Avett Brothers, The - Live And Die Lyrics






All it will take is
just one moment and
you can say goodbye to
how we had it planned

Fear like a habit,
run like a rabbit out and away.
Through the screen door
to the unknown.

And I want to love you and more.
I want to find you and more.
Where do you reside
When you hide? How can I find you?

'Cause I want to send you and more
I want to tempt you and more
can you tell that I am alive?
Let me prove it.

You and I, we're the same.
Live and die, we're the same.
Hear my voice, know my name,
you and I, we're the same.

Left like a pharaoh,
sing like a sparrow anyway.
Even if there is no land or
love in sight.

We bloom like roses,
leave like Moses out and away.
Through the bitter crowd
to the daylight.

And I want to love you and more.
I want to find you and more.
Can you tell that I am alive?
Let me prove it to ya.

You and I, we're the same.
Live and die, we're the same.
You rejoice, I complain,
but you and I, we're the same.
Live and die, we're the same.
You and I, we're the same.
Hear my voice, know my name,
you and I, we're the same.

And I want to love you and more.
I want to find you and more.
Where do you reside
When you hide? How can I find you?

'Cause I want to send you and more
I want to tempt you and more.
Can you tell that I am alive?
Let me prove it.

You and I, we're the same.
Live and die, we're the same.
You rejoice, I complain,
but you and I, we're the same.
Live and die, we're the same.
You and I, we're the same.
Hear my voice, know my name,
you and I, you and I.

Avett Brothers, The Live And Die Comments
  1. M.... G....

    I ❤ your videos😊

  2. R.... G....

    Not only does this sound beautiful, but I love that they are moving/dancing to the beat, makes it feel less like a music video and more like your just jamming with your buddy's.

  3. C.... R....

    Perfect Melody, great lyrics, awesome band.

  4. D.... S....

    These guys have been my favorite band for as long as I can remember and I have never heard a band better than the Avett Brothers! Every song they play is played perfectly every single time! You were awesome on February 28 and January 1 2019!

  5. B.... K....

    My old 4th grade teacher played this every day, we had lyrics and everything... And he played Aint no Man at the end of the day, and during the day he would have a full Pandora playlist with Avett Brothers songs... And now I listen to it everyday 😸😸

  6. N.... A....

    Anyone who hits the dislike button should be fined.

  7. R.... C....

    Became a fan in 2008 when I found that not all modern/new music sucked. Since then have inundated myself in their music. Have seen them 10x in concert in the last year. Live shows that blow away most people who love music anywhere within many genres - bluegrass, country, Americana, folk, folk rock...and the list goes on.

  8. K.... P....

    What a great song! It never fails to lift my spirits. God bless the Avett Brothers!!!

  9. T.... F....

    I saw this band live this last weekend in MN at Treasure Island Resort & Casino. I was shocked with how great they were. I liked some of their music before and I was excited...but they were even better than I anticipated. They have so much diversity in their style and talent. They sing with so much emotion and perform with so much energy. What a great show and what a great band!

  10. r.... ....

    How does one run like a rabbit? All this time I thought they hopped

  11. D.... C....

    Yo fui Johnny Thunders, de Carlos Zanón.

  12. T.... D....

    My favorite Avett song ❤️❤️

  13. L.... G....

    Thanks for the joy lads! Beautiful smiles too!

  14. w.... ....

    mighty comfortable here....zzzZZZ

  15. S.... L....

    Com certeza minha banda favorita de todos os tempos (๑♡⌓♡๑)

  16. U.... A....

    2019 July anyone.?

  17. M.... ....

    Thank YouTube I find that band, GREAT! <3

  19. E.... M....

    Today, with them, I have fallen into a new love.
    Thank you artists.
    Thank you fans.
    Keep it up..

  20. A.... D....

    I honestly don't understand why people think the Avett Brothers is such a great band.  The singers voices are flat and the instrument playing is mediocre.  I've heard better bands at bluegrass and folk festival who don't have the corporate backing of these guys.  Pathetic how many are snookered into wasting their money and having their hearing assaulted because some yahoo at Rolling Stone in tone deaf.

