The Avett Brothers Sing, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea By Neutral Milk Hotel

[@isaiahisrael9978]

Avett Brothers

[@alizaleibowitz2804]

this is so wholesome

[@jeremiahgallagher]

I wonder how many of us have our own "drunk Jon"s that have eventually brought us here? Mine is funny Steve from the dining hall freshman year, now friends for life some 18 years on. Love this, bud

[@dansmith-ee9po]

If I would’ve never read the comment, by the guy that met the drunk guy @ the campground, they would’ve passed right by me. Thanks !

[@mickthomson7424]

I hope he's not piloting the aeroplane

[@lachimoleah]

This song always had me thinking about my sister who passed away 10 years ago. 13 days ago though I lost the man who was father to me, and now I sit and listen and think about him.

[@GlennOettinger]

same

[@nickperson1017]

That’s so sad hope you both are doing good

[@ms.ntropy3187]

My little brother -- 10 years ago in August. Sorry about your dad. Hope you had a good dream of him. I did when my dad died in 1994.

[@lachimoleah]

Glenn Oettinger So sorry to hear ❤️

[@lachimoleah]

Ms. Ntropy Very sorry for your losses. ❤️ I dream of both of them often. It's very comforting.

[@goatboylloyd7783]

My dad’s favorite band playing my favorite band’s song while wearing my other favorite group’s t shirt. This is surreal.

[@Arceus5555]

Lovin the Death Grips shirt in the background. It captures the full fantano experience this video has.

[@AKIRTV9]

Its almost as if it completes the Fantano circle in this video

[@georgefuller8244]

+Akir Stuart what does the Asian represent tho ? Cal?

[@SuperMoodyyy]

Huge cringe vibes

[@dylanwarman8556]

Holy shit, perfect, I'm so happy this exists

[@justinhipp4376]

one of my favorite bands covering my all time favorite bands song... life is good

[@Jmike3543]

The reason people want to see carbon copies of the original is because many fans (myself included) consider in the aeroplane over the sea to be a perfect album. I wouldn't change a single sound or note on that entire album.

[@misslindseyfrost]

Completely agree with you. It was the first album that I ever listened to on repeat evey song through.

[@leetmoka3482]

This is great. I love how the violin replaces the musical saw

[@candacewinfrey]

This is permanently stuck in my head and heart. I can't stop watching and don't want to.

[@FashionTVFashion247]

I knoow!!!!!

[@CindynRobbie]

This song really touches me

[@kyleg334]

+Shindy Listen to the original song. Its my favourite song.

[@CindynRobbie]

+Kyle Gilbert I have! It's great

[@Beunibster]

Show me on this doll where the song touched you

[@thelegendarye2430]

Beunibster lol

[@cdoesstuff558]

Wow great cover. Was not expecting the band to come in like that haha, was only listening. Captured the essence of the song so beautifully

[@PunksInVegas]

I'm so glad this rendition exists.

[@matthewsmith3964]

Mind = blown. Thanks guys.

[@markamezqua]

dam my son played this at moms funeral got me in tears guys.

[@DatingTV]

I really wasn't a fan of the vocal harmonization at first listen, but now I think it's really brilliant.

[@wwaldo2525]

The boys really grow on you

[@ColossalZonko]

I go through the whole album trying to harmonize and accompany him.

[@mysticwritr]

Oh my god. I can't believe what I just found. Two of my favorites combined. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! It's almost as if I manifested it into being! I love you Neutral Milk Hotel/Jeff Mangum. I love you Avetts Brothers. I'm a new Avetts Bro's fan and was recently thinking how alike Jeff and Seth are in spirit, in sound, and moves. So much love. Thank you.

[@remynemr739]

I absolutely love this version.

[@topfy123]

how strange it is to be anything at all :')

[@GrothendiecksWish]

topfy123 existential stuff right there

[@ChrisJensen23]

The Creation is a miracle.

[@briangallagher7684]

My favorite line from the song, for sure.

