Scott Avett Tries To Sing, Just A Closer Walk (With Thee)

[gbcktbug]

@microwavekitten c'monn, get outta here

[SmannaBanana]

I want to squish this video into my heart or eat it or something. AGH.

[davidnhc7]

That's the cutest shit i've ever seen. "C'mon sing it baby!"

[rifke]

How sweet she is. I love this.

[142jwilliams]

If that doesn't keep someone humble I don't know what will

[microwavekitten]

she hates Jesus songs too, i like her! :-P



[animedude107]

@microwavekitten way to be a downer

[phillyjewel]

Love love love this, in every way.

".. Hey Baby, just let me get this song out, OK? .."

".. but Daddy! Daddy, puh-please! sss-stop .."

Great version of the song + Best parenting skills ever.

[PepinaBailarina]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaad quit being so talented!



[codyoty]

They played this live in Boca Raton! It was so amazing!!!

[getyourMETALon]

you know i really love these guys when I get to see them, and i get the real response

but up on that stage... there is something about the business world that turns art to artificial.

[Tidycrankle]

Way past awesome .

[jb200008]

She just didn't want him to play. It didn't matter if he did something else, he just couldn't play :)

[IamtheWalrus35]

Well if this isn't endearing, I don't know what is.

[cheapbeersucks]

lmfao lol



[omajan09]

at 2:15, CrackerFarm if looks could kill!

[omajan09]

At :36 & :43 he looks off maybe for the Mrs? Funny!

[shanaynay7000]

I'm pretty sure his baby girl is the only one who doesn't want to hear him sing! This was a beautiful cover, Scott, but I laughed through the whole thing! adorable and hilarious! :D

[tahillia]

Well that wasn't the most adorable thing I've seen all day/week/month/year or anything. He's so gentle and patient with her. I love it! And she's adorable. Dems good genes!

[risandnicsmom]

Oh, if he were my daddy, I would be holding the piano open FOR him!! I love seeing people sharing real music and smiles with their kids!!

[preciousbrother]

This should be on their next album, daughter and all.

[PersonTree]

Who knew his own daughter was his worst critic!! Haha

[mexicanbarber25]

PLEASE RECORD A GOSPEL ALBUM!!!!!

[Solidferret1]

Apparently the story behind this is that she wanted her dad to play on the ipad with her. I think it speaks volumes about the kind of person Scott is though. I hope I have that kind of love and patience if I am lucky enough to be a dad one day.

[drusucks]

What a terribly wonderful father. And singer. I can't decide if this would be better or worse without his daughter running interference.

[heeeeyemjay]

HE IS SO GORGEOUS!!!!!

[insanestoriesinc]

so friggin cute

[SierraRossse]

This is far too perfect for word<3 So precious!

[Mrlivinlavalova]

im sharin this to my facebook....its hilarious

[KrazyMonk34]

Stupid little kid! let the man sing!

[mfcsocten]

i bet she wants to listen to Lady Gaga

[leahmariemusicful]

I LOVE THIS!

[c1ndylou1]

Best birth control ever. Keep the music coming!

[jeremiah15y]

This is fantastic... she must be a Taylor Swift fan.

[WindexWizard]

This girl doesn't realize how lucky she is

[clemsonchick8907]

"Make sure my daughter know I loved her..."

[nikkihoff]

Death stare at 1:49.

[xlamoremortelx]

I knew he was amazing, but to be able to continue playing when she pulls his hand away and is distracting him like crazy...that is just...I can't even describe it. That's true musicianship.

[ckent95]

not now sweetie, daddy is busy being awesome.

[reSPEKT1104]

cutest thing in my life.

[18akbennett]

Please release !! :)

[jjjplatypus]

Bubbleboy it's one thing to not like how Scott sings or plays, that's your opinion and you are entitled to it. It's another thing to say horrible things about a child. Kicking the shit out of a little girl is why she would grow up wrong. Patience and a smile go a long way with kids, Scott is obviously loving. You are really a bad person and I hope to god you don't have kids.

[CosiSky]

cutest thing ive ever seen

[omajan09]

Poor little Elenore! Wonder why she didn't want him to play the piano? I would LOVE to get an Avett Brothers gospel album!

