I wonder how many of us have our own "drunk Jon"s that have eventually brought us here? Mine is funny Steve from the dining hall freshman year, now friends for life some 18 years on. Love this, bud
This song always had me thinking about my sister who passed away 10 years ago. 13 days ago though I lost the man who was father to me, and now I sit and listen and think about him.
The reason people want to see carbon copies of the original is because many fans (myself included) consider in the aeroplane over the sea to be a perfect album. I wouldn't change a single sound or note on that entire album.
Oh my god. I can't believe what I just found. Two of my favorites combined. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! It's almost as if I manifested it into being! I love you Neutral Milk Hotel/Jeff Mangum. I love you Avetts Brothers. I'm a new Avetts Bro's fan and was recently thinking how alike Jeff and Seth are in spirit, in sound, and moves. So much love. Thank you.
I first heard this song during an impromptu jam session in a friend's studio apartment and loved it immediately. I love it even more hearing Avett and Co sing it....
When all senses are arrested in light of a thing such as this, these are the only words suitable...: "We do not merely want to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words - to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it." - C.S. Lewis
I have to say, NMH fans have got to be the biggest tight-asses I know when it comes to covers if it doesn't sound like a carbon copy of the original... I'm glad to see a fair amount of love on the comments! Seth's voice is perfect. the lyric change threw me off haha, but this is just overflowing with wonderful.
I was first turn on to this song by 2 young men that i think wasn't old enough to get into a bar. they were busking in this great town park call Recreation Park in Binghamton, NY. i couldn't ask for a better way to end my day trip with my youngest son. i'll never forget that late august day and those 2 young man and they joy they gave us and the people around them listening to them sing for the love it. too bad we don't see more of that. maybe i'll get lucky and the brothers will play this song this may.
i think if i had to pick one song if the question was what’s your favorite song of all time kind of a silly question but this would be it. this rendition in particular. can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all. my favorite lyric
What a beautiful face I have found in this place That is circling all 'round the sun What a beautiful dream That could flash on the screen In a blink of an eye and be gone from me Soft and sweet Let me hold it close and keep it here with me And one day we will die And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea But for now we are young Let us lay in the sun And count every beautiful thing we can see Love to be In the arms of all I'm keepin' here with me What a curious life We have found here tonight There is music that sounds from the street There are lights in the clouds Anna's ghost all around Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me Soft and sweet How the notes all bend and reach above the trees Now how I remember you How I would push my fingers through Your mouth to make those muscles move That made your voice so smooth and sweet But now we keep where we don't know All secrets sleep in winter clothes With one you loved so long ago Now he don't even know his name What a beautiful face I have found in this place That is circling all 'round the sun And when we meet on a cloud I'll be laughing out loud I'll be laughing with everyone I see Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
How have I never had this recommended to me lol??? Absolutely great cover.. 8 years later haha. I feel like I've seen every avett brothers and NMH vid on youtube
I find myself going back to this version almost more then the original which is already a masterpiece. This is like someone painting a Davinci that has just a touch more pleasing qualities to your eyes.
Oh my goodness, the boys do it again. Amazing. I'm kind of speechless right now. Love it more than the original, which is really saying something. Just beautiful.
I can never decide which I like better, Avery or Aeroplane...all I know is my life completely changed when I discovered them both 5 years ago. No album has ever impacted me like that and -Im in my 40's.
The idea of pledging one's life to a nation and worshipping its flag is extremely empty in my eyes. To me, this track in particular captures the soul of America that many have forgotten. God bless you lot.
This is what I love....back to their roots. When it was them breakin strings all over the place. Their out of tune melodies along with the lyrics when all combined together sounded.....well.....perfect. First time I saw these lads was in Tampla, Fl in a crowd of about 200 people. They came out for 3 encores. Ill never forget that night as long as I live. Boys, I love you, and I always will. But enough with the drums and piano. Yall were like nothing I had ever heard before. And now....
Avett Brothers
this is so wholesome
I wonder how many of us have our own "drunk Jon"s that have eventually brought us here? Mine is funny Steve from the dining hall freshman year, now friends for life some 18 years on. Love this, bud
If I would’ve never read the comment, by the guy that met the drunk guy @ the campground, they would’ve passed right by me. Thanks !
I hope he's not piloting the aeroplane
Lovin the Death Grips shirt in the background. It captures the full fantano experience this video has.
Its almost as if it completes the Fantano circle in this video
+Akir Stuart what does the Asian represent tho ? Cal?

