They are great people and deserve so much more than most of the bands out there for they have real talent. When I was 9, just a few months after my dad died I got to go backstage and meet them. They asked what my favorite song of theirs was and I said "the song that you say rabbit in." (Live and Die) and they actually changed a song they were going to play at the concert so they could sing "Live and Die" at the concert. After I left backstage to watch the concert, they dedicated the song to me. I will forever remember and I love these guys so much!!
My mom was in the hospital, and she came home for a weekend. I showed her this song, she loved it, and about three weeks later she died on Christmas night. I'm fifteen, and this song makes me sob. It's hard to be in high school and be that "tough guy" who plays sports. I go on Twitter and people complain about their parents. If they only knew...
Several years ago my boyfriend saw The Avett Brothers at Firefly. He innocently came to me and said, "You MUST hear this band." And showed me this video. Me, who adores the banjo, this type of music, and men who look like this. Clearly, he was not thinking ahead. My obsession cannot be stopped. He created a monster.
Hey Girl you feel grief for your boyfriend .. every time you hear the song the pain and the grief makes you feel and remember your lost love .. sooo... May you have strong grief as the tears drop and roll down your cheeks smile knowing you loved your boyfriend dearly and miss him.
My old 4th grade teacher played this every day, we had lyrics and everything... And he played Aint no Man at the end of the day, and during the day he would have a full Pandora playlist with Avett Brothers songs... And now I listen to it everyday 😸😸
I grew up hearing this song in the car, and singing along with my mom when it was just us. It’s been about five years since we’ve done that, but every now and then I remember the lyrics and search them up trying to recall the tune. The minute I found it today, I put it on my playlist so I never forget again. I may be 15 but I honestly think this is one thing that will stick with me somewhere in my memory my whole life. And no I’m definitely not crying hearing it for the first time in a while why would you think that. :,)
funny coincidence! Got turned on by my daughter and son in law. They 30's me young 60. Loved what I Heard and found out they did a whole album of my favorite arist/songwriter John Prine. Been listening to his work since the 70's. Just goes to show that taste is Timeless. Now just have to get ticket to show here in Vegas.....
It's Mother's Day, I'm making pancakes for my boys and blasting Avett Bros, Brandi Carlile, Bob Schneider, Secret Sisters and Joni top volume while I flip the flap jacks. Wish you all impeccable music lovers were here too.
This song reminds me of when my grandad died a couple years back, I was riding in my dad's car back from my grandad's house, the day he died, we went to his house because we wanted to stay with him for the last moments of his life. So, on the way back, in my dad's car, we were listening to "Live and Die", and I actually teared up a little bit. That's how I know this song. In fact, that's how I know the Avett Brothers. The Avett Brothers will forever be my and my dad's favorite band. That's also why this song will always be my first favorite song by the Avett Brothers, no, of all time.
Can't describe it, but nobody could sound more like Cabarrus county than these guys. My daughter had lunch every day with her school librarian, come to find out, she was the wife of their manager. The way they can weave the hard edged working class country backround they came from with those almost Beatle-esk melodies and harmonies is amazing. Funny how a band can sound so local, and still appeal to a much larger audience. Spend a little time in Cabarrus, work as a welder, brickmason or carpenter. You hear one of their songs, it's almost speaking to you.
I agree, I love the local North Carolinian culture and all these dang yankees keep moving down here(semi-ironic) causing some issues. My mom grew up in Cabarrus county and my grandparents still live there. Even though I'm young, I have fond memories of listening to this music on the way to family gatherings and Myrtle beach.
Most stupid thing I've ever heard! Mumford&Sons's lyrics are incomparable! Have you ever heard " The Cave", "White Blank Page","Ghosts That We knew"?! C'mon...
These boys are great and a refreshing change from the superficial pop music so prevalent these days. They've got talent, enthusiasm, and something worth saying.
I am in no way, shape, or form a country fan. The Avett Brothers are my favorite band. I was simply responding to the ignorant people putting this in the same category as country music.
LYRICS All it'll take is just one moment and You can say goodbye to how we had it planned Fear like a habit, run like a rabbit, out and away Through the screen door to the unknown And I want to love you and more I want to find you and more Where do you reside when you hide? How can I find ya? 'Cause I want to send you and more I want to tempt you and more Can you tell that I am alive? Let me prove it You and I, we're the same Live and die, we're the same Hear my voice, know my name You and I, we're the same Live like a pharaoh Sing like a sparrow anyway Even if there is no land or love in sight We bloom like roses, lead like Moses, out and away Through the bitter crowd to the daylight And I want to love you and more I want to find you and more Can you tell that I am alive? Let me prove it to ya You and I, we're the same Live and die, we're the same You rejoice, I complain But you and I, we're the same Live and die, we're the same You and I, we're the same Hear my voice, know my name You and I, we're the same I want to love you and more I want to find you and more Where do you reside when you hide?

