“I and Love and you” from the album I and Love and You, released in 2009
Sometimes you just need to listen to a sad song. I don’t know why. I’m no psychologist. I do know that the The Avett Brothers are pretty solid on giving us sad songs.
“I and Love and You” is one of the saddest. Why is it hard to tell your loved ones that you love them? It is so easy to feel, even when we don’t want to feel it. To say it though? Sometimes… it’s almost impossible.
We’re complex creatures. Our existence is bitter sweet. Everything is both simultaneously right and wrong. In five minutes, The Avett Brothers offer us these tragic truths served on a melodious platter.