[kenzaloo]

incredible.

[readysetrosemary]

Ah, poor little girl. Give up, dear. Resistance is futile.

[ethan12111974]

If you disliked this you dislike yourself man - take a look within and find the problem in you

[mcolleenhoover]

I wrote a book with a bunch of avett references in it. If you're an Avett fan, the book is free for download on amazon. You just need the free amazon kindle app and add it to your phone, computer or tablet. It's called 'Slammed' by Colleen Hoover

[kileysmith1975]

The greatest video I have seen this year,love it!!!

[AlexisKamille]

so cute

[ToDrownInMusic]

@bubbleboy099 Do everyone a favor: Get a life and stop trolling. Just because you aren't a talented musician and you don't have a beautiful daughter doesn't mean you should hate on people who are.

[PhotoGirl2792]

ahhhh so precious!!!

[mygrassisbluetiful]

This video is perfect.

[TheMuzz33]

this made my <3 smile!

[scaleshchess]

great song, besides the destructions lol!

after alot of struggling and 359 "daddys", I managed to hear the song!

[scnert]

hmm, it looks like 4 people hit the Dislike button by accident, honest mistake:)

[sko4cpg]

Can't help but smile at the end

[MrJstn12]

1:50...:: Deathstare::

[danajean369]

Dear Scott & Seth,

PLEASE record a gospel album.

Thanks and God Bless

[TheYellowochre]

@danajean369

they actually did one with their dad, under the name "jim avett and family", titled "jim avett and family".

check it out, it's good.

[danajean369]

@TheYellowochre Thanks!

[JoshuahEk]

@danajean369 I wish I could like this comment more than once. Their music touches my heart and I think to hear them do a gospel album would be wonderful.

[TheCheapestChic]

@danajean369 SERIOUSLY! that would be a dream come true!

[lawsonswan1]

@danajean369

Do you have the album Jim Avett and Family? It is a gospel album with the Scott, Seth, and Bonnie accompanying their dad Jim. You can get it on itunes. Pretty dang good.

[mamasaid5]

I love it!!

[firehousesoaps]

If he actually recorded this I would prob listen to it 24/7. Just saying.

[apollotreatingyou]

Does the little girl have aspbergers? One of the main tells for that is not liking loud sounds and have them hurt your ears.

[mjsem]

@apollotreatingyou Um, or a little girl just wants her dad to go do something else. That looked pretty spot on normal to me.

[Sashaismyname]

Haha I love this. Both Scott and Seth are <3..... Mannnn look at that beard... lol- love it! =]

[lowspark84]

What a great Daddy :)

[Es102794]

What an awesome Dad

[GNARLSON]

HAHAHAHA AWESOME!!!

i'm always stopping mine for mine.

you need a bodygaurd. i'll tackle her down so you can play.

hahahaha love this.

thank you

HAHAHAHA she slams the lid down.

done.

[youfacespace]

love this video. and Scott Avett

[yourfakemessiah]

my boy does the same thing to me.....

[Sheltweezy]

she is such a doll! If I was his child I would beg him this much to play a song.

[MouseEars32]

The only person in the world that is allowed to be that passionate about scott avett stopping in the middle of any song.

[atlasnevershrugged]

great job, crackerfarm. just one example of how outstanding your avett brothers vids are. great insight into who the guys really are. thanks.

[negacrow]

omg my son totally does this to me.

[heartchya88]

this makes my heart happy :)

love ittttt 

[MsRayneonme]

That might have been the most adorable video I have ever seen<3333

[campretrofilms]

this is the best.



[jaded1750]

shes got her daddys ears! cute :)

[MultiPoilkjmnb]

@hdtv125 avett concerts are very energetic and fun. you should definitely make time to go to one

[MultiPoilkjmnb]

OH YEAH AWESOME

[chriscalandrillo1003]

Classic. I thought I was the only one who's kids did this while i play...

[hdtv125]

i LOVE this video! scott's rocking the best beard, and his daughter is just too cute. ughhh i gotta get to an avett concert!

[basketcase5295]

Oh god. Death stare at 1:49

[cinderslug]

Oh man, I have contributed significantly to the number of total views for this video.. I just can't get enough..

