    "If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die."
    The Avett Brothers always add substance, character, and believability to their music. I will be forever thankful for the music they share with the world.

    You can tell that The Avett Brothers love what they do and they put everything they have into it...I think anyone who has ever seen them live would agree.

    This band and this song in particular give me a lot of hope for the future. The Avett Brothers are just amazing both musically and lyrically. I hope they never stop.

    One of my favorite songs of all time. Like all classics it makes you cry and happy inside at the same time! I am obsessed with it because sometimes it sounds like one long cry and then it is the happiest most life affirming song the next time I hear it. Its a perfect mirror of the soul

    I absolutely love how every Avett video has a collection of very protective fans that will not hesitate to put people in their place if they want to talk some smack!

    Easy people! We all went through that ignorant phase of our lives when we didn't know about how great this band was. This is someone's first step to becoming more awesome.

    Its hard to pick a favorite from the Avett Bros but if I had to choose this song is the best by far!

    When Aristotle said "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.", he was predicting the Avett Brothers.

    Music inception: paused Avett Brothers on Pandora to listen to Avett Brothers on CZcams.
    I hear their music and it reminds me of everything that I know is true and right and real. Their message of living life and experiencing it as it is is so inspirational and beautiful that I will admit to singing along while crying. I hope they continue to make music for as many years as makes them happy. I, for one, never want to stop listening.

    • @EmilieLeTrangere
      @EmilieLeTrangere Před 9 lety +5

      mrseanjc Yeah, it sure is folk. But I see in folk-based music what true country music is and used to be: very acoustic and story-based.

  • @AdamFreeman13
    @AdamFreeman13 Před 11 lety

    He looks a lot like Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes. Fairly similar style too, which is cool. But anyway, Avett Brothers are incredibly talented and should not go unnoticed.

    This song is part of a refreshing and countermadness way which will help you if you listen and follow up on what you think as a result. A pathway to a cleaner, kinder, more decent and loving Life is here lying before you. How can you expect anything at all if you refuse to be distracted from what you admit is madness? If you are a POW of the war on goodness and so on, Escape is a virtue....a high duty even. Listen to the song without the agenda and the cages around your heart and mind. notsogrim

    I like that I am introduced to random bands. How else would I get to find out about these people if they don't get some sort of media coverage? Radio stations certainly are incapable of that these days since most stations are ran by monopolies that feed us the same crap day in and day out. Yeah, I don't mind a little random from the typical mundane.

    At least this is something good and uplifting that CNN is putting out. Plus it's not like what they usually put out should be considered "news" or even "good" or "informative".

    how is your reply to Grim Reaper any less aggressive than their post? some people have opinions that differ from yours, and this person posted a simple opinion. if youtube doesn't care, the avett brothers don't care, then why would you care?
