guessing Scott. This may be their masterpiece although it has some competition..Laundry Room, November Blue, February 7, it's kind of a long list.
I have often thought that if I were a high school English teacher, I would introduce their lyrics alongside the long-standing masters in poetry. Their words are deep and rich and if you scratch the surface, there is so much more to find beneath. Since I first heard them, it was their words that hooked me. The music, undoubtedly, is appealing and pleasant ... and I have an appreciation for music -- in fact, it has always been a passion for me. But words are the meat. That is where substance can be found. And find it I do and have with The Avett Brothers words of wisdom. And more than that, they straddle the finest line of all ... theirs is more than music, more than words -- this is a true ministry and all those who have caught it get that. When the words and the music and the men behind it all line up ... that is undeniable integrity and they are gold in a world filled with pyrite. Even that observation is one that leads to others, though, isn't it ? This goes so much deeper and truer than many might think. Scott and Seth are both minstrels, bards, lay ministers, Renaissance men ... You are so right on. It is definitely a long list and it is worth examining closely. And it is like they stole so many pages out of the book of my heart and wrote it all down better than I ever could ! (Sanguine is especially this way for me, too. And add to your list Salvation Song ? LOL ... the list goes on and on and on, doesn't it ? Like a string of pearls, each is precious and unique. I find gems in all of the songs I hear by them ... ) I have said since I first heard them that ... "... theirs is a common-man ministry and when they open their mouths, heaven falls out ..." Namaste, Adam ! Avett On, Say Love, And It Spread, all that ! :)
Thank you for making the hard things beautiful.when im over this, i will look back and remember the sweet fellowship i am finding with this song as some of my richest memories
I heard this song on Bailey & Southside Rock 100.5, and was immediately drawn to it. The song lyrics and tempo are unique. It sounds as if it is two songs merged together. I do not really understand the message, but something about it keeps me playing it. Thanks Glorious Sons for a really great song.
My husband and I are separating and at one point this music was ours till he decided to choose others over us and when I hear this song it just kills me
I love this. I can't help but hear the early 60's Bee Gees' influence (don't think Disco) in this song and the harmony that your voices create as sibs. Thank you!
F%*K!!!!! These guys are soooooooo good...I could just cry....I saw them live and i did cry...They are so talented and incredibly underrated.....Let's all keep this great secret to ourselves!!!
You have to find that melody alone. Insightful phrase about our inner being. Accepting the ENTIRE human experience and adventure as the soul growth it is.
So much of the music of today you can’t even understand the lyrics. The Avett Brothers bring such poetry, soul searching music forth with harmonies and love and truth!
Man, haven't we all had those people in our lives. You just need something to keep ya sane, but when it proves false.. You know it was never their job to begin with.
I saw them in KC and then next I'll be seeing them again in February. These guys....the are amazing. That concert is now up there as one my favorite concerts I have been to. Top 5 at least.
Hurt so bad You don't come around here anymore Worse than that Nothing's really helping I've been thinking 'bout drinking again It's alright If you finally stop caring Just don't go and tell someone that does Cause even though I know there's hope in Every morning song I have to find that melody alone Her name became The flame unto the fire A magpie on the wire warned of those Dead until the high Shamelessly alive until the low It's alright If you finally stop caring Just don't go and tell someone that does Cause even though I know there's hope in Every morning song I have to find that melody alone But we can go ahead If no one notices What's the point of it? I have to ask How you learn to see The hope eternally When you're soon to leave Oh, leave at last Hurt so bad More than I expected that it would Worse than that It seems to be lasting just a little Longer than it should It's alright If you finally stop caring Just don't go and tell someone that does Cause even though I know there's hope in Every morning song I have to find that melody alone I have to find that melody alone I have to find that melody alone I have to find that melody alone
My son is a new fan and is so impressed that I had to check out the Avett brothers myself! I have to say that my son has great taste in music! I am also very impressed!
I really love nature, natural people that not trying to be somebody else. That people have their own style! You know what iam talking about when you see theese guys
My best friend told me about the Avett brothers and I fell in love with them immediately ... Usually people our age don't listen to music like this ... We are 13...
