Seth has an effortless sincerity that makes everything he plays sound like it came straight from his soul...the songs he covers don't just seem like they must be originals because of his mastery of expressing flawless emotional dynamics and pacing the songs to perfection but in fact they sometimes make the originals sound like covers of him...has talent extends past having a great voice and technical skills on his guitar, he actually projects more sincerity than the authors do which is an anomaly
I never could grasp the entirety of this song until I read the lyrics; once I had the full story and beauty of this song came together in my mind. Just an awesome lyric paired with the perfect chords and finished with his magical voice.
Oh Mark you have no idea what you have stumbled upon....Avett gold! Don't stop listening at this video...There is a goldmine of Avett Brothers videos and there is nothing more amazing....ever! Ever! Welcome to the Avett Nation!!!!
I would play this song over and over again in a certain phase of my life years ago. Hearing it takes me back - I can feel it like it all happened yesterday.
Thank you Matt Butcher for writing such a beautiful, honest, and heart invading song. Thank you Seth for sharing it with the world in a way only you could do...your effortlessly angelic voice, your overwhelming presence in every note sang and picked...Thank you Crackerfarm for capturing this for all of us to watch over and over and over, this is by far my favorite....Thank you Jeremy for your beautiful artwork :)
I always say if your going to cover someone's song, it better be awesome. Anyone should be honored to Seth cover their song. Those boys are what makes music special, you can see it, hear it and feel it every time they play!
I was just sitting here listening to this song with my 19-mo-old buddy Reese on my lap. Me, fascinated by the vocals, passion, getting caught up in the words...Reese swinging her legs, listening to the music, also staring at the screen. Then she reached into her little cup of Alpha-Bits cereal, took one out, and offered it to Seth Avett on the screen! hahaha totally made my morning!!! Beautiful, beautiful song. Can't listen to it enough
These Crackerfarm videos (especially the Avett ones) have opened my eyes to a bunch of artists I'd never heard of. I love how down home these videos are. It just really helps me see what inspires the music I so love, and that's awesome.
This reminds me of Elliott Smith's writing, the master of hauntingly beautiful. I was amazed to see that Seth did in fact cover some of Elliott's work, I was so bummed that he didnt include Waltz #2
I'm so happy to have these videos of the brothers, together and separate. Not only to be able to see and hear them, but to know that there are other people out there who feel exactly as I do about them. I don't know anyone personally who does. So thanks to the Avett Brothers for all that they are and all that they give to us, and to all of you who let me know that I am not alone. I hope to meet some of you one day!!
I heard this about 7 or 8 months ago, I think. I couldn't stop listening till the end. I found it by UA-cam'ing and jumping from link to link. You know how you do. Unfortunately, I want logged in to UA-cam and my browser was set to ease history daily. I looked and looked and looked, oh and I looked. I tried starting from original video I watched and tried to follow the links I could remember, praying to get back to this. Today, by chance I was googling different picking styles. Ya know
Cont... To increase my bag of tricks, and the was a forum where a guy have a link to this video asking for help on the picking style. And then holy cow, three was that voice. Keep it up. God finally answered my prayer. Thank you.
Your buddy Matt wrote a beautiful song. I checked out his site. Thanks for leading me to another talent worth listening to. Seth renders the song perfectly. I think I've listened to it a hundred times already, and I only found this video five days ago. Sharing it with everyone I know!
yeah, Its just amazing how they do that. I can't wait till they do some of their new songs from the new album. can't wait for the acoustic version. I hope to God that they will
apparently it is a Custom Martin "Seth of the Avett Brothers on his Martin Custom, singing a Matt Butcher song. Gorgeous video courtesy of Crackerfarm."
I love that The Avett Brothers respond to us :) We love you guys so much! Saw you on 4/12/12 again! 3rd state, and for the next I can't wait. :) Much Love friends :)
This song will always affect my soul for reasons untold . That last part was a law unto my life. Better for the both of us.... cuz my heart's collecting dust.
This man can sing anything. His voice is sparkles in the sunlight. I tried to be reserved, but no luck: Seth's voice is unreal, his 'um' at 4:16 - pure Seth. (And, yes, I'll be looking up Matt Butcher - these lyrics are stellar.)
Wow. This is great. I'm the piano player for Matt Butcher, so cool to hear Seth play one of our tunes!
dude that's really cool
I listen again after 7 years. And that guitar still sounds great

Dude, yes.

