Tumbleweed by Avi Kaplan

[ScottyMLover01]

If I were close enough to your age, I would marry you. Just saying. And while I'm commenting....

Music to the rest of the world:

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?"

Music to me:

"Sometimes I feel like a tumbleweed..."

Say no to littering! Listen to Avi!

[Ravika18smith]

more more more... You did amazing! I await more videos... love the picking.

Ps. your smile is priceless and pretty eyes on top.

May GOD Bless =)

[drowsybrowser]

Dear Avi: You are so talented it's unfair.

Sincerely, the several thousand girls who now have a crush on you.

[rosey525]

Gosh golly, he is so adorable. I have had a wee little crush on him since the sing off, but this just solidifies it. In Pentatonix he is fantastic but then come to find out he has a singer/song- writer/indie side to him (which I always suspected). Swooning...

[febsta555]

If this guy didn't get tons of women in highschool, I don't know who could

[SchmallyJ]

I confess, I'm a Pentatonix fan because of Avi.

[DblDee4Me]

<3

[chihuahualover39]

Absolutely beautiful, you are a great singer songwriter. Don't ever let anybody tell you differently. You have a God gifted talent and I'm sure your parents are very proud of you,

I know I would be.

[hockeyrus35]

this is amazing. omg i was wondering if u could send me music for me on this at nahirniakandryi@yahoo.com. that would be so cool

[nata3210]

Great song. You got me at hello. hahaha keep making more awesome music! :)

[alibdolly]

its official...im in love with you! when can we have babies?? HAHA!!! Avi you are amazing!

[Ardy1125]

@manders76 ...no lie there! You and me both! I'm the classic Alto II, that can sing up to Soprano I, but I still don't have the range he has!

[renjilover13]

I'm so glad I procrastinated on writing my paper long enough to find your channel and even better this video of you! I can't wait to hear you sing more!!!

[MakeUpChick3012]

make more videos. you're perfect <3

[daftlikejaaack]

all of what @ishallcallhersquishy said AND he's cute. what the hey, man.

[MegaAnimeQueen]

Will you marry me? (:

[xsaycrackagain]

You're absolutely perfect <333

[mberlynn]

This might be inappropriate (EARMUFFS)... your voice speaks to my reproductive organs! You're a beautiful artist.

[CCP42]

You're the man Avi. You're a great bass and songwriter. I'm a big fan. Can't wait to see more

[JackSR51]

I feel like this should be in Sons of Anarchy. Big Time. Nice work Avi

[BeckyRenee14]

HOLY CRAP i didnt know you could sing like this....!!! its amazing its just like a shock

[guitargeekette]

Tears man, that brought tears. You are truly talented. You are yet another delicious slice of the awesomeness that makes up the Pentatonix pie.

[DorkforOrch]

It's a good thing you're famous now!

[DarkGlacier08]

O.O6  thumbs up

[johnnyull]

You remind me of when Peter Criss wrote and sang "Beth" and then Paul, Ace & Gene were like, "Fvck"! Basically Paul never took his lead gig for granted again after Peter laid it down. Good job.

[janetlynn324]

Oh my goodness. This is amazing. Please continue to post more songs. You're voice and guitar playing are amazing. Is this maybe something we could look forward to at the PTX concerts, which I'm dying for, btw.  Simply Amazing.

[LittleGohan]

I always hear you with your low bass voice and singing that way, hearing you this way really impresses me alot!

You should sing more often like this! But keep on doing your bass your way to awesome to stop doing that!

[Tasha1805]

I can't get over how talented you are! Your range is fantastic. Love it!

[areteeque]

This is better than I expected... No, this is great! I'd come to one of your solo concerts, but I'd prefer to see PTX! all togehter

[babybunny140000]

Avi, dont take this the wrong way but ........ you are freakin amazing :D

[BrokenDaisyChain]

Reminds me soo much of Ben Howard, its beautiful..

[pattykins10]

um so like ... upload more videos of your singing? Yes? OKAY! :D

[imjaspr]

I know that you know that you are talented so I won't waste your time swelling your head up even more but I will say that I hope to be seeing alot more of you and your singing long into my future. Although I know you are not Pentatonix, you are an amazing piece of that instrument and I would love to see more of your lead vocals.

[yeahthatsme74]

Avi, this is absolutely beautiful! I could listen to you sing all day long. You are amazingly talented. Thank you for sharing your music.

