    I have listened to this song hundreds of times and each time I think of my perfect husband who died tragically five years ago. He had no enemies and everything about this song reminds me of him. My husband and i saw the Avett brothers before they wrote this song and loved them so much. I saw them again this summer in Oregon and they ended with this song and it was so powerful and perfect and touching beyond belief.

    . Last year I lost my husband. I just heard this song for the first time recently. I can’t stop playing it. I know my husband left this world with no hard feelings and no enemies. And that makes me so happy. On the other hand the song reminded me that I do have hard feelings about some people in my life and it’s time to face them, release them so that I too will be ready. I can’t thank these brothers enough for opening my eyes to the joy I know my guy is enjoying and also starting me on my own journey.

    My Papaw was a talker, straight outta Jawja (rural Georgia) and for as long as I can remember no matter what the subject was, our conversations on his back porch always turned to mortality and The End. He did not fear it. He did not speak of it as a thing he knew would “happen” to him. He spoke of Death as a relationship he’d held dearly for a very long time and would one day have to face with honesty and acceptance….and no hard feelings. He found beauty in his surroundings - in the rain, in the birds chirping, and in the difficult times he’d survived… and he made sure to describe that beauty to anyone who would listen. Every single day I am so grateful I listened. He passed away during the pandemic when I was 38 years old, and although I feel like I die a thousand deaths in my heart when hearing this song, it encapsulates every word he ever said to me about that beauty and peace he knew, expected, and accepted. I am so grateful for this.

      It gets easier brother. I lost my best friend/brother 12.5.19. He decided life was too heavy and couldn’t bare it anymore… It’ll be 4 years this year but every year it gets easier. You’ll have moments where you want to call him up to share things that are happening in life and that’s a normal part of the healing process. I’ve found reminiscing about the good times with him and honestly just talking to him randomly helps a ton. Hope you’re finding resolve. All the best.

I want this played at my funeral, if I have one. That's why I bought the cd as soon as I watched their movie. It was awesome. Remember when u were a teenager and u would play a song u loved over and over? Well I could listen to this song many many times so thank you The Avett Brothers. I love a talented musical family.

I think of my 85 year old mother, the burdens she has carried that I don't even know of, and the thought of waking up one morning to the realization of not having her anymore. So I weep.

    As sit here in the middle east I can't help remember hearing The Avett Brothers for the first time in 2006 when I was 13. The song was "Talk of Indolence" It was even on Myspace. Ever since that day, their music has been a huge part of my life. Their songs have always been a light to guide me through life, from my first love, losing some of my best friends to cancer and a car wreck, heartbreak, forgiveness, regret, loving my family and being a better person. I'm so thankful for their music. I can truly say their music made my life better.

The Brothers r lyrically, musically, and spiritually so intuned with one another, I truly want to thank them for sharing their art with the world. It is a honor to listen to it, as I think, music can be as close a human can get to perfection on earth. What it can do to others is so godlike. Truly, Thank you so much.....

    Just saw May It Last for the first time late last Wednesday night, two years after it came out. By the time Seth got to the line "when my feet won't walk another mile", my throat was tight. By the end I was full-on weeping. Seeing the emotion on Seth's face as he stood, him trying to accept Rubin's excitement, my first thought was, "Man, give him a second to breathe through this!" Then Scott's comment about the "mining of a soul" was the most powerful, true thing. I felt Scott's frustration, understanding at the same time Seth's acceptance that the spirit of their music has to be separate from the commercialism, but how in that emotionally drained moment, they themselves couldn't immediately switch from one to the other. If they could, it wouldn't hold such Truth for all of us. Because it DOES hold Truth. It's clear from the comments here that my reaction was not unique. This touches people. This means something to us, as much as it does to them. And that has nothing to do with how many records are sold or which radio stations play this song.
    Only saw this film because a friend who has HBO was out of town, and I was feeding her cat. My a/c isn't working, and it was HOT that evening, so I sat at her house for a few hours, soaking up the coolness, watching TV. Happened on this scrolling through HBO's documentaries, since it never occurred to me that it would still be available on demand. Apatow did an incredible job showing who they are as human beings, not just as artists/musicians. But this scene knocked me out. I came home as soon as the show ended and shared this song on fb, saying that I wanted this to be the first song played at my funeral (followed by Amazing Grace, then ending with Murder In the City, which is also wonderful and never fails to give a smile).
    On Sunday, I was told it was time to go see my uncle, who has suffered from a lung disease for 2 years. Hadn't seen him in 9 months, because we were protecting him from Covid. But he'd stopped eating, so it wouldn't be long. I had been listening to this song on youtube and amazon for 4 days, and now it took on a weight that was far more immediate. Got to see my uncle on Tuesday, and considered sharing this with my aunt, but there were too many people around and it was too personal to do that in a crowd. Listened to this multiple times Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Got the message that he died Wednesday afternoon, a week after hearing No Hard Feelings for the first time.
    It's been a painful, heartbreaking few days. But although I couldn't know it at the time, this song is like a gift that was given to me right when I was going to need it.
    I am grateful.

As my girlfriend and I were soaking it in I noticed a man near the front rails, clearly moved to tears by this song and your performance and being embraced by his friends gently, lovingly and compassionately. He was clearly in pain and the catharsis the music was having on him was tangible from 50 yards away. And then I lost it myself. I cried too. In gratitude. In empathy And in total surrender to the power of what real meaningful music can do. Thank you to each of you in this amazing band. Your music means a lot to many of us.

      It's said that when the last person who remembers you has died it's like you you never existed.immortality doesn't exist- but that isn't true, music like this is essential for the soul,it can lift you up,inspire,enrage,break your heart and/or help piece it back together again.more than once when I've been feeling low,I will listen to Jerry Garcia sing to me"when you hear my voice, come through the music,will you hold it near,as it were your own?" And his voice can sooth me, even though he's been gone from this world 25 years(!) He is still here, what he left behind is a gift and I can't imagine a world where no one has heard a dead song,or the avett brothers,Stevie wonder TTB, Neil Young, and so on.xoxo

    When my body won't hold me anymore
    And it finally lets me free
    Will I be ready?
    When my feet won't walk another mile?
    And my lips give their last kiss goodbye?
    Will my hands be steady when I lay down my fears, my hopes, and my doubts?
    The rings on my fingers, and the keys to my house
    With no hard feelings?
    When the sun hangs low in the west
    And the light in my chest won't be kept held at bay any longer
    When the jealousy fades away
    And it's ash and dust for cash and lust
    And it's just hallelujah
    And love in thoughts and love in the words
    Love in the songs they sing in the church
    And no hard feelings
    Lord knows they haven't done much good for anyone
    Kept me afraid and cold
    With so much to have and hold
    Mmm, hmm
    When my body won't hold me anymore
    And it finally lets me free
    Where will I go?
    Will the trade winds take me south through Georgia grain?
    Or tropical rain?
    Or snow from the heavens?
    Will I join with the ocean blue?
    Or run into a savior true?
    And shake hands laughing
    And walk through the night, straight to the light
    Holding the love I've known in my life
    And no hard feelings
    Lord knows they haven't done much good for anyone
    Kept me afraid and cold
    With so much to have and hold
    Under the curving sky
    I'm finally learning why
    It matters for me and you
    To say it and mean it too
    For life and it's loveliness
    And all of its ugliness
    Good as it's been to me
    I have no enemies
    I have no enemies
    I have no enemies
    I have no enemies
