The Avett Brothers: "Shame."

   Sept/25/12

   The subject of the Avett Brothers' Shame is a heartbroken man, reminiscing in his actions, and the tone is regretful. The word regret brings an image of someone who wishes that they can rewind time and do something different to bring a better outcome. One line that brings this image is in the chorus, wherein the author says he has "Shame, boatloads of Shame" [line 13]. The word shame implies that his actions (perceived by himself and others) were wrong and he would change them given a second change. Boatloads is a hyperbole that shows that the author feels this shame and the regret is overwhelming. 

Sincerest Apologies.

In all honesty, the phrase "this blog is overdue" is an understatement. As of this post, I have a lot of catching up to do. For convenience on my part, I'll be uploading the posts I'm missing newest to oldest. Once I've got all of the old posts that I missed up, I'll see if I can change post order (if anyone has any idea how to do that, please, do tell!). If I can't, well, I'm sorry.

Enough apologies, let's post!