Dad…I miss you more then any words could convey. It’s been a year now…I walk these floors, your pictures still hang on the walls…the home still has that familiar smell…my Dad. I love you pops. In peace, your son…Jeffrey Herberg.
I'm twelve and i can honestly say that everything on the radio in my generation is garbage
_Noah _ smart kid
Amen brother im 16 found them at your age :)
My friends are listening too rap and garbage and their like what do you listen to and im like you wouldnt understand m8 lol
you were born in the wrong generation kid!
Reading this in 2024. I'm curious to hear how your musical tastes have changed now that you're an adult.
My parents have been playing Avett for my entire life, I only really started listening to the recently, and they are my favorite band
You Beautiful People tell all the truth of life in your music. I cry, I laugh, I rejoice and I thank you!!!
"it's alright if you finally stop caring, just don't go and tell someone that does, because even though there's hope in every morning song, I have to find that melody alone." Quite simple, yet profound!!! 10/10
This song helps me out with some loss I've experienced. 💔😥. It's great music therapy these days.
Only brilliant songwriters / poets that have lived life, with all of its ups and downs could write something this special. I am particularly moved by the imagery of this song. The use of the word "lets" in "lets me free" shows the union of a body and a soul that is deep to a level that impresses me.

I agree!
I agree 100%. Every show is such a true and good experience, and I always leave with new friends and more love in my heart.
"It's alright if you finally stop caring, just don't go and tell someone that does. Even though I know there's hope in everything morning song, I have to find that melody alone."Very beautiful composition!
"...I have to find that melody alone..." sung in perfect harmony. Oh the irony!!!!
I haven't been impressed with a band as I am with the Avett Brothers since the glory years of rock growing up in San Francisco during the 60's and 70's...so glad to see young people who appreciate talented musicians who write such original pieces and perform them flawlessly...they are indeed special.
Gosh... such beautiful poetry. Sometimes I just want to quit caring. But the Avetts bring me back to family!!
If you love the Avett Brothers, this video is it; a true representation of what it means to love music and have that love be spread to the people that support you, your fans. They play with heart and its truly beautiful to see that, this song is the epitomy of it all, just missing Bobby Crawford.
Love them. My favorites. Pure, heartfelt, honest. So beautiful. In a world of fluff and noise...a peaceful beautiful place. May they always sing on.
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.
so true!
so true!
Very well said.
Jake Tomberlin
Thank you, I feel it's the truth...I saw these guys in concert and there is such a truth and raw emotion in their performances...I don't know who could listen to them and not feel something. :-)
Love them !! I'm ready for my 3rd TAB show next month.....getting excited.
"It's alright if you finally stop caring, just don't go and tell someone that does". 😍😍
I read your comment exactly when it was being sung.
This song helped me thru some dark times. Looking back, I now realize how dark.
There is hope for humanity. And music. Hand in hand.
Just dipping my toes into the world of folk and blues and I love these guys already..
Did ya fall in? Hope ya did, and you turned over and floated.
Couldn’t have picked a better pond
I’m 9 I already have fallen in to pond of emotions
❤
One of the things I adore about this video is it is not the cut from the record. Love both versions. Love these guys. And if Seth doesn't have the voice of an angel.... (not that Scott doesn't either, but Seth harmonies will get me each and every time.)
I was channel surfing 1 night & happen to run across their documentary on HBO & instantly fell in love with these guys & their beautiful voices & music. I was raised in a musical instrumental family, unfortunately I can't sing or play anything but, that doesn't keep me from listening & enjoying any & all kinds of music. I will be watching for these fellas to come to my area so that I can check them out. They are absolutely fabulous. 🎼😍🎵👏🏼🎶😘👏🏼👏🏼🎼❤
Honest lyrics smartly written by the minds of empathy and experience! Nothing short of pure beauty and hard lessons learned

Music with real feeling. Honest, uncomplicated and beautifully composed.
Beautifully expressed
Thank You for perfectly defining The Avett Brothers!!!
Steve T Yes. I'm always on the search for that.
It truly is! And I too am always on the search for that. Any other suggestions for me??
This rendition of Morning Song has got to be one of the single most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life. Watching them sing is one of the most greatest pleasures in this world.

Thank you for this beautiful song. I sang along and felt a profound physical healing
You can hate on the music and the lyrics if you want. You cannot deny the true talent these guys have. Its really incredible.