[kufre355]

I think she might have his eyes. :)

[xnetix]

Soon she is going to be able to play like Scott and Scott will be crying for her to stop!

[AC1music]

I can't wait until the day the Avett Brothers go viral!

[MyBestiesrAwellsome]

This is adorable! PICK HER UP SCOTT!!!

[jessebean13]

I wish I was 5, so I could marry that girl when I get older, and get closer to scott.

[1MissBeccaBoo]

I was so happy to hear Scott and Seth sing this last night. <3 Brought me to tears. i hope they release a gospel album. :)

[cinderslug]

@1MissBeccaBoo Oh man, I would absolute LOVE. THAT. 

[MrOutlawCountry]

@1MissBeccaBoo You should check out the album titled "Jim Avett and Family" It is Scott, Seth, their dad Jim, and their sister Bonnie. It is all classic gospel songs. You can find it on Itunes and probably be able to purchase it on amazon or something. Hope I could help.

[dtapia92]

I literally watch this over and over everyday, sing it all day, and everytime I lead singing at church its one of the songs I choose. I absolutely love this! :) Thank you Scott, your amazing! Hopefully he'll put an album together of old Gospels, cuz I've heard the avett brothers do a few now.

[eligm04]

is wonderful, makes me remember when I was little and my dad played cello and i took it off him because i wanted to to play with my father :)

[CJTheReal]

She's just saying what we're all thinking :D

[horseshoes100]

Who are the 3 people who dislike this? I never want to meet you, ever.

[nickids93]

too stinkin cute

[ncsustash]

I have that same car seat. Just sayin...

[TOOKMYPLACE]

The look on Scott's face is a look that all Fathers have had with their kids at one point...one of unconditional love but a little frustration as well...been there

[penny80lane]

She wanted him to look at the IPAD with her, thats what Scott said, I met him in Austin this past sunday, I told him this video was so cute!

[StevanaCase]

LOL - that is fantastic. Glad to know it's the same for all parents. :)

[MagicalGreenDragon]

wait what he has a daughter? is he married or is he doing it by himself? i had no idea..

[eddieblackritual]

ahh thats just to funny

[grammak4]

How cute is that!!!

[iambee3]

Wonder what she wanted daddy to do if not sing.... beautiful little you have their Scott, you and yours are blessed indeed.

[squee243]

3 people arnt American

[bubbleboy099]

@squee243 arent american? are you kidding? youre implying im less american than you becuase i dont like a song? get the fuck outta here.

[horseshoes100]

@bubbleboy099 - you're less american because you can't punctuate. actually, that makes you more american. regardless, you're a douchebag for disliking this. a big fat douchebag. got it?

[bubbleboy099]

@horseshoes100 before you bash me for punctuation, learn to construct a sentence. you say quote "a big fat douchebag." and "got it?" neither of which are sentences, they are fragments. you also didnt capitalize youre in the first sentence ya dumb jesus lovin bitch.people like you crack me up trying to correct someone yet you cant even correct yourself. typical of a fuckin christian. now i know why the romans fed christians to the lions. they are just TOO STUPID. baa baa sheep.

[horseshoes100]

@horseshoes100 i said punctuation. i didn't bother with your horrible grammar which seems to have actually gotten worse and you still can't punctuate. the irony of your last comment is fantastic but far worse than your grammar is your logic and attitude. actually, i really dislike christianity but way to jump to assumptions. i guess you had to justify such hate mongering somehow though right? you're a big fat douchebag, got it now?

[cjo406]

This is great. I would love to hear more of these good old songs and some hymns. One of the tricky things about these old tunes is to not over produce them. Most of them stand well on there own without another party changing them up to fit the artist. Let the artist make their own little touch, then LEAVE IT ALONE.

And His daughter did distract from the song, but that is a part of life. No one is to be blamed. Good parenting.

[Squishy876]

0:58 is the cutest. He was determined to get that note, haha

[gsxr600night]

beautiful song. what better way to walk closer with than with family, especially your child. my daughter does the same to me when playing guitar. blessings.

That being said. i'd love to hear/see this done in its entirety. thx for everything.

