      A friend of mine has 3 sons and a daughter, who all have that lyric,
      tattooed on the inside of their left upper arm in the same script.
      My friend said he's not sure how to feel about it.
      I said, at least it's something nice.

      @darrellsimmons6600 Před 7 lety +2

      Hang in there Bella. Their music does more to help you appreciate feeling things as a human being than almost anything out there. The music makes you realize though that sometimes the pain is worth going through.

    • @ambulanceblues83

      This song affects me too, and for some of the same reasons. My dad is still around, still working his ass off to support us, but I can see the tears and the pain in his heart and there’s nothing I can do for him. Many blessings to you Bella and your father. I’m not sure how much longer mine will be around. 🙏🏻❤️

    Every time I listen to it, my tears don't stop. It's pouring out of my eyes like rain.
    Every time I listen to this song, I think of my mother, brother and father. R.I.P.
    That's why the lyrics of the song hurt me deeply. Thank you. Bless your voice, your heart, You take me away, to my old years... I am grateful.
    Like this words;
    "Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
    Like the love that let us share our name."
    If I get murdered in the city
    Don't go revenging in my name
    One person dead from such is plenty
    No need to go get locked away
    When I leave your arms
    The things that I think of
    No need to get over alarmed
    I'm coming home
    I wonder which brother is better
    Which one our parents love the most
    I sure did get in lots of trouble
    They seemed to let the other go
    A tear fell from my father's eyes
    I wondered what my dad would say
    He said, "I love you and I'm proud of you both
    In so many different ways"
    If I get murdered in the city
    Go read the letter in my desk
    Don't bother with all my belongings
    But pay attention to the list
    Make sure my sister knows I loved her
    Make sure my mother knows the same
    Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
    Like the love that let us share our name
    Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
    Like the love that let us share our name

    This song makes me cry pretty much every time. I thought I could make it through this time around, but I had to pause it at about 0:45. My brother and I have a similar relationship, and our dad would probably say exactly the same thing to us as their dad did to them. It's a beautiful song and makes me thankful.

    I'm here because this afternoon I was rock climbing with a friend who was belaying me and as I started climbing up the wall he said he was gonna try something new and unbeknownst to me used one of his fingers instead of a caribeaner to add friction to the rope in his belay device, which when I fell caused his finger to break and rip in half which made him lose control of me and I fell on this really cute girl at the gym whom after my friend left for the hospital I asked out on a date later tonight, which went really well, and afterward she introduced me to her brother who is a big fan of the Avett Brothers and told me to check a song out on CZcams but I spelled it wrong and ended up here instead.
