Seth Avett sings, Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) by Billy Joel

[13ratchet]

i love this cover listened to it about ten times,can't wait to see you guys june 26 vancouver jazz fest.

[MurdCow]

Seth's rockin' the side dip, and still can sing with it in!

[19bjohn]

@MurdCow Not true...

[cluedo1]

Okay, I prefer Billy Joel's version. But that doesn't mean that this cover is bad. In fact I like how much emotion he puts into this. And I also like the song choice. It really shows what a cool guy Seth is. :)

[loveunc40]

sing to my heart seth

[fanfanfanjbieber]

Addicted to wAtching this. I may have a problem.

[acousticdaydreaming]

this so so freaking amazing

[letsallmakenoise]

i wouldnt call it a mancrush, but i adore this dude.

[BbbyRob30]

I love how their always has to be comments from children on here regarding someone's looks... or from adults...who knows... I see great talent... but the beard does help convince me...

[draconius25]

This man is so good looking he almost seems make believe.

[cgonzan]

Sick brotha! BJ would be proud. Best cover I have heard. You and your Bro are sick.

[Electricchris1]

yeah anthony let mumas skirt go and make your own life ack ack ack ack ack

[MrElusiveSpectre]

anthony works in the grocery store i know all the words by by hart attack ak ak ak ak ak ak ak aak aak aka aka ak

[1padget]

100% BAD ASS!

[Futterja]

pure talent

[stalkerowl]

I literally can only assume that the 3 dislikes were from little old blue-hairs who got their grandkids to look up Billy Joel's version, and were disappointed to find out people made covers of songs. I can't picture any other reason why this would be disliked.

[jiminy54]

hell yea, thats what im talkin about. a talented, tasteful musician coverin a great song. long live the avett brothers!

[NovemberBlue84]

love this

[fartchunk]

no beard, no like from me.

[jessebean13]

@fartchunk Sir, if beards = likes to you, then please pardon yourself. Just go to sleep, my man. Cause I'm nothing short of thankful for this hard worker. This is the perfect space for us to express our love for the music, and you're just a sorry man. When I drink I listen to the avetts, and I keep listening, and it goes on and on. Cause I gotta find my love, but you just a distraction # 74 on my way beside the yellow line. You need to go die, die, die. Alas, I love you still.

[paulcbruce]

awesome, but of course not as good as BJ but still awesome x

[dookiekong007]

CAC CAC CAC is cussing in Vietnamese fyi

[jacosam62]

Great video, great cover. Does anybody know what cameras Crackerfarm uses?

[jdhfcp]

@jacosam62 5d MKII

[cgriffi2]

the 3 dislikes came from those with beard fetishes...

[hoovrbrt]

Just beautiful!!

[TheNaturalAcid]

Badass.

[laroger0]

That was great, Seth!

[KannBen]

He looks good with or without a beard. Amazing song.

[shrxfn68]

3 people had heart attack, ack, ack, ack, ack, ack

[danajean369]

@shrxfn68 Or they've got a crazy mi mi mi mi mi mind.

[foleyxl18]

grow your beard again my man!

[jhorn110101]

I love cover songs as much as the next guy but let's not get carried away. Nobody covers any song better than the person who made it up. They know exactly how it's supposed to sound. Seth agrees. Just a tribute to Billy.

[brodank]

If youtube videos could get worn out like the grooves of old vinyl, this video would be completely worn out!

[SquirlyBastard]

@brodank I hear ya on that one !

[mrdubby18]

why are these dudes so good

every song i hear is just better than the other

[camycam178]

Having such a good time with it, It's fun to watch. :D

[rcweimer]

2 people don't like cadillacs

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

I'm also very out of the loop so be gentle folks lol

[boogerbear223]

@NoDestinyLive4Now

eeeeek. no lol. he's seth avett of the avett brothers. i don't believe he's ever been on any reality singing/music competition shows. he's too good for those.

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

@boogerbear223 Thanks mate! I've never heard of them but I'll have to find more of their stuff.

[thevj001]

@NoDestinyLive4Now We are not judging... but you gotta get with the times! The Avetts are here to change the world.

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

I don't watch TV... Is this guy one of those reality singing/music competition shows? He's good !

[kenzadelphia]

new respect for this guy, nice job with this song. Critics be damned Billy can write a song, and very few cover him well. Nice interpretation in his own style.

[jefflanolin]

I never knew Ben Affleck could play and sing like this. Well done!

[cstakolich]

My two favorite things in one video. Yes.

[jeffhenderson74]

must be easy when ur that damn good!

[ufoimtc]

Cool.

[991med]

Very cool!

[tonybrooksmusic]

Better than the original.

[ctoregan]

Damn he's good.

[sisk61]

1 person really needs to move out

[PecattaMundi]

@sisk61 LOL agreed!

[skywalker606]

i thought this was a terrible cover

[atomicaleb]

@skywalker606 Everyone here values your opinion.

[peaceis]

@skywalker606 -" singing the songs we're embarrassed to sing-may you never be embarrassed to sing!" I'm grateful they sing anyway!

[Th31ntoxic1]

It looks like he's really enjoying this.

[porchnunez]

this cover is amazing! Seth you are the man!

[dingoesatemycamera]

bliss.



[lillost]

Saw them perform at the braves game yesterday! AMAZING!

[Peter71]

AMAZING JOB!!!!! I love that song but now I love it more.

