…about how the Avett Brothers’ Emotionalism is currently my favorite album.    The most oft-played song of the album at the moment is “I Would Be Sad.”  This is the verse that absolutely kills me —

“I meant what I said when I said I would rearrange my plans and change for you.

You know me, I’ve always been the kind with easy confidence, confident enough to honestly believe that nothing out there’s stopping me, especially not someone who’s not loving me. Now listen here, I told you I could live on without loving you.

I was bluffing then, but it seems that just might have been the truth.

Well, my dad told me one day, son, this girl will think of what she’s done and  hurting you will be the first of many more regrets to come.

And he said if she doesn’t call, then it’s her fault, and it’s her loss.  I say it’s not that simple, see, but then again, it just may be.”

LOVE.