This is just one of the most perfect songs there is. idk why but if I listen to it once I have to listen to it 30 times. (Jk I know it's ADHD but this song is still perfect)
This is real music. Not the crap being pumped out were forced to endure to listen to on the radio these days. You guys should come here to Saskatoon Canada! We missed seeing you in Vancouver when we lived there :( These guys are my husband and I's favorite. Must listen too!
i am being selfish...i don't want them any "bigger"...if everyone finds out about them i'll never be able to see them live again. the worst concert i have ever been to was Mumford and Sons- tried to enjoy them at a small venue in Wisco- young hipsters who were rude-stupidly drunk-just an all around horrible experience. We were blessed with the Avett Brothers at Red Rocks this summer....cannot put into words how amazing it was. Their music pierced my soul, i still cry thinking about it. Peace people!
They wont get really really big because the focus on the art and producing really really good music instead of producing "marketable" swill just to make money. Not in it to get rich....in it to be and become great artists and produce great music..
SavagesInMyTown This band has been at it since 2000, long before Mumford hit it big. They are born and bred independent and were only picked up by a major label three years ago, and had mainstream success long before that. The Avett Brothers are a completely separate entity, with no influence from Mumford and Sons. If anything, their music and stage performances show that Mumford and Sons may be influenced by TAB. So, fortunately, you are wrong. I'm very proud to say that I grew up minutes from these guys and that the culture around here is what shaped them, even in their music today, not major labels such as Universal or Mumford and Sons.
I love watching Scott and Seth sing. Theyre just so passionate about their music. They need more recognition. So much better than than the top hits on the radio.
i grew up on these people. Thank you for giving me a whole childhood of good music. Pop music will always be seen as better, but they don't know how good and special this stuff is. Keep doing well and give new generations their childhoods.
Love this song (and band). I've played guitar for 30 years, banjo for about 3 months. I'm learning this banjo part now. It's a lot trickier than it sounds to play it right. Scott makes it look (and sound) easy.
No matter how often I play this song it's like hearing it for the very first time. Very very few songs uplift me like this one does. Wonderful. PS Jacob the drummer is the spitting image of my son, Matt - also a drummer. Another reason to love this song!
Went last night, also the best concert I've ever been to...they brought tears to my eyes...and down my face if I'm honest, just from the pure joy and beauty of it😊
@@pamvandusen4433 It was a spiritual experience when I saw them live the first time in Huntington, West Virginia. I stood about 6 feet from the stage and apron and I was completely enthralled and transported. I have seen them live two more times and though they have been great all three times, the intimacy of the first venue kind of ruined me for bigger ones. I went to their NYE concert in NC and saw them following a Reds game in Cincinnati. That was over a year ago and I definitely overdue for a live show ! 😁
its good to have honest music to share with my son that also has a raspy background native to the home North Carolina that in which i come from!!! im in alberta canada now but plan on visiting soon keep it up guys
I remember hearing them play on some tv show overnight years ago - like an alternative music showcase. Someone please give me a reality check - this song only came out in 2012? I would swear I heard it years before that - like before 2004 (I thought I heard it when we lived in our old house and we left there in 2004). Guess it’s true time moves differently as you get older.
Im currently 16 but I remember when I was younger living in Baltimore we had a black Nissan versa, going for drives with my dad going to baseball games or playing disk golf we would listen to the avett brother all the time a band that I couldn't imagine life without.
My daughter was dancing to these guys before she could walk, she would hold the sofa edge and shimmy. I was pleased and honored to take her last week to see them put on one hell of a set.
They are great people and deserve so much more than most of the bands out there for they have real talent. When I was 9, just a few months after my dad died I got to go backstage and meet them.

snotrod7 I'm sorry for your loss . My heart goes out to you
they dont know how lucky they are ...
I lost my mom at 17, I feel your pain.
Alex how you doing man?
Be strong, be kind, decide what to be and go be it! Make yourself and your mom proud!

