Seth Avett Sings, Angeles By Elliott Smith

[hake5691]

This is my favorite video on youtube.



[DecodeIndie15]

So brilliant. I think Elliott would gush with a hidden pride. Bravo.

[ak47drummer123]

Unreal...



[jmg7738]

gives me chills....

[termokop]

Love how youtube recommends Skrillex - Scream N Shout in the sidebar.

Totally the same song! Totally not you freaking 1010101 internet piece of crap technology.

[backtothewild1992]

man, i love coming home from work and watching a crackerfarm video. ah, all is good

[TheDeadhorsepoet]

brodank...i HOPE Seth does cover one o my hubbies songs because EVERY one of his covers on crackerfarm is better than the originals....but...

SHHHHHH don't tell him i said so!!!! lLOL!!

Seth is just Darling!!!

[ifitsthebeaches27]

hauntingly beautiful- the world stops when this song begins. never ceases to amaze me

[jmg7738]

goosebumps....

[coryuprr]

The gretest living musician playing one of our greatest lost musicians song.

[jefflanolin]

@coryuprr Greatest living musician? Did I miss the memo that Bob Dylan died? 

[rofcay1]

@jefflanolin Seth is " The Natural"

[brodank]

i HOPE Seth never covers one of my songs, because EVERY one of these covers on crackerfarm is better than the original!

[artyen]

@brodank As much as i love the Avetts- and I love them a lot- Elliott's original version is untouchable. This is beautiful in it's own right, though.

[brodank]

@artyen - right on! i had never heard of Elliot Smith until this song, i went and listened to some of his stuff, just didnt really do it for me, Diff'rent Strokes for diff'rent folks

[artyen]

@brodank well said- Cheers mate. :)

[UnreleasedOriginal]

@brodank no. just NO.

although he is one of the few, if only people that actually played this song the way it's supposed to be played (look past the fact that he's playing it slower). it's very hard to find anyone who actually knows how to play this song.

[matthewcliftonvlogs]

Life. Complete.

[SnarkAttack12]

that was great... btw that's a cool guitar! anyone know who made it?

[sleepmaster33]

Awesome cover. Sounds very unique but still has the right sound for the song. Does anyone have the TAB for this ? PLEASE

[llb772]

I love you for your music. Your awesome.

[grizlybrad]

Oh my god. Im at a loss for words. Miss you Elliott.

[Benjoboy]

This is the best version of Angeles I've heard other then by the legendary Elliott Smith himself. It's a difficult thing to pull off a good cover of Elliott but this one really shines through... nice job Seth. Could you perhaps work on a version of "Talking To Mary" from the posthumous release New Moon, disc 1? I can imagine that song sounding really good from your voice and guitar as well -

[robjaws1000]

Beautiful. This rivals the Mason Jennings cover (google mason jennings angeles). So sad, but so good. I like to think this would make Elliot Smith smile.

[grizlybrad]

@robjaws1000 Actually saw Mason sing that live here in Portland was amazing.

[DotDoubleU]

@crackerfarm ?

[motivel8]

Props for going with Lucky Three's "broken arms" instead of the album's "poison arms." I always thought the former was a much more profound and touching sentiment; being battered, tired, and hurt rather than toxic and dangerous.

[MiddleRoar]

Amazing! It makes me sad the world is without Elliott Smith but excited we now have the Avett Brothers.

[MiddleRoar]

Amazing! It makes me sad the world is without Elliott Smith and excited we now have the Avett Brothers.

[TheAlan67]

ENJOYED THANKS:)

[FJG325]

Wow brother. You made the original sound like a bad cover. Great job!

[sefa2021]

@FJG325 come on. i mean he did a nice job, but come on

[PetrichorDay]

@FJG325 That was a pretty embarrassing comment for you to have made..

[PentryGletts]

I'm starting to think I may be responsible for about half of the views on this video.

[buzzkill1969]

@PentryGletts I hear you. Think I've wathed this video about 50 times. Amazing song !

