Murder in the City Music Video

[callmeTruman]

playing this at my school talent show in a few weeks :)

[tribsunus8]

Brett, you're an idiot. 

[BrettMcCuddy]

Faggot murdered in the city.

[mickjnrsweet]

@BrettMcCuddy Fag

[SuperKelsiee]

11 people don't have ear drums.

[ElmerDurrer]

if i get murdered in the city...please play this song at my funeral

[haydenspears19]

i'm proud of you both

[21shunte]

@TWet3726

*second to none

other than that I couldn't agree more lol

[ilikemyguitar1]

i have a hard time shitting in public.

[ReadDoug]

this is amazing music!!

[iRoxorzUrSoxorz]

@williamgriffin96 and the dislikes are just revengin in their names. not sposeda do that

[EpluribusUni]

there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name

[Beastify9pointO]

THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS IS SOOOO AMAZING AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[futbolbabe2014]

This song brings tears to my eyes.

[PackNic]

It is a matter of national security that this song only has 186k views. the world would be a different place if it knew what really mattered.

[danthemantompkins]

very rare to find those pipes, that talent, that heart in one person...let alone two brothers

[beckleyj]

Pains me to see a Miley Cyrus video ad come up after I watch this video. It has happened 5 times in a row now.

[ehschlect]

@beckleyj No shit man

[xRasberryJam]

'like the love that let us share our name' that is so beautiful.

[ThePixelRiot]

I want 1:25 framed and hung on my wall :)

[LitMatch]

I pity the seven people that "disliked" this. They are probably stupid Nickelback fans.

[fender1248]

@LitMatch Nickelback blows

[1lovelikewoe]

Oh seth (:

[Mondayislame]

I want to be their best friend :/

[cassidyys2]

oh gosh i love this so much. i can't wait to see them :)

[Bjack900]

Why in the name of balls is Miley Cyrus a suggested video. She doesn't come anywhere near the greatness of Avett Brothers.

[paulmen01]

These guys played this song at the "Jazz Fest" yesterday, how appropriate for

New Orleans! A song like that matched the City like "Red Beans & Rice"!

[irishblood62]

this song and if I die young the band perry should be the national anthem for hope the young folk who keep topping each other a generation of almost wasted youth,it should be the wake up call you yanks need, to put an end to the daily tragedy of mindless gang culture and give kids a chance to dream and to achieve something for their kids and next thing you know a cop raps your door the two things most financial Immigrant's who seek your shores is to achieve, all gone in a blink of an eye SHAME!!

[TheDumdowgge]

Only discovered these guys recently... D'oh!!

My friend has bought me a ticket to see them on the 22nd June in London for my birthday....I have good friends.......

[huntermcentire]

This is real music

[chusma0]

simple yet amazing!

Chloe :)

[Bigdickninjanightmar]

Good stuff dudes

[teddy254420]

@TWet3726 your right this band could compare to the big names, when it comes to writing meaningful songs but when it comes to popularity it will take them time to be up there with them

[ChadwickRyan]

Scott and Seth... without a question two of my favorite song writers and performers. 100% heart and passion every single time. Real artisans.

[fotonuvo]

Intravenous.



[dlquinton]

Four people are hellbent on revenge. No matter the wishes of their loved ones.

[UpHillGrindProds]

This is a great song. But this video is absolutely beautiful. It really captures the tone of the song and conveys the feel incredibly well. Who ever shot or produced this video has talent. Anyone know who made this one?

[1kill2eat]

lol my student teacher in eng comp sang this song on his second to last day

[EpicTaleMedia]

Two words: Fucking amazing.

P.S. - Love how they laugh while playing/singing

[MusicIan423]

4 people have weak soul

[russbrownmusic]

I like the more recent version on the live album where in the 3rd verse he changed it to "tell my Daughter I love her, and tell her mother the same"

[rtoadietodd]

Not scared to show their feelings,,great piece of songwriting..

[2013wolves]

this is a good song

[KarenEng]

Awesome! :)

[DownOnwax]

There are soo few bands that actually touch my heart like the Avett Brothers do.

I hope they keep on keeping on for as long as I live.

[YESSMAAM]

Hahah notice Seth's face when Scott sings "..I sure did get into lots of trouble, they seemed to let the other go.."

These guys are really amazing.. Saw them live in LA.. I swear they're even better live! They have so much energy out there!