SAME! :) But it was my daughter.
Me too, but it was my husband probably 10-11 years ago. I am so obsessed with them too! I am 62 years old and think they are so cute!!
This is exactly what happened to me. He just didn't think it through hahaha.
I was at that show
I am 62 years old and love this band. Going to see them in Atlanta June 9, 2017. Can't wait!!
Was it fun?
Dad?
@@jacobr.1769 lmaoo
Same age, LOVE them!
Im 9 I hope 🤞 I can see them for my birthday 🥳 *has there merch on as I type *
His voice is so clear, the instruments are so great, the lyrics are awesome, their beards look so nice...
The beard does not look that good
Their hair looks nice
+Jessica Hegoas Their beards got better after a few years, though.
Paola Espejo true fact
I still love this song and them so freaking much
After 10 years, I've found the song that stuck in my head for such a long time 😌
Must be a good felling
My boyfriend used to wake me up by singing this song to me before he died... Sort of morbid to still be listening to it, but I just can't stop...
+Meredythe Edwards Sorry for your loss...
+Meredythe Edwards Sorry to hear that. Hope life treats you well going forward.
Meredythe Edwards REST. IN. PEACE.
Meredythe Edwards 😢😢
Hey Girl you feel grief for your boyfriend .. every time you hear the song the pain and the grief makes you feel and remember your lost love .. sooo... May you have strong grief as the tears drop and roll down your cheeks smile knowing you loved your boyfriend dearly and miss him.

This song does not get old. "Hear my voice know my name"

Wow such a coincidence, I knew this song for a very long time, learned it today and I’m turning 15.
You kids have amazing taste! Kudos.
@@avenrules3632was 15 3 years ago. Weird coincidence.

You might want to rethink the phrasing of "Got turned on by my daughter..." It's little Trump-y.
IamaKaliedoscope lolol too funny. thought the same thing
Thank CZcams I find that band, GREAT!
This is the type of music that touches your soul
Let me see... flawless taste of music brought me here.
Heck yeah it’s amazing 🤩
It's Mother's Day, I'm making pancakes for my boys and blasting Avett Bros, Brandi Carlile, Bob Schneider, Secret Sisters and Joni top volume while I flip the flap jacks. Wish you all impeccable music lovers were here too.
My dad brought me here and I fell in love❤️
MiaCoolCat123 same
Personal musical exploration brought me here and I thoroughly reccomend it to everyone.
+Dave McElhaney Aren't you just a shining special star.
+Naganahara Mio yes sir, aren't we all
Dave McElhaney No. If everyone was shining and special, then by definition nobody would be.
I do it about twice a week
I'm obsessed with this song. The energy is contagious. Makes me want to play music!
Such a George Harrison feel...and feels good.
Kinda sounds like the demo version of Run of the Mill at the beginning
anndiver that is exactly what I think of.
geo harrison reincarnated.
You are very right on.
;-)
From a hippie Gramma who knows. Lol
It makes you feel.
I've grown up listening to the avett brothers, still one of my favorite bands
Same |-/

Where do you guys live?
god the banjo sounds so great

That is so true. Love them!

