I have listened to this song hundreds of times and each time I think of my perfect husband who died tragically five years ago. He had no enemies and everything about this song reminds me of him. My husband and i saw the Avett brothers before they wrote this song and loved them so much. I saw them again this summer in Oregon and they ended with this song and it was so powerful and perfect and touching beyond belief.

At 74 years old this song is a miracle gift. Oh how I pray to not have hard feeling after the decade's ugliness, loneliness in my life. I am trying but fear I will not get there.

And that makes me so happy. On the other hand the song reminded me that I do have hard feelings about some people in my life and it’s time to face them, release them so that I too will be ready. I can’t thank these brothers enough for opening my eyes to the joy I know my guy is enjoying and also starting me on my own journey.

As sit here in the middle east I can't help remember hearing The Avett Brothers for the first time in 2006 when I was 13. The song was "Talk of Indolence" It was even on Myspace. Ever since that day, their music has been a huge part of my life. Their songs have always been a light to guide me through life, from my first love, losing some of my best friends to cancer and a car wreck, heartbreak, forgiveness, regret, loving my family and being a better person. I'm so thankful for their music. I can truly say their music made my life better.

It gets easier brother. I lost my best friend/brother 12.5.19. He decided life was too heavy and couldn’t bare it anymore… It’ll be 4 years this year but every year it gets easier. You’ll have moments where you want to call him up to share things that are happening in life and that’s a normal part of the healing process. I’ve found reminiscing about the good times with him and honestly just talking to him randomly helps a ton. Hope you’re finding resolve. All the best.

I walked with my brother thru his dying process and the taking of his last breath - this song is the closest thing I’ve heard to describing those days beginning with “the laying down of the rings on his fingers and keys to his house.” He truly died with no hard feelings, and it was beautiful to watch him “let free”. Thank you Avett’s for your singing the words of my heart.

[@asoref]

We'd been somewhat estranged but my brother and I were able to be there when my mother died. We were able to forgive and just love while she took leave of her body throughout a few days. We would play this and put our hands on our mother and cry with all of it. Thank you Avett Brothers for this song.

[@vickiehicks29]

I lost my Momma 1 year ago this month and it feels like a piece of me went with her. I went to church 5 Sundays in a roll for her and I cried the whole time. 1 of her wishes was to go to church. I feel like u don't have to go to a building to worship our fabulous God and Jesus. I want this played at my funeral, if I have one. That's why I bought the cd as soon as I watched their movie. It was awesome. Remember when u were a teenager and u would play a song u loved over and over? Well I could listen to this song many many times so thank you The Avett Brothers.

But then I hit repeat again and again. And weep again. Its brilliant.

We just saw you guys at the Sonoma Harvest Musical Festival on 9/21/18 and as always you put on a magical emotional show which ended with this gem. As my girlfriend and I were soaking it in I noticed a man near the front rails, clearly moved to tears by this song and your performance and being embraced by his friends gently, lovingly and compassionately. He was clearly in pain and the catharsis the music was having on him was tangible from 50 yards away. And then I lost it myself. I cried too. In gratitude. In empathy And in total surrender to the power of what real meaningful music can do. Thank you to each of you in this amazing band. Your music means a lot to many of us.

[@dawnsmith652]

It's said that when the last person who remembers you has died it's like you you never existed.immortality doesn't exist- but that isn't true, music like this is essential for the soul,it can lift you up,inspire,enrage,break your heart and/or help piece it back together again.more than once when I've been feeling low,I will listen to Jerry Garcia sing to me"when you hear my voice, come through the music,will you hold it near,as it were your own?" And his voice can sooth me, even though he's been gone from this world 25 years(!) He is still here, what he left behind is a gift and I can't imagine a world where no one has heard a dead song,or the avett brothers,Stevie wonder TTB, Neil Young, and so on.xoxo

[@ShawnMChristopher]

My Papaw was a talker, straight outta Jawja (rural Georgia) and for as long as I can remember no matter what the subject was, our conversations on his back porch always turned to mortality and The End. He did not fear it. He did not speak of it as a thing he knew would “happen” to him. He spoke of Death as a relationship he’d held dearly for a very long time and would one day have to face with honesty and acceptance….and no hard feelings. He found beauty in his surroundings - in the rain, in the birds chirping, and in the difficult times he’d survived… and he made sure to describe that beauty to anyone who would listen. Every single day I am so grateful I listened. He passed away during the pandemic when I was 38 years old, and although I feel like I die a thousand deaths in my heart when hearing this song, it encapsulates every word he ever said to me about that beauty and peace he knew, expected, and accepted. I am so grateful for this.

