When I was in college I really got into the Avett Brothers. This was always my favorite song of theirs. I had periods of anxiety and depression where I felt really alone in college. Would drive around at night by myself hoping for the day I could be in love or have someone in my passenger seat. Years later I started dating my girlfriend. After 6 months I listened to this song again and it all clicked, as I had not put two and two together, without even knowing I asked her to be my girlfriend on February 7th. Makes this song even better, and what I have now meant to be. We have been together for 3 years.
It's one of my favorites of theirs... it's the cello and the bass that get me.... I can't get enough of them, plus just an absolutely killer melody line and then with the harmony vocals... it's just a brilliant song.
My mom died last year feb 7th after I heard the news I bought a 6 pack and went home and put my head phones in and played pandora. This song came on... Lil back story this was my brother's favorite band he committed suicide in 2018 and no hard feelings was the song we played at his funeral. When this song came on the day my mom passed. I balled cause to me it was my brother saying he was there waiting for her and her telling me she was okay and with my brother. God. You guys are amazing it may be sad the reasons for why I love your music but you guys nailed it with those 2 songs for me and remembering very speacial people.
I leave awhile and then come back. They're always just as good if not better. The organic nature of their creations is almost downright scary. I love these guys.
My li'l brother took his life this 7th day of February. He loved this band and I was just going through some of these songs and remembering him singing them. Then I saw the title of this one, never knew the name of it til now. Thank you for the beautiful music and memories. 💔
I always watch this on this day and I just saw this comment. I lost my little brother to suicide in 2019. I hope the music brings your soul some peace.
I'll never forget. Feb 7, 2020 I was fixin to post this song on my Facebook but I went downstairs to put in a load of laundry first. I fell down the stairs & broke my friggin leg! My husband did laundry for the next 6 wèeks. LoL!! And then there's the song Laundry Room :)
This is the first year in four years I've "missed" acknowledging this date which has no particular significance to me other than this song. Still...I'm disappointed in myself.
Oh my fricking goodness... I was listening to this at school and it was ALL I could do to not start crying during class, it happens every time. Y'all are the BEST.
This song is so amazing. I am in recovery for alcoholism and currently have 16 months sober. This song relates to my struggles with alcohol in so many ways. Thatnk you guys for writing the theme song to the past 15 years of my life.
Still going strong, June 21st will be 6 years alcohol free. My worst day sober is better than my best day drinking. I can say without a doubt, a 12 step program will help with any issues you have in life. Thank you guys for the kind words, support comes from the least expected places!! 💪🤝
+Christopher Henriquez If you haven't already watched it, you should view the video where they are practicing "If It's the Beaches." There are some great exchanges in that one, too ... Great stuff from great guys. I agree, this song is BEYOND beautiful. I was so blessed to hear them perform it live the very first time I saw them in concert ... Namaste
This song and “I and Love and You” were two big favorites of my mother. She passed away on February 12th, and this song and the other I mentioned put a smile on my face knowing that she’s now resting in peace, and is no longer in pain, but is now happy once again.... God bless you mom.... I miss you, but I get to keep those good memories going through songs, and photographs.....
Joe, I hope you have found that it does get easier with the passing of time. It's 4 years for me and I still have moments when I have the urge to call her, and then I remember that I can't and it feels like losing her all over again. Music is the only medicine I know that helps a broken heart.
