I love at the end that he just looks at her kind of like "my concerts are being sold out and my own daughter is crying because I'm singing"...nothing more humbling than a child's honest opinion. That being said...I could listen to either brother sing for the rest of my life and be perfectly content.
The realness of these two dudes is what makes them so rad! This video is, to me, what makes them cool. Simple dudes, singing simple songs, with not so simple messages.... righteous.
I thought when my kids did this to me that it was just a reflection of the quality of my singing and playing but I can see now that it happens to the best, too! At least she didn't mash your fingers, Scott.
No matter how bad my day gets I can always lift my spirits coming to watch this this. Always leaves me with a smile in my soul & tear in my eye. Good stuff right here.
oh God, she is so cute! CLOSE it daddy! Oh, and Avett Bbros; opening for DMB at the Gorge was AMAZING I can't get enough of you guys now. Thanks for the music,
I literally watch this over and over everyday, sing it all day, and everytime I lead singing at church its one of the songs I choose. I absolutely love this! :) Thank you Scott, your amazing! Hopefully he'll put an album together of old Gospels, cuz I've heard the avett brothers do a few now.
I love, love, love that ya'll posted this. I'm sure this is something that 100% of parents of young kids (and perhaps even older ones) can identify with 100%. Thanks for all ya'll do. Y'all rock and are such an encouragement to our lives and world right now.
Scott, this is a wonderful video that shows more about you and your family than your music ever will. Having said that...please, please, please, please dont bring her to a show when she is in this mood.
What a show of experience on stage. Your daughter is grabbing your hands, you can still keep the song going. Love how he gets a hand free, and starts to play again. How fun.
what a great song. what better way to walk closer with than walking with family, especially your child. my daughter does the same to me when playing guitar. what blessings. That being said.....i would love to see/hear this song done in it's entirety. thx for everything.
Had to watch it again since I didn't get a chance to finish it on my first go round before work. Such a big smile on my face right now. She's gorgeous (so's her daddy...) :P
What an awesome video! Watching Scott be a great (and patient) daddy is wonderful! Eleanor really does have his beautiful blue eyes. A handsome man and a lovely little girl...Scott and Sarah...you make beautiful babies!
Something I remember from working in a medical setting is that beautiful songs like this would often cause uncontrollable weeping with the patients and residents. Organs seemed to cause the most grief. The patients and their friends told me the same thing regarding the cause of such sadness, and that is that this music all brought back memories of church services with loved ones being present. It especially reminded everyone of those dreaded funerals and all of the sadness involved.

When your Daddy is a huge music star, but you are 3 yrs old & you rule the world. I remember seeing an interview with Robin Williams & his little boy said, "Can you please stop being funny and just be my Dad?" I also saw an interview with Faith Hill & her daughter said , "Mommy, how come you've never won a Grammy?" Faith said, "I have won 3, but your Daddy & I leave that fame at the door."Our kids set us straight, every time, always. And that is a GOOD THING!
Parents unite! This shows Scott's persistence- if you can outwit a 3-4 year old and get your song finished, that's a major accomplishment! She's a lovely little lass- probably just wanted her way- may have an iron will like dad:) bravo on the song too:)
When you thought you couldn't love him/them more... She is precious. He is calm, cool and cute as hell trying to deal with her...and still singing the hell out of that song!! What struck me and a few other friends of mine who watched this... Because our kids adore us for different reasons than everyone else! :) It struck me that she is probably very jealous of the very thing that we all love him for...since it takes him away so much. And lastly, the end! Where she walks off. His face!
This is a song that I sing with my 4 sisters often, so I was looking forward to hearing his version. This made me LOL so hard! I have 5 children, so I can relate to multitasking...just adding to the million reasons why I love this family so much!
Well that wasn't the most adorable thing I've seen all day/week/month/year or anything. He's so gentle and patient with her. I love it! And she's adorable. Dems good genes!
I love the new lines of older songs like Murder in the city, mentioning his kids and wife versus his sister and parents. God damn, the Avett brothers band have changed nearly all of their lineage based lyrics of the years I’ve seen then to shed light in growth. Both brothers penned many and most of the songs and they’re living documents to their experiences through the depths of love and the pain of loss.
The look on Scott's face is a look that all Fathers have had with their kids at one point...one of unconditional love but a little frustration as well...been there
Every time I watch this, it just gets cuter and cuter. I saw you guys last night at the Ted Constant, you were amazzzinggg!! (per usual) I wished I had floor tickets, but I got good seats. Thanks for showing us this video, crackerfarm.
One day that little girl will grow up with children of her own. That man will be gone from this earth. She'll watch this video in tears wishing to hear him again while her child cries and begs her to stop playing that video. That child will then grow up with children... The Avett Brothers have saved my life many of times. I thank whatever is out there for music, especially theirs.
i have a daughter that is about the same age, and she does the same thing to me when i play guitar and sing sometimes! granted i cannot play guitar or sing nearly as well as scott, but i can still relate. I loved this!
If I could like this a gazillion times I would!!! It may be my new favorite Crackerfarm video! That kid is SO cute and Scott is such a cute daddy too! I love seeing them at home just being normal people! Makes me love them so much more!!! Thanks Scott and Crackerfarm!
I love a strong willed child! God Bless her she knows what she wants and she is not afraid to ask for it, a great trait that will bring her much happiness ( and some frustration) LOL
What a beautiful father and daughter. I'm sure she'll appreciate it when she is older. She'll have fond memories of Daddy singing to her, she won't remember pulling his hands away from the keys.
This is my favorite video on youtube
DemonDeacon21 mine too
I just found it and I love it.
I love at the end that he just looks at her kind of like "my concerts are being sold out and my own daughter is crying because I'm singing"...nothing more humbling than a child's honest opinion.

