[fella4000]

I've spent the last while of this year letting everything suppress the happiness I'd feel as a little kid but its funny to find that all it takes to get a wind of hopeful spirit is a man and his guitar...Love the Avett Brothers

[dancesportgirl21]

I have a major problem with this video. It's far too short.

[DITTOLAB]

wow...how lucky his children will be to have him sing it's lullabys!!!

[Nakkafakka]

Wanna trade life, Seth ? 

[TheElizaLili]

5 dislikes, 291 likes... whoever those five are, they probably have an inability to produce goosebumps.

[WildFlowerChild4]

Love it. Love it love it love it love it love it....I had it playing on repeat all night one night. LOVE IT.

[jbizzle00]

Seth looks a bit like Duane Allman here haha

[chrizass]

[MrDude904]

you can tell what songs were written by seth and what songs were written by scott

[filma06]

[kodster87]

damn



[galindoaztec]

I came upon them this past Coachella they were amazing live.

[420andsuch]

Praise the Avetts for they are gods among mortal men!

[xXXinfonlightXXx]

GJ man, cool song

[Bronwyn55]

Such a perfect song.

[steppen86]

A buddy mentioned Murder in the city to me and I checked it out, I have not stopped listening to them, and when I told my GF she fell in love with them and is humming or listening to them hourly... Just too bad the MN show was already sold out when we discovered this awesome music!

[BADFISH417]

love this song

[thegalvin]

I absolutely love this song! I posted a video response of me singing this at a local juke joint (don't do it justice guitar wise at all but I love singing it!)

[KnotCool]

Wow great song!

Anybody have any of the Darling albums they'd be willing to share with a fellow fan? :)

[metsbs]

They were released like lsat week on Amazon. He has three albums, the best is probably "The Mourning, The Silver, The Bell"

[brodank]

hey this video was uploaded 2 years ago today!!!! good job seth

[hernanbox]

los hippies apestan y vos tambien

[carnicerodeperros]

no es hippie puta mierda es hillbilly

[willf3020]

eres u puto, q sabes de musica

[sebodiddles]

He looks like Lukas Haas.

[kimr24]

"The Mourning, The Silver, The Bell' is a great album

[012Lupus]

Scott doesn't have solo work, The Album this song is on" The Morning, The Silver, The Bell" is on itunes, but Seth's first two are out of circulation):

[kellyville77]

awesome

[Heyyodude893]

where can you get scott's cd's?

[Heyyodude893]

seth* haha, i don't know why i typed scott

[wrstllax089]

Am I the only one that thinks that the Avett bro's should record an album of them doing covers? love all their originals but they put such a great deal of their own personality in their covers.

[achanook]

I think you're right. But this is not a cover. This is the final track on Darling's "The Morning, The Silver, And The Bell" (Seth's solo act) Cheers

[metsbs]

I think Belladonna from the Second Gleam is a Darling song.

[JacobPaws34]

wow i cant spell

*love

*guitar

[JacobPaws34]

i lvoe this song my 7th grade teacher use to bring his gutiar to school every friday and we all sang this song while he played is was the best school day ever MR.DUNN YOU RULE!!!!

[BoobyMcDoogle]

i wish our mr. dunn was that cool...

[folksinging]

So good

[KarliJoanne]

this song is so beautiful

[razorxmuse]

you guys have come so far! Im sooo proud to know you. I cant wait for your dad's cd to come out. I talked to him today..gosh im blown away.

[CrowHooves]

how can i get darling?

[yootubematt]

I was surprised to find this album had 17 songs on it. I figured it would be an ep or something.

[confuser69]

there is a certain sadness to some of the songs the Avett brothes write especially the solo pieces. Sometimes there is a certain simple child like honesty and melancholy. This is one of those songs that you write when someone has left and you're writing it right in the middle of all those feelings. At the beginning of Stephen Kings Pet Cemetary, he writes, "the path to a mans heart is stonier." Songs like this cast a clear light on all the stones that have fallen on the path of a mans heart.

[oliiscoolish]

reminds me of the beatles

[dh0024]

does anyone know what chord he plays at 00:50?

[unplugged182]

just another way to play a D chord. xx7775

[dh0024]

thanks ; )

[MilesStone92]

avett brothers feed my soul : ]

[angelzyt43]

brett dennen and the avett brothers sound like it'd be the best fuckin show ever

[hamiltonhochs]

Love this song !!!

going to see Avett Bros August 8 in Charlotte...and bonus...brett dennen opening...I cant wait !!!

[imkaity]

im in love with this song =)

[confuser69]

I'll add my humble .02 cents. I discoverd the Avett brothers only two days ago.. This is just what my soul needed. I'm so happy to have found so much material on youtube.. I've been watching and listening to everything I can find. Just when you think there is nothing good left in the world you find something like this and everything is ok again.

[JENNYREV0505]

welcome to the avett nation!

[Mineiro426]

@confuser69 that was great.. liked to read it.

