I can't stop watching this video. It is a wonderful thing to enjoy Seth Avett, a Southern born white man, sing a song written by Sam Cooke and his feelings during The Civil Rights Movement in 1963. Indeed, Mr. Cooke. Indeed.
He is so beautiful inside and out. this song brings me to the realization that i can carry on no matter what is knocking me down. its songs like these that Seth sings that makes me feel this freedom and acceptance is real in my life. his way of singing is a blessing on all our hearts. All his work is so sensitive and meaningful. All the Avetts work is always a lovely reminder of the confidence and beauty with in all of us.
The Avett Brothers sincerely have the kindest hearts out of anyone you'll ever meet. That is the only reason why it is so acceptable that someone could easily spend a lot of money on a piano played by them, because they are so honest and good hearted. Keep doing what you do boys :)
Deep talent in this young man! And his brother as well. It's hard to describe but I just want to hear more and more...maybe it's their passion for music.
yeah.... still chills to the bone, even a year later & even with the Carpenter released. love you guys. No part of my heart left to give to another musician.
So, I love the Avett Brothers and Sam Cooke, this is hard to beat! That, coming from me, says alot. It is rare that I hear this song covered and enjoy it! But I suppose coming from an Avett, it was to be expected!!
One thing that I honestly don't think can EVER be said about an Avett is commenting on their lack of soul. Please learn something about this man, his music, his life and then come back and talk about him singing with soul. Just because he doesn't have a huge voice doesn't mean that he isn't singing with depth.
this would be the centerpiece of my house, and i'd probably have every meal of the day sitting with it and tell it good night and stare at it for hours on end
i dont even bother turning on the radio anymore, all the new pop music is ruined for me. :/ thats okay with me though, as long as the avett bros keep on keeping on.

I will never stop listening to the Avetts for as long as I live.

I have always loved this song anyway but Seth doing it makes it really special. Thank you brother.
Oh. My. Gawd. How have I never seen this before?!?!?!?! 💜💜
I love that old piano!!!! it really sounds like an old down home country church piano..
Madam Vonkook cause it is
Every time I watch this I have to do it twice! I feel like Seth will sing right into your soul if you are standing close enough.
This rendition has been running through my head for the last four weeks now, and I hope it never stops.
I love this man . I can't even remember who I listened to before I discovered the Avette Bros.
I honestly can't either... Most likely cause I started listening to these guys in 5th grade... I'm a junior in high school now.
hahahha same. i started in high school so basically all my 20's... can't stop...
Cheri Fitzgerald Obviously something good :)
Cheri Fitzgerald as long as i can remember my uncle and dad showed me them proabbly in second grade and now I'm a senior crazy

The joy on his face at 2:18 that carries the rest of the song to its end is magical. To be that free. In the moment and in the song. That is pure.
Deep talent in this young man! And his brother as well. It's hard to describe but I just want to hear more and more...maybe it's their passion for music.
amen brother.
I so wish this version was on Spotify, it just hits different
I never thought I could like this song more than I already do but he just elevated to a new level
yeah.... still chills to the bone, even a year later & even with the Carpenter released. love you guys. No part of my heart left to give to another musician.
maybe one of my favorite youtube videos of all time....most "honest" singing I've ever seen....the emotion is incredible
He has a beautiful soul, so much talent and heart. Love it
God Bless you and please never stop. Marvelous beyond words... this rendition has given me chills every one of the last 350 times I listened to it.
These brothers have the ability to change their look so much haha i barely recognized seth.
I don't think I've ever hit the replay button so many times for any other video before this...
i could listen to this all day
DO. MORE. COVERS!!!! I think I speak for all of mankind when I say it
Seth is definitely a Sam Cooke fan. He does a beautiful job on his songs.
Whenever I'm having a bad day I play this and close my eyes and let his voice take me away. Then when it's over, I feel instantly better
This song gives me hope

I could watch his face as he sings for the rest of my life.
His eyes roll back in his head. It's chilling, isn't it?
Loren Whitaker He's perfect. His posture and movements make this song that much more awe inspiring.
I dig _your_ posture. : ) Just saying.
Loren Whitaker Haha, thanks!
Loren Whitaker
Smooth, man. Real smooth.
Absolutely purely amazingly perfect performance. I listen to this religiously.
He is so pleasing to look at when he sings.
Love it. Still shivering. Thank you Seth!

