The Avett Brothers - I And Love And You (Official Video)

I named my daughter Brooklynn after falling in love with this song, and subsequently this band. I've been singing this song to my Brooklynn since she was still in the womb. She's 3.5 now and begs to hear "her song" all the time. She even sings along to it now.

instead of “goodnight.” my mom and i would say “i’ll see you in the morning time.” i’ll never let that die.

My dad just passed after 25 year battle with Parkinson's. Hes from Brooklyn born and raised. I'm here bc right as I left the funeral home this came on the radio. I dont have words but thank you

This is my neighbor's favorite song, whether they like it or not.

I was going to get married to this song, but it didn't work out. I spent a lot of time resenting this song, and my resentment had nothing to do with the song itself. I introduced this song to my ex and we both, in our own way, fell in love with it. And even though we didn't work out, I think it's beautiful I was able to share something like this with someone. Sometimes, love doesn't work. There's too many obstacles, too many differences. That doesn't mean you stop trying, or that you give up. All it means is that, someone came along who meant a lot to you, and they left an impact on your life. And that should be cherished. And you should never give up on love.

Such an underated band

I was lucky enough to be in the crowd for the filming of this video, what an awesome day it was.

"The highway sets the travelers stage." their lyrics are poetry. The way music used to be. ❤

Idk what music genre youre into. You feel this. You absolutely feel this song.

This was my mom's favorite song, she died a few years ago but I still come back here every now and then for her. I just wish I listened to this with her more often. If you have someone you love, let them know. Never take your loved ones or the time you have with them for granted.

"That womans got eyes that shine" as he hugs his mom <3

I remember when my dad played this song for the first time. We were riding in his Jeep with the top down, and all I could think about was the beauty of the words and that is was a great driving song.

When I was little my mom used to listen to them while she painted, and she painted constantly. Some of my best memories are sitting and singing along with her, watching her brush move over the canvas. She hasn’t painted in years, and my god have I missed out. This has always been, and will always be, my favorite.

Who can listen to this song without getting at least a little teary eyed? Absolutely LOVE this song.

I and Love and You The Avett Brothers Load the car and write the note Grab your bag and grab your coat Tell the ones that need to know We are headed north One foot in and one foot back But it don't pay to live like that So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks For never to return Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in? My hands they shake, my head it spins Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in When at first I learned to speak I used all my words to fight With him and her and you and me Ah, but it's just a waste of time Yeah, it's such a waste of time That woman she's got eyes that shine Like a pair of stolen polished dimes She asked to dance, I said it's fine I'll see you in the morning time Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in? My hands they shake, my head it spins Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in Three words that became hard to say I and Love and You What you were then, I am today Look at the things I do Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in? My hands they shake, my head it spins Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in My hands they shake, my head it spins, (spins) Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in Dumbed-down and numbed by time and age Your dreams the catch, the world the cage The highway sets the travelers stage All exits look the same Three words that became hard to say I and Love and You I and Love and You I and Love and You

I know this is about traveling to Brooklyn. My boyfriend showed me this song a month into dating. My name is Brooklyn and hearing my name in a song made me fall so much more in love with him. We are still together today, and he still says this song is about me ♥️ it’s absolutely amazing how people can interpret a songs meaning.

Brilliant! Never knew about The Avett Brothers until I read the Colleen Hoover series of books. What a find.

"Tell the ones who need to know" lovingly boops a cat