[heathsfavs]

Dude, you got nothing to be worried about. That was freakin awesome!! The song, the playing, the vocals, the range... Damn dude, talk about a triple threat. You totally rocked it. Looking forward to more original stuff

[Ardy1125]

Avi, I know guys who would kill for your range!

[manders76]

@Ardy1125 I know *girls* that would kill for his range (myself included).

[linkous309]

Dear Avi,

Please, for the love of God, be single. So I can marry you. That voice of yours will sing lullabies to our children.

Love,

Your Future Shiksa Wife

[2012SuperG]

You don't have to be alone, Toots! (Winky Face!)

[GleefulChibi]

OMG Avi you are so adorable. You're like a chocolate lab puppy that sings bass. So awesome.

[peoplehour1]

You have awesome range but ur bass is a lot stronger compared to this. Maybe I'm just a deaf bastard that needs to be enlightened.

[TheGolf1215]

Dude how big is your range man!!! that low note in dog days is a LOW A like is there a limit to you???

[watyoulooknat]

.........either i am dreaming the best dream ever or i realllllyyyyy need to meet avi and the rest of ptx one day.

[shalthepastryqueen]

...Okay, I understand that your bass is an essential part of Pentatonix, but you seriously should have a few more solos<3 You have a beautiful singing voice, mad guitar skills and a marvelous range (especially for a 2nd bass)! I have so much adoration for you! 

[lennygaliscool]

I Love You.

[TheIzzeJay]

I am even more in love with you Avi! <3 :DD

[SchmallyJ]

Thank you for letting me make you play to me over and over and over. I love the replay button

[brittanymichellej]

Avi =) <3

[melissajoel1]

your guitar intro is in the style of Eddie Vedder...your voice is AWESOME love you!

[TimMcVey1]

He sure ain't alone anymore! He's got four of the greatest friends ever to back him up!

[bjoshuanoah]

Reminds me of Alexi Murdoch

[jadoreletheatre]

This is true music, too. His dynamics and tones and emotion and guitar skills and smoothness and lyrics and riffing and delicacy with power of the most effective level.. AND he wrote it. AND his beautiful voice. AND his RANGE. AHHHHHHHHHH SUCH AN AMAZING PERSON.

[jadoreletheatre]

SOOOO TALENTEEEEDDDD AHHHHHHHHHHH HE IS PERFECT AND CONFIDENT AND SEXY AS FUCK, MAN :OOOO LORD!!

[82shellyrae]

You are beautiful, *shakes head* in every fricken way a human being can be beautiful....<3

[samfrikinrocks]

reminds me of Kenny Wayne Shephard! LOVE<3

[TheM3talH3ad1]

God damn, Avi. I didn't know you could play guitar so well. Not to mention a bass voice is so elegant when singing in head voice. Good job!

[NoaAvitalSINGS]

I love you and your voice!!!! You are amazing and I can't wait to see more from you, i'd subscribe 10000000000000000000000 times if i could :)

[panicatthesymphony]

[Kestelia]

Woah.. just woah.. that was beautiful man.

[ryanmary110307]

[monomax]

[amc7897]

[SlicedNToasted]

Avi you got 9 more like this with just you and your guitar because I would buy that album. Just amazing.

[cass0bella]

that was just what I needed.

[audgepodge09]

I think I'm in love.

[SuperMeadow13]

OM MY GOSH .......avi i LOVE your voice so much and ever since pentatonix was on the sing-off iv'e ALWAYS loved when you sang bass:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[awesomepossum36]

I love your voice! It's so smooth. 

[AlexDitto]

You have an amazing, amazing voice. I just found out about Pentatonix from the "Somebody That I used To Know" video, you guys are great together, but man, YOUR voice is just... so nice. Sing more, please!

[jackjohnsonluver22]

Im surprised to hear this. I was expecting a bass voice. Man was i right



[pwebsers]

I'm a bass, and you're one of my idols. man, i wish i had such a smooth head voice/ pissagio.

[ryanmary110307]

@pwebsers im an alto and i wish the same. soo clean right?

[unstrungzero]

This is absolutely gorgeous, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Pentatonix fangirl. If I'd never seen the show or heard the group, I would still be bowled over by the utter beauty of this song and your _voice_. Your range is incredible, but I'm sure you already know that. *g* I agree with the people saying you should do an arrangement with Pentatonix. Put it on the album! More videos, PLEASE. <3 <3 <3

[VIDEOMAZE1]

NICE!

