This song is about the seven deadly sins. (1) the cop-gluttony, (2) Brandy-Envy (Maria seems to have everything), (3) John-Sloth, (4) John-lust, (5) the manager-wrath, (6) John’s BF-greed, and (7) Maria-vanity.
What is interesting is Bell and Roy how they intertwine in the story but seem to be the only innocent ones in it. Wondering how they are significant in this role. I know they are but can’t put my finger on it. Maybe because they sit quietly as the mess around them unfolds, and that represents the greatness in being quiet. Everyone else is after something for their own selfish needs, while this old couple is just being with each other and enjoying life. Another beautiful, deeper song by the Avett Brothers which is why I love them so much.
