I am 62 years old - an artist and musician who grew up in the hippie era.. I had just about given up on ever being excited about music again when a friend of my son's turned me on to the Avett Brothers. Their music touches my soul....this song is a prayer. and I concur....amen.
Hey brother, check out Western AF channel. Tons of great artists on there. There is a lot of great music out there but it's not on any mainstream channels.
I cannot even count how many times this song -- abd specifically *this* recording of it -- has assisted me in "keeping my wits about myself, disregarding directions sent from Hell" ... No, this isn't just music to me, it is life ...
Love this Avett Bros, brings me back to good old folk music or just great music the Cat Stevens, Joan Beaz, ect.., sang in the 70's! Best era ever baby;)
These men strum my heart strings so gently, producing quiet, yet completely heard, serene, yet passionately beautiful melodies in my soul of which i can happily live my life to. Thank you Avett brothers
Never stop, you guys are a gift. I truly believe you guys are something people haven't seen in a long time. True musicians that make wonderful works of art that touch me every time I hear a song. Thank you!!
It's been a long time since the last time I watched this video. I miss this side of the Avett Brothers. Straightforward playing and melodies, stripped, and from the heart.
Right ? Every time I even think about saying "This is my favorite Avett song ...," another pops into my head. It is like choosing a favorite child. Speaking of which, I love the video for Murder in the City when Scott sings "I wonder which brother is better/Which one our parents loved the most/I sure did get in lots of trouble/They seemed to let the other go/A tear fell from my father's eye/I wondered what my dad would say/He said, "I love you and I'm proud of you both,/In so many different ways"
I know you guys probably don’t have time to read everything that we all want to say to you…. But I’m writing this to anyone who may read this…. I have always asked that I have love for everyone even people who don’t like me…. The Lord has me working on His love for myself… because I have so much self hatred….. After looking up some of the words in this song…. I knew how to pray for myself… Thank you I really needed this…. Your songs mean so much and are helping me through what seems to be a dark time in my life…. Being alone so much is sometimes hard on a person who is very out going and has something to say…. to everyone because I do love. And don’t worry…. You guys…. Your music….. it will last….because it means something 🙏🏼
this brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing. This song brings me solace and grounds me whenever I feel lost in the world, and particularly in myself
Tiffany...I agree. There is no one like them. They are first in my heart and have replaced other musicians since I found them. Sincerity, honesty, humility, and love can all be felt in their most beautiful music and poetry. Even though now with a movie made of their music and life they stay humble and true to their roots. I couldn't love them more. They are one of a kind.
Oh wow! Being a huge Avett Brothers fan and guitar player of their tunes for several years, I'm pretty excited to hear how they changed the notes on the reoccurring slide riff here. I love that they still do these raw straight recordings after being big signed musicians. Whether it's more stripped down of newer songs that receive the fuller produced treatment with drums and other added instruments or rehashing older tunes like this here, they still exude the true heart of their talent.
Today this is my favorite Avett Bro. song. Another day it was The Perfect Space, another it will be Morning Song. I too am in my early 60s. I think children of the 70s love these guys because they are beatles grown up, they are doobie bro, they are eagles, James Taylor, springsteen and many others. They are somehow children of the 70s themselves. If this was the 70s they would be the most popular band in the world.
These brothers compliment each other so well. In every way. Even in Seth's little solo. Not overbearing, but not under spoken. They harmonize at the perfect points. I'd love to make music with someone I was this close to.
+Austin Paul While I've never had the talent for composing that they do, I've had the honor of playing and singing with people that I gel with that well. I miss it. It's medicine for the soul to express, but not often that I can say moreso to sit back and listen, like with these guys. My life would be emptier without them now!
I have watched this a number of times this week, and it just gets better. I know it's the wind in the trees, subtlety accompanying the boys in a way that reminds me of singing at camp, that just speaks to parts of my brain that need to be spoken to more. This is an excellent gift.
Just when I think I can't love the Avett Brothers more, they do stuff like this to further defend my belief that they are some of the most musically gifted, lyrically poetic, and just flat out REAL people. That is something special.
I have liked everything I've heard from these guys (10,000 words, I and love and you, Ballad of love and hate) but I never heard this until today. It's my new favorite song
So warm and lovely tune. You guys are an inspiration to me. I've been playing guitar for fifty years. I really love your music. Those Martin's ring out the truth
Great Song , In the Woods Jammin . You Two sound Great .Every thing Is so down to Earth ,I need that in My Life ...Keep up the Great Work..Your #1 Fan Chris . Hope to Meet Ya'll one day. God Bless ..
Nice Christmas gift today. What did we do about hearing good music before the era of UA-cam. It has opened a whole new world of music for me at least. Much better than radio ever did.
Every time I hear this song, I am blow away by their voices. I just get this heart-warming feeling and life is good... Until I try to sing it and find I just can't compare
Oh my goodness. This is so great. Love the intimacy. The grayscale and the shifting shadows under the canopy are beautiful as well. You are a fantastic photographer and you deserve more credit.
+Pam Raymond ... I have said of them since I first heard them that theirs is a common man's ministry of music and that "when they open their mouths, heaven falls out." I absolutely adore them like I have never any other. And I am a lifetime, big time audiophile.
+Deb Alexander ........amen to that . They are my no. 1, and I love all kinds of music. I never miss them when they play nearby and have traveled a couple of times to see them too. LOVE their music and their message
May you live to be a hundred and twenty at least, fit as fiddles both, and be able to sing to us the songs inside your beautiful souls ! Oh my God, you open your mouths and I swear, Heaven falls out !
Something so special going on with these guys. So grateful I have their music in my life. When Seth chimed in On vocals I had a full on eargasm. Mmm Avetts