[dancesportgirl21]

so much soul

[londonheaven]

Great cover song, performed with only a guitar and his voice....superb!

[bdeauxx]

who disliked this video! i will hunt you down!

[mdr1013]

so awesome.

[ErinJunior]

Lessee, a good ole Carolina boy singin' a good ole Jersey boy song... or NY boy or whatever B. Joel is. Amazingly fresh take on a great song!

[92Kelso]

he didn't do it better than billy joel... he did an amazing job but lets not get too carried away...

[likitsweetly]

uploaded on my birthday.... guess that means sumthin'.... love this cut man

[MrChrismeyer05]

I just pissed my pants

[MissMollyFunsize]

Pretty sure I have viewed this 3,000 times just myself.

[pleasepardonyourself]

Billy Joel would be pissed because Seth Avett just played his song better than he could.

[hopulikit22]

@pleasepardonyourself Exactly!

[dookiekong007]

@pleasepardonyourself don't even compare anything to the original

[HannahRenee23]

Haha, Seth's such a stud.

[chrishickie]

why would billing joel be pissed?

[hopulikit22]

If I were Billy Joel I would be so pissed.

[socalsugar]

@hopulikit22

Why is that? A talented young man played Billy Joel's song in front of a hand-held camera out in the woods and then it was posted on youtube. Doesn't seem like that big of deal. Why would this make Billy Joel or anyone "so pissed"?

[hopulikit22]

@socalsugar Please see pleasepardonyourself's post. I was being sarcastic.

[socalsugar]

@hopulikit22

It's cool. I was just a bit confused by the statement.

[hopulikit22]

@socalsugar =)

[mtthwksr]

Can give you a heart attack ack ack ack ack ack ack *shakes head violently*

I love it all.

[BaKoN93]

i love the description of this video

[TABrmayes]

In my opinion this is just another example of an Avett brother covering an orginal song better than its owner

[MissMollyFunsize]

Whoever disliked this is insane

[babywiener]

amamamamamamamaaaaazing

[jeplow486]

One person needs a house out in Hackensack.

[brodank]

ahhh cracker you cut his hands and guitar out of the frame!! for some reason i think you did that on purpose

[bryceman111]

@brodank This will get you pretty close to it I think: tabs.ultimate-guitar (d0t) com/b/billy_joel/movin_out_ver­2_crd_875864id_24092009date.ht­m

[brodank]

@bryceman111 - thanks for the link! i already knew the chords, i just like watching guitar players hands when they play a song.

[bryceman111]

@brodank Ah, gotchya. Yes, I know what you mean. The cut-off is a tad odd.

[smon93]

This didn't surprise me, it sounds like an Avett song :D

[phillyjewel]

OK, now I love this song. Seth-a-magic!

[jakesakook]

i need my fix of crack.....erfarm

[sexmagician222]

this is amazing, love this song even more now.

[johnniedig]

I cannot stop listening to this. Great song to begin with. And then you put Seth Avett on it and it becomes fantastic.

[kimr24]

I absolutely love this.

[kaddy3232]

so awesome

[themusic8424]

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[cljsk]

Great work......Thumbs up !!

[OutWanderin]

WHAT CAN"T THEY DO, Seth always has that look on his face (Smerk), so funny! I first noticed it at Smith Opera House up close! I always wonder what he's thinkin! Bet he and Scott both would be a blast to hang with!!

[TimPmotherfucker]

I could watch this over and over again. I love crack-ack-ack-ack-ack-acker farm.

[nickzahn]

Sexy!

[lovetheavetts]

perfect

[Rachel4100]

i love this song! haha.. i dont like how its zoomed in so close on his face tho.. i want to see what he's doing on the guitar.. so i can do it too :)

[MrStrusz]

If an Avett sings in the forest, and no Crackerfarm is there to film it, does it still make the trees happy?

[tarheelmtl]

@MrStrusz Deep, man..........deep

[ellenfar]

@MrStrusz One of the best comments I've read on Youtube in ages, made me smile, thank you x

[acwebb1]

@MrStrusz

Yes



[gonzoflake]

I love thi ong.What a great cover

[Sherr1923]

Pretty good :-) But definitely not Billy Joel! 0.0

[eleanorhorner]

Ahh, one of the best songs sung by one of the best person!

[Copper3024]

@sopant Out of curiosity, what makes you ask? I'm missing the connection.

[sopant]

@Copper3024 ..Look up the song "You Oughta Know" by Das Racist. 

[kingmonkeychris]

I like how Billy Joel's accent slips in to Seth's on certain words. Just shows that he must really love the original. Refreshing in a world of ironic covers.

[mike1892]

@MrStrusz I bet it does.

[typewriter37]

my head just exploded from all of the WIN!!! YESSSS!!!!

[WillowLady80]

Strange... it's like a colliding of two of my favorite worlds... Long live crackerfarm!!!

[avettfan4211]

[Lionandpsalter]

[dirkdiggler213]

i don't think i've ever woken up to see a new crackerfarm video posted the same day. this is a great suprise:)

[TheNamingOfThings]

I think I just had an out of body experience.

[KayciOrr]

I wish I had my own personal Avett to sing to me every night. 

[brnghkmrs]

[ohnothatsnotgood]

[Crzyrocker11]

[brodank]

[ShananaShawna]

You know I was totally singing along.

Is there anything the two of you can't do?