[ihatesigningup10598]

I prefer the solemn feel of this to the original. Sorry, Elliott.

[mee1408]

beautiful cover.

[ShelvingUnit]

an old favourite redone by a new favourite. amazing.

[JPDillon]

Very good cover. I prefer Elliott's original faster version, but this slower one has it own charms. And Seth sings it nicely.

[damonmn]

Perfect.

[eshipita]

my favorite artists blended together. made my night

[solidheir]

hmmm, yer listen to the original again after this, I feel alot of the energy is lost, but still a valiant effort!!

[stratgirl79]

@DookNun Yeah, I listened to Smith's version. It is crazy awesome. This a nice tribute by Seth, and his voice is well-suited I think.

[wordy87]

and...replay. and again. and one more time. oh why isn't there a "loop until the end of time" button??

[mjspdx]

Plus he said "broken" the way elliott did when he played it live

[mjspdx]

One of the few covers that I really feel captured the tone of the original

[chrisfIew]

Dude, this is great. Like, really great.

[hdfatboy19]

Really someone disliked this?!? 

[ifitsthebeaches27]

this is mesmirizing

[stratgirl79]

I am in love with Seth and this song. The tabs for this are insane! I have a feeling the next Avett project will be a lot darker if the last uploads are any indication.

[DookNun]

@stratgirl79 This is a cover. The original is more complex!

[buzzkill1969]

Speechless !



[twinklefrufru]

mad love

[aroneous]

no words can express how much this means to me.

[riceandbeans643]

YES.

[ForLoveLoveLove]

The beard has returned. All is right in the world. :)

[Iddybud]

Gorgeous. Thanks so much for posting this!

Seth keeps Elliot alive and beautiful - a great tribute. Love, love.

[BOOSTRED]

your voice, plus that guitar, its so addicting! i wish i could be as good as you, bravo sir!

[BrianMikasa]

That guitar is fuckin sick!

[mcantrell150]

THIS.

[rwlancaster1978]

Only an Avett can take a plywood box and do a tune such as this. Yet another act of genius

[zimmerman1960]

Anyone know what kind of guitar he's playing?

[thewaiting08]

@zimmerman1960 It's a Gibson Style O....very old guitar, probably 100 yrs old.

[mxpx003]

This was so freaking brilliant that I will let slide the fact that Elliott's name is spelled without that oft-forgotten second "t".

[westbylc]

crackerfarm and the Avetts are the best!

[faydean1]

Hate that I'm missing you guys by one week down on the Gulf! Will you play Nashville before our longstanding Halloween date!!?? Oh, and, BEARD!!!!!! YAY!! And Elliot Smith songs are perfect for you dear man.

[leejbarker32]

I love the way this seems to have been done in his garden shed!!! Where man has been doing his best work for years and years!!

[girlobsessed]

Okay, I can die happy now.

[kdubsva333]

Seth has such talent to take a song, keep its original tone, but still make it his own. This is a beautiful version of Elliot's song. Thanks Cracker!

[birdcalledhope333]

ahhh this is awesome! I took my last final of high school today, it's now officially summer for me, AND crackerfarm uploaded a new video!!

[madieadie]

Great cover!

[bradenbob]

Subscribing to crackerfarm was the best thing I ever did.

[DejaDamascus]

so happy you brought back the beard!

[joannaholder]

Thanks for the beautiful tribute to Elliot Smith.

[glasspetals96]

Wow, this was great.

P.S. where's Scott? He hasn't been in a video for a sometime now.

[raforsaken]

@glasspetals96 He did just have a baby.

[glasspetals96]

@raforsaken True, I forgot about that.

[hopulikit22]

I would love to have been that large can of lima beans on the shelf when this was played. I would change my name to: Swooned Beans

[iamtvv]

I Love this man

[blasto2236]

This has been one of my favorite songs for such a long time. Great to see this.

[bergiebergie77]

[justingarman]

WOW.

[bergiebergie77]
