The Avett Brothers - Swept Away (Sentimental Version)

[piratechik23]

My wedding is in June and this will be my first song with my new hubby <3

[MakeMeMad2011]

This song is amazing..

Had this song play at my sister's wedding, and I just started BAWLING.

Absoulety Beautiful Song <3

[mbennettw1]

I'm seeing them in birmingham in march!! Like if you're coming too!!!

[sunsunflowr]

I think this may be the absolute most beautiful song I've ever heard.

[katiebower11]

My brothers and I are performing this together at my wedding reception this New Years Eve. Can't wait!

[LuggerOP]

@katiebower11 I hope you are having a fantastic day and that all your hopes and dreams come true! :-) You are certainly starting it with a fabulous song!

[shannonlovesbobby]

gonna be our first dance

[LMPLasVegas]

I MEAN EVERY FREAKING SONG THESE GUYS DO IS LIKE COMING FROM GOD HIMSELF! i just cant believe all these songs come from this one band! LONG LIVE THE AVETT BROTHERS!! THE NEW KINGS OF COUNTRY METAL!

[JLlamas32]

@LMPLasVegas

Yes they are wonderful. So wonderful, but country metal?



[foleyxl18]

2 people are going to hell. Nothing more, nothing less. To hit 'dislike' on what heaven, is to concede to hell. I think that's as simple as I can put it.

[jgm106]

in love with @3:11-til the end

[Cegeda13]

Great song. I 3 jenny

[aoldudy]

I feel the happiest i will ever feel when i listen to this song and die die die

[candy4124]

I heard this song for the first time this weekend and feel in love with it

[jgm106]

@candy4124 me too! i had no idea they had a sister who could sing too.

[johnniedig]

I would love to hear the three of them do a cover of "Long Black Veil"

[foleyxl18]

2 people were swept too far out. Fare ye well

[kelgonus]

What a band!!

[TheOMcN]

Never heard this version before - it's beautiful.

Who are the other vocals by?

[themissamericangirl]

@TheOMcN Their sister Bonnie! Thus the "sentimental" version..

[cstar75]

@TheOMcN The Avett Sister

[IdentityQuandry]

This is as close to heaven as you can get.

[Aquapello1967]

I would love to hear an Avett Brothers and Stevie Nicks duet. Wow! that would make my day, my year......my lifetime.

[IrishJewGangsta]

I just got their cd and I cant stop replaying this over and over. This song truly paints an acurate portrait of love in all its bittersweet simplicity. I can't even begin to describe the emotion it stirs within me and the memories of soft summer nights it calls to mind. One day I hope to find the girl who truly makes me feel as this song does and I will marry her.

[grungevig]

The female voice is played by their older sister bony avett. (i don't know it i spelled her name right but i know that that is her name). They are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[johnnaxlynn]

This is the song I'm walking down the aisle to!

[zachworley2248]

something about this song makes me wanna go throw the frisby with my dog.

[LittleBlackPitty]

I would like to say to jm5dg that my wife and I danced our first dance to this song. It was a beautiful acoustic version performed by a very dear and talented friend of ours. I hope that you have a dance as wonderful as us. We love you Chris, you are our favorite musician/friend/hippy!

[shmadsta]

Mmm love this. Does anyone know who's singing the female part?

[afinn7272]

@shmadsta The Avett Sister

[bddtmm]

Epic

[xxheralv]

0.08 = string just broke.

[faiskarlz]

This is amazing.

[mcgeehanmusic]

Hey check out me and my girlfriend's version of this song. (:

[hamiltonhochs]

dislike = 1 ?,,,, misclick... OBV

[williambonniemusic]

Probably the only group where I can honestly say that I love every song more than the last.

The Perfect Space, Shame, Ballad Of Love And hate, Murder In The City, Last Song To Jenny, I And Love And You.

They are truly one of the best bands I have ever heard, quite possibly the best.