Peggy Gibbons I love this comment. This song means the world to me - 8 years ago I started changing my whole life on February 7, with great success, only to have my world turned upside down a few months later by a medical diagnosis. Slowly but surely I am making my way back all these years later, and every year on this day I play this song repeatedly to remind myself of my journey.
@@bv202 I'm so sorry about all you've had to go through and I pray you have healing & live a long, happy life. You & I could be besties! I had big plans for changes this Feb 7th and guess what happened on that day? I fell down the steps in my own house & broke my leg! But isn't that just life? They say if you wanna make God laugh, make PLANS! All we are guaranteed is right here & right now.
This song was perfect to include in my wedding because it describes so perfectly how me and my husband were before we met and then how life broke in and brought us to our feet in so many ways! We were rested from our previous lives and ready to begin our new life together as one with our baby boy! Thank you Avett Brothers for provinding the opening track to the rest of my life!!!❤❤❤
Thanks guys..this one hits my heart as my son David. Died on Feb 6 ..this one's reminds me of his funside..and he was going thru some troubled times at home! But due to his passing he was rested and began again with new life with God !! One of my favorites.saw you were coming back to N.C. for concert Sept 8 in Boone..wish you could come to Raleigh!! Both sons loved your music.. Jack Bennett is my other son..he turned me on to your music..love you all..bless you.come home..nana
I went on the search for something true I was almost there when I found you Sooner than my fate was wrote A perfect blade, it slit my throat And beads of lust released into the air When I awoke you were standing there I was on the mend when I fell through The sky around was anything but blue I found as I regained my feet, a wound across my memory That no amount of stitches would repair But I awoke and you were standing there There's no fortune at the end of the road That has no end There's no returning to the spoils Once you've spoiled the thought of them There's no falling back asleep Once you've wakened from the dream Now I'm rested and I'm ready and I'm ready to begin I went on the search for something real Traded what I know for how I feel But the ceiling and the walls collapsed Upon the darkness I was trapped And as the last of breath was drawn from me Light broke in and brought me to my feet There's no fortune at the end of the road That has no end There's no returning to the spoils Once you've spoiled the thought of them There's no falling back asleep Once you've wakened from the dream Now I'm rested and I'm ready and I'm ready to begin I'm rested and I'm ready to begin
I love how this video kind of makes them look scruffy and sort of rough...but then the song is gentle and sweet. I love them so much because they're not ONE genre. They're rock, country, roots rock, bluegrass-y, gospel...they cover all bases and all genres, can find a way to touch every heart. If people listen, they will find something they like, guaranteed.
I played this for my half brother and step brother who are 20 and 22 years younger than I. It was my response to a discussion about meaningful music, and I, a GenX music snob who knows everything, am hearing these youngsters talk about matters of taste, or popularity. Then I said, let's make it real. They threw up a couple of decent examples, and I threw up this. They listened in silence to the end and took a minute after to 'return'. One said, 'Damn, I don't have to say that we all felt that.' and the other said 'That was powerful. Real powerful.' This song tells a personal story for me, but it is a masterpiece of the craft.
So proud of these young men. They have never forgot where they came from and are a very special group of good ole God fearing Carolina guys. Thanks for who and what you stand for.
My mother reccomended this song to me. Only being 12, I've had a hard life. This song touched me. But that was only when I began Listening! This song truly touched me! So thank you, Avett Brothers!
A good friend introduced me to this band with this song, and every time I hear it, I think of her. I love her for that introduction, and miss her every day.
Love this song. The Avett Brothers bring a new level to music. Living in the hood and hearing constant booming rap is a drag. Their music soothes my soul.
