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.
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).
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....
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...
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.
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 Love these Brothers - they compliment each other so well - and they know who should be lead on each song - i love the bluegrass feel without the patchouli smell
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.
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!!).
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 ❤
My son introduced me to theAvetts. I am 65 but they are my very favorite .went to my first concert last year and plan on repeating that exciting experience.So happy to find such moving lyrics in so many of their songs.Hope you continue to entertain us for many years!!
i live in the same town as these guyyss and they are my heros they taught me to love my hometown and im going to ecu like seth and i really cant wait, these guys are the best and i love them.. concord nc(: thumps up for these great musicians :D
scott and seth are the true meaning of artists, all of their work is so inspirational. their gentlemen of north carolina and represent my home state with pride, let their music play forever.
Now there have been 5 years I was waiting for a concert in Switzerland. Next year in March they're finally coming. I still can't believe it, but I've already bought my ticket and I'm holding it right now in my hand and I swear I'll so gonna cry. It's gonna be a very special moment.
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
I'm so proud you're North Carolinians; and one of you went to ECU? Did you ever hear of Skeet Creedmore, a professor there that did such great ballads and blue grass?
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.
Life to short to chase after people who lie thier way through life! If you do, take from me you will be chasing thier lies with no happness to show for the time you put into getting to know the person!

"Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there" Took me 25 years to understand that... Summed up in a song. Well played gents..
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).
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..
Beautiful lyrics
The Internet really is a special thing. Look at all these people gathering to one song in order to appreciate the beauty and joy it brings. .
Perhaps their greatest song.
Definitely in their top 30.
Definitely their best song!

Yes, hum it in your head and keep walking down the sunny side of the street. Best wishes!
Keep your head up and you see the sun rise again, it's bound to rise again. The night is darkest before the dawn, eh?
I hope you are doing okay two years later!

people say our generations music is terrible. but its men like this who are the real musicians of this generation. timeless music.
Our generation 's music is not terrible. It is just our pop music.
"These words have never meant as much to anyone as they now mean to me."
Tell me about it.
I really love how they switch who does the melody and harmony.
I really love how you know that they did it
very seamless too. Hope this message finds you well, 9 years later
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.
There ain't nothing like two beautiful brothers in a folk band. Heart perpetually melted.
I have one and we never speak. Never
These guys are the real deal. They aren't musical pedigree either. There dad was a welder and mom a teacher. Finally music for us 30 somethings.
love these young men and happy for their success but this is my favorite setting to listen to them - simply beautiful!!!
The rust and wood just beautiful, everything about this has an eternal quality.
I Love these Brothers - they compliment each other so well - and they know who should be lead on each song - i love the bluegrass feel without the patchouli smell
this is absolutely one of the best songs i've ever heard. period.
Each of them always has such radically different hair in every performance on youtube...madness!
these guys.. these songs... make me want to be a better man
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.
Best Avett Brothers song, hands down, not close.
They are so freaking good.
I 334 r eeye
i love how it feels like i'm listening to some 1950s recording. It just goes to show that the quality of the music is what really matters, you know?
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!!).
How can anyone NOT like listening to these guys?
They look like they just stepped out of the 19th Century... Having said that, I really dig these dudes music...
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 ❤
A truly great song that rings so true!
This song means the world 2 me & the avett's deserve all the success over the years!!!! God bless all four of u
So needed to hear this today..I'm going home..
My son introduced me to theAvetts. I am 65 but they are my very favorite .went to my first concert last year and plan on repeating that exciting experience.So happy to find such moving lyrics in so many of their songs.Hope you continue to entertain us for many years!!
I have concluded these brothers can sing any song, any genre lead and harmony and probably any key. New fan here and loving The Avett Brothers!
i live in the same town as these guyyss and they are my heros they taught me to love my hometown and im going to ecu like seth and i really cant wait, these guys are the best and i love them.. concord nc(: thumps up for these great musicians :D
I can't put into words how much I relate to these guys and their music. I'm sure it's the same for all of us here. Love and nostalgia
Love the crickets in the background. They matched the beauty of the true harmony.
there sit two of the finest musicians of our generation.
scott and seth are the true meaning of artists, all of their work is so inspirational. their gentlemen of north carolina and represent my home state with pride, let their music play forever.
I hear The Dutchmen here but you guys have got it no matter what the sound or the influence keep it going LOVE YA'S
Now there have been 5 years I was waiting for a concert in Switzerland. Next year in March they're finally coming. I still can't believe it, but I've already bought my ticket and I'm holding it right now in my hand and I swear I'll so gonna cry. It's gonna be a very special moment.
how could twelve people not like this?!
I love the mix of their voices in the chorus.
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
this time period has the most dynamic different types of music being creative. I think it is awesome.

Oh Avett brothers... Jesus loves you.
To each their own, but I think the throwback audio and video style suits the style of music and track perfectly.
How I wish they would come to Germany ..wanna see 'em live!!
I'm so proud you're North Carolinians; and one of you went to ECU? Did you ever hear of Skeet Creedmore, a professor there that did such great ballads and blue grass?
J'adore leur style ainsi que le son caverneux de la vidéo...ambiance !

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.
