  • I mean, typically, you either don't know of the Avett Brothers or you love them...

    No one I know that has heard of them dislikes them...

  • Seriously, I am curious who came across this song and disliked it.

  • If this was a song it would be a good song.

  • checking to see if i should these dudes at penn state this april

  • @ryansample301 do it

  • @ryansample301 They put on a great show

  • damn. now i have to find carrotfuzz's comment

  • Totally different looking people without beards.

  • decent tune but the hook smacks of blatant pandering to the hipster crowd so ubiquitous in kings county. which is probably smart anyway cuz these guys dress the part, so they may as well make some money off those they have pretensions of fitting in with.

  • can't stand the corny "scratched film" filter thrown on this... its obviously digital video, they should've messed with it more, or just shot it in film or been ok with the look of video, what'evs

  • Got free tickets to see these guys at Illinois State University.

    Didn't go -_- Then again, this is the only song I know by them.

  • *promptly begins searching for comments about pancakes

  • I'm three months old and this is my favorite song

  • 74 people weren't let into Brooklyn 

  • I dont know how many of you like the foo fighters but if the avett brothers and dave grohl did a song, it would be magical.

  • This is pretty good 4/5 stars. Just an fyi, I'm a metalhead. It's nice to hear some real musicians in other genres.

  • Why the hell are the two top comments about pancakes??????? on a song like this????!!! maybe on a Ke$ha song but not here!!!

  • @jthrelk Kesha does love pancakes!

  • thank you, Avett :)

  • It really is a great song. Speaks to the heart.

  • i literally cried the first time I heard this song. beautiful song.

  • I have the same bowl that he's eating cereal out of in the beginning ... weird

  • Jesse,

    You somehow hate the Avett Bros, so I know you won't see this, I want to write it anyway. Our relationship has grown so much. We went from purely physical to an in depth emotional bond with one another.Sometimes we have some hardships, but no problems that aren't solved in a few minutes of talking. I know you feel actions speak louder than words and that is why you don't say you love me all that often, but you said it last night. And I could feel how much you meant it. I love you too.

  • @LisaErinBrown get out now

  • Comment removed

  • dear world, were all doomed, but at least there is people that still feel something real. i dare you to make fun of me or this band. cuz ill find you. its going to be the american holocaust, cleansing the country of impurities

  • @brianthelion1414 please don't compare the Avett's to Hilter. Not cool

  • @brianthelion1414 OK, what is your definition of impurities, you dirty hippy?

  • watch?v=KlH4kQIFTYo such good music

  • lol vevo's advertising rihanna on this... maybe they should try somewhere else...

  • I kinda think they're straight... deliciously straight.... but it doesn't really matter, does it? All I know is my plates have the same pattern as his cereal bowl and that makes me feel cool. :D

  • @llaurellama They are all married to women and are very manly men. When they aren't on the road touring they are working hard on the farm. I know, I'm their neighbor

  • "I" and "love" and "you" are easy to say, but harder to mean, the more you same them to different people.

  • It speaks to me as a human being ... my father once went to Brooklyn, so...

  • i just had to scroll through 6 pages of comments for carrotfuzz's joke... damn you youtube!

  • where did they get their yellow Lab? Kannapolis had a good breeder there

  • Its sad that with fame, also comes a bunch of assholes with opinions. Bleh.

  • @chadt420 What makes you think that they are gay? All i see is good music with lyrics you don't seem to understand and a few people who are being close-minded.

  • Well if it's true what these people say, and Brooklyn won't take you in; then surely you will be welcome here in Denver Colorado.

  • hell no Brooklyn wouldnt take'm.. aint nothing but Closet homos there so they couldnt possibly outwardly like good music lol

  • Trust me Brooklyn won't take you. So don't even bother coming north

  • @Pmorrissey35 Brooklyn zoo either....

  • @Pmorrissey35 Why in the hell would he want to with assholes like you residing there? 

  • If you were a pancake you'd deserve extra syrup....

    oh yeahh

    

  • Crazy good...

  • I wrote a book with lots of Avett references...it's free for download on amazon until January 8th. 'Slammed' by colleen Hoover. If you are an Avett fan, get it!

  • Katy Perry is looking at the Video all funny.... I think she is just Jealous...

  • I was listening to this the moment I decided to leave my first loveless marriage...and marry the person I'd fallen hopelessly in love with (who is now my wife).

  • Natenick101, Umdid you hit your head on something hard before you posted your comment? Even if you didn't hit your head, I think you need some help, your comment is both confusing and down right pointless no offence.