Truly beautiful piece. Tears come.
Way to revive, a really influential tune.i really enjoyed it, Sam you are missed

-This is an unfathomably beautiful cover, Seth.
Im giving the like for the Cactuar. But agree with the statement
He makes you feel the song...oh and I'm feeling it!
Always an Inspirational tune. Great singing and piano playing.
Beautiful
Kyla Tyler Damn so are you! :)
Fucking incredible! I get chills every time.
His voice! It's like butter on a warm skillet :)
I seriously went back to that part at 2:20 about 10 times.... It makes me smile every single time.
Such an amazing song. And definitely beautifully performed.
MY GOD SETH AVETT. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY HEART.
That was incredible.
God I love his voice.
Mr Avett... you give hope to skinny men all over the world, and for that we thank you.

Love this song!
WOW!
the best advertising for such a good cause.
Extraordinary!
Oh. One of my favorite songs. The George Benson version (from "Breezin'" - I think - is awesome, too. Great job, Seth. : )
Beautiful!!!!!
What a voice we love you guys here in buffalo my, hope you come close so we can catch you live!
sing to my heart yet again seth
You all need to come back
Amazing - they should remake every song written, they are always that much better!!
Awesome!
Imma huge Sam Cooke fan and u did him proud,that was awesome
I like to think that he is singing to his wife from 2:18-2:37. It is such a beautiful part of the song and he has the best smile on his face.
This is just amazingly beautiful!!:-))) LOVE Thank you so much for posting
this would be the centerpiece of my house, and i'd probably have every meal of the day sitting with it and tell it good night and stare at it for hours on end
avetts; singularly stunning
really beautiful!
If I had the money, I'd buy that piano in a heart beat!
I love the last couple of comments... student loans, whatever, and I would kiss this piano goodnight, everynight!
really excellent - well done!
Best cover ever
Nice, very nice..... Imagine an orchestra playing.......
Scott and Seth are two VERY talented dudes.
really what a sweet soulful; voice
WOW!! COOOL!!!! REALLY AWESOME!!!!
This is absolutely fantastic :D
He got Soul!!!!
It ain't SAM COOKE but this is great. Right on Jeremy and he does it Proud...! Do it Seth "Tarheeler" man...!
If it's not Sam Cooke, who is it then?
I've searched online and I'm pretty sure it was written by Cooke in '64.
Sam Cooke wrote it and did it. Made it a hit. We were just saying that in this video it's not Sam, but it was still done pretty good....!
+Bob M actually prefer this over Sam Cooke
rest babas mamá Love yall
Excellent!!
omg seth avett ... king of cuties
I love how he stays true to Sam's version
Amen Bro!
I just want to say when he turns to the camera when hes sings " there are times that i thought" thats just vocalist confidence. i know.
You betta preach!
lovethis!
My favorite version is Rick Dankos from the bands album Moondog Matinee
Oh yes it will !
"Well Done Bravo, Bravo!!"
This song is way too fucking good on the piano being played by seth's magical fingers for me to listen to nearly.
If it wasn't for the Avett Brothers.... I would endure the pain head on, alone. :/
If UA-cam offers to fix the shake on this video, please consider the offer.
Otherwise, thanks, beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.
Mother mercy.
In the beginning the piano sounded a little off, but by the end it sounded like perfection.
Well don't you know, it had to warm up!
Good job i love it :D
Good job
You've done Sam proud, yeah!
I love Sam Cooke, and nobody can ever top his own original version that's full of soul but Seth did a good job for a white boy. Haha.
I think he did the song great justice.
i would have paid just to have been there to see this
#teamseth
BEAUTIFUL awesome music he cut his hair :( still very attractive
i dont even bother turning on the radio anymore, all the new pop music is ruined for me. :/ thats okay with me though, as long as the avett bros keep on keeping on.