[cantankery]

Hope to hear an album of this. Nick Drake would approve.

[MKAYAH1]

Wait wait wait... This the dude from pentatonix tht had the strangely attractive deep voice... Wow his voice is gorgeous :)

[JessieJay13]

Not ONLY is your voice fantastic, you also play fierce guitar. Any OTHER aces up your sleeve? Are you, like, a neurosurgeon in your spare time?

[msfitn316]

Not only do you have a beautiful voice, but that truly is a GREAT song! I want to hear it on the radio!

[ClassyPatty]

Wow. Thats all I can say. Your tone is flawless. Please, do a group version with the rest of Pentatonix and take the lead. Your voice is so wonderfully satisfying. I'm amazed at you range and how simply you can go through it all. Please,  keep singing so we can keep listening and loving it.

[irishguy331]

your range is ridiculous

[PalmerWilliamH]

Avi, please keep on making great music and great videos, both with Pentatonix and as a soloist. This is fantastic.

[cooburns]

Avi, I downloaded this song and listen to it in the car almost everyday. It makes me feel calm. If I'm having a rough day I just put this one and it really helps. Thanks for being so amazing.

[mopingmyrtle]

YOUR VOCAL RANGE IS THE SIZE OF A BLUE WHALE!!!!!

[1719birdman]

@mopingmyrtle that's what she said



[gepp15]

Avi, seriously, are you a god?! Please, do tell, we MUST know. Awesome video.

[GleefulChibi]

Damn, Avi.  You are all kinds of awesome. I didn't think it was possible for anyone to hit notes that low!

[TerryChannle]

u are the best and u guy wont the sing off

[SingingDivaLR]

Whoever disliked this is clearly deaf and blind!!!

[playswellwithraptors]

Oh, Avi... What a beautiful, velvety voice, and such a talented guitarist. Your range is absolutely incredible and worthy of envy. You are a remarkable individual and I look forward to seeing your career as a solo artist and with Pentatonix grow and flourish. Best of luck to you. :)

[melrocha91]

you are an old soul for sure !! such great talent <3

[PlacingNoLimits]

I probably account for about 100 views I keep repeating the song over and over again

[ryanmary110307]

THANK YOU I LOVE YOU MOST OF ALL!!!!!!!!

[SchmallyJ]

This always reminds me of Hard Time Killer Floor Blues in Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Love it, Avi. thanks so much for sharing your art.

[ryanmary110307]

@SchmallyJ YUP. total agreement there

[regiraptor]

Hey what happened to all those super low vocal runs you did at the retreat this year?? hmm? lol love you avi! <3 regina

[14PrettyAka1908]

[michaelalove05]

This is proof that there is actually talent in the world. The fact that you can do what you do in Pentatonix, you play the guitar, you have an AMAZING range, and you're not an autotuned chipmunk. Thank you for showing the world what real talent really means. You're amazing, Avi. All of your fans adore you, and don't ever stop. You leave us speechless. :) not to mention, you're also super attractive. (had to throw that one in there) :D

[bxsinger87]

[LilPandaBoy]

[yesicanx10]

Is there anywhere I can buy this song? It is good enough to sell. There aren't many people who can change from head voice to chest voice so smoothly. God has truly blessed you with an amazing talent. Please make more videos.

[InescapableDreamer]

You have MAD SKILLS on the guitar! Way to go Avi!!! Woot woot!

[lalune23]

That was absolutely beautiful, Avi. Really, you are one very talented young man (gave me goosebumps)! I wish you all the best and success in your very promising music career, and look forward to much more from you, solo or with Pentatonix!

[dubbleshot]

[tfacia]

DID NOT EXPECT THIS ! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !



[svmimms]

Your so cute!!!

[svmimms]

I watched you during the Sing Off. Who new you were sooooo multitalented.... Absolutely Amazing!!!!!

[Sarahpurrincess90]

Instructions: 1. Go to Google Images and type in Kyle Orton 2. Compare to Avi 3. Be amazed.

[fanofMe67]

THIS NEEDS TO BE ON ITUNES!!!!!!!!!

[cooburns]

I love him as a bass but whoa I didn't know he had this in him. I mean wow.

[hhlam11]

Where can one get a copy of this song? I can't find it on iTunes.
