Thanks alot man, sounds really good to me!
No youtube video for song...bummer.
i think there is youtube vid, but its audio only. im not sure if it is still up or not.
I hear....anywhere close to here....
I love this song. I'm confounded by their ability to keep writing great songs.

I'm no angel, I'm close with my sin
But I've made the worst mistake and I've made it again
And I promised myself I'd stop
That I would change, but clearly I'm not
it maybe stirred, i'll have to hear it again to confirm, but that might be awhile since im broke.

ninety and risen, soon we'll have to hide out in the shade. somewhere its raining and babe i can almost hear you say, that you love me
They sang this in Grand Rapids two nights ago but prefaced it by calling it an untitled song. I guess that means it's not on the new album.
Yes, that's correct. It's definitely new material they've come up with since their studio sessions.
Didn't you see the tracklist posting from a couple weeks ago? Here it is again, in case you missed it:

Yes, but it could've been one of the songs on the list under a different name. We don't know all the songs on the new album. My point is now we know it isn't since Seth said it is an untitled song.
if there is a youtube vid, audio or video, i would like to check it out! i am excited to hear a brand brand new song, post I&L&U
dannis27, check out the Tiny Desk Concert in the Avett discussion thread. There is a video of a three song set they did which includes Down With The Shine, posted by NPR.

Things change and get strange with the movement of time.
It's happening right now to you.
Thanks for putting this one out gibson. I can't stop listening to this song on the NPR podcast. Too bad it's not going to be on the new album. I just thought I'd offer a couple of suggestions. For the bridge, try this:
Its a (D) real bad (D7) time to bring up the (G) truth
Though we (D) searched we (D7) found no fountain of (G) youth
Not in (B7) Spain, nowhere (Em) near, any(B7)where close to (C) here (D) (D7)
Also, most of the D's in the song appear (and sound) like Seth is playing a D7. Anyway, that's all. The rest of it sounds right on like you have it. Thanks!

I wanna live, and I want you to live happy and free
yeah, i think your bridge is right. thanks for pointing that out!

"a woman's heart runs on gasoline"
also try playing that B7 as a B7add9... Seth uses that chord A LOT. it sounds good too.
i love this song

Peace,
Worth
~~~Roll Tide!~~~
Yeah, you are right Worth. And actually I believe that's the chord I have been playing (pinky on the high E string, right? I had the name wrong though). But thanks for the correction....They actually had a perfect shot of Seth's hand playing the chords at the beginning of the bridge on that NPR podcast, but then panned up for an extreme close up of his face during the rest, so it was hard to be sure. I personally would have liked the camera to stay on his hands to see the exact chords, but I guess the women aren't complaining about that. Haha.

I wanna live, and I want you to live happy and free
That's the one!... yeah Seth's got a pretty face, I guess it'll have to do...

Performance of Down With The Shine from September at the Bing Lounge.
"In addition to the concert, The Avett Brothers spent a good portion of their time in Portland with the Terra Nova students; the teens watched the band perform an unplugged set that afternoon in Kink’s Bing Lounge and then cooked the band dinner with food they’d grown themselves."

I think someone mentioned it before, but there's an awesome version of this song on NPR.org in the Tiny Desk Concert series. Just search Avett Brothers on NPR.org and you'll find it. They also play Laundry Room and Bella Donna.
Is this song in 3/4 time (waltz time)? It doesn't sound like 4/4 time to me.
I heard this song for the first time last night in Nashville. One of my new favorites for sure!
SirTalkMuch --
Yes, DWTS is in 3/4 time.

Thanks! Trying to work around my broken 3rd string lately (keep forgetting to get a new one!), but it sounds pretty good.