What a lovely song. It is so damn good. It's like "Hey there, you wanna cry?" "OK"
Its that good.
Songs like this hit you just a little bit harder after a long hard weekend. What goes up must come down. Still, we gotta try to keep our light shining. Shine on my friends!
Hurt so bad
More than I expected that it would... (2021)
My heart is touched after so long.... thank you for this beautiful song
784 people missed the thumbs up through tear filled eyes.
Works as a night song too. Just a great fall back. Thanks lads
I love at the end when they're in harmony for "I have to sing... the melody..." and then they split on "alone."
Magnificent storytelling and poetry delivered with simplicity and emotion...Could listen all day
Echo mountain studio Asheville NC. I recorded there with my band. Danny kadar was the engineer. He aslo worked with the avett bros on emotionalism. 👍 that makes me happy. ☺
This song reaches way down into my soul!
So beautifully true to life!...
The boys never cease to amaze me with their talents!!!...
thank you guys. I just got out of the loony bin after an almost successful attempt to take my life.you guys helped me express myself while I was in there.
JR__CSGOD they have helped save a few of our lives!
The Ancient Butcher Of Dreams. I agree they are raw and honest I feel they relate to us with issues
Bob The Ancient. Going through Shingles 7th week now now post----- really awful
Can relate
Bob The Ancient I hope now--1 year later--you have found something or someone to make you love life!

So profoundly wrote , Just beautiful.
Simple yet brilliant lyrical talent, Scott and Seth you are a breath of fresh air, seems that today this type of (true) artist is a dying breed
When two voices that fit together so, so well sing such beautifully composed music, you get this. Masters of the beautifully simple and graceful tune.
💗 New year's concert bringing in 2016 and 2017...most amazing nights of my life
There aren't enough words. I adore them and this song is so gorgeous and sad.
Thank you for making the hard things beautiful.when im over this, i will look back and remember the sweet fellowship i am finding with this song as some of my richest memories
Great job yah beautiful brothers!
Speaks volumes. So proud of you.
All my love and light!
Oh wow , the most realist uncut raw singers ever , voices only comming from GOD ! Xtrodinary !! Amen !!
This song will be played in a 1,000 years........mark my words - Love it Guys!!
I'm 13 and I love their music
I heard this song on Bailey & Southside Rock 100.5, and was immediately drawn to it. The song lyrics and tempo are unique. It sounds as if it is two songs merged together. I do not really understand the message, but something about it keeps me playing it. Thanks Glorious Sons for a really great song.
THIS is the Avett Brothers music that I love !
So beautiful! I cried listening to this.
So pleased I found this wonderful band and song. A new fan and looks like 2 million viewers were ahead of me in this game. Thanks guys :-)
yep, me, too
12K is twelve thousand . . you are not as far behind as you thought!!
I am new and feel like I'm in heaven.
My husband and I are separating and at one point this music was ours till he decided to choose others over us and when I hear this song it just kills me
Hello Sarah 👋 how are you doing today??
I found this song on snapchat today morning, and the whole day this band has been on my spotify.
Ammmaaazinggggggg.
they’re criminally underrated!
I love this. I can't help but hear the early 60's Bee Gees' influence (don't think Disco) in this song and the harmony that your voices create as sibs. Thank you!
CSNY
going through a rough time. Their songs are what I need at the right moment.
Every time I think I can't love Scot and Seth more, I do. xo Thanks guys! We love you in
Austin, TX
Find that melody alone. That's what happens when you are alone & stop caring. You find that "Sweeet" Melody. Peace Out! It's all right. ; )'
Thank you, Avett Brother, for sharing your music with us. Grateful doesn't begin to describe the way I feel about it. Keep playing, for all our sake.
F%*K!!!!! These guys are soooooooo good...I could just cry....I saw them live and i did cry...They are so talented and incredibly underrated.....Let's all keep this great secret to ourselves!!!
You have to find that melody alone. Insightful phrase about our inner being. Accepting the ENTIRE human experience and adventure as the soul growth it is.
So much of the music of today you can’t even understand the lyrics. The Avett Brothers bring such poetry, soul searching music forth with harmonies and love and truth!