Wonderful band that makes me think there just might be hope for the future of music after all.
Mumfords could only dream of writing songs as good as theese boys
Most stupid thing I've ever heard! Mumford&Sons's lyrics are incomparable! Have you ever heard " The Cave", "White Blank Page","Ghosts That We knew"?! C'mon...
Guilherme Baptista Yes, I've heard them and The Avett Brothers still own those Mumford posers.
07foxmulder thank you.
Paul Cooke both good, but they're no Bieber
Why can't we just enjoy both bands?
These boys are great and a refreshing change from the superficial pop music so prevalent these days. They've got talent, enthusiasm, and something worth saying.
I think im the only person that came back , after 3 years no recent comments 😢
I'm still listening all the time!
I am in no way, shape, or form a country fan. The Avett Brothers are my favorite band. I was simply responding to the ignorant people putting this in the same category as country music.
This song made me cry. Only like 1 TV show and 1 other song have done that. So great.
try listening to 'our town' by iris dement
I love this song so much
I loved the song '' Winter's in my heart''
Why are all these songs so pretty???
"Can you tell that I am alive? Let me prove it to ya."
I found this song from This is 40 and I can't stop listening to it. It's addictingly good.
12 am and a tear drop falls in my class of whiskey....
At the end of THIS IS 40.BRilliant.love it.made my day.
They are so underrated
Love love love this song. We just downloaded all the Avett Brothers albums off iTunes. They were a great find! They remind me of Mumford&Sons.
I cry when I hear this song, every time.
Where the heck are great guys like this? hmmm? I'm Alive!...I'll "Prove it to Him!!"... ; )'... ; )'
LYRICS
All it'll take is just one moment and
You can say goodbye to how we had it planned
Fear like a habit, run like a rabbit, out and away
Through the screen door to the unknown
And I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
Where do you reside when you hide?
How can I find ya?
'Cause I want to send you and more
I want to tempt you and more
Can you tell that I am alive?
Let me prove it
You and I, we're the same
Live and die, we're the same
Hear my voice, know my name
You and I, we're the same
Live like a pharaoh
Sing like a sparrow anyway
Even if there is no land or love in sight
We bloom like roses, lead like Moses, out and away
Through the bitter crowd to the daylight
And I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
Can you tell that I am alive?
Let me prove it to ya
You and I, we're the same
Live and die, we're the same
You rejoice, I complain
But you and I, we're the same
Live and die, we're the same
You and I, we're the same
Hear my voice, know my name
You and I, we're the same
I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
Where do you reside when you hide?
How can I find ya?
'Cause I wanna save you and more
I wanna tempt you and more
Can you tell that I am alive?
Let me prove it
You and I, we're the same
Live and die, we're the same
You rejoice, I complain
But you and I, we're the same
Live and die, we're the same
You and I, we're the same
Hear my voice, know my name
You and I
You and I
Through the screen door to the unknown . . . What a wonderfull philosophy!!!
and I lived it.
Colleen Hoover brought me here

Love this song.
I love that the ad before this was their gap commercial for this song, so awesome

Red Rocks is my all-time favorite venue; SO beautiful.
Oh ! I dream of seeing and hearing them at Red Rocks !
They wont get really really big because the focus on the art and producing really really good music instead of producing "marketable" swill just to make money. Not in it to get rich....in it to be and become great artists and produce great music..
Red rocks is an awesome venue
I listen to this song everyday before school, it just sets my day off right! I love this song and probably will always Love it!
Great music doesn't need to be boxed into a genre.
I missed out on TAB until I heard this song and that's all she wrote. I love these brothers (of course Bob and Joe too!) and the Avett sister!
I got so excited when I heard them being played during the movie This is 40.

The Avett Brothers : I had to listen by my youngest daughter: And now I love the music. Everyday
I love watching Scott and Seth sing. Theyre just so passionate about their music. They need more recognition. So much better than than the top hits on the radio.
Hit thumbs up if you listen to Scott's voice behind Seth's voice in the Chorus.
Always, listening for Scott
It's called harmonization. I sing along with it.
mighty comfortable here....zzzZZZ
Also, if you ever get a chance to go to one of their shows you will not be dissapointed! I've been fortunate enough to see em twice so far.
great song. great band. and the brothers are easy on the eyes. am I right ladies?
I love this song it makes me cry
Jessica Hegoas mm
'The Carpenter' is a rarity, a true masterpiece from start to finish.
Emotionalism, Migonette, Four Thieves Gone. They are all good.
Be still my heart! ....and YES, they can sing too! 💜
Slammed brought me here, and I loved it!
Endlessly proud of the Avetts.
i grew up on these people. Thank you for giving me a whole childhood of good music. Pop music will always be seen as better, but they don't know how good and special this stuff is. Keep doing well and give new generations their childhoods.
one of the few songs that me make me feel all nice inside

See them LIVE and you will love them even more :)
Saw them at Bonnaroo about two weeks ago and started crying when they played this song haha
North Carolina ftw!
Light Buzzkill Yay! We aren’t the worst!
Who are the 16 fools that dislike the Avett Brothers?
I can't get enough of their music!!
they're even better live

I just discovered this band yesterday while reading the book "Slammed." That was the only good thing the book had to offer.
Scott avett awsome tallent hes a genius full stop
I WAS trying to find this song for the longest.
My favorite song for 8 years easily
My daughter was dancing to these guys before she could walk, she would hold the sofa edge and shimmy. I was pleased and honored to take her last week to see them put on one hell of a set.
"This is 40" brought me here 😊
Shady+Life booo
I knew I had heard this somg, and that movie came to mind! Thabks for confirming
i see you are a man of culture as well
If you don't listen to The Avett Brothers, I have no respect for you.
You're talking to a lot of people that would be willing to kill you for a tater tot.

I'm not a brit, and a tater tot is a small, fried piece of potato

i want to cry this is so good!!!!!!! :') real music still exists
