  • guess what! being from fuckin excommie country, i have no vevo ads.

  • *Gasp* Misspelling around 2:00! *Cigarettte* NOOOOoooooo....

  • hey omegle girl, we a have a communication breakdown about this beautiful song!

    anyway greetings from Italy :)

  • I, too, am frightened by those that don't see it, and they are numerous.

  • " I am frighten by those who don't see It".....If you don't understand the words, or this video....Well...It's just not meant for you to understand then. ..This is a powerful message, the music and the video.....Thank You Avett Brothers....You guys are what the music industry needs so much more of. This modern pop culture is killing our youth. This is real music....

  • oh and @senatortombstone we said in class that maybe he has darkness inside of him but no what ese knows its there but him so its flooded in light and hes frightned by the fact that the world should be in black and white or right and wrong but we come up with those shades of gray in between and we try to make it it seem like what we do is right when its really not

  • Today in english class we anylzed this song . We caame up with loads of possibiltys! We noticed how the song didnt really match the video so we tried to see how he tied them together, i noticed the sky and how when things went into the sky they left traces behind and we thought maybe that even when the past is behind you its still there it was really cool to listen to a song and try to figure out what they was actually ment by it!:)

  • What is frightened by? That no one can spot his darkness beneath the light? Or that they ignore the darkness and only see the light?

  • i heard this song and realized how ironic all of the political commercials playing on it are

  • Rehanna sucks

  • LOVE LOVE THIS SONG.............LOVE THE AVETT BROTHERS! YOU CAN FEEL THEIR MUSIC DOWN IN YOUR SOUL AND IT FEELS SO GOOD!

  • This song is tearful euphoria. Well done.

  • Vevo how dare you!...Surrounding such a beautiful song and video, with an immensely inspiring message, with advertisements for the rampant spiritual emptiness of corporate owned Rihanna? SMH! You should be ashamed!

  • @gmikej1022

    Because then we would have had to pay for it otherwise. Be thankful for this. Advertisement surrounded Avett Brothers is better than $5.99 a month Avett Brothers is all I'm saying.

  • The art work reminds me what can happen to America if the Rich do not pay their fare shair in taxs. Thank you 99% folks we the people.

  • Nice =)

  • I won't stop pushing this band until everybody is listening to them.

  • the worlds been taken over by penguins in this video?

  • good music + stop motion animation = incredible story-telling

  • ATTENTION:

    I have build a youtube channel to group together great music like this and other artists you probly never heard of with the simple purpose of helping people find new artists and songs. So basically i want your help :P I am guessing by the fact you are listening to this you have good music taste and so could you recomend me some good artists and maybe check out my channl =) no subs required just feedback and help spread good music =) CHEERS DAPPLE

  • Rihanna keeps staring at me....its gettin kind of creepy.

  • @phantom4x4 you want it! lol

  • @btbraden08 Please make her stop

  • Hitting the bitch seems like the logical option

  • @phantom4x4 S&M baby

  • I wrote a book with lots of Avett references in it. It's called 'Slammed' by colleen Hoover. If you are an avett fan, get the book before January 8th and it's FREE!!!

  • I love this song. It realy is a life changer. When my dad first showed me this song my only words were, "wow....." and the more i listen to it the more it means to me. Your lives shouldn't change by the man that's elected, amen.

  • i love this song !

  • Omg! I watched this video grew from 400k views to 1 million. woot!!

  • FIrst thing I thought was "money hogs". The ad at the beginning of this video made me think bad things of the the band I found on "Austin City Limits" and fell in love with. Shame on you!!!

  • @CamiStorey What is wrong with making money from your music and doing what you love?? Doesn't change the music at all, its the same song. They wouldn't be able to make any music for you to listen to if they didn't make money doing it... they'd have to get a job.

  • bet im the only 12 year old on this video:)

  • Hey guys check out our video response we added banjo so check it out!

  • i could listen to this on repeat forever!!!!!! <3

  • Yesss Yesss Yesssssssssssssss!!! LONG LIVE THE AVETT BROTHERS!!!!!

  • Wow. I can't listen/watch this video very often, it makes me too melancholy and introspective. Somehow, to me anyway, all at once it is despairing, hopeful, confused, wise, joyous and so many other things. For me, this song and video always remind me that one day I will die, whether it is in a hundred years or tomorrow; and eventually, everyone will die. And maybe, in the least cynical way possible, I'm not as bummed about that as I used to be.

  • Beautiful song

  • so inspirational

    

  • that was just fucking amazing

  • i like this and i then i got butfucked by a rhino

  • Most beautiful music video ever

  • Dear Vevo , may your forever rott in hell, signed the youtube users

  • @spotifythis LOVE THIS COMMENT!!! HAHAHAHAH!!! YOU ROCK!

  • @spotifythis i don't get what is so bad about vevo, they release high quality(as in hd) videos

  • @SeniorSmurf1 the only people that hate vevo are kids with bad internet. fuck 'em. Tell them to upgrade.

  • im

  • great song, is there a way to find out who did the art for this?

  • @VinSchiavone There's a video on here showing the process of making this, and the artist is explaining everything.

