The Avett Brothers - Live And Die

[@paisleylaura4221]

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.

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. :,)

[@Theenathanhuggett]

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

[@druwski]

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.

[@caharnish41]

Great music doesn't need to be boxed into a genre.

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 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.

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

[@twohandsmcgee]

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.

[@jefff4936]

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.
