I’m a 47 year old man, the husband of one woman and the father of one daughter. I’m a veteran. I’ve buried three sisters, two brothers, my father, and my mother. I admit, most of my thoughts are unfriendly, like swimming in a cave, without light or air, and each stroke takes more away. I try to see what beauty is available each day and it’s talent like this that makes a lot of it all better. Keep writing and singing such beautiful things.

[@solomonslaura]

I pray for your peace. Thank you for your service. Many people suffer silently and only those that share similar pain know the true hurt that people have. My heart hurts for you.

[@skrsojmpz1503]

I doubt I'd ever be able to completely relate to you, but I want you to know that you are always appreciated by someone. Hold onto hope, however you can, because it will always be worth it.

[@cindimanley6446]

A little over 4 years ago my 23 year old son took himself out of this world forever. Even with a deep and abiding faith in God, my wound remains incurable, my heart shattered. On the second anniversary of his death I came across this song. I heard my son talking to me. I couldn't begin to explain the depth of the song's meaning for my particular sorrow, but I would love for the Avett Brothers to know that this piece of music, far greater than the sum of its parts,, has soothed a mother's broken spirit in ways they could never have imagined. I have thanked God so often for its personal message to me, and now I am pleased to be able to thank the ones through whom the message came.

Never before I had heard this song, today it appeared on a playlist, and not knowing why I started playing it on repeat, so I stopped to listen to it, to see what was going on.... all hardness in my heart melted and I cried, and then came here, looking for somebody that maybe had felt the same...

Real connections cannot be broken by time or space. Quantum entanglement. Youll see Lucas again. I cant promise you that but my friend, I'm quite sure of it. I'm of the same mind; I think dogs are the best of us here on this planet. I never met one i didn't like or didn't take to me quickly. They live in the moment, have no fear of death, no anxiety because of it and have that happy, playful in the here and now spirit. I dont trust people who dont like dogs. I trust a dog that doesn't like a person though. Hang in there. We will all meet again.

I heard this song for the first time today in my car. I didn't know until just now that I had heard it from the first line. My husband passed from cancer 3 years ago in his early 40s and he wanted to live so badly, and tried so hard to beat it. He wasn't ready and was scared. Yet in his last 36 hours, despite his tumor-ravaged brain, he forgave people and let go. It was humbling to listen to him. I guessed this was the Avett Bros, whose first song I ever heard was "I and Love and You", which we both liked as it was on the radio a lot when we'd drive the several hours to a faraway city for his doctors' appointments, now 4 very long years ago. I miss him so very much. This song.

My background is in R&B. I swore I'd join Boyz II Men if given a chance. My alternative friends dragged me to the Mint Museum in Charlotte in maybe 03' or 04'. I was one of maybe 3 black folks there and stood out in my hip hop attire. I didn't expect much. Then I heard these guys play and sing for the first time. It was amazing! I've since then become a man, married a sweet lady and raised 2 wonderful kids. I'm so glad to see that awesome band is still together making beautiful songs.

Ali, you taught me how to make people happy with small compliments, and I took that with me to make more people happy, thanks to you. Farewell.

[@girlandherguitar]

As a professional singer I get asked the question, what is my favourite song. With so many incredible songs having come to my ears in my life, I have always said that it depended on the day or that it was impossible to narrow it down to one. I also get asked to learn songs for people or friends and normally smile and say I will give it a listen but cringe a little. A friend asked me to learn this for her as a gift to her. It turns out, this is a gift to me. Wonderful song. Out of the thousands & thousands of songs in my life, I finally have a favourite! 🙏

I lost the only person in my life that ever truly cared about me. My Dad. I listen to this song every now & then…this week was my Dads Bday (6th/march)…I come here still to listen and to read others comments. To know that I’m not alone. Though I still feel very much alone. I’m thankful for this and the artist who wrote this beautiful song. And for all of you out there as well. One day at a time.

I'm saddened to read your comment. I'm crying as I type. ...maybe in part, being emotionally raw from this (and other) powerful songs. I lost my dad a little over a year ago. I'm sorry that you feel so alone. I wish I could solve that for you. Even the thing I would most want to share, my belief in Jesus, stories of sensing His close presence in some very low (and very high) moments, and the comfort He brings me can't be quickly or easily conveyed.

[@nopeIdontthinkso388]

He knows, it's not linear anymore, he knows everything now, including and especially how much you loved him He is at peace.

[@Bennirae]

We played this at my dad's memorial yesterday. My sister kept listening to it and it really resonated with all of us. We played it during a slideshow of pictures of his life. Glad we heard it when we needed to.