  • @VinSchiavone Scott Avett does all their art

  • Thats kind of amazing♥

  • Comment removed

  • ONE MORE TIME!!!! 0:00

  • My absolute favorite, and I'm frightened by those who don't see it..

  • reminds me of the male version of Regina Spektor...

  • I found out about the Avett Brothers when I watched a wonderful episode of ACE OF CAKES. Now I am in LOVE with them! :)

  • I just can say that if there really is a god, this song i the kind of things we should thank him for, i'm beathless...

  • I started watching this video when it had 400k views now almost a million.WOW!!

  • These guys mean so much to me...I am thankful this year for Seth and Scott Avett

    Their dad is a great musician also.. See you when get back to Carolina Fellas @-->----

  • Agree 100% with Dropthemittens - those lyrics speak to my soul.

  • Hey guys!!!! Rosa from winston/salem highly recommended ya!!!! She was right will be keeping an eye on ya!!! Winnipeg/Manitoba/Canada says Hello!!!!! Norm

  • i wanna know who did the art in this video. Whoever can help get back to me

  • @MnCofurface theres a "making of" video (i guess it won't let me post the link, but you can search making of head full of doubt and it'll pop up) his name is jason mitcham. watching him go through the process is amazing!

  • I mean your "link to this video" part is messed up.

  • your share button is messed up =(

  • 3:02 The dream begins to collapse

  • this video is insanely good.

    

  • Hey a video about Detroit!

  • love the change in feel halfway through

  • get justin bieber the fuck away from my avett brothers.

  • The difference between this song an 99% of the mainstream songs/artist is this is music.

  • Piano piano, trite songwriting, obvious melody, violin- hoorah

  • This is truly one of the best songs I've heard in quite a while. Sends shivers up my spine!

  • I wrote this song as a poem for school. Of course I didn't claim it as my own, but the teacher told me that she had looked the song up that past night and would pass me with extra credit because I listen to music that has meaning.  She also thanked me and told me that I would never understand how much this music she had just heard had changed her life.

  • @12w3e4tttt Avett Brothers forever!

  • @12w3e4tttt I'm calling bullshit on that story....

  • @12w3e4tttt Oh, shut the fuck up and go kill yourself.  By the way, I do really like this song.

  • THIS TUNE SOUNDS SO FAMILIAR,AGHHH

  • what a great friggen animation...and song of course...but awesome animation....

  • my psych 101 professor showed us this song last year just because he thought it was great. he said "makes his sensory axons go wild!" I'll never forget that

  • a cool guy from omegle sent me here. if you see this guy from omegle. you should totally msg me k. and. u guys should vote this up c:

  • Looks like Obama became president at 2:50.

  • Normally something like the fact that this video has less than a million views while Justin Bieber's "Baby" has over 648 million views would make me want to punch an orphan in the face, but the sheer beauty of this song mellows me out. Thank you Avett Brothers for giving today's music some hope.....

  • "its a darkness upon me that's flooded in light, and i'm frightened by the ones that don't see it" this one line stood out to me. it says so much to me personally. i may get it as a tattoo as a reminder to never doubt myself and there is always a way. just sharing... :)

  • There was a dream, one day I could see it, like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it. <3333 Best line in the song.

  • Great Message.Love the Video layout...But where are all the views??? C'mon people!!

  • This video is one of the greatest music videos i have ever seen. Deep.

  • 23 people who don't see it.

  • Comment removed

  • If you watch the making of this video, the artist is featured.

  • man. did I pick a great day to quit quitting alchohol ;)

  • omg youtube you can't give me a preview ad AND an ad banner. i hate you sometimes.

  • best song ever everybody should listen to this verry good song

  • "If you're loved by someone you're never rejected. Decide what to be and go be it." That line alone has changed my way of thinking and subsequently my life.

  • @Dropthemittens - those lyrics speak to my soul.

  • Comment removed

  • @Dropthemittens Those lines have made me feel extreme joy and extreme pain both. Sometimes I feel like these guys have tapped into my soul.

  • @kegsofvomitspit I think they've tapped into society and life in general. 

  • @Muffinxwar I think you're right.

  • Truly a piece of artwork.

  • Great video and song...I'm trying to find out who was the artist who made the drawings for the video, does anyone know?

  • @joEthEsmoE look @ the comment below mine

  • I REALLY LIKE THIS SONG!!!

  • darkness....

  • wow there is good music being made these days.

  • The song is awesome, but I love to just watch the video. You can tell there was a lot of work put into making it. The art work is amazing. <3

  • 21 people are still living in darkness...and I am frightned by those who don't see it.

  • It is with this song that the Avett Brothers captures my heart...

  • How could you dislike this song? Wtf

  • Does anybody see the hungover guy with hipster glasses directly to right of video. I can't stop laughing because it looks like he is annoyed by the video!

  • @ElectricS45 Sorry, to the left of the video. I was laughing too hard.

  • This is by far THE cutest video I have ever seen... ever.

  • @teatree43 cute??? *facepalm*

  • The Avett Brothers is the music my heart's been waiting to hear and now that they've found each other......nothing else quite compares. <3

  • one of my favorite songs i dont know how people could honestlly dislike this :P

  • 3:55 , worst driver ever!