  21. Y.... s....

    Or the last year of your longer sentences

  22. Y.... s....

    I think if u can vote in jail its only for short timers or non serious crimes

  23. P.... K....

    This song makes me cry...💞

  24. Y.... s....

    We're supposed to think dont eat pork for Moses. And we think cheese and beef for Jesus. Kosher ppl. Golden calf is a baby cow.

  25. r.... c....

    Some people are happy just living.

  26. L.... A....

    I discovered this band because I am a big fan of Jennifer Carpenter. OMG! Love!!

  27. k.... s....

    They are so Underappreciated!!!!!!

  28. H.... C....

    I'll have what they're having.

  29. H.... A....

    Lovely song! Somehow has similar theme to "Island In The Sun" by Weezer (Spike Jonze Version)

  30. B.... ....

    Love 😍

  31. r.... h....

    Great song, one of your better ones I believe, and for a song that is a serious compliment.

  32. L.... ....

  39. P.... G....

    Joe Kwon, I wish you were my best friend! I KNOW you would like me, if you met me. You're so sweet and I'm kinda cool :)

  40. M.... G....

    This style of music is not really my cup of tea, but these guys clearly are great musicians who have something thoughtful to say with their music.

  41. R.... T....

    Does anybody known the place where it was made?

  42. B.... H....

    Love the song, great banjo solo!

  43. M.... D....

    Listening to this wonderful song never fails to put me in a good mood. <3

  44. C.... K....

    My daughter was dancing to these guys before she could walk, she would hold the sofa edge and shimmy. I was pleased and honored to take her last week to see them put on one hell of a set.

  45. k.... ....

    They are so underrated

  46. A.... S....

    Where the heck are great guys like this? hmmm? I'm Alive!...I'll "Prove it to Him!!"... ; )'... ; )'

  47. N.... N....

    Mumford and Sons reminds me of them because of the Banjo

  49. D.... C....

    I want an American Flag for my ceiling..............USA! USA!

  54. g.... ....

    That instrumental passage from 2:45-3:20, tho...can I just live there? haha

  55. L.... K....

    These boys are great and a refreshing change from the superficial pop music so prevalent these days. They've got talent, enthusiasm, and something worth saying.

  56. G.... O....

    No tengo idea como llegué aquí pero la canción me encantó

  57. H.... b....

    Why did i just read this book now? I wish i had knew those men before! Thank you slammed 🙌❤

  59. g.... ....

  60. M.... F....

    Que música ✅💙

  61. O.... R....

    This song... is perfect

  62. M.... S....

    Slammed❤

  63. L.... S....

    Call me crazy but this song sounds a little like the beetles. Wonder if they were one of their influences?

    L.... S....

    yes, very obvious, geo h.

  64. E.... G....

    right now I'm watching portrait of the avett brothers they are a great writers I really liked his story Right now I met them, I really liked what they do.

  65. J.... L....

    music the way it ought to be..

  66. K.... D....

    When I heard benjo at the beginning, I was feeling like Lake, when she was in car with Will. At once I understood, what is Colleen Hoover talking about in Slammed. That life and death are inseperable. That living means dying, but there's always happiness in life. I cried like a little girl. I swear, I'll never be the same again after reading Slammed and listening to Avett brothers.

  67. B.... K....

    This is 40 and its excellent soundtrack brought me here three years (and six TAB shows) ago. Your music raised me from the dead! <3

  68. B.... ....

    Am I the only kid who got here without adults, parents, slammed, or anyone else in general?

    B.... ....

    TheEpicPokemonLover, i saw their documentary yesterday and was hooked on their music

  69. M.... N....

    verdaderamente me gustan :D

  70. i.... ....

    Several years ago my boyfriend saw The Avett Brothers at Firefly. He innocently came to me and said, "You MUST hear this band." And showed me this video. Me, who adores the banjo, this type of music, and men who look like this.
    Clearly, he was not thinking ahead. My obsession cannot be stopped. He created a monster.

    i.... ....

    SAME! :) But it was my daughter.

    i.... ....

    Me too, but it was my husband probably 10-11 years ago. I am so obsessed with them too! I am 62 years old and think they are so cute!!

    i.... ....