Huge cringe vibes
My dad’s favorite band playing my favorite band’s song while wearing my other favorite group’s t shirt.
This is surreal.
This song always had me thinking about my sister who passed away 10 years ago. 13 days ago though I lost the man who was father to me, and now I sit and listen and think about him.
same
That’s so sad hope you both are doing good
My little brother -- 10 years ago in August. Sorry about your dad. Hope you had a good dream of him. I did when my dad died in 1994.
Glenn Oettinger So sorry to hear ❤️
Ms. Ntropy Very sorry for your losses. ❤️ I dream of both of them often. It's very comforting.
one of my favorite bands covering my all time favorite bands song... life is good
Holy shit, perfect, I'm so happy this exists
The reason people want to see carbon copies of the original is because many fans (myself included) consider in the aeroplane over the sea to be a perfect album. I wouldn't change a single sound or note on that entire album.
Completely agree with you. It was the first album that I ever listened to on repeat evey song through.
This is great. I love how the violin replaces the musical saw
This is permanently stuck in my head and heart. I can't stop watching and don't want to.
I knoow!!!!!
This song really touches me
+Shindy Listen to the original song. Its my favourite song.
+Kyle Gilbert I have! It's great
Show me on this doll where the song touched you
Beunibster lol
Wow great cover. Was not expecting the band to come in like that haha, was only listening. Captured the essence of the song so beautifully
Oh my god. I can't believe what I just found. Two of my favorites combined. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
It's almost as if I manifested it into being! I love you Neutral Milk Hotel/Jeff Mangum. I love you Avetts Brothers. I'm a new Avetts Bro's fan and was recently thinking how alike Jeff and Seth are in spirit, in sound, and moves. So much love. Thank you.
This is how I love the Avett Bros.Raw, acoustic, heartfelt music without the bells and whistles.It never fails to take me to a better place.
beautiful version of a beautiul song
dam my son played this at moms funeral got me in tears guys.
I really wasn't a fan of the vocal harmonization at first listen, but now I think it's really brilliant.
The boys really grow on you
I go through the whole album trying to harmonize and accompany him.
I'm so glad this rendition exists.
Still gets me. EVERY. Time.
This is one of my all-time favorite songs. Thank you. Cue the tears.
I first heard this song during an impromptu jam session in a friend's studio apartment and loved it immediately. I love it even more hearing Avett and Co sing it....
The only thing missing is the saw. They use a bow and saw in the original and it gives it a psychedelic vibe.
when i saw them live, the singing saw was so fucking cool
@@tymirra8769 Lucky!
Not to mention it sounds like the notes of the screams bending and reaching through the trees
missing the brass horn too
Right on Avett Bros, no one has ever covered this song with so much conviction!
My favorite band covering my favorite song. I am blissful.
Mind = blown. Thanks guys.
My god this is perfection. Gorgeous.

Simply amazing... one of my favorite bands covering a song by one of my other favorite bands... I'm in love!
I absolutely love this version.
Caught myself singing this today while waiting for my coffee to brew, what a beautiful song and wonderfully covered!
This overwhelms me.....just so compelling
This song is a classic
I don't always cry listening to music, but when I do, it's because of things like this.
this song is so heartbreakingly beautiful. amazing cover.
This is absolutely incredible. I have loved neutral milk for years and recently became a huge avett bros fan, this is one of the best videos ever!
Glad I got this recommendation, one of the best songs sung by another one of the best bands
One of my favorite songs ever. Beautiful cover.
I have to say, NMH fans have got to be the biggest tight-asses I know when it comes to covers if it doesn't sound like a carbon copy of the original... I'm glad to see a fair amount of love on the comments!
Seth's voice is perfect. the lyric change threw me off haha, but this is just overflowing with wonderful.
Arctic Monkeys fans are awful about this also. Covers are in different styles. That’s why they’re fun
I watch this video at least once a week. NMH and the Avett Bros, epic. Seth's voice with Joe and Bob's strings...chills. Thank you.
how strange it is to be anything at all :')
topfy123 existential stuff right there
The Creation is a miracle.
My favorite line from the song, for sure.
That's the line, uzdna. That's the line
So young here. But still the best band ever
This is probably one of my favorite videos on all of youtube.
Thank you for creating this! This is one of my absolute favorite songs done by another one of my absolute favorite bands!
I have lyrics from this song tattooed on me and I also have an avett brothers tattoo. This is the greatest thing to stumble upon.
I love this song so much, had to sit down and learn it yesterday.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! My new favourite band covering my old favourite band.
