Became a fan when I read the inside sleeve of "I and love and you" Seth creates magic with his words and the images that you imagine create a painfully better world at least for a little while. Just go to Avett website and buy the albums. Everyone seems to gush about the beauty of the musice and yet you insult the artist by wanting it for free!
A refreshing video concept, an honest musician. Could this possibly be better? Even with a strap, let me tell you, it's easier said than done walking backwards AND singing AND playing guitar at the same time. Seth, you're awesome :D
Please always do videos like this one. We love all your unscripted, pure, non-produced videos. Silly effects and distractions take away from what you are doing. The Avett Brother's stand on their own. This video is AMAZING. It needs nothing more.
i love how on videos like this, no ones arguing about stupid stuff, just enjoying and remarking on fine music. i think it says a lot about the genre and the people.
@timeWILLtell15 - DzekRizzle152 can judge them anyway they want. i agree with DzekRizzle152, i am always more drawn towards seth's songs, i think he is a better song writter for my taste, but i like scotts songs as wel
I have been in love with the Avett Brothers for some time....my whole family is obsessed, even my 62 year old mother!!!! I am amzed by the talents of these gifted individuals daily......the more I find, the more I love!!!!
i do a cover of this song . please, check it out and tell me what you think

@timeWILLtell15 everybody is entitled to their own opinions and i agree with DzekRizzle152, although they are both great, i think seth is better one.

@jackiejukebox86 they're a bit more emotional and raw, which is so important in my humble opinion.
