I was laying in bed supper pregnant the night this aired and had absolutely no idea what I’d name this baby. This October Brooklyn turns 10. I can’t wait show her this!
I am 39 and using my GI bill to go back to school to be a nurse. Just got accepted to LIU Brooklyn. Starting a new life and this song will be playing when I load the truck up with my stuff to my new life in NYC.
It's inconceivable that 35 people could dislike this. Maybe they're not really people.
Whats more amazing is since the four years you posted this, only four more people have disliked it.
Seth singing, "oh but it's just a waste of time" is pure heaven.
A young Severus Snape on the piano. ;) I love this band.
Haunting, soulful uncomplicated music.
I dont want to be a hipster but I have this awesome childhood memory where I went to see them at the botanical gardens here in richmond VA I dont think I was but 7 and my mom got me to go up and get their autographs and it was awesome cause it was a small show and I got in touch with them a while back and they said they remembered the show and they only got paid 100$ and it made their day that a 7 year old wanted their autograph XD I still have the CD cover they signed
I love this band because they actually make me feel something every time I hear them. Sometimes they bring up old memories that I have. I can't even articulate my love for this band.
The whole song he stood there so strong willed, like he could stop a train, while singing and proclaiming his feelings. It really says something about his ability to express emotions and be okay with that and what the song holds behind it.
you are very bad with words
I remember it like it was yesterday. I woke up on the couch just in time to see Scott standing there with the banjo. I was immediately hooked when they started singing...
Agreed.. And they still perform with the same "feeling" Im happy for them.. Its time good music gets recognized..We've all had them to ourselves for long enough now its time the world has them.. They will help a lot of broken hearted people. There could be someone down as down but hears this then hears something else theyve written and it saves their broken heart. Thats what they did for me and I hope the same for someone else.. This album is an EPIC "Gleam" record.. God Bless you and the Avetts
You can tell his lyrics mean a lot to him :)
First of all, great song and performance.
Second, I agree: great musicianship.
Third: arguably one of the most spectacularly mistuned banjos of all time...
As a banjo player myself it was painful to listen to (luckily the mic was too low anyway)
There’s gotta be something wrong with their instrument manager this is the third live vid I’ve seen where his banjo was out of tune
The gift of their music. Enormous.
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different, we love to talk on things we don't know about.
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age.
Sweet song!
To everyone that owns the album, be sure to read the beautiful written segment inside the case. It was written by Seth, and it is GORGEOUS.
Pretty much the best band on earth. Enjoy them.
I don't know why, but I really love the mistuned banjo there. It just adds a touch to a "weathered" feel. Makes you think that everything around you is gone, and you're just living alone in a shack, in the middle of nowhere.
Nothing like the harmony of brothers They do it just as beautifully as the Everly brothers.
Every song by these guys gives the chills worse than a MN winter.This is music at it's best.
The best ❤
yes, he is like in the wrong key with his banjo. they tune their instruments down so they don't break strings when they play fast. so proud of myself, just learned that today from a musician friend of mine :)
Art. Creative. heart. Free..... Feelin' it? Good for you.... Not so much? That's good too...... that's what art is all about.
Avetts' putting the hometown on the map folks.
the avetts at the top of their game.
hey, i saw them at grassroots as well!! i first saw them at grassroots 2005, when there was absolutely NO ONE there, and then in 2006, and in 2007, i got to hang back stage with them for a few hours and it was absolutely amazing =)
It's not about hitting every note perfect, it's about feeling.
Great song live or from studio.
Their older stuff is amazing just as this new stuff.. This without a doubt one of the most beautiufl songs ever written by anyone... This band is incredible...
These guys are UNBELIEVABLE live.. you can't tell from this video but man, do they rock out! And it's so sweet to hear them thank the crowd over and over again for being there with them.. they make me want to find a nice North Carolina boy and settle down, lol.
people just hate when there use to be favorite band gets exposure like they can be the only ones to enjoy them...calling them sell outs and or posers or what ever Seth and Scott has changed their apperance many times since there beginning and that doesn't change their unique talent no matter how they look and I say I would like the whole world to hear them not not a few selfish and jealous people . I am glad there not in there back yard where I can't hear them!!!
This song is a mellow tune. They still have a ton of energy, it's just a chill tune. It's amazing too. They haven't lost anything, they are just trying new things which i think is great.
Love the group . Believe it or not . I Learn about them through a book I read .
Martha Hulse who wouldn't believe that?
avett brothers and mumford & sons are both absolutely amazing bands in their own ways. no need to try and decide which one is "better". they're both fabulous.
perfect, perfect track, perfect perfect record and a perfect explanation to anyone who wants to know what real music is....
I saw them live in July, killer band.....everyone needs to see them live
It was really important that he say these words clearly so everyone could understand just exactly the words he was pronouncing were, and in what sequence.
My favorite band atm...i cant stop listen to them!
i don't think anyone really has a need to worry about the Avett Brothers or their fans.
enjoy them and the time you have.