@@asahall627 where is the channel? spotify? sirius?
@@hayleyb467 I watch it on UA-cam but I'm sure the artists on there are on Spotify.
"Kill the doubt that strangles my self worth. Paint the picture that I swear I heard." ~ Simply beautiful!
This will always be a favorite. The lyrics and harmony are gorgeous. The wind rustling through the trees makes this perfect.
Avett Brothers fan for 15yrs now. Love these guys. Wholesome god fearing fellows. 🇺🇸❤️

TheKody268....exactly how I feel.
It's been a long time since the last time I watched this video. I miss this side of the Avett Brothers. Straightforward playing and melodies, stripped, and from the heart.
Possibly the most beautiful song I've ever heard
It's all of them dude

The best folk duo of all time. Beautiful.
Probably my all time favorite from these brothers. Damn it's so good.
Jim Skitten + Its one of their best ones for sure.
Merry Christmas'to the Avett, Crawford and Kwon families. Thank you for your music and your joy!!!
Beautiful and sublime...
That is simply some of the finest picking there is. Beautiful music from beautiful people. Well done fellas.. peace.
truly, timeless and classic music. we are blessed to be alive and hear their music.
Thanks for the wonderful Christmas gift. Simply beautiful!
How angelic. I love how truly soulful they always are. This is music I wouldn't have been ashamed for my grandparents to hear.
The harmony, your voices, the nature sound... I can’t describe how much this video touched my heart. I’m in heaven now ❤️
I need to pay The Avett brothers to write a song about how their songs make me feel. I think they're the only ones who could put them into words.
I wish I could favorite this comment somehow.
only God could create such beautiful music in these guys. their voices so perfectly compliment eachother. thank you Lord for the Avett Brothers.
So mellow. love the wind in the background too
I know you guys probably don’t have time to read everything that we all want to say to you…. But I’m writing this to anyone who may read this….
I have always asked that I have love for everyone even people who don’t like me….
The Lord has me working on His love for myself… because I have so much self hatred…..
After looking up some of the words in this song….
I knew how to pray for myself… Thank you
I really needed this….
Your songs mean so much and are helping me through what seems to be a dark time in my life….
Being alone so much is sometimes hard on a person who is very out going and has something to say…. to everyone because I do love.
And don’t worry…. You guys…. Your music….. it will last….because it means something 🙏🏼
this brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing. This song brings me solace and grounds me whenever I feel lost in the world, and particularly in myself
The leaves....I love to close my eyes and listen to this song.
How have I missed this song? So glad I finally found it!
I love this video, it's so ethereal. There is no one like The Avetts..
Tiffany...I agree. There is no one like them. They are first in my heart and have replaced other musicians since I found them. Sincerity, honesty, humility, and love can all be felt in their most beautiful music and poetry. Even though now with a movie made of their music and life they stay humble and true to their roots.