[@paulmitchell9975]

That's the line, uzdna. That's the line

[@timcharlton6485]

This song is a classic

[@jimcatalfamo8034]

I was first turn on to this song by 2 young men that i think wasn't old enough to get into a bar. they were busking in this great town park call Recreation Park in Binghamton, NY. i couldn't ask for a better way to end my day trip with my youngest son. i'll never forget that late august day and those 2 young man and they joy they gave us and the people around them listening to them sing for the love it. too bad we don't see more of that. maybe i'll get lucky and the brothers will play this song this may.

[@ghostofhoward]

This is how I love the Avett Bros.Raw, acoustic, heartfelt music without the bells and whistles.It never fails to take me to a better place.

[@catnmouse]

My god this is perfection. Gorgeous.

[@phoenixcube]

beautiful version of a beautiul song

[@marybethquirk]

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. Thank you. Cue the tears.

[@bymattreynolds]

Still gets me. EVERY. Time.

[@davidroth520]

So beautiful! Thank you!

[@meredithpower1819]

I first heard this song during an impromptu jam session in a friend's studio apartment and loved it immediately. I love it even more hearing Avett and Co sing it....

[@mollygeisler2578]

My favorite band covering my favorite song. I am blissful.

[@alejandroXmarin]

I don't always cry listening to music, but when I do, it's because of things like this.

[@jenspates]

This overwhelms me.....just so compelling

[@Sparty1966grad]

The only thing missing is the saw. They use a bow and saw in the original and it gives it a psychedelic vibe.

[@tymirra8769]

when i saw them live, the singing saw was so fucking cool

[@albinodino5050]

@@tymirra8769 Lucky!

[@ComedyNinjaStar]

Not to mention it sounds like the notes of the screams bending and reaching through the trees

[@unplugged123]

missing the brass horn too

[@junerose4889]

Caught myself singing this today while waiting for my coffee to brew, what a beautiful song and wonderfully covered!

[@championette..]

Simply amazing... one of my favorite bands covering a song by one of my other favorite bands... I'm in love!

[@manofcertaindeath]

One of my favorite songs ever. Beautiful cover.

[@misslindseyfrost]

Thank you for creating this! This is one of my absolute favorite songs done by another one of my absolute favorite bands!

[@thevj001]

When all senses are arrested in light of a thing such as this, these are the only words suitable...: "We do not merely want to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words - to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it." - C.S. Lewis

[@mirandatipton]

this song is so heartbreakingly beautiful. amazing cover.

[@karenaidala]

No words...just goosebumps...

[@JRemy-pr8dm]

I watch this video at least once a week. NMH and the Avett Bros, epic. Seth's voice with Joe and Bob's strings...chills. Thank you.

[@caramason56]

Oh my goodness 😀👏👏👏. Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@jaredroney9412]

I love this song so much, had to sit down and learn it yesterday.

[@rocketman0515]

Right on Avett Bros, no one has ever covered this song with so much conviction!

[@911-b5u]

this is so good i wanna cry😭😢

[@robinwyatt7994]

So young here. But still the best band ever

[@shanetor12]

This is perfect

[@psycgirl86]

This is absolutely incredible. I have loved neutral milk for years and recently became a huge avett bros fan, this is one of the best videos ever!

[@queenerica368]

I've watched this a million times.Thanks Mike!

[@yamahargxa2]

Violin part is so good

[@jessiandrews2768]

I have lyrics from this song tattooed on me and I also have an avett brothers tattoo. This is the greatest thing to stumble upon.

[@Jenni41]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! My new favourite band covering my old favourite band. .

[@SWWonders]

Amazing cover of one of the most beautiful songs ever written

[@nicknovakk]

Holy shit that was beautiful

[@jay12345891]

YES!!! I'm so happy they covered this song. One of my favorite songs covered by one of my favorite bands.

[@MatthewKroll7]

Excellent cover of an amazing song...

[@dilladevotchka]

This is probably one of my favorite videos on all of youtube.

[@toddneal9970]

I love this version! It is just so soft and sweeeeeeeet!