  • If wishes were omlets wed all be filled with bits of cheese and ham

  • i wish i could be this heartfelt, this poetic, maybe i would have better luck with finding love.

  • i and love and this song

  • jon lajoie lmao

  • @fob199 Fuck yes haha!! I've always thought that he sounded just like jon haha XD Every time I put them on in the car, my mom tells me to turn it off because she thinks it's going to be jon haha

  • jon lejoie sounds exactly like this singer.

  • Comment removed

  • 64 people have never found it hard to say those three words

  • Where is the "Love" button?

  • Even katy perry is watching this video XD

  • I found the Avett Brothers by mistake, and I have to say, it was a very happy mistake. They're just one of many things my daughter and I agree about...these guys are great, and destined for big things.

  • here's your frggin stock market a22 wholes

    

  • I would buy this song if it were on Google Music... just saying ;) Long time fan of the Avett Brothers

  • This song is beautiful as well as this video. I love how the Avett Brothers' songs have substance and meaning to them, i kind of have to pinch myself everytime I listen to them. What? This quality music in this day and age? Love it <3

  • listening to lady gaga and all the other pop crap is like having sex with a condom on.. sure it fills the spot but there's no feeling, dont fucking like this! i just wanted to tell a funny

  • met these guys in a parking lot in dallas. Such chill guys. 

  • if this song was a pancake, itd be an amazing pancake.

  • @MrCarrotfuzz You just made me really want pancakes...

  • @MrCarrotfuzz Come up with your own things to say, you dull jackass

  • @chriscampesinos if this song was a fish sandwich itd be a good fish sandwich. there

  • @MrCarrotfuzz If you were a pancake you'd be a humorless pancake

  • @kenanalcorn I used to be a pancake, until I took an arrow in the knee

  • @kenanalcorn if you where a jerk you would be........ wait, you already are O__O

  • @kenanalcorn so you could say his pancake joke...

    fell flat.

    YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH

  • @JerCoolBeans amazing.

  • @JerCoolBeans Hahahahhahahaha thats funny as shit!

  • @wakeforest94 Haha, thanks, man. Or woman... but I'm guessing man. I'm not great at guessing. I am mainly good at making terrible puns. About pancakes.

  • @JerCoolBeans lulz.

  • The bowl in the beggining is the same kind of China I have!!!! AAAA! IM FAMOUS! :p

  • How could anyone not love this song. It is simply amazing!

  • This band is my camps theme song <3 All the counselors like it, and it's in all the videos. I love it <3

  • greatest breakup song ever!!!!!

  • Fluffyrabbit26, yes I do love cats and every other animal on Earth.

  • @MsCatlover1994 , As do I.

  • these motherfuckers got passion

  • Helloissarah, the genre of this song is called music, not trying be a jerk, it's hard to find nowadays.

  • I want to drive through the back country roads with all the windows down and this playing on the stereo.

    The Avett Brothers and Mumford and Sons changed my view and opinion on music, and I could never go back.

  • This song pulled a whole lot of emotions out of me that I thought were buried or at least bottled up enough to never come back up again.

    I had to pull over in the car for a good cry. I have no idea what in this song specifically triggered it, but I think it is the "Three words" part. Though the very first set of lyrics had me entranced.

  • These guys give me goose bumps everytime they start to harmonize. Incredible.

  • I absolutely love this band, but is it just me or does it seem like this song and Head Full of Doubt sound very similar beat-wise?

  • I baked and listen to the son and swore the each musician was phasing in different tempos. It blows my mind that it heard it like that

  • what is the genre for this type of music. I never know how to describe it.

  • VEVO can suck up on my d***. Keep it coming AB.

  • hahaha im 13 and i listen to whatever i want to

  • Fluffyrabbit26, Ijust had to tell you that i love your user name.. i'm assuming you love fluffy rabbits, I do too.

  • @MsCatlover1994, Thank you! I do love them very much. And I'm assuming that you love cats, as do it.

  • I understand no one likes VEVO but why does this song only have 1.5 million, this is nonsense. Such a good authentic song

  • I am absolutely addicted to this peaceful music. I can't stop pushing play. This music always calms me down and cheers me up. <3

  • I almost cried at the end. I really understood the song

  • These guys need to team up with Josh Groban. Together they'd be just amazing.

