I cannot tell you how many times I have seen Scott constantly trying to get his banjo in tune. must get old.

The Avett Brothers are so underrated Watching them live is like a religious experience, only much better:

This is the beauty that happens when Poetry & Music collide.

This is one of Seth's best works. Passionate, raw, abstract, unique.

Dream come true, I’m singing this in my kitchen

I have had the line I'm drawn to you, expressed to me recently by someone who has admired and loved me from afar. So when I heard this song I immediately thought of this man and knew instantly this is how he has felt and feels about me, so I shared it with him, he was speechless. How could these fine songwriters see into the heart of man who in the future would say those words to me? Love does transcend time and space.

I know. I am that person from afar in love. I lived with her for a brief time, until she found out I was there and had me thrown out of her house. Ahh, to be in love.

The ending “I love you I’m sorry” makes me want to cry

Seth has such a poetic romantic heart!

first time i danced with my then boyfriend...now husband was to this song. first concert i saw with him was three days in bonaroo. it was a magical experience that ended in beautiful fireworks. they are beyond amazing.

First time listener, first time commenter: My wife’s cousin is too shy to stand up and tell you guys this but I’ll tell her secret: She LOVES you guys!!!

This song always makes me want to cry. So beautiful. I don’t know why this is the first time I’m watching them sing this live. I should’ve seen this sooo long ago.

Easily one of my favorite songs. Seeing this performed live was unlike anything else I've ever experienced.

I loved this song the first time I heard it live...Sept 12, 2015 in Chattanooga (when they were still kinda working out the chords and lyrics). Then loved it even more when I bought True Sadness and got to hear a finished version. But, I was unprepared for the emotional response I had to watch the documentary, "May It Last" and get to watch Scott and Seth literally come up with the words as you watch. Amazing.

I love the way Scott closes his eyes

Seth's smile at the end....

"I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle Lighting up your living room high on the mantle I could bring some romance without any scandal And then when you were done you'd just put me out I wish I was a tune you sang in your kitchen Putting your groceries away and washing your dishes I could float around your tongue and ease the tension And then when you were done you'd just quiet down But if I get too close Will the magic fade? Would I turn you off or away? If I pull you in Would I push you out Of something here you care about? I'm at a loss for what to do I'm drawn to you I wish I was a sweater wrapped around your hips And when it got too cold into me you'd slip And when the sun came back you would hang me up And I would watch you while you undress But if I get too close Will the magic fade? Would I turn you off or away? If I pull you in Now would I push you out Of something here you care about? Well I'm at a loss for what to do But I'm drawn to you I'm not a song I am not a sweater I'm not a fire I am something better I'm a man in love writing you a letter Will you take it Will you keep it Will you read it Believe it I love you I'm sorry Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Robert Crawford / Scott Avett / Timothy Avett I Wish I Was lyrics © BMG Rights Management"

Seth and Scott, this is one of your most beautiful....

Try to find a live performance where Scott doesn't mess with tuning of his banjo mid playing, it is very difficult.

Banjo strings stay tight and loosen from plucking so tuning is constant. I seen him bust a string and restring it mid song and that blew my mind but they have insane musical talents

Tar Crystalline not at all. I dont feel like scott really loves it like he did many years ago. I play instruments and tried the banjo and its really difficult but scott isnt enjoying himself anymore and that's obvious. Seth is on point as always though. Ive been a f an since country was. Those guys played their herts out. Google their npr video with I and love and you and see how much more into they were.

Spellbinding...

Awesome as usual

Now this is REAL music.....LOVE

Waiting for them to play concerts in NYC area! Beautiful music! And not ONE background dancer!!!

I like the tune... But someone PLEASE tune that banjo lol

Where can I get that shirt at? I'm looking for that shirt.

i really liked the part when they were plucking strings and blowing air out of their mouths

If this is a good performance in your opinion you must've just found the band. Ive been a fan for a long time and this is by far the worst they've ever sounded. Scott it seems doesnt enjoy himself much anymore and its starting to show. I remember when they were nobodies and had such drive to impress. Now its just a job or a burden. They need to take some personal time off to find that passion and drive again

Totally agree. The song itself is great. Seth is spot on, but Scott's banjo playing (in this performance) and harmony (or lack thereof) is pretty piss poor.
