Seth Avett sings,"Pretty Girl at the Airport"

[@TINLTL606]

I hate comparing the two. They both have incredible, unique qualities. Seth has a warm, butter-like voice that just glides its way into your heart. One of those that you could listen to forever and be content. While Scott's voice is so believable and reassuring. It penetrates your soul in such a way that he makes you think about what he's saying because he honestly believe it. Love these men...

[@MarimbaKid425]

Every song from Mignonette is gold, including Laser Pants.

[@mthedu]

especially laser pants. haha

only once in a while do you find a group that can make you believe in something you thought you lost. thank you xxxx

[@avettbrotherscovers717]

The most sincere song to ever be written

[@jsaving773]

I don't understand how he can sing this song without breaking down. I can't even listen to it without crying my eyes out. This is seriously the most heartbreaking thing I have ever heard, but joyous too.

[@AustinPaulMusic]

Sometimes when I'm alone and don't have the energy to put up a front, I just let this song take me. Thinking about the story that lead up to this song brings me to tears every time. God bless Seth Avett.

[@oliviasmom01]

Austin Paul What story would that be?

[@Doctoberfest]

+heather b God the feelings I get listening to this.First time on my own, selling everything and only having enough to fit into a osprey kestrel pack. I gave my dog away to my friend's family. I couldn't take her with and it broke my heart. She was a beautiful blue doberman, tall and strong. I had to leave Indiana though. No matter what. The bus never showed up so I snapped. I'm not waiting any longer. Midway bound found a couple of tickets one way as my only friend drove in the dark to the Gary bus stop. Didn't show there either. So midway bound, 5 am, between the smokes, and reminiscing on the times me and him shared. Knowing it would all come to an abrupt end. Not knowing if I'd ever come back I have him the things I couldn't take with me to remember me by. I had my going away party the week before in a garage. Music, beer pong and smokes. 4 or 5 of my closer friends. We had a blast doing all the goofy things young guys do. Dick and fart jokes, gay jokes, you know how we are. Music playing loud and getting rowdy she walks in. I almost didn't think she would have come. We had gotten so close growing up. She of course had a loyal relationship with another back then. I wasn't going to step on toes. I respected her. Remembering all the times we shared, how one day I was missing my father after he passed away. All she did was hold my hand during that car ride. She came in to kiss me that day but of course being the person I am. I turned away for fear she'd regret her choice. I told her how I really felt about everything that night as we polished off the 2nd case of beer and everyone went to bed. She'd changed completely but the feelings were still there. They always will be. The love for the girl that once was. I kissed her that night. I told her that she meant everything to me. I'd stay here if only she would ask. She stayed quiet and pulled me in closer. Never speaking a word to me, kissed me passionately. We didn't make love that night. No matter how badly I wanted to be entangled in her arms. No matter how badly I wanted her to say "Stay here with me. I've always felt the same way" She never said a word. She left that morning after an hour of sleep to go to work. Still wearing my gold and black watch 2 times too big for her wrist. I didn't need it where I was going any way. Maybe she'll look at it and realize how much I mean to her. Maybe she wont. I wont regret not kissing her any more. My only one regret. I walked onto the plane, the freezing cold piercing the walkway on that mid February morning. I'd never even been on a plane, let along an other state by myself. I had no idea where I would go from Portland. It didn't matter I wasn't thinking about that. What I was thinking about was how weird it was to come to terms with how she would never admit she felt the same way. How maybe if I.....no. She doesn't want me. I tried to see her again before I fully left. All she was worried about was if I still had my scotch. She's changed. I know, I know, I'm just so damn lonely running is the only way to feel alive any more. She was beautiful inside and out. Her hippy style, the way she was just in touch with feelings I had almost forgotten. Oregon did me right though. If only I didn't have to come back to this place. If only she realized how much she's changed, and not for the better. If only I'd realize, this is the ways it has to be. If only I'd realized. Her name was JOHN CENA

[@AustinPaulMusic]

I just meant if this song was written from a real life breakup (I don't know the backstory behind all the pretty girl songs)

[@cathygarza637]

It's hard to watch somebody whose heart is breaking. This is a gentle & sensitive soul who tried so hard to be noble & do the right thing. A soul mate only comes along once in a lifetime if you're lucky. I hope your torture has ended & that your chosen one is 1/2 the person you are. God speed to you Seth.

[@Ohhhlordddd]

If anyone ever questions what is good and pure and true in this world, lead them here

[@fourthdimensionaleye]

this song and souls like the wheels, are my two favorite avett songs. this performance is just life saving and powerful.

[@sheofthethrone8756]

My favorite video on the internet. There aren't words.

[@FOGHORN515]

+Sheofthethrone Totally Agree - Incredible Lyrics. The brothers are old souls way beyond their years.

[@CheriseMingus]

One of my favorite Avett songs. For sure. Makes me cry buckets like rain.

[@mooregd183]

That guitar is butter.

[@sydneyhill1071]

Sobbing. Like a baby.

[@PrincessPwnzer]

This particular "Pretty Girl" gives me chills. I love this man.

[@laurenmuraco7234]

The emotion behind the simplest words, 'I know'... Gets me every time

[@KatieIsntFamous]

How gently he delivers this song! Love it!!!