[1FattyMatt]

@confuser69 Well I just discovered this band about 55 minutes ago and I have yet to find a song I don't really really like. I only withhold the word "love" because love takes a little more time. Confuser, I had to respond cause I had the same reaction to this band. I know there are great indie bands out there that I've yet to discover but it's rare that a band has 2 singers this good. Not sure how these guys have avoided me but I'm glad they found me. Peace

[smoshfan6776]

@confuser69

true that!

[420andsuch]

@confuser69 see them live and your life will never be the same

[blasto2236]

@confuser69 It's a great feeling, isn't it? Enjoy the journey. This has been my favorite band for going on 4 years and it never gets old.

[tc1895]

Seths voice is just so pure and amazing..

I am so glad that they put out their music..

They are truely talented boys

=]

[seldomseen233]

chords anyone?

[jayseanNO9]

why do you want to learn this song if you can't learn it from watching him play it in this video? really?

[seldomseen233]

alright then

[mhutson45]

Maybe so he can improve his guitar playing and enjoy playing a nice song. Douchbag.

[DClynch]

Cause maybe he cant look at a guitar players hand to know the chords. Maybe hes an acordion player, or piano, or banjo, or cornetist. Not all musicians rely on Guitar basics.

[Spiffyman72]

just give him the goddamn chords, shit.

G D G Em C D7? B7? C G D Em C G

That goes for each verse in that order. Pretty much stay with those chords and you can figure it out.

[Zornat89]

Brings tears to the eyes.

[marysstikal]

this is beautiful...though i really want him to talk to his kitty at the end. :)

[CrowHooves]

i really loved this. the Avett brothers are awesome. Where was this recorded?

[lifejackets2go]

agree with everyone, these videos are amazing in their simplicity. Scott and Seth are talented enough they dont need the fancy lace. wonderful video, wonderful voice, wonderful music

[xLOVElikegravity]

I like these YouTube acoustic solo videos of both Seth and Scott even better then the "real" versions.

[alienworkshop468]

I agree

[imaginaryemily]

what a voice.. :)

[alienworkshop468]

I really wish he would play this with scott

[EJR914]

Wow, incredible footage.

[johnnyrockhead]

I don't usually like nice songs but..

[rad42]

n-ice

[knataliex]

i love this song so much. still.

[joecoolmccall]

I'm always impressed with the diverse material that the Avett's sing...

[RatherCrunchyMuffin]

The echo in the room kinda screws up the sound. or makes it better, i cant tell, but it does something

[tacoturner]

better. I think? at any rate, I prefer these videos of various Avett relatives and friends singing in odd hallways, 15 passenger vans, etc.

[mommm1]

awesome. that is all.

[truthbtold2410]

heart wrenching...

[knataliex]

i love.

[tma2290]

I listen to this song every time it rains.

[BrokenArrow1967]

SWEET!!!!

[jupmiester]

this song is amazing i don't know what else to say...

[blacksnake28164]

smiles.

[dearXhaylie]

he has such a pure, beautiful voice. i mean, its amazing.

[dearXhaylie]

hes amazing. nuff said.

[RandomActsOfGreen]

Thanks Mandy.. really nice tune:))

[aholdout2]

[amandalee7747]

Beautiful, Thanks

[funkandgroovin]

[lzema01]

So sick, Seth is the man.

[achanook]

One voice and one guitar have never been as powerful as in this moment.

[emmiebaby21]

everytime i hear his voice, it makes me fall in love with music again

[DrinkTheFish]

All I'm hearing is rain on my tin roof at the moment...

[IrishLilly518]

so much meaning and so powerful for such a short song . . .i love it !

[mindme5472]

Oh how I love this song! He does well with just himself and the guitar...but so does all of the other band members! Simple yet so passionate.

[brittanyavery1864]

Wow.. this is my favorite song. My cover of it is nothing compared to the way he plays it... well he wrote it lol... wish i had that lyrical ability! SGB

Can't wait to hear them live!

[nllleonard]

Sweet song! I keep replaying it!

[kenzaloo]

kill me.

[moresweetlies]

This is the best song ever.

[kcdriftr]

this is a fantastic song...

[ModestBandit]

He gives great high fives

[luverduck]

So gorgeous and basic in its message......

[KaraLuann]

seth is awesome. in many ways

[jumbolia1]

Verse G-D-G-Em-C-d7 Bbm7 C

Chorus G D Em C

Bridge Em Am D7 C G D C

Tuned down half a step and capoed on onezy

[jumbolia1]

and by tunded down I mean not tuned down and in standard.

[conorthemick]

thank you so much :) it is spot on!

[conorthemick]

Seth you are freakin awesome!

Can anyone help me out with the chord progression? So far this what i think it is:

Verse: G,D,G,Am7,C7?,D7,Em7

Bridge: Em,Am,D7,C7,G,D,C7

Any help would be appreciated tho! thanks