[@claire3852]

Bennirae 💛, he’s at peace now

[@rorycolgan]

❤️

[@terrihamel2668]

We just lost dad. My siblings made a montage, too, with this amazing song. I've been listening to it non-stop. No words to describe how deep this goes.

[@linettelalitadunbar2653]

Endlessly expressively beautiful. The blend of trembling timbre and lyricism, timing and strings- it’s magical. A musical mountain just moved. And for a few minutes grief stopped swirling and found form. A masterpiece. My dad would have loved it With Thanks 💜

[@garyhunter6886]

Most beautiful song I’ve ever heard! I’m an old man now. On my death bed I want my grandson to play two songs, forever young by Bob dylan, that’s my wish for them and no hard feelings that’s my song. Thanks guys

[@adamstringer9597]

Yes, sir. Two of the very best songs I've ever heard.

[@hipbonejones9313]

this song came on in my car after my girlfriend and I were discussing my mom passing away from cancer at 42. I was telling her what haunted me most was my mom being scared in her final moments in that hospital room, and couldn't help but breakdown just saying it out loud. And then as if my mom could hear me, this song started playing. I absolutely heard and understood .

[@fistteam]

@ Coreleone_ Hang in there friend and know that your mom is in sooo much better a place than this earth could ever be! God Bless you and your family and stay strong!! Your mothers shining down from heaven, I'm sure she's very proud of you & never forget her and what she went through to help bring you into your life!. We've all lost Loved ones, or will one day...I miss my dad every single day and he's been gone since '03!

[@LizaAsiyah]

[@monicailikethistoomax5764]

Coreleone _ it always gets better it took me 8 years but I'm still here if it doesn't get better I wish I could explain more but I think you already know

[@ncackgrl]

I just read your comment and got the chills.

[@Tsuma_Vento]

That's beautiful. May it give you solace.

[@markcost547]

I've heard this song a hundred times and still today i listen and can't help but to feel the emotion of loss and love in my veins. I miss you mom

[@dbkoala]

I was watching May it Last yesterday and during the recording session for this song my 12 year old daughter walked up to me, hugged me, and danced with me during the duration of the song. I’ll always remember that moment. One of the best moments as a dad brought on by a beautifully written and performed song. Thanks guys.

[@cmmndrblu]

This song helped me recover from a deep depression. And now I play it to remund me how I want to live, the love I want to foster and grow before my time is up xxxxx

[@TigerGilliam]

Love you forever. I'm so grateful our paths crossed on this earth. RIP my dear friend Jumpin Jack ❤

[@MBFamilyFoodsPensacola]

Such a mighty, mighty song. My heart soars every time I listen to it.

[@jo_ann_5893]

My son Joseph ended his life on Tuesday, Oct 12, 2021 at the age of 34. I was wondering why he wasn’t coming home. On Thursday the 14th I received a text from my eldest sons gf. They were remodeling the porch in the house my ex and I had sold my eldest son. She said “Look what I found behind the woodwork when I pulled it out.”It was a picture of me holding Joseph in my arms for the first time after he was born. The Lord told me, “He’s with me now, and he’s made all new again, just like on here, and now, he’s in My arms.” My eldest daughter went to his campsite where she found him. He had hung himself from his tree. Set himself free from a lifetime struggle with drug addiction. The Lord led me to this song last week when I was struggling really bad with missing him. This song is anointed by the Lord. It makes me cry good tears because he’s no longer hurting and is happy with no hard feelings. I know we will be together again someday and spend eternity in Heaven.

[@barbmckean]

I am so very sorry for your deep & profound loss. I'm happy this song brings you comfort.

[@tanyalowrydesign]

Thank you for sharing about dear Joseph, about your heart, the journey, and your precious family. There can never be enough words to paint the truth of the picture you painted... bless your deep heart for so much love.

[@trazaful]

Much love to you and your family ❤️

[@christenefancher1740]

The lyrics are a gift from the Lord composed by you very wonderful men. I'm certain that they have soothed the souls of many feeling horrible, horrible pain. Myself included. I listen to this song every day as it seems to somehow quiet the pangs of grief that I carry with me daily. Thank you seems inadequate. God hold you in his hands and bless your lives.

[@TheLotusWeAre]

Graciously n aHumble Way ..PeaceSuits Every Occasion

[@MDKDekay]

I think that the lyrics to this song, as well as the way it is sung, make this one of the most moving songs I have ever heard. I have no hard feelings and am ready to meet my Savior and His Father. I do not cry in sadness when I listen to this song, I cry in happiness. Thank you Avett brothers.