.
Amazing cover of one of the most beautiful songs ever written
this is so good i wanna cry😭😢
YES!!! I'm so happy they covered this song. One of my favorite songs covered by one of my favorite bands.
Violin part is so good
this is about the 7th day straight I've listening to this.. it's just so beautiful
I was first turn on to this song by 2 young men that i think wasn't old enough to get into a bar. they were busking in this great town park call Recreation Park in Binghamton, NY. i couldn't ask for a better way to end my day trip with my youngest son. i'll never forget that late august day and those 2 young man and they joy they gave us and the people around them listening to them sing for the love it. too bad we don't see more of that. maybe i'll get lucky and the brothers will play this song this may.
Oh my goodness 😀👏👏👏. Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
like early Neil Young, but yet your own. The song made me happy and sad all at the same time ....Is that good.??? loved it!!! Thankyou
I love this version! It is just so soft and sweeeeeeeet!
love the strings playing that beautiful NMH sound!!
So beautiful! Thank you!
i love this song, i love these boys. i love that these boys did this song.
i think if i had to pick one song if the question was what’s your favorite song of all time kind of a silly question but this would be it. this rendition in particular. can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all. my favorite lyric
a treat to hear this after a long unpredictable week. again.....
Showing once again that Seth has one of the most beautiful voices in American popular music today.
I FUCKING LOVE THS
Scott looks like he's fading into another dimension.
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all 'round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keepin' here with me
What a curious life
We have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees
Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
But now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all 'round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
I've watched this a million times.Thanks Mike!
Excellent cover of an amazing song...
How have I never had this recommended to me lol??? Absolutely great cover.. 8 years later haha. I feel like I've seen every avett brothers and NMH vid on youtube
i literally screamed when i saw this. LONG LIVE MANGUM!!!
almost as beautiful as Neutral Milk Hotel themselves. RIP
This is such a beautiful song and a fantastic performance.
This is pretty damn impressive. Lovely layering of sound as the song goes from verse to verse.
No words...just goosebumps...
This is so goddamn beautiful I can barely handle it.
Damn how have I never heard this cover? Fantastic!
Holy crap.... awesome song covered by an awesome band. This is killer.
brought tears
I truly enjoy their cover very much! Beautiful Music.
I find myself going back to this version almost more then the original which is already a masterpiece. This is like someone painting a Davinci that has just a touch more pleasing qualities to your eyes.
so perfect.. Seth, your voice is one of an angel
God I love the original so much I didn't think anyone could top it but holy shit! I'm in love with this.
Thank you for this, it is a great cover of a great song. :)
my thoughts exactly. i cried while watching this, no joke.
This is perfect
Holy shit that was beautiful
Love his voice
I forgot how much I love The Avett Brothers :')
Oh my goodness, the boys do it again. Amazing. I'm kind of speechless right now. Love it more than the original, which is really saying something. Just beautiful.
Awesome cover! Thanks Avett and Neutral Milk Hotel!
I can't believe i found this. Two of my favorites together.
Seths voice is flawless and Scott just looks epic in the back there. This video is extremly well done. Loved it.
sweet and lovely
This is fantastic. Saw this live in Fayetteville last month. Incredible!
I can never decide which I like better, Avery or Aeroplane...all I know is my life completely changed when I discovered them both 5 years ago. No album has ever impacted me like that and -Im in my 40's.
AHHH THIS IS AMAZING i love the Avett brothers and this song, this is a great cover
Neutral Milk Hotel and The Avett Brothers, I don't even know how to feel all of this joy.
beautiful!
Yeah I saw them in October and it happened, it was magical.
The idea of pledging one's life to a nation and worshipping its flag is extremely empty in my eyes. To me, this track in particular captures the soul of America that many have forgotten. God bless you lot.
Finally captured Crackerfarm style. Thank you so much for this, Mike! NMH is one of my favs. They do a beautiful job!
I think they nailed it!!...love NMH, love Avett...although I pronounced their name incorrectly for years, and now hate saying it right
My high school musical tastes how now officially merged with my adult tastes. Mind blown.
This is what I love....back to their roots. When it was them breakin strings all over the place. Their out of tune melodies along with the lyrics when all combined together sounded.....well.....perfect. First time I saw these lads was in Tampla, Fl in a crowd of about 200 people. They came out for 3 encores. Ill never forget that night as long as I live. Boys, I love you, and I always will. But enough with the drums and piano. Yall were like nothing I had ever heard before. And now....