Years later I’m on an Avett Brothers Binge!
Oh Mark you have no idea what you have stumbled upon....Avett gold! Don't stop listening at this video...There is a goldmine of Avett Brothers videos and there is nothing more amazing....ever! Ever! Welcome to the Avett Nation!!!!
The beauty created by the Avett Brothers seems immeasurable.
I think this man has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Even better live. God blessed him with a beautiful voice

That was honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Wow.
I intended to let Seth sing me to sleep but here I lay three hours and countless songs later wide awake. Cant get enough of this
I was named after a famous country singer's song! I am so touched by these lyrics, beautiful.
This has definitly got to be one of Seth's best performances EVER!!!

these guys are from a place about 45 minutes from me and I am just now hearing about them. Better late than never.
this is honestly the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
he makes every song better
One of my all time favorites 🙏🏻
Awesome, Seth! Matt is a fantastic songwriter and you did a great job on this.
This is majestically fantastic.Beautiful. Sometimes life just comes together at the right time, the right place, this is it.
I wish they’d release this cover as a single. What a sound! I have to come back a few times each year to listen.
Back again.
Nothing better than watching an amazing musician perform an amazingly written song. Matt Butcher has my attention with these lyrics
My word. I LOVE this. Music is such a powerful thing man. People take such a simple, yet beautiful thing for granted.
What a beautiful sight, and sound.

Just brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
heart made of gold, sparkles in the sunlight
Seth Avett...you melt me!!
Posted this on my birthday:) best gift everrrr!

2021! 9 anos depois e eu ainda me emociono com essa música!

I think i'm up to twice a day at least now. Such a gorgeous song.
My heart is collecting dust too. Absolutely amazing lyrics, melody and performance. I already love Seth, now it seems I have to get to know Matt..
Can't get enough of this!!
True story!

This is a voice that is one in a billion- wow
The next song I'll be playing on mh old guitar. Thanks, Mr. Butcher, and to my musical idol, Seth Avett for this one.
His voice is so harmonious, I can't tell the difference between him and the guitar. Beautiful
Ugh, Just Beautiful
Who’s still listening ? Absolute greatness right here
This is the best thing I've ever listened to
Never gets old
This is my favorite video of Seth! So moving!

My Sister, my brother, and I were all named after famous country singers: Woody Guthrie, Iris Dement, and Townes van Zandt
I'm confused... none of those three names was "Miles".
today is the first time i've ever heard of the avett brothers...his voice is so soothing...love it
So beautiful!
Beautiful.
They happened to catch him 10 minutes after shaving
and one day after he had a buzz cut!
Your buddy Matt wrote a beautiful song. I checked out his site. Thanks for leading me to another talent worth listening to. Seth renders the song perfectly. I think I've listened to it a hundred times already, and I only found this video five days ago. Sharing it with everyone I know!
So beautifully said! You absolutely get IT!
That man's voice...he gets me every time.
Matt Butcher... my favorite song writer.
yeah, Its just amazing how they do that. I can't wait till they do some of their new songs from the new album. can't wait for the acoustic version. I hope to God that they will
Really nice! Seth always has such a smooth voice.
Seth, your voice is perfection
Damn, what a great sound that guitar has!
one of the most awesome things Ive ever heard
Simply lovely.
This man...
This is beautiful!
Thank you. This is truly lovely.
I am so in love with this from top to bottom.
Pure talent... Just a man and his guitar
pure soul!
Such a well written song and such a potentially iconic voice.
apparently it is a Custom Martin "Seth of the Avett Brothers on his Martin Custom, singing a Matt Butcher song. Gorgeous video courtesy of Crackerfarm."
i think that's what i love most about them.
My hearts collecting dust
beautiful
This is like the 5th time in an hour I'm listening to this song.
I love that The Avett Brothers respond to us :) We love you guys so much! Saw you on 4/12/12 again! 3rd state, and for the next I can't wait. :) Much Love friends :)

Beautiful song! -3
If the simple beauty of his voice alone wasn't enough...
Such a beautiful guitar. And obviously a talented artist covering an amazing song. Am I just stating the obvious here?...
the heart and soul...
His voice is so angelic
I'm addicted.
beautiful,pure poetry
So awesomeness!,
Is there anything this beautiful man can not sing?
On repeat
Very pretty!
I find myself watching this at least once a day...
Goodness gracious. Love.

Couldn't agree more.
So damn beautiful