[@catheyrohletter862]

Played a my niece's funeral. It really hit home for everyone. Thank you for this beautiful song.

[@elainezarbo8948]

One of the most meaningful songs i have ever heard. Everyone should hear this song!

[@mattc.6457]

Damn if this song didn't speak to my soul and help me to work through some anger and resentment that I've been holding on to for a couple years. Love these guys.

[@nicholassullivan1239]

Agreed

[@annecarr8677]

Do you all know this song was written for our brother Andy who passed on 5/25/22. He was a kind and joyful fisherman who loved the people God put in his life. He didn’t have one mean bone in his body and no hard feelings. You would’ve loved him. Everyone who knew him did. He laughed shaking his Saviors hands....

[@Fefe559]

Crying listening to this. So beautiful. Missing my husband today, this easter day, this song started playing on my iphone at 2:30 am last night when i was sleeping alone in my house? Never heard it before, or the brother’s tbh. This song just started playing randomly in middle of night. I know my husband is in a good place & he had NO ENEMIES. Now I need to learn how to have no regrets too when its-my turn

[@praywoutceasing7717]

Wow! Amazing that God sent you this beautiful song in the middle of the night! Today is the first time I heard it while watching one of my watchman channels. I've been waiting for His Blessed Hope, which I believe is so very soon!❤ Can't wait for that perfect unconditional eternal love! ❤❤❤

[@mariehosch156]

oh my goodness if ever there were a sign from beyond this is it. What a special thing to have received.

[@Rorschach--hm3dk]

How have I only just come across these?! Immediately loved their music, that doesn’t happen often. Brilliant.

[@jonbailey5713]

My wife passed in June, this is first I heard this song and second song I have heard by Avett Brothers. I thank you and it helps.

[@nathano87]

Murder in the City should be the next song you listen to

[@joyceweinberger1322]

@Julie Garland so very sorry for your loss. Moms are within our 💖💖 forever. May this song bring you comfort, it has for me. 💙

[@thehangman3323]

I woke up this morning with this song in my head. Today’s is the 3 year anniversary of my fathers passing. The universe speaks to us. Just got to listen

[@screamingatweedswithmaggie4981]

I have never heard of you, and as a fellow musician, I am moved so deeply and fighting cancer and the effects of four years of chemo. I need you to know...I am finally moved. I needed this. Thank you so much. I mean that...thank you. You all...even silent bob over there...you are all so talented and should wake up every single day knowing that...and knowing that you are changing lives. Again...thank you. I really needed this.

[@annemariebegley8694]

God bless you!

[@wwaldo2525]

[@zeevogel]

You hust hang in there, you hear? Hang in there.

[@kyowah1331]

Man I’m so sorry to hear that . I truly hope that you’re winning the battle. I’ve lost both my father and my brother in law to this awful disease. God bless.

[@robinbyrd410]

I hope you are feeling well ..as I know in reality you actually are 💜

[@marionoat7529]

My son dedicated this song to my husband, his step dad. My husband was in Hospice care in the hospital at the time. What a beautiful gift this song was and will always be. This is absolutely the most beautiful song I have ever heard. I cannot say thank you enough for the live in this song. My husband passed away later that week with this song in his heart and mine. Thank you❤️❤️❤️

[@SpookMeows13]

I was just at their show on the 29th and heard this song for the first time. I looked over and saw my mom choking up, wiping tears from her eyes. I know she was thinking about my cousin who just passed away. My mind went to the exact same place. It's always hard to lose someone, but I know that he's somewhere much better than here. Hearing this song helped me to really believe it. Thank you, Avett Brothers, for putting things into perspective. Your beautiful words and beautiful voices are helping to heal this pain. This song couldn't have blessed my ears at a better time. Thank you

[@swedemcf]

I lost it at the end of this song and the brothers together in the documentary. These guys are true to the core. We are lucky to have them playing music and the love they bring to it with passion.

[@givensurname1296]

My father just passed. I can't remember if I sent this to him - I wanted to, but I don't know. I'm muddled. It's been in my head since I was told. I wake up with it. I sing it under my breath. I guess I just hope my dad hears it. I love him.

[@jaddison1112]

I pray the faith and sentiments expressed in this song will be what I feel when my body surrenders me, surrenders my earthly body to what may come, or the savior true and into the light of love. This song gives me the map of how to die leaving it all behind, embracing the beyond, I feared so long.