  • 21 people got crushed by the billboard when it fell.

  • Animation for this video is perfect.

  • Thank the music industry for having bands like this, Mumford and Sons and various others to balance out the money hogging crap that is all too frequent on the radio today

  • Such a fantastic video, and such a remarkable song.

  • This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard

  • Great Song and Video. Thanks for the music.

  • I just saw you guys! The best most wonderful concert I've ever been too. I've never seen anyone get a crowd going like you guys, and the experience cannot be touched by anything else. To hear everyone in the audience sing along and just having everyone there be so moved by your music was just amazing. I love this song, and everything else you guys have done!!:)

  • every version of this song that they do is great...live or studio, you have to respect that.

  • @58lbinder listen to mignonette or carolina jubilee. the latest album had more of a pop vibe than the rest, which were bluegrass/folk kind of stuff.

  • OK so, I'm a musical genius. Understand this: I'm a prodigy in every sense of the word. Borderline savant musically speaking. I've studied under the greatest musicians of our time and collected more musical understanding than most professional musicians will in three lifetimes. I've been to world renowned schools, I have a PHD in Music Study and Theory. I write symphonies in my sleep. I.Live.Music. ....and I say this song is good. I also lie, a lot. Still a good song, regardless.
  • I heard this song inside of a mcdonalds yesterday..

  • I just wish this song never ended.

  • Comment removed

  • Getting ready to tell my parents I don't want to be a doctor anymore and that I want to join the Navy. Hoping this song gets me through it.

  • @yodaking13

    I really hope this song didn't inspire you to join the Navy... if so, the darkness they speak of is running deeper than I thought. The darkness they talk about is the new world order.

  • Love this song!! Think how long this video must've taken!

  • No matter what genre of music you're interested in, choose music with truth and message, this is what i call truth and message

  • A very very very good video not to mention the song . Well done ! 0_0

  • hoooolllyyyy crap. That just blew my mind

  • 20 people either heave no heart, no soul, or are deaf. And I feel bad for them.

  • How does this song only have 838,000 views.. It should have at-least 2 million..

  • @armymonster1 at least it doesn't have 301

  • @tardis9659votes Yea, lol true BUT its such a good song :P

  • @armymonster1 and jessie J has over 150 million... I dont even know who she is XD

  • @armymonster1 Because you have to know what you are looking for to find it. This is a hard video to find if you don't know the right search words

  • My Teacher showed me this song. and he I didn't like as much but he as soon as i heard this I was telling myself this guy knows what its like.... Goood song !!!!

  • One of the greatest music videos ever. too bad most of the album was a bitter disappointment.

  • @EliTheBarrowBoy96 We should all chip in and buy you a hearing aid. That album was incredable.

  • arguably some of the most touching and profound lyrics i have heard come out of a band for a LONG ass time.. seriously.. these guys are awesome and are close to becoming one of my favorite bands. "i and love and you" is another equally as profound. amazing work.

  • (enter number of dislikes here) have no heads or roads

  • @Nghodge I didnt actually want to know that but thank you for letting me know. For the 4th time, I have nothing against books ok? I actually read them and I was just saying I like how the avett brothers get points across so simply.

  • @YearAtTheMovies I have nothing against books, was just saying I like how simply they get a cross a point without going into detail. I like books, I actually read them, believe me or not.

  • @gfair2 I wasnt trying to say that at all. I read books a lot and am actually reading one right now, I did not mean for it to come across like that at all so sorry if I offended you. I was just saying that they put a point across so simply and I love that.

  • Lovely.

  • this video is so cool! it's so simple, but at the same time it speaks volumes and compliments the song so much. wow. i'm really falling for these guys and their music. I never thought i would, but i found them on a Spotify playlist and instantly clicked with the song.

    check the playlist out if you have spotify, you'll find some really cool new stuff on it. bit. ly/college101

  • KJKADHKJHDUHJDHKJFHKJHAJKKJHAD­

  • this is the kind of music u could just kick back and relax to pretty damm good

  • amazing song. amazing group

  • You see, this is what people should be listening to, this phenomenal piece of music, not autotuned Wiz Khalifa, Jay Sean, Lady Gaga, Big Time Rush shit. This is true fucking music. I live for these guys. If you like them, I recommend Live, Vol. 3 to anyone. God Bless You, Seth and Scott Avett. <33

  • @bostonbabii224 Gaga isn't autotuned, she actually has one of the best voices in the biz

  • @bostonbabii224 Live: Vol 3 might be one of the best albums in the past decade. I could listen to it every day and never get bored.

  • This song is keeping me alive right now.

  • @eacpax

    It's keeping me alive at this moment as well. You're not by yourself.

  • I love this song!!!!

  • this has got to be my favourite video of all time :)

  • Wow, this song basically sums up my life. Such a beautiful song with such beautiful words.

  • Heard this on the radio finally. I'm so glad it's reaching so many people's ears. I love this song

  • i cried so much, i needed this song <3

  • Gotta love southern bands....mainly the ones from North Carolina thou :P

  • Dude, this video would take me a lifetime to paint.

    Legendary <3
