The Avett Brothers - No Hard Feelings (Official Video)

My Dad died tonight. I played this for him a couple times this past week while we said our long goodbyes. Goodbye Dad, I'll miss you until we meet again. I love you.

I’m a 47 year old man, the husband of one woman and the father of one daughter. I’m a veteran. I’ve buried three sisters, two brothers, my father, and my mother. I admit, most of my thoughts are unfriendly, like swimming in a cave, without light or air, and each stroke takes more away. I try to see what beauty is available each day and it’s talent like this that makes a lot of it all better. Keep writing and singing such beautiful things.

A little over 4 years ago my 23 year old son took himself out of this world forever. Even with a deep and abiding faith in God, my wound remains incurable, my heart shattered. On the second anniversary of his death I came across this song. I heard my son talking to me. I couldn't begin to explain the depth of the song's meaning for my particular sorrow, but I would love for the Avett Brothers to know that this piece of music, far greater than the sum of its parts,, has soothed a mother's broken spirit in ways they could never have imagined. I have thanked God so often for its personal message to me, and now I am pleased to be able to thank the ones through whom the message came.

This song helped me to surrender my soul to Jesus and quit using IV meth. I run a recovery house now and I have 10 months clean and sober. Thank you avett brothers. Truly.

My wife for 43 years died 3 years ago on February 8th 2021 of COVID. She wanted this song sung at her funeral. My cousin and her husband sang this song for her. This song means a lot to me.

I'm a trauma ICU nurse. I like to listen to this after especially hard shifts; sometimes we loose multiple patients in one day. I imagine them at peace at the end.. My small little way of saying good bye.

We played this song at my daughters funeral, she was 19 years old and this song described her so very much. She loved everyone and everyone loved and adored her. I miss you my sweet baby

I’m a 13 year old boy and my grandpa pasted away the same time this was written and I always regretted not spending more time with him. This song helped me to forgive myself. Thank you

I've come to believe this could be one of the most beautiful songs ever written

My father passed away in 2020. This song makes me realize at the end that he was ready. It is finished. He is free from pain and suffering. I miss him terribly 😔 💔

Reading these comments is almost as healing as listening to the song. I cry every time, my heart swells with love and forgiveness. A few months ago my father died in my hometown- Raleigh NC. Then I heard this song , it was a gift. It perfectly articulates his journey. He was angry, ill, and extremely difficult to be around to our entire family, but all is forgiven now. No enemies, no enemies, no enemies. Thank you for this gift ❤️

Was driving last night wondering what the point of life is and contemplating wtf death is and why we exist. Then this song came on . I’m shook by it’s profoundness

I heard this song for the first time today in my car. I didn't know until just now that I had heard it from the first line. My husband passed from cancer 3 years ago in his early 40s and he wanted to live so badly, and tried so hard to beat it. He wasn't ready and was scared. Yet in his last 36 hours, despite his tumor-ravaged brain, he forgave people and let go. It was humbling to listen to him. I guessed this was the Avett Bros, whose first song I ever heard was "I and Love and You", which we both liked as it was on the radio a lot when we'd drive the several hours to a faraway city for his doctors' appointments, now 4 very long years ago. I miss him so very much. This song.

Found out I have 2 tumors in my lungs, found this song in all the fear and unknowns, the intense shattering weakness that came along with it all; brings a teary smile to my face when I listen. I feel peace.

When my wife left me for another man last year, this song helped me get through it. To me it’s a complete song of forgiveness. I haven’t forgotten, but I’ve forgiven her, and even him. This song helped me decide to not put a bullet in my head in the end. Just keep going.

My husband died today at 60 years old and we played this beautiful song. It is so true and soulful. There is so much peace in these words, please never stop writing the songs you sing. So many of us need comforting words.

My background is in R&B. I swore I'd join Boyz II Men if given a chance. My alternative friends dragged me to the Mint Museum in Charlotte in maybe 03' or 04'. I was one of maybe 3 black folks there and stood out in my hip hop attire. I didn't expect much. Then I heard these guys play and sing for the first time. It was amazing! I've since then become a man, married a sweet lady and raised 2 wonderful kids. I'm so glad to see that awesome band is still together making beautiful songs.

Never before I had heard this song, today it appeared on a playlist, and not knowing why I started playing it on repeat, so I stopped to listen to it, to see what was going on.... all hardness in my heart melted and I cried, and then came here, looking for somebody that maybe had felt the same... I found another 2,199 persons on the planet that had experienced just that. Thank you for channeling this beautiful prayer.

I lost so,so much last spring (spring of 2022) that I won’t get into specifics, but I’m a musician and usually when I’m depressed I can play and sing, but last spring I was so down that I couldn’t, and that’s when I knew I was in trouble. The Avett Brothers, John Moreland, Blaze Foley and Jason Isbell have helped me immensely with their beautiful, honest songs from their hearts. Thank you all. And to all the folks leaving comments here- thank you all too and you are not alone in your pain, or your joy. Peace, -Eric

In my 65 years of living, I believe this song has moved me more than any other. It is beautiful!