AB consistently produce some of the finest examples of the "Americana" genre and IMO, Scott and Seth are 2 of our best writer-singer-musician talents in any genre.
BigRedSpear I hope you know my reply was from what I have heard from Tyler Childers. He says people call what he does Americana. However, he believes that he is a country musician not the label of Americana. My reply I hope you didn’t take as rude. I hope you are having a wonderful day 🤗
The Avett Brothers really is a great band.One of my favorites.I am glad that I found them on TH-cam.Very good songs, and really great sound.Greetings From Hungary.
From N.C. and huge James Taylor fan since I listened to his greatest hits cassette every night in my Sony Walkman in US Navy barracks awaiting training in 1980s before I was deployed to the Persian Gulf and later disabled in Operation Desert Storm. These guys are every bit as talented and captivating and have a similarly unique (love a good oxymoron) folksy sound. Really enjoying this more produced song for them which is quite Beatlesesque compared with anything else they’ve published on TH-cam...JT was discovered by Beatles manager Peter Asher and signed to Apple records, maybe it’s a nod to fellow N Carolinian and his former Beatles association? Huge Avett Bros fan since I first saw Seth channeling Longhorne Slim ad libbing “Lord” in 2008. Most young artists on TH-cam (I realize they’ve been around over ten years now) have a couple good songs and rest are unmotivating. No one can say that about these guys, everything they do is amazing, from their haunting (yes, I said it) lyrics, to their vocal harmonies, to their different/off setting octave guitar and banjo harmonies, to their vocal switching. Would love to see them live and can’t wait to see where their talent leads!!
New fan of Avett Brothers! Love their music and harmony! Today is December 31, 2020! Goodbye and good riddance to 2020! Hello 2021. May the new year bring more Avett Brothers music!
This one Really Hit Me HARD, the First Time I Listened To It. I had suffered the loss of my Father, Two of my Very Best Friends, and A Very Dear Aunt. All within what seemed a Horribly Short Span Of Time. I Truly was Very Deep, in a Very Thick Fog. Then, I Re-Connected with the Wonderful Woman, who would soon become The Love Of My Life. I Literally Awoke, And SHE WAS THERE!! I LOVE YOU, ELIZABETH!!!
Wow if I could sum up my life (so far) this song would be it! I'm on the other side of 50 just hearing it for the first time The Light DID break in before it was too late and now I begin again every day and it's wonderful I absolutely luv luv this song!
Love them! True music! Like organic fruit and veggies can heal your body...their music can heal your soul. Eat a bowl of fresh from the garden strawberries and listen to them. You'll feel better, hopeful, grateful that they live the same time we do.
Came out of an emotionally\mentally abusive relationship and met a wonderful woman while I was still trying to recover and break the trauma bond. She hung in there, counseled me, kept me at a safe distance and played this song for me when she felt I was healthy again. She said it was me. God is good and wants the best for us.
Just saw this on Zuus Country, wow what a pretty song, and i like all kinds of music. Makes me wanna give them a hug. Keep writing songs like this. Its kinda sad sounding, but beautiful too..
I heard a tiny excerpt of this song on the second last episode of Hart of Dixie and I was amazed at how good they sounded, so when I heard the whole song here and realized that not only do they have a bass fiddle but also a cello, I'm sold. They have a really good sound!
I love this song and this band. I saw them open for Steve Earle at The Orange Peel, in Asheville north Kackalackie! Love y’all and kackalackie is spelt right, lol
My birthday is February 7, and this song is legitimately the story of my life, like you know when a song reaches in your chest and grabs a hold of your heart. That's what I'm feeling right now.
I first heard of the Avett Brothers two or three weeks ago and they are now my favorite band. I play mainly guitar, banjo, and mandolin, and as a freshman in high school your band has given me so much inspiration in my own music. I don’t know if you read your comments, but I just want to thank you for playing real music even though the world doesn’t seem to appreciate it. You guys are awesome. -Taylor Johnson