[jordiebish]

check out Ellis and Anna Dyson's awesome cover to this beautiful song! just type their names into the search bar

[starma28]

I adore this song, even my 6 year old knows all of the words. It is so beautiful it moves me to tears, in the unlikely circumstance that I would ever marry this song will be played. :)

[JoshuahEk]

These guys never cease to amaze me!

[IUHoosiersBaby]

This song was written by their father. Such a talented family! This song is truly beautiful. I think anyone who is or has been in love can definitely relate to this feeling... I love the line, "As we dance, I know that heaven can be found." True love really is like that and like jm5dg I want this to be played at my wedding :)

[scienceguy88]

@IUHoosiersBaby

Did their dad (Jim?) write "Signs" as well? Two of my favorites right there.

[iAreRisingSun2]

i dont see how it is at all possible how someone could dislike this!?!

[PoshLumberjack]

They should collaborate with Regina Spektor. That would be epic.

[fridayniteribs]

@PoshLumberjack

we are sisters separated at birth: my favorites are Avett Brothers and Regina Spektor! IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!!

[PoshLumberjack]

@fridayniteribs

heckyes! this is so supercoollike i'm nerding out.

[avettbrotherFAN18]

this song can bring tears to my eyes. the avett brotheres sure do know how to write pure beauty

[lisamfitz59]

I Love The Avett Brothers!!! Looking forward to them playing High Sierra Music Fest July 2010

[lilmisblonde258]

this song and all these comments make me wish i was in love :( haha.

[farstriker4]

It's a beautiful song, but it doesn't remind me of love, the chorus seems touched with irony; makes me think of loss more than it does anything else...

[jm5dg]

At my wedding I want my first dance with my new bride to be to this song. I think I've found her too and whenever I hear this song or look into her eyes, the window of her soul, I am truly swept away. The Avett Brothers have the blessing of having a true understanding of that which is human. They accept fault and they concede petty mistakes, but they formulate their thoughts and desires on that which is eternal, in this life or the next.

[Sgreen0920]

@jm5dg

my friends first dance at their wedding was to this song...so sweet!

[jram2341]

@jm5dg Well said, I couldn't agree more.

[Dmanu22]

@jm5dg how's it going with the new bride? I love true love. Truly

[JoshuahEk]

@jm5dg I can't think of any better way to put it!

[anupcoming]

@jm5dg Your mail order bride?

[nornielovesavetts]

@jm5dg That is the sweetest thing ever! Do you have any brothers??? ;)

[stuckeylevi]

Barf!



[jeremyb251]

@jm5dg are you getting married Nov 13 in South Alabama? I'm playing and singing this song at a wedding then as their first dance song?? Maybe it's you and yours?

[DTO1974]

@jm5dg Okay, too much. Seriously.

[sgmace]

Whenever I hear this song I think of my wonderful wife Jody.

[johnwalterm]

Great song. I'm a fan... and it's in tune!!!

[radeon110]

i like their older stuff

not the studio produced

[sonyaedith]

@radeon110 I prefer their stuff before their older stuff.

[DarthTsan1987]

god this song is beautiful. i hope these guys keep it goin and never stop making music. it changes peoples outlook on life and really makes people smile and happy with who they are. fucking awesome. god bless the avett brothers.

[KBmusician89]

This song gets me every time! It's wonderful.

[WhOStoLeGitsum]

Best songwriters since Dylan...maybe even better, I like em better, feel it much more.

[033italo]

what more is tomorrow? than another day... is a big true, =)

[sunshine8nine]

Everything they create is pure and perfect. I will love this band forever.

[ImNoTLeavin2Day]

one of their sweetest songs! makes me wanna grab my girl and love her for the rest of my days!

[homerulepatriot]

[BashYouLongtime]

@ImNoTLeavin2Day Then do it!

[bradlom80]

[emilyxcaroline]

[FairlaneVox]

[emilyxcaroline]

[widlunds]

Bonnie, their sister.

[mmmmcosta]