[@loribelle100]

Just saw May It Last for the first time late last Wednesday night, two years after it came out. By the time Seth got to the line "when my feet won't walk another mile", my throat was tight. By the end I was full-on weeping. Seeing the emotion on Seth's face as he stood, him trying to accept Rubin's excitement, my first thought was, "Man, give him a second to breathe through this!" Then Scott's comment about the "mining of a soul" was the most powerful, true thing. I felt Scott's frustration, understanding at the same time Seth's acceptance that the spirit of their music has to be separate from the commercialism, but how in that emotionally drained moment, they themselves couldn't immediately switch from one to the other. If they could, it wouldn't hold such Truth for all of us. Because it DOES hold Truth. It's clear from the comments here that my reaction was not unique. This touches people. This means something to us, as much as it does to them. And that has nothing to do with how many records are sold or which radio stations play this song. Only saw this film because a friend who has HBO was out of town, and I was feeding her cat. My a/c isn't working, and it was HOT that evening, so I sat at her house for a few hours, soaking up the coolness, watching TV. Happened on this scrolling through HBO's documentaries, since it never occurred to me that it would still be available on demand. Apatow did an incredible job showing who they are as human beings, not just as artists/musicians. But this scene knocked me out. I came home as soon as the show ended and shared this song on fb, saying that I wanted this to be the first song played at my funeral (followed by Amazing Grace, then ending with Murder In the City, which is also wonderful and never fails to give a smile). On Sunday, I was told it was time to go see my uncle, who has suffered from a lung disease for 2 years. Hadn't seen him in 9 months, because we were protecting him from Covid. But he'd stopped eating, so it wouldn't be long. I had been listening to this song on youtube and amazon for 4 days, and now it took on a weight that was far more immediate. Got to see my uncle on Tuesday, and considered sharing this with my aunt, but there were too many people around and it was too personal to do that in a crowd. Listened to this multiple times Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Got the message that he died Wednesday afternoon, a week after hearing No Hard Feelings for the first time. It's been a painful, heartbreaking few days. But although I couldn't know it at the time, this song is like a gift that was given to me right when I was going to need it. I am grateful.

absolutely incredible song. the fact that this was performed live is a testament to everyone in the band being on the same page and believing in this song. One of my favorites of all time

[@greg_in_oz8429]

Just heard this amazing song for the first time in March 2023 and feel like I’ve loved it for decades … absolutely incredible, heartbreaking classic 😢

[@freeman7079]

I find it therapeutic. I can totally see how someone would feel heartbroken by it; but for me it’s a song about facing death with courage and ending our time on earth with dignity and genuine love and compassion for the people God placed around us…good and bad. It gives me a sense of peace. Truly a perfect song and a blessing. God used the brothers to deliver this to us. I first heard this song in March 2023 as well.

[@iamjarrettdean9358]

Truly one of the GREATEST songs EVER written. Amazing.

[@paullee4098]

Wonderful wonderful song. The greatest gift my dad gave to me when I was young was music. And even into his 60's he was still doing it. He text me saying he'd started listening to Avett Brothers and I should check them out. Fantastic band. My dad passed away recently and the lyrics to this are particularly poignant for me.

[@missvoc]

This song gets me every time! There's something special about the Avetts; true, great and good hearted guys. I have no enemies ❤️

[@missvoc]

Albert Vista same here! The May It Last doc gave a bit of an insight into their childhood and growing up but like you said, would be amazing to hear from their parents! They are fantastic :)

[@missvoc]

Albert Vista you can stream it on HBO. That’s the only way I know of at the moment but hopefully it’ll be put on amazon, Netflix etc or be put on DVD at some point 😊

[@1LargeVanillaShake]

This song is just so underrated. I think everybody thinks about this after your bulletproof stage. ❤

[@mendoza2489]

I've been working crazy hours this week on my business. Barely had any time to hang out with the fam. This song came on while I was listening to the lex Friedman podcast. When I heard the first line, it immediately brought me to tears. I had to stop what I was doing and I'm getting ready to head home and take the family out for some fun and make memories. Ya never know when it's gonna be your time to leave this earth so sometimes it's alright to stop and take a moment to focus on the things that matter in this life. Beautiful song.

[@curtbaker3449]

Always moves me to tears every time I hear it…One of the most beautiful songs ever performed, and exactly how I imagine Seth lives his life!🎼❤️

[@johnrupert32]

This is a masterpiece without a doubt. What a better world this could be. This is an anthem

[@thepeoplesoul]

There is divine purpose to our lives.

[@jbbales7331]

I constantly hear this song in my head. Hope my departure is as this song feels, and my sentiments exactly!

[@leahdickinson3813]

They’ve been closing all their shows with this song, and every time I’m there and hear it, it hits me in the chest just like the first time. ❤️❤️

[@BeckyBerg81]

A few years ago my cousin died of cancer at age 40. He choose this song to be played at his celebration of life. Not a dry eye in the place. It still makes me cry every time I listen. Beautiful song and so perfectly written.

[@UnauthorizedComedy]

One of the best written songs... Ever.

[@nicholassullivan1239]

Truth

[@justthinking526]

Watching this 2021 and it's perfect. My heart needs healing from all the loss. This is resting in the Arms of Peace. What a gift!

[@davidmorin2731]

This song took on a special meaning to us after I nearly died from surgery complications and was in a coma. What an amazing ballad for the most sacred of journeys. ❤️

[@hayleyb467]

God loves you and so do I ♡

[@MarciLiroff]

Love this so much. I was at an event where Judd Apatow was the speaker and he showed us this video in which he directed. GORGEOUS song.