[@ElsiaStar]

this is about the 7th day straight I've listening to this.. it's just so beautiful

[@egjohnwall3927]

i think if i had to pick one song if the question was what’s your favorite song of all time kind of a silly question but this would be it. this rendition in particular. can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all. my favorite lyric

[@plzbhave]

a treat to hear this after a long unpredictable week. again.....

[@tylercanopy2216]

Damn how have I never heard this cover? Fantastic!

[@joannaholder]

love the strings playing that beautiful NMH sound!!

[@concars1234]

How have I never had this recommended to me lol??? Absolutely great cover.. 8 years later haha. I feel like I've seen every avett brothers and NMH vid on youtube

[@ckallaher]

Showing once again that Seth has one of the most beautiful voices in American popular music today.

[@drewkohlmusic]

This is such a beautiful song and a fantastic performance.

[@savannahshoemake6201]

I FUCKING LOVE THS

[@Paul4Krista20]

I truly enjoy their cover very much! Beautiful Music.

[@Paul4Krista20]

I find myself going back to this version almost more then the original which is already a masterpiece. This is like someone painting a Davinci that has just a touch more pleasing qualities to your eyes.

[@AnisaA]

I have to say, NMH fans have got to be the biggest tight-asses I know when it comes to covers if it doesn't sound like a carbon copy of the original... I'm glad to see a fair amount of love on the comments! Seth's voice is perfect. the lyric change threw me off haha, but this is just overflowing with wonderful.

[@erinclay-scott5857]

Arctic Monkeys fans are awful about this also. Covers are in different styles. That’s why they’re fun

[@tamradawnhyderamblintam]

i love this song, i love these boys. i love that these boys did this song.

[@mrfaust1959]

like early Neil Young, but yet your own. The song made me happy and sad all at the same time ....Is that good.??? loved it!!! Thankyou

[@Ferntendo]

Love his voice

[@_rosieeee]

so perfect.. Seth, your voice is one of an angel

[@jacklandismusic]

I love this so much. Look, it’s no NMH. Of course not. That’s because these are the Avett Brothers. There’s something to be said, of course, for the original and why it sounds exactly how it does. Still, the song works outside of the context of the album, and can be covered well. This isn’t supposed to be a recreation of the song as NMH recorded it. It’s the Avett Brothers paying homage to a song they like. And they did a damn good job, I think. I love the strings and the banjo a whole lot.

[@stripesd]

I really love the original but I actually really really love this one aswell the avett brothers are the best band

[@daniellem2929]

beautiful!

[@MattKieleyFilms]

This is so goddamn beautiful I can barely handle it.

[@jjparson]

This is fantastic. Saw this live in Fayetteville last month. Incredible!

[@trinaturner983]

sweet and lovely

[@suxiesux]

God I love the original so much I didn't think anyone could top it but holy shit! I'm in love with this.

[@Carcrashhhh]

Holy crap.... awesome song covered by an awesome band. This is killer.

[@honeyliar9525]

brought tears

[@MaquiladoraIII]

This is pretty damn impressive. Lovely layering of sound as the song goes from verse to verse.

[@amcclee]

Thank you for this, it is a great cover of a great song. :)

[@skullkid112]

Scott looks like he's fading into another dimension.

[@NewkLambesis]

Yeah I saw them in October and it happened, it was magical.

[@rougesunset]

I forgot how much I love The Avett Brothers :')

[@jarmstrong026]

Awesome cover! Thanks Avett and Neutral Milk Hotel!

[@homerjones1119]

This is what I love....back to their roots. When it was them breakin strings all over the place. Their out of tune melodies along with the lyrics when all combined together sounded.....well.....perfect. First time I saw these lads was in Tampla, Fl in a crowd of about 200 people. They came out for 3 encores. Ill never forget that night as long as I live. Boys, I love you, and I always will. But enough with the drums and piano. Yall were like nothing I had ever heard before. And now....

[@kress]

this takes me way....back..diggin my cassettes out yo ;) love it!!!!!

[@moganhoow]

I can't believe i found this. Two of my favorites together.

[@TessaBrown92]

nice cover, to a song that brings up happy memories.
