    The A/V effect of this really shows how you could throw these dudes in any era and their music would fit in just fine. They are a perfect example of timeless music.

    "Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there" Took me 25 years to understand that... Summed up in a song. Well played gents..

    I wonder how good it must have been to see these boys grow up and grow into their talent as kids. Bet they have some pretty proud family.

    I have to say, this is my favourite recording of this song.
    it sounds like the voices are floating from an old gramophone..

    Ambience. Setting. Nature. Rustic. Cinematography. Sound (old time gramophone). Everything about this is so perfect. It brings back so many memories of childhood. I always come back to this. I’ve been watching this for over a decade and will be watching for several more (I hope).

    Every time I listen to the Avett brothers, I'm just in awe. There aren't words to describe how their music makes me feel. What a way to make this shit-tastic week more enjoyable.

    I just divorced the mother of my children...a pathological liar, shoplifter, and serial adulterer diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder who I doubt uttered a single truthful word in 17 years of marriage. I can't express how it feels to listen to this song. Thanks to the Avetts I have something to hum in my head as I walk down the street....

    • @MRob-bi3xx
      @MRob-bi3xx 9 років тому +2

      Yes, hum it in your head and keep walking down the sunny side of the street. Best wishes!

      Thank you...but oddly enough, the situation got worse for my children just this week. So by extension I'm not doing ok as their father. A music video comment section is not the venue for such conversation other than to say that pathological dishonesty is a far more destructive human trait for families than those who have never dealt with it can possibly imagine. The weight of lies, indeed. We now even have a president whose dishonesty is weighing upon an entire nation...

    • @seangraves2524
      @seangraves2524 6 років тому

      You mean like unemployment going down,,, stock market going up. Being respected in the world again. Yeah that's terrible.This is the first president in my lifetime that actually is trying to do what he said he was going to do. How you can call that is a lie or dishonest
      is beyond me. There are none so blind as those that will not see... Your right about one thing a music comment section is not a place for such conversations, so why did you bring it up.

    I was introduced to The Avett brothers by the book called Slammed from Colleen Hoover.. what amazing experience to listen to their music and reading Slammed... I understand better what main character is feeling because songs describe it really good.. I became fan of Brothers after few chords ❤

  • @sarahayer6957

    The first time I watched this video about a year ago is the moment I fell in love with the Avetts. The old-timey sound on this is the business. Saw them live, finally, and then were unreal. This is music. (Come to the pacific NW more often!!).

  • @mkaymack
    @mkaymack 12 років тому +1

    i live in the same town as these two and have seen them a few times. As you would expect, they act like normal human beings and are completely humble. This is a perfect video. It describes their lives so well. I am a forever fan.

  • @Phillsfan89
    @Phillsfan89 10 років тому +1

    god this is such a good song, these guys just bring such soul and life to their music, they tell a story with each song and they tell it differently each time through different live performances. I was always taught when playing/singing to tell the song's story so that it pertains to people listening so that they may make their own relationship to that song....these guys nail it

    Exactly! A great example of that is some of that old Dock Boggs stuff like "Sugar Baby." It's so gritty and dirty and raw (recorded back in the 30s), but it just adds to the feel and emotion of the song.