  • this song actually completes my life. i listen to it everytime i feel like im failing. <3

  • I FKN LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

  • the douche bag from LMAFO is staring at me and making me feel uncomfortable.... i just wanna listen to my musicc..♥

  • Hey...I LOVE this song..especially the piano!! I heard it at work one day (Sirius-The Spectrum) and I could hardly wait to find out who these folks were. Lovely music..Thank you, Avett Brothers...PEACE

  • This boy I have a little crush on likes this band, so I'm checking them out. I like this song :)

  • @MelodicMonicaMK

    Me too. LOL

  • @MelodicMonicaMK I feel like such a loser haaha oh welll!

  • theyre okay not amzing but def not bad

  • very nice!

  • If you like The Avett Brothers, check out Considering Anyone Present on Facebook!

  • Avett Brothers are one of my favorite bands ever!! I was stoked to see that a lot of their music is featured on the Colloege 101 playlist on Spotify

  • simply fantastic.

    Fuck all the haters.

    I will seriously fight all of you.

  • Terp - this was written on their first trip to Brooklyn for a gig. It was as far as they'd ever traveled for a show and they were feeling a bit overwhelmed.

    Definitely about Brooklyn, NY.

    As far as locations in the video, it's probably a wee bit cheaper to shoot in the western piedmont of NC rather than in NY.

  • I'm 13 and i love the Avett Brothers.

    I seem to be the only one in school who doesn't like pop or rap.

    This genre of music is so much more meaningful.

    And it comes from their HEART.

    Not someone else's.

    They inspire me.

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe I don't appreciate your slander of pop and rap. Here are a few rap songs in which I find meaning: Latinoamerica by Calle 13, The People by Common, Seizure Boy by Watsky, Makin' My Way by Strange Fruit Project, and most of the other songs by all of the aforementioned artists.

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe Go to Facebook >>>> type in "New City Rival" (one of their biggest influences is the avett bros, glad to see people like you! Especially so young!)

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe smart girl, youre gonna go far

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe Good for you for not concerning yourself with what seems to be popular. Be yourself. Walk your own path. Follow your own heart. It's much more enjoyable and rewarding.

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe we need more kids like you

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe You're not 13, but you do shamelessly play to the obvious likes of a youtube channel. Keep these comments off the site

  • @WINFIELD32750 How do you know if he's 13 or not? He might've made an account in order to watch flagged content. What is so shameful about "playing to the likes of a youtube channel?" Whether it's just for likes or it comes from the heart, it doesn't matter. The fact that he listens to the Avett Brothers isn't good enough for you?

  • @ReeAsian It doesn't come from any heart, its everything someone who likes this song wants to hear while ensuring no one else will be offended.

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe You are the coolest at that school. Without a doubt.

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe I'm 13 also...it's the same way with me! and definitely agreed <3

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe OMG UR 13 NO WAY!?!??! THATS SO COOL. UR SO MATURE FOR UR AGE!!!!!!! LIKE OMG NO WAY.

    faggot

  • @brendanownsu wow...

  • @brendanownsu Typical /b-ism but it still made me laugh xD

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe I'm the same way. I'm 14, though. Everybody loves Eminem and Wiz Khalifa and shit, and me and my best friend are the only people in the school who like this.

  • @gagedanielson I'm 15 and I think that the best way to enjoy music is to look at all genres. That said, I can say that country is fantastic, rap is excellent when done well, and rock and roll is just fine as well. The problem is when you decide that one genre is better than all others, it's not the genre that's great, it's the songs.

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe Hate to be the one to break it to you, but it comes from somewhere else.

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe its the same for me! everyones obsessed with like katy perry and justin bieber!

  • @AvOrIsMyNaMe hey! me too! only im 12...

  • I saw this live the night before last <3

  • I assume they were singing about Brooklyn, Wisconsin. Since the entire video was full of farm/country scenes. I think I saw the Brooklyn (NY) bridge in one shot, but perhaps that was just stock footage for filler.

  • check out Foxtrot and the Get Down, folk/blues band out of philly. real music man. Check out "Better off this way" on youtube and foxtrotgetdown.bandcamp.com for all their tracks!

  • only way to decribe this song, Amazing

  • Holy hipster, batman.

  • I Love The Avett Brothers! Check out Citizen Genet. Very cool vibes!

  • nice license plate(:

  • @raymondfeltonfan Hell yeah!!!

  • Thanks to Pandora, I am now an addicted fanatic. :)

  • saw them in concert twice amazing!!!! great music, great words

  • The lead guy's voice sounds exactly like Jon Lajoie (songwriter comedian)

  • @abienz22 being a big fan of jon lajoie and the avett brothers i never put it together til you put it together,but your are right their voices are very similar

  • Going to avett concert!!!!! super excited