Whenever I'm having a bad day I come and watch this video and get happy.
We can have a bunch of good days together. Let's go get dinner sometime.
I am so madly in love with this man
Me too!!
His daughter made 9 accounts so she could dislike his singing 9 times
LOL
I love you Scott!
The realness of these two dudes is what makes them so rad! This video is, to me, what makes them cool. Simple dudes, singing simple songs, with not so simple messages.... righteous.
Thanks for this comment man! Definetly this!
Amen Charles ! : )
I know right!! Just some brothers singing. Makes me wonder how many other brothers I know that might be able to sing!
Right on the money
Haha, that was perfect! I love how he was able to laugh and not get frustrated:)
My 8 year old has been watching this on repeat for an hour. This made my heart so happy today.
I'm agnostic and I've never had an interest in gospel music...but I absolutely adore this. Record a gospel album, and I'll buy it too!
That gave me a chuckle... Beautiful young lady being ...young. God Bless you all!
when he says "come on, baby! sing it!", my heart melts. he is such a good man.
I thought when my kids did this to me that it was just a reflection of the quality of my singing and playing but I can see now that it happens to the best, too! At least she didn't mash your fingers, Scott.
I used to do this to my dad sometimes when he would play his guitar, now I'm always telling him to get it out & play! Lol
That was super cute to watch! I love how he smiles at her and keeps singing and OMG...she is so stinkin' cute!!
So sweet...it made my day. When she is old enough to appreciate his talent, she will realize (like we already do) that her dad is awesome!
That is so something my son would do. How adorable and he is so talented to keep right on playing
this is one of the sweetest things i have ever seen, it never fails to make me smile
Oh bless you all. I think I've watched this a hundred times today.
Our loved ones are sometimes are greatest critics.
Best. Video. Ever. It is impossible not to smile while watching this.
i can't wait for her to get older and watch this.... She has no idea what her Daddies singing means to all of us. So sweet and innocent!
No matter how bad my day gets I can always lift my spirits coming to watch this this. Always leaves me with a smile in my soul & tear in my eye. Good stuff right here.
oh God, she is so cute! CLOSE it daddy!
Oh, and Avett Bbros; opening for DMB at the Gorge was AMAZING I can't get enough of you guys now. Thanks for the music,
My heart melted.... so sweet

This is so cute. And Scott Avett has the nicest smile

Patients,skill,love,talent,kindness,ability, thoughtfulness.
Love this! Good daddy singing great music + precious little ears present = beautiful daddy/daughter relationship for years to come.

What a heartwarming video. I'll take these all day long. Thank you kindly, Mike. >Leaves to go hug daughter
This is priceless! Thanks to Scott for letting us into his home and sharing his family. What a precious little girl! I am still laughing!
Fantastic pure spontaneous entertainment. Anyone with children will understand.
i dont usually post comments but i felt compelled to share with the world that i think scott is the man! cant wait to see them on new years
The irony of him singing "Let it be, dear Lord, let it be" as she gets more and more upset is just great
This is definitely the cutest video I have ever seen...what I would give to be called 'babe' by scott avett!
Scott.Nothing stops you! So awesome! Love you guys for keeping it real!
"Dear lord...forgive her for her sins for she knows not what she does" hahaha....
Who in the world are the 11 people who gave this a thumbs down? This is my favorite video ever in the history of all things.
When you thought you couldn't love him/them more...
She is precious.
He is calm, cool and cute as hell trying to deal with her...and still singing the hell out of that song!!