It's a great song, solipsistic ties or not.
That’s my birthday lol
Badass true story! I'll quote Todd Snider and say " I never met a story I didn't like " thank you!
This band is criminally underrated and underrepresented on radio!
+wwaldo2525 That's OK, we can still afford tickets to their shows. Don't let everyone know how great they are.
@@kathyallen8939 Yeah, exactly. We wouldn't want them over played ahha
and yet adored deeply by those in the know - as it should be ;)
These guys are incredible! In a different time and a different world they would be the beatles.

Here on February Seven 2024. Happy Avett Brothers day! :)
This is one of the best songs of all time. I never get tired of it.
Have been lucky enough to have seen them live three times now, and they are just as great live as on media!!!
This might be the most beatiful song ever written.
Beautiful

This is the first year in four years I've "missed" acknowledging this date which has no particular significance to me other than this song. Still...I'm disappointed in myself.
Pickle _ Gamezz mine too
Doing fine on june 15. I'm rested and ready
I stopped listening to them for a while then this song came on the radio and I cried cause I forgot how much I love this band 😭
Found a George Stan lol
Oh my fricking goodness...
I was listening to this at school and it was ALL I could do to not start crying during class, it happens every time. Y'all are the BEST.
I think the hardest thing about being an Avett Brothers fan is deciding on which of their songs is my favorite. Amazing musicians, incomparable poets.
Who's here in 2020 prescribing to a little Avett to get through this pandemic?
I know I am!
Oh yes I’m here
Yep!
🤚
2021 for this guy. This band is timeless.
This song is so amazing. I am in recovery for alcoholism and currently have 16 months sober. This song relates to my struggles with alcohol in so many ways. Thatnk you guys for writing the theme song to the past 15 years of my life.
Hope you are still doing well
@@Michael_McMaster Me too..!
Good for you. Stay strong, God bless.
I've been looking into that, recently. Not AA but the other one, _Alcoholics Conspicuous_ . They've got this proven 12-stumble system.
Still going strong, June 21st will be 6 years alcohol free. My worst day sober is better than my best day drinking. I can say without a doubt, a 12 step program will help with any issues you have in life. Thank you guys for the kind words, support comes from the least expected places!! 💪🤝

Joe Reich this is the first time I’ve heard them tonite. I’ve listened to seven songs. Hmmmmm me humming. God bless you brother
I like to think our souls float around in the music we love after we’ve gone. ❤️

The Avett Bros are down home music. Soul candy and what this world needs.
February 7 is coming up. I think it's time to make some BIG changes. I'm exhausted and I'm ready. Thank you Avett Brothers!

I've never seen a band so sincere and genuine. This whole album is great, and the joy in this video is palpable. Thank you, Avetts!
This band…..has my heart. Their music riles up wonderful emotions like no other music.
The Avett Brothers help me through hard times an help me appreciate the good times :)
LOVE this band and their creative journey as humans and storytellers.

As he loved all kinds of music..I miss him so much. Never thought my heart would be torn out..he was 41..my oldest
I'm so sorry for your loss. Hope this beautiful music helps.
I went on the search for something true
I was almost there when I found you
Sooner than my fate was wrote
A perfect blade, it slit my throat
And beads of lust released into the air
When I awoke you were standing there
I was on the mend when I fell through
The sky around was anything but blue
I found as I regained my feet, a wound across my memory
That no amount of stitches would repair
But I awoke and you were standing there
There's no fortune at the end of the road
That has no end
There's no returning to the spoils
Once you've spoiled the thought of them
There's no falling back asleep
Once you've wakened from the dream
Now I'm rested and I'm ready and I'm ready to begin
I went on the search for something real
Traded what I know for how I feel
But the ceiling and the walls collapsed
Upon the darkness I was trapped
And as the last of breath was drawn from me
Light broke in and brought me to my feet
There's no fortune at the end of the road
That has no end
There's no returning to the spoils
Once you've spoiled the thought of them
There's no falling back asleep
Once you've wakened from the dream
Now I'm rested and I'm ready and I'm ready to begin
I'm rested and I'm ready to begin
Love and thanks for the lyrics :)
I love how this video kind of makes them look scruffy and sort of rough...but then the song is gentle and sweet.
I love them so much because they're not ONE genre. They're rock, country, roots rock, bluegrass-y, gospel...they cover all bases and all genres, can find a way to touch every heart.