    This is exactly what happened to me. He just didn't think it through hahaha. <3

  71. T.... C....

    I can't stop hearing this song

  72. P.... G....

    Joe , please marry me :)

  73. s.... ....

    Please get another producer who doesn't use vocal pitch correction. There should be none of that in folk music.

    s.... ....

    Whatever makes a song sound great is fair game, genre be damned.

  74. J.... F....

    The auto tune and cutting on their voices is obnoxious. Classic marketing strategy. The avetts are not ed sheeran or josh groban. Super annoying recording.

  75. r.... ....

    i am being selfish...i don't want them any "bigger"...if everyone finds out about them i'll never be able to see them live again. the worst concert i have ever been to was Mumford and Sons- tried to enjoy them at a small venue in Wisco- young hipsters who were rude-stupidly drunk-just an all around horrible experience. We were blessed with the Avett Brothers at Red Rocks this summer....cannot put into words how amazing it was. Their music pierced my soul, i still cry thinking about it. Peace people!

    r.... ....

    Red Rocks is my all-time favorite venue; SO beautiful.

    r.... ....

    Oh ! I dream of seeing and hearing them at Red Rocks !

    r.... ....

    They wont get really really big because the focus on the art and producing really really good music instead of producing "marketable" swill just to make money. Not in it to get rich....in it to be and become great artists and produce great music..

    r.... ....

    Red rocks is an awesome venue

  76. J.... ....

    I love this song

  77. T.... F....

    If you stood through the whole show in front of someone who couldn't, you're an a******

  78. R.... A....

    Beautiful 💗

  79. b.... ....

    No matter how often I play this song it's like hearing it for the very first time. Very very few songs uplift me like this one does. Wonderful.
    PS Jacob the drummer is the spitting image of my son, Matt - also a drummer. Another reason to love this song!

  80. I.... H....

    I remember i would get ready for school and i heard this song like a week straight

  81. H.... E....

    I met this group for the Colleen Hoover book's Slammed <3

  82. P.... T....

    This is when Hansen became even gayer

  83. K.... H....

    Pure simple good music. No back up dancers need apply.

  84. B.... S....

    perdida nas merdas da Lake

  85. s.... c....

    sound great must be irish???

  86. R.... M....

    Seth, I just adore you!

  87. N.... 1....

    The Secret of Ella and Micha:)

  88. s.... c....

    lovely song is this a irish band???

    s.... c....

    No, they're from North Carolina, USA.

  89. P.... L....

    They are great people and deserve so much more than most of the bands out there for they have real talent. When I was 9, just a few months after my dad died I got to go backstage and meet them. They asked what my favorite song of theirs was and I said "the song that you say rabbit in." (Live and Die) and they actually changed a song they were going to play at the concert so they could sing "Live and Die" at the concert. After I left backstage to watch the concert, they dedicated the song to me. I will forever remember and I love these guys so much!!

    P.... L....

    weird flex but okay

    P.... L....

    that's such a beautiful story!

    P.... L....

    And now I get to listen to the song especially looking for the word "rabbit," which I'd never noticed before <3

    P.... L....

    Mangesh Mane l

    P.... L....

    I think that is was sweet of them to play your favorite song to cheer you up.

  90. J.... L....

    Ok. I tried.. These suck ass.... terrible

    J.... L....

    thanks for your pointless opinion. Try more than one song before forming that opinion next time. You could be missing out on something great

    J.... L....

    BanjoBandit lol. Butthurt lil bitch... I did dummy. They all suck!

    J.... L....

    then just go away.

  91. J.... M....

    Amazing song. One of the worst videos I've ever seen.

  92. S.... B....

    watering cactuses like a dumbass

  93. e.... s....

    I remember going to their concert in Baltimore a few years back and I had to listen to this song while throwing up in the bathroom lmao

  94. R.... D....

    2:03 Boylan Ginger Ale!!

  95. P.... W....

    so who's playing banjo left handed at 0:13? A video mistake?

  96. M.... ....

    Thanks for sharing Forsyth saturday marning cartoons

  97. A.... S....

    Best Avett brothers song ,I can bet..

    A.... S....