[sandamcuteh]

This is a great song that I dedicate to my family..."If I get murdered in the city, go read the letter in my desk. Don't bother with all my belongings, but pay attention to the list. Make sure my sister knows I loved her, make sure my mother knows the same. ALWAYS REMEMBER THERE WAS NOTHING WORTH SHARING LIKE THE LOVE THAT LET US SHARE OUR NAME!!!!"

[inamance]

a genuinely beautiful song!

[JeffersonWMMusicFYS]

If They Get Murdered In The City We Would Be Without Some Great Musicians(:

[dvssk8er3]

faggot murdered in the city?

[veryirishtube]

They are amazing live. Seek them out.

[AlbinoGiraffe123]

I love the Avett Brothers! And I think the singer is quite sexy for that matter. ;)

[vidman180]

The beards are awesome! Haha

These guys are amazing

[MemphisMafia13]

these guys are my geheimtipp xD

[0boardcertified0]

I love Seth at 1:26.....No way! LOL!

[Salkin22]

Scheisse, die sind so derbe gut!

[teenytulip]

i could get lost in those eyes for day and in the music for that matter.

[jinkinsl]

Everything is perfect and beautiful in this video: the melody, the lighting, the expressions on their faces, the vibe, the simplicity, the message, the piano, the tapping foot, everything but those beards:)

[npltweak]

thanks to fanny for introducing me to these guys....cant wait to see them in june

[Chermerneko]

Great! Stupendo! By the way of sound, let me show you my regional and folklore music from Brazil, special accordions, etc.: 4 crazy videos:

- Carlito, Baduy e Taquinho - Rio Araguaia

- CARLITO BADUI E TAQUIN FÃ GERALDO

- Voninho e Marcelo

- Tio Mederico- Dvd Os Serranos 40 anos- Sempre Gaúchos

[ericcartmill]

Amazing! I am truly in awe of all their songs. The lyrics are completely raw and true.

[zitsos]

do youll think the avett brothers have ever, like, murdered somebody?

[HNpedersenTube]

this is beautiful, made me shed a tear.

[Adamtt84]

awsome song....

[danielc121162]

that is one absolutely beautiful song

[ReadDoug]

@danielc121162 true!

[danielc121162]

@ReadDoug thanks,.... Wish I could remember what I wrote for you to say that. don't have time to look for my original post.

[TWet3726]

wow. these guys are right up there with bob dylan when it comes to writing lyrics and music. theyre stage presence is second to known. ive never seen a more authentic, entertaining group of gentlemen. very impressive.

[BlakkDuv]

Reminds me of me and my brother. And how we play.

[nanavic59]

fantastic

[bjl318]

I want to dedicate this song to family of Kyle Fleishman, hope they find and bring him home to rest. GOD BLESS.

[neglej]

I just bought tix for their show in April '10 at Santa Barbara Bowl. I cant WAIT to see them live!

[StaticProductionsUK]

beautiful song.

awesome beards.

10/10

 - GrantStatic

[WheeliePete]

Brilliant song. Inspired songwriting. These guys are awesome live too...

[filtersoft]

Jesus.... that blew me away. I wish I could sing like that about my family

[MrTrippyhippie]

rofl im doing a cover of this song. with the same capo XD

[zenlikethat]

First time I ever listened to this song, I was rolling down the highway with tears streaming down my face. Still gets me every time. I love my family!

[loverer45]

sends chills all over my body

[KOC23LBJ]

its pure beauty the harmony of southern brotherhood is shown in their lyrics and live performance's.for any brotherhood its good music and i dont even jam this type but these guys can do it all."make sure my sister knows i love her make sure my mother knows the same remember there is nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share are name"

[SweetSavor1]

Two brothers making great. simple, beautiful music.  Is there anything more perfect?

[sheilareynolds]

yes there is...

those amazing beards!!!!

[msfrankie]

thats my capo! haha. the resemblance ends there...WISH I were good like that

[Shank5]

simply perfection

[ChewYourGrouse]

Frankly, I think these guys are pretty lame. They grow these beards and are all heartfelt, but the music is in no way challenging or developed. They're a bunch of unshaved frat boys sitting around rubbing each other's butts. No wonder they're so successful.

[TheyTookMyRoflCopter]

Then don't listen to it..? I don't think you're being strapped down and forced to hear the music and watch the video.

[redrusky09]

Then please make a cover of it, I would like to see how well you could do. (no sarcasm, i really would) You don't even have to grow a beard, or rub someone's bottom. It's quite a challenge to be heartfelt, and to make other people feel like you do...