[@TodayFreedom]

Listen. This song was shared with me by a woman in her 60s who has now lost four of her six children. Take that in. A mother. And here am I with the loss of my adored brother thinking my pain was so terrible. I knew nothing. What a song. Thank you.

[@davis267]

We laid Grandma Betty to rest today, and this was the prelude and postlude for her service. We mourn our loss but know she went peacefully and celebrate how appropriate this profound and remarkably tender composition is for our grief❤️

[@randlinton8539]

My brother died January 3rd. His three daughters selected this song to be played at his funeral over a montage of photos from his life. It was perfect. Such a beautiful song. I had never heard it before. I promised my nieces I would learn it on guitar, which I have now done. RIP brother.

[@sarahmcgee-woolwine2101]

I lost my father a few weeks ago and I will never be able to tell him how very grateful I am for him and how much he loved me and my family and the love he had for my mother is something I will never forget. A wonder human being and I’m so damn lucky to call him my dad

[@bribri8042]

Today I turned 32. Tomorrow my grandmother would have turned 81- we lost her this past October. This is my first birthday without her. And I miss her so deeply.

[@moonlightcaroline2423]

I‘m reading a book where the avett brothers are mentioned. And now I just discovered this song. Within less than two months my grandmas and my grandpa died. Both of my grandmas died because of cancer. And now I just feel so lost. I can’t believe that I clicked this song. I started crying only by reading the comments. I just hope that they’re all together. I hope my grandma Gerda will see her husband I never got to meet again. I hope they’ll all see each other. I have the feeling that they are my angels and that they protect me. I can’t imagine everything happening without you. Christmas without you. I will love you forever. Thank you for the best childhood.

[@cccharding]

The greatest complement I can write about this song is I don't have words to describe its profundity. It is so powerful in its truth, it deserves a moment of silence and reflection. In this one song, they encapsulated the human experience in all its beauty, fears, and uncertainties. It makes me ashamed of some of my behaviors and pettiness throughout my life that I have been a part of. I listen to it everyday, several times a day, as a reminder for me to not allow situations or people to get to me to the point I am harboring resentment or ill-will just as the song says: " no hard feelings Lord knows they haven't done Much good for anyone Kept me afraid and cold With so much to have and hold. " Life can be so sweet and sour simultaneously, but the beauty is we have the power to choose how we taste and experience it. This song reminds me of this choice. In the end, with its profound lyrics and incredibly beautiful melody, if I had only 1 word to describe this deeply moving and beautiful contemplative song it would be--SUBLIME!

[@janicecostea7471]

Just lost my brother-in-law/ best friend. He sent me this that night! Fought a short hard battle with leukemia at 40. Had some bad relationships in my life I'm working on so thank you avett brothers!!

I have no words... thank you for this! We lost my Momma last year on Father's Day after a long painful battle with bone marrow cancer😔 Just passed the 1yr. Anniversary! My big bro and I have always kinda been at odds with one another! Even got into it a bit in front of friends and family at Ma's service! Anywho, long story short...I just sent him this song! Would also like to add that this is the kind of music that should be big label and promoted! Music with substance👍

After reading some of the comments I believe that my brother who died 2 years ago would have loved this song... He believed in God and was ready to go. When I make my will I plan on having this song played at my funeral

[@gillbawden]

My dad passed Dec 30th 2022. I think about this song all the time. It is perfect. I love you Dad you were a good man. One day I will see you again. You had no enemy's. You always said to forget what happened yesterday and not to talk about people. You loved me. It was good to have been loved so unconditionally. This is our song xxx

[@katealterman9486]

My daughter sent me this song the day after I loss my mom, I have played it at least 25 times in the last couple of weeks...not sure why but it comforts me. It is truly beautiful.

[@derekkess6074]

I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music🎶 today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?

[@kactiss]

This song brings me comfort for the loved ones I've lost and still miss so much. It's sort of become my daily prayer. I really hope that when my boyfriend died in a bicycle accident that he left in such a state of peace. I believe he did. And my stepdaughter wrote a poem that speaks to this feeling when she accepted her fight with breast cancer was over. Acceptance and forgiveness and finally understanding.

You don't have to be religious to be moved by this song. You don't have to believe in life after death. You just have to be alive. The music and lyrics, the performance and video all come together. So powerful. Truly inspired.

Hard to see how an atheist could get much of anything from this song. Avetts have always been pretty clear that they believe in a higher power.

[@angeladmccain3447]

I want you to know that your music changed my life. I have never related to so many songs from one artist ever. It started my process of healing from years of trauma. It gave me hope that I have never had before. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world and with me.