[@SalCopppla-t2m]

If you listen to this song and don't reflect on multiple facets of your life then you may not have a pulse or a soul. A masterful song in so many ways.

[@warmfluffysocks1404]

Funny, one has to go thru other venues, not actual regular radio stations, to find music like this. Props to Avert Brothers, they got their own touching beautiful style.

[@gsquad-js1zp]

We get them from time to time in Texas on our Country music stations. But I feel like this next album will take the Americana grammy in 2020 and then we will see where it goes from there!

[@TheVeek192]

There was music WAY before radio.

[@ghostpiratelechuck2259]

I very seldom listen to the radio. But many years ago I rented a car and didn’t have an aux cord. Turned on the radio, and heard Paranoia in Bflat Major. First thing I’d ever heard from them, and I’m still here.

[@JozieWales420]

My good family has passed and the bad family is still bad, but this song makes me feel forgiveness, because in the end it doesn't matter. No hard feelings !

[@Thekick0324]

I have asked for this to be played at my funeral...I LOVE it and it makes so much sense. Staying tuned to the Avett Brothers

[@richardcaul5787]

The loveliest, prettiest song I've heard in a long long time

[@ThatForniteGuy]

Richard Caul ikr

[@bradjacobs7348]

I first heard this song the first time I heard one of my peers and friends took his life. Im in that period where we feel young, but our friends JUST start dying. And it brought me great comfort. despite our relatively young ages. this is song is something on another level, and so beautiful; for now, the past and the future.

[@Tuber828]

I think of my father in law when I hear this song. Before his death, I told him not to be afraid. That he was going to a beautiful place. Every word in this song gives me a heart punch.

[@bruceheckerman7343]

I have a fatal condition from a Taliban sniper bulIet lodged in my brain. So, yeah, this song is very relevant to me. Besides, it's absolutely one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. Thank you guys if you see this.

[@chrissmingler4966]

The scene after they record this song is such a powerful moment

[@Bravebeauty]

Yes, that scene brought tears to my eyes. So does the song sung with such deep emotion.

[@williamwillis1506]

This was one of the few song my grandmother could still hear clearly at the age of 106. She passed on September 23rd, and her funeral was October 1st. We played this song at her memorial service

[@williamwillis1506]

Not a dry eye in the place

[@tatevancleve1802]

I can't believe there is even a single thumbs down on this song. I have to think these were accidental from a touch screen in someone's pocket while listening to the song. Otherwise those ppl are seriously lost with no humanity left. Seriously one of the best, most beautiful songs ever written.

[@whelancommunications]

Any thumbs down is because they thought it was JP Sears singing and they dissapproved of his hair color change.

[@TheVeek192]

People don't have to like what you like. That's the way the world is built. And the fact that some people may not like this song is not an indication that they have bad taste. They flat out like different things. Move on.

[@AlaskaOutdoors]

As a fly fisherman and Alaskan I have come from the grassroots of bands that a lot of people have never heard of. I came across the Avett Brothers on their album, called I and Love and You. The entire album, I listen to for an entire Summer. And no matter what song comes up it reminds me back in the late 2010’s of catching big beautiful rainbows, Roadside and Christ. Also of letting go and finding the true meaning of who I may or may not be. And then this album came out and totally blew my mind. I don’t know if they’re Christian band and I don’t care. I am a Christian and it just gave me more respect for women, relationships, and myself. It just made me love more and it gave me a reminder of a world where it’s so easy to hate point out the wrong of others. it’s easy but it’s harder to find the good in people and I choose the hard road. I choose to find the good and everyone and I think that is the blessing from God no matter what God you believe in it’s easier to find what you don’t like it harder to find the beauty. Maybe we take that hard. Maybe we find that start loving one another more start seeing less of the divide. I love you.

[@AlaskaOutdoors]

It’s hard to pack that on one sentence, but what I’m trying to say is this band really moved me into finding the good people and letting go of the bad. I used to be cynical now I find beauty in everything. The music moved me as a stepping stool towards the light that I needed.

[@jadedoptimist6364]

April from Hacking the Headlines channel sent me. She said you are the only band she listens to. So many bands are too deep into the matrix and "illuminated"🔺 You play REAL music. Love it 💞

[@ThePeterpak]

I’m just thinking about Rick right now man like damn what’s going in his head in that moment witnessing that performance period but as a creator listening to that run on your tape? That’s a trip, the dudes a brilliant creator and it’s cool to watch it go down 🙏

[@bluesteel5688]

This is an absolute gem of a song...lyrics are truly inspired and a great performance right there....if these guys never write another song, they can still rest assured that this is one of best

[@elisejones1715]

This is 1st song I heard The Avett Bros . I am hooked ! Wow !, Beautiful ! LOVE IT ! LISA

[@jpkjnn6733]

Such an unbelievably powerful song.

[@meech37]

one of the best songs I've ever heard.

[@AHinojosa]

I listened this song in the Love’s Netflix series, and I just couldn’t remove from my head. Im Mexican and I love this song.

[@FeathersAndFurOfNJ]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@latricethomas1782]

Love this song. My prayer 🙏