Saw them for the second time on Cinco De Mayo in Tuscaloosa. Already planning the third trip. The feelings at their shows are amazing.
I was at that show. Of the half dozen or so times i've seen them, that was one of my favorite shows.
+samohtecirp yeah it was superb
Autigerfan2k8 I was there too. I cried!
+Katelyn S nothing like an avett show
Performed right here in my beautiful town of Asheville, NC. Thank you boys, for bringing me my favorite music. Please come back to Asheville soon.
The Avett Brothers in ultra high quaility o.o *droooooools*
Hurt so bad more than I expected that it would . .
🎶🎶have to find that melody alone🎶🎶
I can smell Asheville when I listen to this song and watch the video. So friggin good. Keep it up guys.
Smells like patchouli?
harmonies like butter
I only have loved old hymns. Til now. I told three loved ones bout choo already. Think this will bind us with cords of love tighter. Thanks men.
So very happy i found these kids..listen over and over..such beautiful talent
I love this song ❤❤❤
such a beautiful song.
First seen the video of Scott's acoustic November blue and was hooked. Simple , real , Beautiful people and music!
beautiful as always
Man, haven't we all had those people in our lives. You just need something to keep ya sane, but when it proves false.. You know it was never their job to begin with.
Your assessment is dead on.
saved my life thank you wish I could meet this band
I saw them in KC and then next I'll be seeing them again in February. These guys....the are amazing. That concert is now up there as one my favorite concerts I have been to. Top 5 at least.
Hurt so bad
You don't come around here anymore
Worse than that
Nothing's really helping I've been thinking
'bout drinking again
It's alright
If you finally stop caring
Just don't go and tell someone that does
Cause even though I know there's hope in
Every morning song
I have to find that melody alone
Her name became
The flame unto the fire
A magpie on the wire warned of those
Dead until the high
Shamelessly alive until the low
It's alright
If you finally stop caring
Just don't go and tell someone that does
Cause even though I know there's hope in
Every morning song
I have to find that melody alone
But we can go ahead
If no one notices
What's the point of it?
I have to ask
How you learn to see
The hope eternally
When you're soon to leave
Oh, leave at last
Hurt so bad
More than I expected that it would
Worse than that
It seems to be lasting just a little
Longer than it should
It's alright
If you finally stop caring
Just don't go and tell someone that does
Cause even though I know there's hope in
Every morning song
I have to find that melody alone
I have to find that melody alone
I have to find that melody alone
I have to find that melody alone
Oh when you're sure to be leaving last is what it sounds like to me
Harmonizing was always a cool aspect of vocals to me but what they have accomplished here is nothing short of perfection.
Sublime perfection.
Love this song...good words
ALL AMERICAN ALL AVENTT! WE REALLY HEAR YOUR MUSIC AND SONGS. THANKS IS NOT ENOUGH! BUT THANK YOU. HAS TO BE SAID!
I can't wait to see The Avett Brothers at Bonnaroo this year!
Beautiful tune and video
I feel sorry for the 158 people who cannot appreciate this beauty.
Same here and now the 673 who have been truly missing the point.
@@Gardradeking Yeah--and the 704.
they're 767 now though
They haven't lived a life worth living, if they can't appreciate the beauty of raw talent, raw pain, etc... you get me
Poor souls
Got to tell me deminted mamma that her husband passed last night.
My spirit waxes heavy. Lord help her to understand.
My son is a new fan and is so impressed that I had to check out the Avett brothers myself! I have to say that my son has great taste in music! I am also very impressed!
I just found out about these guys. They are truly talented and their home town is about 15 minutes from my hometown. Small world!!
I really love nature, natural people that not trying to be somebody else. That people have their own style! You know what iam talking about when you see theese guys
My best friend told me about the Avett brothers and I fell in love with them immediately ... Usually people our age don't listen to music like this ... We are 13...
Good for you! Keep exploring, there is a lot of great music out there....
Im glad im not the only one!!! I recently turned fourteen, but found this when i was thirteen and I still love it!
Welcome to true talent. :)
I'm not the only one.
Same here but it was my dearest father that told me about them I found out about them when I was 12
Man, I love you guys. You've been such an inspiration to me.
Simply beautiful.
