The Avett Brothers: Shame

- Identify the subject and tone.
The subject is shame and the tone is a little bit sad but peaceful at the same time. It seems like the artist feels regretful but also hopeful.

- 3 words that push the tone and explain how they do that.
1. fade: it has a gentle and subtle connotation, but it also makes you feel a bit sad because it suggests that things are disappearing.
2. "my heart was always fairly cold posing to be as warm as yours": emphasizes the contrast of what people are and what they should be. It also adds to the singer's feeling of shame.
3. lift: shows the subject as a heavy burden or like a weight on him.
