This song epitomizes everything that is great about The Avett Brothers, and this particular live version even more so. You get a feel for their softer side at the beginning, and it builds into a foot-stompin' ruckus by the end. Scott throws in a witty aside between lines ("...disregard your father's word"..."...what does he know?"), and you get the mid-song instrument change after Scott breaks a string on his banjo. They have a guy whose sole purpose during shows is to re-string guitars and banjos after they fail to withstand the frenetic strumming of the brothers. The unbridled passion is evident in every show, in every song.
This one seems to be about young love...
Hit Grooveshark for the album version: Laundry Room
"Last night i dreamt the whole night long, woke with a head full of songs; i spent the whole day, i wrote em down but its a shame; tonight i'll burn the lyrics, 'cause every chorus was your name..."
