...but really I just wanted to write "Man I love the Avett Brothers!!!"
Have you ever discovered a band only to somehow completely and utterly forget about them? It happens to me more often than I would like to admit (I rediscovered Paper Lions on my ipod only last week!) and it happened with The Avett Brothers just this afternoon.
I remember the first time I heard this song; I was going through a pretty crappy time. I hated living in the city, I and I was really really missing my family and the line "Always remember there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name" made me cry like a baby.
Likewise I felt like I was always trying to pretend that everything was fine, and it completely freaked me out that everyone seemed to think I was totally alright while I was falling apart inside. The line in Head Full of Doubt... "There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light... and I'm frightened by those who don't see it" seemed to describe exactly how I was feeling in a way that somehow didn't make it feel worse. Also the video is absolutely beautiful.
Looking back on those two songs now seems strange, they bring back those memories, but also somehow mean something completely different to me now. "Decide what to be and go be it." Apparently I was listening more closely than I thought...