[gsxr600night]

what a great song. what better way to walk closer with than walking with family, especially your child. my daughter does the same to me when playing guitar. what blessings. That being said.....i would love to see/hear this song done in it's entirety. thx for everything.

[hpfreakdotabby]

"Come on baby, sing it!"

[fiddlefaddled]

looks like scot's little girl might be up for a job at pitchfork.

[xFREAKAZOID9x]

even still..it sounds good.

[namastecanyousee]

That will be a treasure for them both as she grows. I thought he handled her with tenderness and humor!

[hpfreakdotabby]

This is adorable.

[tstrouserino]

Aaaaah. I remember those days with my own little guy..That was awesome.  And I agree with Trish, well played, Pops.

[trishthestalker]

Best handled tantrum ever.

[DasHinchen]

LOL she looks so highly displeased XD

[revpgesq]

lol... i think she prefers the a capella stuff. :-)

[snager80]

gratuitous image of my 3-year-old self

[mutantatoms]

Wonder where I can get the sheet music for this?? This particular version I mean....Anybody?

[dracopalidine]

one of my favorites to play on banjo heh



[ifitsthebeaches27]

im so impressed that he never hit a wrong note despite all the hand pulling!

[dharpify1]

@ifitsthebeaches27 actually he hit a lot of wrong notes... just saying

[boogerbear223]

@dharpify1 shutup

[nativenight]

I am really surprised that so far in the comments I haven't seen one retard who claims that what is happening in this video is somehow child abuse.

[wazzup039]

@nativenight omg this is clearly child abuse, he is not paying attention to the poor little thing

[galas062]

@nativenight how stupid! He is loving his daughter and showing her a love for music!

[MikeandKris09]

You do what you need to....to do what you can when you are a parent with little ones...

[TheGeneralCritic]

She must be an atheist. :V

[bdeauxx]

@tlh235

amen.

[Piggie822]

What a beautiful father and daughter. I'm sure she'll appreciate it when she is older. She'll have fond memories of Daddy singing to her, she won't remember pulling his hands away from the keys.

[marciecks]

This is why I love Avetts. They're real. She's precious, just wants dads attention. ;)

[Coffeesun2012]

she 's so annoying and cute (*°∀°)=3

[myobsession243]

I would kill that child. Ahahaha. But it's cute!

[reCupcake]

this has to be the most beautiful thing in the world, ever. <3

[shortcfarms]

that was about the cutest thing Ive ever seen!.. Im laughing so hard right now

[nabradcliffe]

wow n that is how good he is. btw the camera quality is super good. i mean the effect of dof n stuf

[MADDOG6400]

The person that disliked this was the little girl!

[aerixj]

I love how she looks at the camera right near the end there, as if to say, "This is all your fault, Crackerfarm." Adorable.

[gypsyangell]

everyone's a music critic...

[mlgneo]

what kind of camera was used when filming this?

[Dondarhosen]

you know you're good if you can play songs while battling a child

[jhorn110101]

this video warms my insides

[MADdwarfWorkshop]

The little girl made a youtube account and gave this a thumbs down!!!

[lilbandit85]

and he never missed a beat

[RoarsEcho]

Scott has a demon child? She doesn't want to hear the sweet serenades of her father spreading the good Lord's message? haha

Keep jammin' Scott, keep jammin'!

[starappleseed]

this is the best video i've ever seen!! they are so beautiful. thank you crackerfarm.

[heylookitslena]

Haha! This is so precious. She's grown so much!

[chadmillslive]

That's awesome...a scene all to familiar to me... See y'all next week!!

[stalkerowl]

Every time I watch this, it just gets cuter and cuter. I saw you guys last night at the Ted Constant, you were amazzzinggg!! (per usual) I wished I had floor tickets, but I got good seats. Thanks for showing us this video, crackerfarm.

[RickGoodin]

That was awesome..

[pbarnes20]

This video makes me so happy, and how blessed he is to have a daughter. She'll grow up and one day appreciate that Scott Avett is jamming songs for her.

[rainluv321]

2:15 she has scott's eyes!

[stevenc40]

@rainluv321 she really does. I'm so glad you caught this. watch the murder in the city video and pause at 0:05 and you can really see how similar they are!!
