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...

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!!

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.

Through the screen door to the unknown . . . What a wonderfull philosophy!!! and I lived it.

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. :,)

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

@sseal6088

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.

Where the heck are great guys like this? hmmm? I'm Alive!...I'll "Prove it to Him!!"... ; )'... ; )'

"Can you tell that I am alive? Let me prove it to ya."

I'm obsessed with this song. The energy is contagious. Makes me want to play music!

try listening to 'our town' by iris dement

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.

Why are all these songs so pretty???

The Avett Brothers : I had to listen by my youngest daughter: And now I love the music. Everyday

I found this song from This is 40 and I can't stop listening to it. It's addictingly good.

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 loved the song '' Winter's in my heart''

I discovered this band because I am a big fan of Jennifer Carpenter. OMG! Love!!

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 love this song so much

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.

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 so underrated

great song. great band. and the brothers are easy on the eyes. am I right ladies?

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.

I just discovered this band yesterday while reading the book "Slammed." That was the only good thing the book had to offer.

I got so excited when I heard them being played during the movie This is 40.

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 ! 😁

The brothers are too cute! Love them equally :)

Saw them at Bonnaroo about two weeks ago and started crying when they played this song haha

I absolutely love the lyrics & music from these dudes! They're dope! ✌🏻❤

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.

I remember going to their concert in Baltimore a few years back and I had to listen to this song while throwing up in the bathroom lmao

This is possibly one of those songs that you will never get tired of hearing.

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!

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!

That life and death are inseperable. That living means dying, but there's always happiness in life. I cried like a little girl. I swear, I'll never be the same again after reading Slammed and listening to Avett brothers.
