mp3: “I and Love and You” – The Avett Brothers
I’ve had this song bookmarked for a long time, not knowing if I really wanted to share it.  I heard it on the radio the other day and it hit me differently than it had before. I finally felt it.

Previously Posted Mix

Since starting this blog, I have tried really hard not to repeat songs unless it makes sense in the context of the post. Recently I spent some time visiting my old posts and listening to the music that I’ve posted, I realized that I really love, and miss, some of those songs (which is why I posted them in the first place!). So I decided that I would like to revisit some previously posted songs from time to time.

Like today.

If It’s the Beaches

If It’s The Beaches

I am in a FAFSA fog today. So, I thought that I would just post this wonderful song by The Avett Brothers:

Don’t say it’s over
Cause that’s the worst news I could hear I swear that I will
Do my best to be here just the way you like it
Even though its hard to hide
Push my feelings all aside
I will rearrange my plans and change for you

If I could go back
That’s the first thing I would do I swear that I would
Do my best to follow through
Come up with a master plan
A home run hit, a winning stand
A guarantee and not a promise
That I’d never let your love slip from my hands

If it’s the beaches
If it’s the beaches’ sands you want
Then you will have them
If it’s the mountains’ bending rivers
Then you will have them
If it’s the wish to run away
Then I will grant it
Take whatever what you think of
While I go gas up the truck
Pack the old love letters up
We will read them when we forget why we left here

“If It’s The Beaches” – The Avett Brothers

Hmm, second chances…we don’t always get them.
