Go to Sleep Lyrics
Seth's part of this song is so amazing. I know exactly how he feels and what he is talking about. He is talking about the music industry and how the Avetts are gonna have to start trying to be more mainstream. Not selling out..but just getting big. Columbia said they arn't going to mess with the art of the Avett's but i'm sure they might have an input. Either way I don't see how the Avett's could write a song I don't like so whatever is good with me. Seth sees it and is like "damn, if we wanna play music for the rest of our lives and do what we truly love we gotta do this" got to pay the bills somehow.
"I hope the people in the crowd will understand" Best line of the song. Saying "I hope the people who know us before we get huge will be ok with us being the best band in the world"
I say keep it up Avetts, they have nowhere to go but up.
who is the guy singing with them?? ....he has a more raspy voice than the Avetts. I can't find anything when searching the internet about it

I always thought it was "I just wanna walk home unaccompanied' also "Well I wish things were different, true indeed, But everything that's so shallow is everything about me, you know they told me I could just take my money and leave"
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man Wipe the blood from you face and your hands Forgive yourself if you think you can Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
Twenty-one days lost at sea I fought For twenty-two years non-stop I've talked Through the desert, piss-drunk, and confused I walked I spit a tooth in the palm of my hand
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man Wipe the blood from you face and your hands Forgive yourself if you think you can Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
Well the wind and the trees are ganging up on me They sing my funeral song in harmony Well I just want to walk home unaccompanied They keep singing and singing and singing to me... La, La, La, La, La, La (I hear them singing) La, La, La, La, La, La (Singing for me) La, La, La, La, La, La (Oh!)
Well I wish things were different, true, and deep But everything that's so shallow is everything about me They told me I could just take my money and leave I hope the people on the ground will understand I hope the people in the crowd will understand
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man Wipe the blood from you face and your hands Forgive yourself if you think that you can Go to sleep, go to sleep my man La, La Go to sleep, go to sleep my man La, La Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
