The Love That Let Us Share Our Name


There aren't words to describe the love I have for my magical family.  Us five are so uniquely close words could never live up to it.  The Avett Brother's describe it perfectly.  I heard this song in person, live, at The Gallivan Center.  I had never heard of the Avett Brothers prior to that day, and they impacted me immensely with this song.  I just happened to be downtown that day so I went to the gallivan center because I love it there.  At first I was all bummed out because there was a HUGE crowd.  I hung out any ways and I noticed how many hippies were there, it made me kind of happy.... then this song came on and I just started crying.  I am a huge fan of theirs now, and I think its no coincidence that I stumbled across them in person at one of my top favorite places on this planet. <3


If I get murdered in the city
Don’t go revengin' in my name
One person dead from such is plenty
No need to go get locked away

When I leave your arms
The things that I think of
No need to get over alarmed
I’m comin' home

I wonder which brother is better
Which one our parents love the most
I sure did get in lots of trouble
They seemed to let the other go

A tear fell from my father’s eyes
I wondered what my dad would say
He said I love you
And I’m proud of you both, in so many different ways

If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don’t worry with all my belongings
But pay attention to the list

Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember, there is nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
Always remember, there is nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