[@23distractions]

This man can hit the most incredible high notes. So much talent.

[@FOGHORN515]

So many songs that stir the soul and call to your spirit. Goose bumps - Throat lumps - Tears. The Avett Brothers surpass Jackson Browne and any other song writers that touch your soul. There are no words but Thank You!

[@ericfreeman2663]

They are great! (I have seen them 12 times live) but they have a few roads to walk before they can fill Jackson Browne's shoes. That doesn't take anything away from them, the Avetts and Isbell are both like modern Hemingways-if he could sing.

[@hotdiggityayo]

The best of the Pretty Girl Series... I know... I know.

this man has more soul then anybody iv ever seen.

Best PG ever.

[@HasInterwebs]

I love this. I love it. The Avett Brothers are amazing. And I have yet to hear a song of theirs that touches me as much as this one.

[@IrvSauce]

Worthy addition to the pretty girl series. Love the electric guitar he is playing. I almost wish he'd play it always.

[@robertbingalls]

I feel like a schoolgirl every time I hear the Avetts. I hope they make music forever.

i can't get enough of this... it's just so beautiful!! thank you Avett Brothers for sharing your unbelievable creativity with the world!!!!

Awesome. I never get sick of Crackerfarm videos!!

[@TheEmperorOfIceCream]

This has been "the song" for me for the past two weeks. I've watched all the videos of it on KZbin, I learned how to play it and have been playing it every day. This makes me so happy. Thanks Seth, thanks Crackerfarm.

[@britishslang1]

This makes me sob...such a beautiful sad song...also, my favorite pretty girl song...I LOVE THEM!!!

[@tarheelmtl]

My boy used to get real silent in the car when this came on in the middle of the "mignonette" days. He had to say goodbye to the one girl he always wanted on different occasions, partly because of her schooling, and partly because he wasn't right with god and himself yet. I'm happy to say that he is on track, and she has returned...returned to him

[@legalfictionnaturalfact3969]

Oh like he fooled around on her?

[@tarheelmtl]

@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 No, but still funny. 13 years later

[@legalfictionnaturalfact3969]

I don't know what that means, but as long as you do, it's all good

[@tarheelmtl]

@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 You know what being an unfunny troll means. Yet your original comment actually made comedic sense, 13 years later, which is impressive. As mentioned.

He looks a lot like Freddie Mercury in this video. I've been listening to these guys for about a fourth of my life and have never disliked one of their songs.

[@Cmarier2]

could listen to you sing all the way from the east coast to the west coast!

[@joshuadavison8506]

This song wrecks me.

[@blakesam123]

Seth is my hero

[@TheEmilieShea]

There's like 20 different pretty girl songs dispersed throughout all of their albums over the years. I don't think it's meant to be a series as such, they must just have a bunch of pretty girls in their hearts.

[@kenzaloo]

1:01-1:08 KILL ME. goodness gracious this is beautiful, thank you crackerfarm. xo

[@hamiltonhochs]

The best pretty girl tune .. I know, I know.

[@alicepenrod]

Great description - you nailed it!

[@folksinger91]

@allcreationgroans I'm glad you like him! He's one of my favorite folk musicians, he put such great melodies with fantastic poetry. Very few people know of him - I'm glad I recruited another fan!

[@marybethquirk]

Dang, @crackerfarm, you guys really know how to make it hurt. Keep it up.

[@jonnyf]

So pretty :):)

[@NicolasCurcioWriter]

ashamed to say i've never heard this before....wow!

[@michaelmoellermusic]

Cincinnati, Ohio Southgate House? That would be an A-Freaking-Mazing show. I had to go to Athens and Louisville last year to see you guys.(Which I don't mind) but the atmosphere at the Southgate would be spot on!

[@slumberstorm]

cannot agree more.

[@DawnVita]

Lovely.....

[@stina20a]

I think every woman no matter her shape, size, looks, religion, ethnicity, etc wishes she could be the subject of one of their "Pretty Girl..." songs.

@crackerfarm !! dude you have to make a video of seth singing the bob marley "is this love".. geez the few seconds of it in the myrtle beach vid rocked my world

[@folksinger91]

@allcreationgroans John Hartford played a guitar that got a similar sound on his early recordings for his 'word movies', very groovy.

[@DBendo888]

Well said Kerri Pitts, well said.

[@allcreationgroans]

@folksinger91 After a second look, I think that's Gibson. haha, whoops. yeah, its got a very sweet, smooth quality...I guess that's why I myself have an affinity to most hollowbodies. anyhow, I had to check out John Hartford and I really have to thank you for that tip! I think I must have listened to "Prayer" 5 times...seriously, he's got soul! And, his voice his very smooth and familiar. I think I'm a fan now, so thanks :)

[@hilby21]

Mm. Dat guitar.

[@DustinNiehoff]

I don't know if you'd call it a series since they don't sound similar, but they have quite a few songs titled as such. They like pretty girls, who can blame them?

[@1mshores]

@crackerfarm this is ridiculously hilarious... i hope scott reads this!

[@flyersfan10]

warm tones, warm tones, warm tones.
