Hurt so bad
You don’t come around here anymore
Worse than that
Nothing’s really helping I’ve been thinking
'bout drinking again
It’s alright
If you finally stop caring
Just don’t go and tell someone that does
Cause even though I know there’s hope in
Every morning song
I have to find that melody alone
Her name became
The flame unto the fire
A magpie on the wire warned of those
Dead until the high
Shamelessly alive until the low
It’s alright
If you finally stop caring
Just don’t go and tell someone that does
Cause even though I know there’s hope in
Every morning song
I have to find that melody alone
But we can go ahead
If no one notices
What’s the point of it?
I have to ask
How you learn to see
The hope eternally
When you’re soon to leave
Oh, leave at last
Hurt so bad
More than I expected that it would
Worse than that
It seems to be lasting just a little
Longer than it should
It’s alright
If you finally stop caring
Just don’t go and tell someone that does
Cause even though I know there’s hope in
Every morning song
I have to find that melody alone
I have to find that melody alone
I have to find that melody alone
I have to find that melody alone
Only brilliant songwriters / poets that have lived life, with all of its ups and downs could write something this special. I am particularly moved by the imagery of this song. The use of the word "lets" in "lets me free" shows the union of a body and a soul that is deep to a level that impresses me. Most would say "sets me free" because they believe the soul is being held back, but the Avett Brothers understand the union of the two, and the fact that it is that union that makes us so special as humans.Having been to their concerts, it is almost impossible to leave the crowd and not feel better about humanity and love in general. Their spirit, their songs, their words, their actions, and their music spread love and joy to a level that is indescribable unless you see it for yourself.
If you dont like these guys then you dont have a soul! In a age where for the most part all the new music is crap these guys are head and shoulders above all the rest.
