Cover art for Another Is Waiting lyrics by Avett Brothers, The

When I saw the video, I thought I knew what they were saying. That this "rose, queen" of a woman was concerned with superficial beauty and she was going down a path to destruction. Yeah, I can see that. But then there's that line they keep repeating in the chorus, "Another is waiting, she isn't saying anything" and whenever you see that in a song, it holds importance.

Okay, and I just kept singing it in my head but wondering what the heck that could mean. The above interpretation and what they want you to perceive in the video just seemed a little conceived and trite for how deep and poetic the Avett's writings really were. I don't think that it's just another wannabe celebrity in the waiting room their talking about. Then I found out about the affair and it makes so much more sense! Jennifer Carpenter was silent for the longest time about her and Seth's affair even though she was wrecking his home unbeknownst to the public and their closest friends.

What if for a change people in the music business were able to be strong and value their marriages? I guess Scott did, good for him.