Proud Carolinian right about now
They are such amazing storytellers. They are right up there with Wilco and the Replacements as some of the best ever.
I know this is 11 years old but I love Wilco and the Avett Brothers both so much!
These guys can do no bad. Also, very real and genuine. Refreshing in this time of canned, over produced music.
Wow ! I've never seen this. A great performance of one of my favorite songs.
They remind me of one of my favorite bands of all time, The Counting Crows.
Saw and heard these guys for the first time last week (Sep 1) at The Gorge when they opened for Dave Matthews. Holy crap Awesome! I love it when they push their range and sing 'loud'. You guys are awesome! Off to buy some albums! Thank you again from Canada.
@TheatreFracture We, are headed north...
The words of the song have a special meaning to me. I was born and raised in Brooklyn and still have many friends and family there and around the NYC area. There's still a very large part of me that never really left, and frankly never will. If I knew then how much of the "Mecca of all Great Music" it would eventually become, I may never have left it in the first place.
If you like this song, you might like the album Emotionalism. They are great but most definitely cross genres.
You must see these boys! Remarkable shows. Love this band.
If you went through a breakup around 2009-2011, good chance you listened to this song.
Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons both wonderfully refreshing in their own separate ways...very "real" and God knows we need something real in the face of all the over produced crap out there today.
Love this just learned to play on piano good shit and the two brothers sound so good together
Yay! Awesome! So happy for those guys!!
I really like this they are a good band
Seth's hair looks so shiny and lush.
@mike33385 That's what I love about live music. Doesn't always have to be perfect. Just have the feeling and behind it.
well for one mumford and sons has got this irish pub beats that no one can deny is the greatest sound EVA!!!! gosh...
these guys are amazing every time.
well for one mumford and songs has got this irish pub beats that no one can deny is the greatest sound EVA!!!! gosh...
They're fucking magical! Bring on the wrong notes. Just goes to show that what? Oh. They're HUMAN! Fucking incredible.
Great song & wise words as I left my childhood sweetheart for the last time this last year ... sc
Awesome please come back to Florida guys we Love you here
i've just stumbled across these. And must say they are amazing. AMAZING!
Happens to the best. Heard it sung perfectly elsewhere.
Music isn't about trying to be the best.
they put on a good live show
The Dude on the piano reminds me of ashton kutcher when he was in "That 70's Show"
Amazing song.
Amazing band
they seem nervous here, but damn did they kick ass when they came back and played at the grammys
this is great stuff, takes me too warm afternoons with a fan by the window is a sultry New York...
Bad ass band
I Love You
How do you expect a group of musicians, with as much talent as the Avett Brothers, to pigeonhole themselves into one style of music? Give the new album a couple more listens. You'll grow to love this one too.
I hope they keep comin to the high noon!
you could always buy their album. *gasp!
They are equally, if not better live!
Well said!
my band of 2010
mumford and sons cover avett songs, and they use the kick with the lead singer, and are in similar genres. BUT the avetts kick their ass.
This piano dude looks like Crispin Glover in the movies where he had long hair.
I think I'm gonna marry someone from North Carolina...
We do have our gems.
The began with a punk rock and one day simply picked up a Banjo and slowed the rhythm and it felt right .
I agree!
i cant to see these guys in may there playing in cumberland maryland
these guys are the best band out there right now. Even if seth screwed up the banjo parts
i cant listen to any of their vevo stuff in my country? i should just pack up my bags already
@Warbrain88 i think mumford and sons's lyrics are soooooooo deep and they're passion is unrivaled. i've just started listening to avett brothers and i think i'm going to be obsessed with them soon, but they both seem to have the ability to capture complicated feelings more than any other bands i've found. and the reason i like avetts already is cuz they sound more similar to mumford and sons than any other band i've found; they're in exactly the same league
Dude on the piano is a hybrid between Eric Bana and Ashton Kutcher's hair on that 70's show. Anyway great song. Cheers.
The new album is pretty low key like this song. Nice performance.
SWEET!
"yeaaah mmkay ladiesandgentlemen"
you are right. I expect them to fit in many musical genres as they have in the past...that's what I love about them...you can't pin them down to one category. You are right, the new album, the more i listen, is good (not as good as Mignonette and Four Thieves Gone, etc. etc., but good). I guess I am just saddened to see their primary instruments changed on Letterman for the sake of Letterman...it seemed to be a very tame performance. I was expecting them to rock it out!
The Band part 2. love em though.
That's true. This was not a typical Avett Brothers performance, which is unfortunate for those who had never seen them before. Maybe they should have done Laundry Room. A little bit more energy in that song.
ohh brooklyn brooklyn take me in
Too Cool for Skool ...Grungy Punky Bloograssy Biutifuuul ...
They aren't going mainstream - their new cd sounds like their old cds. This performance was more mainstream because it was letterman and they are trying to get fans
summercamp 2011!!
♥!
so tame
Listening to them for the first time today. Nice and simple music, but doesn't soar to heights set by fleet foxes for the current generations of musicians.