The feeling of being is brought back by good music. Feeling like I skipped some part of my life and this music takes me back there. I wanna be there.
Love this song. The Avett Brothers bring a new level to music. Living in the hood and hearing constant booming rap is a drag. Their music soothes my soul.
How cool this is!! My B-Day is 2/7/79... These gentlemen are one of a kind!!! Just like us... Happy 7th birthday Miss Bailey Ann
This is literally one of the best songs I've ever heard. Idk why
how perfect that i really started paying attention to the words of this song TODAY of all days.
My birthday is Feb.7, so this song has very special meaning. I love it!
Happy Birthday!!!! 🎂🎈🕯️
My birthday is February 7th and I now call this song my birthday song and it truly is a fantastic song.
With all the great music in this world, it doesn't get any better than the songs these guys write.
Such a flawless song; can't get over how pure and amazing it is. My favorite Avett song by far :-)
Do you play? 🎸most time simple ie better.
As a native of Winston Salem, it's so nice to have a local band from the Old North State be such a big hit around the country.
AMEN!!
Amen to that, my dad’s favorite, when I was 8 I remember him playing there cd on our way to church

Never heard of them till chef and a farmer mentioned them on tv. So glad I looked them up. Thanks!
Happy February 7! This is today's jam!
Saw them last night in Grand Rapids, MI...what a show. Just incredible musicians
It's February 7 today! This song was released 7 years ago! 🎉

Wow if I could sum up my life (so far) this song would be it! I'm on the other side of 50 just hearing it for the first time The Light DID break in before it was too late and now I begin again every day and it's wonderful
I absolutely luv luv this song!
Love them! True music! Like organic fruit and veggies can heal your body...their music can heal your soul. Eat a bowl of fresh from the garden strawberries and listen to them. You'll feel better, hopeful, grateful that they live the same time we do.
Came out of an emotionally\mentally abusive relationship and met a wonderful woman while I was still trying to recover and break the trauma bond. She hung in there, counseled me, kept me at a safe distance and played this song for me when she felt I was healthy again. She said it was me.
God is good and wants the best for us.
Living in Arizona, originally from Eastern NC, I listen to them and get taken back to the open fields, farmland and winding roads of my home.
Saw y’all in Athens, OH in 2008ish. Thank you for keeping being relevant
Just saw this on Zuus Country, wow what a pretty song, and i like all kinds of music. Makes me wanna give them a hug. Keep writing songs like this. Its kinda sad sounding, but beautiful too..
I heard a tiny excerpt of this song on the second last episode of Hart of Dixie and I was amazed at how good they sounded, so when I heard the whole song here and realized that not only do they have a bass fiddle but also a cello, I'm sold. They have a really good sound!
I love this song and this band. I saw them open for Steve Earle at The Orange Peel, in Asheville north Kackalackie! Love y’all and kackalackie is spelt right, lol
I forgot how much I actually love this record. I reallly love everything before this one but this one has slipped my memory somehow
These guys are absolutely amazing!
Thank you all so much for this video... these choices you've made. I am humbled yet again!
My birthday is February 7, and this song is legitimately the story of my life, like you know when a song reaches in your chest and grabs a hold of your heart. That's what I'm feeling right now.
My incredibly amazing grandma died on Feb 7th of 2004 and one of my best friends died about 12 hours before. This hits my heart.
Thumbs up for using the preposition "up". Best part of the country, hands down.
My favorite band. I love you all from the bottom of my heart.
Always loved this song but never watched the music video before. The vibe is extremely 2010s!
My birth day is on feb 7!! You're my favorite band!!!! From mty mexico :))
FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC my BROTHERS . You're a SIGHT AND SOUND for sore eyes.
This is one of my new all time favorite bands. Great lyrics and sound.
Todays February 7th, 2024. Great song! :)
These guys are so talented!
This is the prettiest song I've ever heard
Just saw these guys in concert, it was so awesome
Does anybody else feel that alcohol/addiction and dark places have a huge part in a lot of their songs?
No.
Thank you for doing what you do! Your music has changed my life.
I first heard of the Avett Brothers two or three weeks ago and they are now my favorite band. I play mainly guitar, banjo, and mandolin, and as a freshman in high school your band has given me so much inspiration in my own music. I don’t know if you read your comments, but I just want to thank you for playing real music even though the world doesn’t seem to appreciate it. You guys are awesome.
