Right now, my brain is on the verge of exploding. There are so many thoughts to share that I don't even know where to start......
How about we start with The Avett Brothers...yes, that will be lovely.
So, my darling Father, surprised the fam by getting us tickets to see one of my favorite, favorite, bands- you guessed it- The Avett Brothers. This was the third time I've seen them live, and let me tell you, the true mark of an amazing band is that you find it hard to listen to their studio work because the live stuff is just too incredible to be described by words. Scott, Seth, Bob, and Joe put on one hell of a show. I have chills just thinking about the glory of it all- they killed it. They are true artists. Their melodies and lyrics hit you like a ton of bricks because of the honesty behind them. You feel like they are singing to you and about you and around you, and your heart aches because every song feels like it belongs to you, wrapped up in sparkly paper and tied with a bow, with love from The Avett Brothers.
Another thing that made this night magic- Family time. I count myself as one of the lucky ones- one of the few who can stand up and say without a doubt, that I have one of the most incredible family units ever. We are strong, and steady, and there when everything else is gone. We're not perfect by any means, but we are intrepid- we carry on through the bad, the good, and everything in between. It's hard to get together now that we are all grown ups- but being with them, this night, in Tallahassee, Florida- made the verse from "Murder in the City" which was performed acoustically to a completely silent crown, ring ever so true.
"Always remember there is nothing worth sharing like the love that lets us share our name"
p.s. Do me a favor on September 29, 2009- go pick up The Avett Brothers' new cd - I AND LOVE AND YOU. It will change you.