I watch it every day!

it was in alaska
I could listen to this version all day long.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, in my opinion. This is a gem.
I want to thank youtube for recommending this beautiful song to me.
These brothers compliment each other so well. In every way. Even in Seth's little solo. Not overbearing, but not under spoken. They harmonize at the perfect points. I'd love to make music with someone I was this close to.
I see you on like every Avett Brothers post and you always make really good points man

Next Gen. Illusions you can only do it with a sibling. No one can harmonize like that otherwise. It's science and it's fascinating.
Shannon Hutcheson
got an article you read that in? I'm really intrigued about this
phil_osopher33 I originally heard if on NPR on a fresh air about Linda Ronstadt. You might can find it there also
OHHHH how I'd love to have these brothers sing to me in the woods! 💋 The harmony between them is glorious! LOVE! ❤ LOVE!
I have watched this a number of times this week, and it just gets better. I know it's the wind in the trees, subtlety accompanying the boys in a way that reminds me of singing at camp, that just speaks to parts of my brain that need to be spoken to more. This is an excellent gift.
ever have that feeling when ya know found the one thing that makes your soul at ease gr8 music guys
the final lyrics, the harmony. chills.
Julia Thiemonge , harming chills - YES!
@@Nestof4g these chills do no harm, silly goose ♡
in tears; every single time
Just when I think I can't love the Avett Brothers more, they do stuff like this to further defend my belief that they are some of the most musically gifted, lyrically poetic, and just flat out REAL people. That is something special.
My "go to sleep"- song almost every night.... on replay :)
I love the movement of the shadows and light. What a perfect setting for this song. Thank you for this. It's beautiful.
Thank you Avett Brothers. 💚💚💚💚💜
I'll see you guys in 5 days. Greensboro, NC here we come to bring in the New Year! I wish I could get my banjo head signed...
I can't love this enough.
I have liked everything I've heard from these guys (10,000 words, I and love and you, Ballad of love and hate) but I never heard this until today. It's my new favorite song
Amazing!! What a great Christmas gift! Thank you Scott and Seth!
this is precisely why i love the avett's so much. so perfect.

So warm and lovely tune. You guys are an inspiration to me. I've been playing guitar for fifty years. I really love your music. Those Martin's ring out the truth

Nice Christmas gift today. What did we do about hearing good music before the era of UA-cam. It has opened a whole new world of music for me at least. Much better than radio ever did.
This might be the greatest made for youtube video ever...I can't stop watching.
It makes me so calm
There are just certain times when you need a certain song. This is the time and song for me.
I never get tired of you guys! See you in Austin soon!
Just too good. What can you even say about this? Perfect.
"my heart is broke but you wont see me cry"
i'm crying now
I love you both.
Thank God. This song has been in my head all day.
Even the wind is harmonious...those boys are magical.
It is amazing how the studio and non-studio versions are so good
Wow...that's special. I hope these guys come to East coast Canada again!
I am so in love with them.
Cette chanson folk est... envoutante... Une très belle réussite. Merci !
From Berlin we send you 1 million THANX for this wonderful song and clip. Please never stop singing and playing! BEATKIDS, Berlin, Germany
they get tighter and tighter as musicians, SO GOOD.
Every time I hear this song, I am blow away by their voices. I just get this heart-warming feeling and life is good... Until I try to sing it and find I just can't compare
I miss you babe.... I’ll always love you.
Love ♡♡♡♡
Oh my goodness. This is so great. Love the intimacy. The grayscale and the shifting shadows under the canopy are beautiful as well. You are a fantastic photographer and you deserve more credit.
The entire albumn is beautiful soulful piece art.
I swear Seth is seeing angels in this one
They are certainly close to god.

It's so beautiful. I can't even.
Amazing song....why such songs dont get popularity
That lyric gets me every one of the 80 times in a row I've watched this.
Thanks Mike I watch this video everyday and everyday I'm left speechless staring at my computer screen when it is over :)
Still listening to this.

I would like to see 'em live in concert once in my lifetime...
I have been waiting for this one for a long time, and it's better than I could have imagined
Oh my goodness, thank you Mike. This is just perfect. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family!
It's so great how they don't go off being jerks now that they are popular. They are always considerate.
I love the Avette Brothers and I love Crackerfarm! Amazing !
Just lovely
Beautiful. I'm from Alaska and didn't even recognize it. Missing the majestic mountains.
Thank you, Mike! Merry Christmas! Enjoy that baby girl.
Merry Christmas everyone!!! This is an awesome gift. Thanks Mike. All the best for 2013.

Something so special going on with these guys. So grateful I have their music in my life. When Seth chimed in On vocals I had a full on eargasm. Mmm Avetts
Nice performance in the Carolina outback. Exceptional picking and great harmony.
Congratulations on the Grammy nomination.
What a beautiful arrangement...Playing...singing. Wonderful.
I wish I had your job. I absolutely love these boys music.
Music that brings a tear to your eye...these guys have more songs that do this to me....& I'm a pretty tough nut! This is beautiful!! ♪
