This was their farewell to Avi. Kevin tuned Beyoncé (the cello) low so she could "sing" Avi's part, while Kevin was still doing percussion, and looking as if he would burst into tears at any moment. The pain you're feeling listening to this song is what they were feeling when they recorded it.

Actually, Kevin did not tune the cello low. He just played the lower strings. The cello has a very large range.

The cello was pretty much doing Avi’s part…..it makes me very sad, when Scott looks directly at the camera, to say goodbye. Right after Avi’s announcement that he was leaving 😢

This was in the period after Avi left and before Matt came on board, and the sorrowful tone in the beginning really comes across so authentically and beautifully.

As I'm sure many have said, this was one of two videos they did after Avi left and before Matt officially joined the group. I know some don't agree, but I will always think of this as their good-bye song to Avi. It really hits home when Scott looks at the camera and sings "I just came to say good-bye". It's a beautiful rendition of the song, but still breaks my heart, even after so many years. By the way, the other song by just these four is "Away in a Manger".

It’s a very emotional one. I really do love it. I think it’s the only official video with just four members. Were there any others? I can’t recall but I don’t think so. Somebody will tell me, I’m sure. They brought in Matt as a “guest” for Deck the Halls, which I think was the next one.

They had recently found out that Avi was leaving. You can see the sadness and also the fear of "what's next?" in all their eyes. Such a great tribute "replacing" Avi with the cello.

Watch it again knowing this was right after Avi left and Kevin and the cello is doing Avi’s part. 😢 (Kevin and Avi were apartment mates so I know he was extra sad.) It makes me so sad and I rarely watch it but I did it for your channel. But now we have Matt and I love Matt too and they are getting better and better. It is kind of a lesson in life, bad things happen, don’t give up, keep going and look forward and not back. T ✌🏻

In addition to missing Avi, they must have been concerned about what would happen to the group. Should they try continuing like this without replacing Avi? Would they be able to find someone who could cover Avi's part and fit in with the group? They were just starting to get awards and an international fan base. How much support would they lose with Avi gone?