Wonder what she wanted daddy to do if not sing.... beautiful little you have their Scott, you and yours are blessed indeed.
This is so sweet! His patience doesn't surprise me at all...love it! ♪
I love that they keep God in their home, amazing people
This is a song that I sing with my 4 sisters often, so I was looking forward to hearing his version. This made me LOL so hard! I have 5 children, so I can relate to multitasking...just adding to the million reasons why I love this family so much!
How sweet she is. I love this.
❤❤She still hasn't mastered the wrapping around the finger yet! What an interaction.
I have been a die hard Avett Brothers fan for a while now. This is by far my favorite video!
this video made my heart smile!!! thanks for sharing,Scott!
I can't get enough of you and your group but this made laugh like crazy. I grew up that way. I'm 47
First time I heard that song was in the movie, “Cool Hand Luke”. Love it even with the little girl backup vocal.
The greatest video I have seen this year,love it!!!
Well that wasn't the most adorable thing I've seen all day/week/month/year or anything. He's so gentle and patient with her. I love it! And she's adorable. Dems good genes!
I can't help but smile through the entire video. Scott is my hero.
aww shame, so cute, but in the mind of a child its singing that always takes daddy away im sure she just wants some all about me time. so precious
patrick jaroch she's lucky to have her father, there are many who don't.
As a dad of a child a similar age, this is exactly how it is. I commend thee Scott.
Would love to hear him sing this song again with the piano. Simply beautiful.
I love the new lines of older songs like Murder in the city, mentioning his kids and wife versus his sister and parents. God damn, the Avett brothers band have changed nearly all of their lineage based lyrics of the years I’ve seen then to shed light in growth.

This warms my heart every time I watch it.
Good job, Scott, getting through the entire song. Now that's a professional musician! Keep playing on no matter what.
hahaha...omg, how adorable is she? love her persistance!
what a great father, he doesn't try to stop her at all = )
Aaaaah. I remember those days with my own little guy..That was awesome. And I agree with Trish, well played, Pops.
The look on Scott's face is a look that all Fathers have had with their kids at one point...one of unconditional love but a little frustration as well...been there
You should record it again once she's gone to bed! ;-) It would be nice to hear the full song with your piano playing.
Lol! I love it. Seriously, seriously cute. Thanks for helping me start my dad with a smile!!!
I've had this in my head for two days!! Totally been here before...my daughter shuts the top too and she turns my tuners on my guitar or banjo...
When you have no idea that your dad is a legend...
Every time I watch this, it just gets cuter and cuter. I saw you guys last night at the Ted Constant, you were amazzzinggg!! (per usual) I wished I had floor tickets, but I got good seats. Thanks for showing us this video, crackerfarm.
One day that little girl will grow up with children of her own. That man will be gone from this earth. She'll watch this video in tears wishing to hear him again while her child cries and begs her to stop playing that video. That child will then grow up with children...
The Avett Brothers have saved my life many of times. I thank whatever is out there for music, especially theirs.
Too cute. Love it. Wish my little angel was still here.
i have a daughter that is about the same age, and she does the same thing to me when i play guitar and sing sometimes! granted i cannot play guitar or sing nearly as well as scott, but i can still relate. I loved this!
this little video puts all of life in perspective!
This is far too perfect for word
If I could like this a gazillion times I would!!! It may be my new favorite Crackerfarm video! That kid is SO cute and Scott is such a cute daddy too! I love seeing them at home just being normal people! Makes me love them so much more!!! Thanks Scott and Crackerfarm!
I think this is the cutest video you have uploaded.
What a lucky little girl to be able to hear her father sing so often that she's that tired of it!
LOL! I just learned one more nice thing about Scott Avett. He has the patience of Job!!! That was so sweet... =}
that is the most precious thing i have ever seen! but..... that child has no idea what she's talking about! KEEP SINGING SCOTT! :)
Love it! I'm a single dad and have this same challenge on a regular basis. All smiles and no anger... good dad
this has to be the most beautiful thing in the world, ever.
I love a strong willed child! God Bless her she knows what she wants and she is not afraid to ask for it, a great trait that will bring her much happiness ( and some frustration) LOL
been there!! Love the "close it daddy, close it". Sometimes they just don't want to listen to us. ;)
i LOVE this video! scott's rocking the best beard, and his daughter is just too cute. ughhh i gotta get to an avett concert!
Way to close out the concert in Pittsburgh with this song! I really enjoy hearing you all sing the gospel tunes!
This is so good! love your videos and Music... Thank you for sharing.
I love it. I don't know why that stops you from doing more Scott videos. Makes for an even better video! Drama! :P
laughed out loud,got two daughters and i cannot sing...love it.
I heard them sing this in Portsmouth, VA. Even more beautiful when Scott and Seth sing it together!
Most adorable thing ever
Give it up Scott...that is one determined and unimpressed woman 😀
Precious! Something to look back on when she is older!
C'mon baby, sing it!!! hahahah 1:58
What a beautiful father and daughter. I'm sure she'll appreciate it when she is older. She'll have fond memories of Daddy singing to her, she won't remember pulling his hands away from the keys.