[myhandisapokemon]

i dont mean to be rude, but your comment disgusts me.

They are living testement that music doesnt need to be complicated to be good. if you dont like them, thats fine, leave them be, and allow the people who do like them to like them.

[AutumnCanvas]

I wouldn't put it that way. I think the Avett Brothers are a testament that music must actually be good, to actually be good. It sounds strange, but have a listen to any popular radio station and you'll see my point.

[brodank]

2:19 thru 2:45 .......i dont even know what to say. makes me wanna call my mom and my brother

[indierockdoesnt]

unbelievable

[joeyacdc]

everytime i hear, tear fell from my father's eye, it really hits me

[polyesterrrbride]

This is such a beautiful song.

I'm so excited for their new album on Tuesday. Is anyone else checking them out in NYC on 10/17 at Terminal 5?

[dyeasbdie]

hell yeh sat night is gonna b sick

[Cullinn]

sweet song lads

[Hwork22]

I love at (1:24) where seth shakes his head and says something after scott says "they seemed to let the other go".

[redwingtrekie24]

this SONG i just heard it and I LIKE it ALOT! its SO PEACEFUL and old time~ish...if that makes any sense!

[YankeeClipper77]

Makes me miss my dad

[UnknownNope53]

at first i don't realize but when i listen to the song carefully..

its like wow..

i can't describe it with any word that i possibly know.

[drunkenemu]

i love their jewewlry <3

[kingredferd]

i think your talking about his banjo picks.lol

[sarabrighty]

Can't wait to see you at forecastle

[randallclay]

Unbelievable song...great video. Good job guys. Keep it up!

[HighonFire420]

I'm gonna be camping way up north when they roll through my neck of the woods, shame I'll miss them.

[airbornegasguy]

I cry like a child when I hear this....excellent job guys! It was an honor setting stage and sound for you in Nelsonville, Ohio those years ago...thanks for being real.

[agwellin]

These guys are really bad at sucking.

[melodiousmusing]

@agwellin haha...what a perfect way to put it!

[FarSightOfTheMoon]

@agwellin They also suck at sucking at sucking at sucking at sucking at sucking at sucking at sucking.

[hishighness11]

[EJR914]

Damn, I love these guys. Its hard for me to play my guitar and sing this song without getting a little choked up. The lyrics are just so touching and brilliant. Just incredible. I lack the words to describe it.

[nickraublog]

beautifully shot. i love the redrock.

[xXShockeyXx]

not bad

[snizdizzle]

this song is amazing. the lyrics are so loving and wholesome. brilliant

[obsesor]

Beautiful. I have two kids and this really touched me. I will admit I cried. Beautiful in every sense!

[keithmegna]

So great to see this! Nice one Crackers....cya soon!

[kayak420]

This song makes me think of my brother.

Just found out yesterday that he is gona have a kid. Im finally gona be an uncle. First addition to the family since me 22 years ago.

"Always remember there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name."

[guitarplayer85]

congratulations! that is wonderful news :D

[bryceman111]

Definitely one of the best lyrics ever written in my opinion.

[rlgomezleon]

It's beautiful on video but a 100 times better live! I loved the duet you did in Athens a few months ago. Can't wait to see you again!

[EJR914]

I'd have to agree with you. I've seen Scott play this live twice and it is way better live. I love this song to death.

[blakrising]

The Second Gleam

[almstfamushippie]

[arkgunslinger]

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing, Mandy

[jewdemon]

I've listened to this song over and over. I've got in on CD, but somehow this video makes me want to cry more than the song itself. Just their facial expressions kill me.

[wesleycorn]

May you take this energy and escalate it, what a dream man, this is greatness.

[maddox2882]

Fantastic. Truly, "It is the sound of a real celebration". Never stop making this

[iamaseagull]

one of the most amazing songs ever written,

[mommm1]

I first heard this in Dewey Beach...I knew then, it was special. Thanks you.

[greeneyedseason]

Greensboro will be epic.

And this is the most beautiful song in the world, its right up there with November Blue.

[SeeJayC]

i wish i can grow a beard like that

[dustylvstunes]

One of your best songs ... and you have a lot of BEST! =)

[CowboyStuuu]

Scott with his hair short has a vague likeness to Stonewall Jackson.

its very vague...

but its there!

[krabbers]

this has got to be the finest song i have heard in a long time
