The Avett Brothers perform their song "The Once and Future Carpenter" for CNN Music. For more CNN videos on CZcams, check out / cnn Or visit our site at www.cnn.com/video/
"If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die." The Avett Brothers always add substance, character, and believability to their music. I will be forever thankful for the music they share with the world.
You can tell that The Avett Brothers love what they do and they put everything they have into it...I think anyone who has ever seen them live would agree.
This band and this song in particular give me a lot of hope for the future. The Avett Brothers are just amazing both musically and lyrically. I hope they never stop.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Like all classics it makes you cry and happy inside at the same time! I am obsessed with it because sometimes it sounds like one long cry and then it is the happiest most life affirming song the next time I hear it. Its a perfect mirror of the soul
I absolutely love how every Avett video has a collection of very protective fans that will not hesitate to put people in their place if they want to talk some smack!
Easy people! We all went through that ignorant phase of our lives when we didn't know about how great this band was. This is someone's first step to becoming more awesome.
Music inception: paused Avett Brothers on Pandora to listen to Avett Brothers on CZcams. I hear their music and it reminds me of everything that I know is true and right and real. Their message of living life and experiencing it as it is is so inspirational and beautiful that I will admit to singing along while crying. I hope they continue to make music for as many years as makes them happy. I, for one, never want to stop listening.
thank you, CNN & avett bros for "distracting us from our own madness"! get lost, grim reaper!!!! these guys are so inspiring-i'm frightened by those that don't see it!!
I think, to be honest, I've found my hero's. I know you all won't say you're hero's. I'm not saying you are hero's. I'm saying you're my hero's. Sorry, you can't argue with me on that one, 'cause it ain't about you, it's about what you mean to others. So take that! Keep being what you is.
He looks a lot like Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes. Fairly similar style too, which is cool. But anyway, Avett Brothers are incredibly talented and should not go unnoticed.
This song is part of a refreshing and countermadness way which will help you if you listen and follow up on what you think as a result. A pathway to a cleaner, kinder, more decent and loving Life is here lying before you. How can you expect anything at all if you refuse to be distracted from what you admit is madness? If you are a POW of the war on goodness and so on, Escape is a virtue....a high duty even. Listen to the song without the agenda and the cages around your heart and mind. notsogrim
I like that I am introduced to random bands. How else would I get to find out about these people if they don't get some sort of media coverage? Radio stations certainly are incapable of that these days since most stations are ran by monopolies that feed us the same crap day in and day out. Yeah, I don't mind a little random from the typical mundane.
At least this is something good and uplifting that CNN is putting out. Plus it's not like what they usually put out should be considered "news" or even "good" or "informative".

how is your reply to Grim Reaper any less aggressive than their post? some people have opinions that differ from yours, and this person posted a simple opinion. if youtube doesn't care, the avett brothers don't care, then why would you care?
Hmmmm.... Interesting. Cnn Seems to Post Random Stuff. :/ Another Random Band I will never listen to. and never heard of. I really don't like seeing a news site video poster posting shit that just distracts us from our own madness. :/

I love love this comment. Perfectly captured.

My grandson is named Avett after the band
Awesome!

when I lose my direction I look up to the sky
Its hard to pick a favorite from the Avett Bros but if I had to choose this song is the best by far!
When Aristotle said "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.", he was predicting the Avett Brothers.

There is nothing quite so beautiful as these men making music together.
I love these boys so much. I can't help but cry everytime I hear their music, it is so perfect and moving.
Amazing lyrics, awesome sound. It doesn't get much better than this.
This is what true country music sounds like.
DarkLightAvenger * Is it not more folk than country?
mrseanjc Yeah, it sure is folk. But I see in folk-based music what true country music is and used to be: very acoustic and story-based.
If that aint country...
One of my dearest songs of all time ❤
This song is perfect. The Avetts are perfect.
These guys are awesome!
How is this even less than a million views.. Awesome music.
I want this song played at my wake.
thank you, CNN & avett bros for "distracting us from our own madness"! get lost, grim reaper!!!! these guys are so inspiring-i'm frightened by those that don't see it!!
These guys are just awesome 😎
I’m a 14 year old metal head and I rarely listen to much more than metal or hard rock but this is one of the bands I find perfect
Our idols !!!!!! BEATKIDS, Berlin, Germany
good song,i like
Thank you CNN and You Tube for bringing something good and pure in a world of chaos, hate and a whole lot of ugly. Rock On Avetts!
This is fucking stellar!
Wow
I think, to be honest, I've found my hero's. I know you all won't say you're hero's. I'm not saying you are hero's. I'm saying you're my hero's. Sorry, you can't argue with me on that one, 'cause it ain't about you, it's about what you mean to others. So take that! Keep being what you is.
Did anyone else notice they alternate between singing the melody and harmony of the chorus?
He looks a lot like Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes. Fairly similar style too, which is cool. But anyway, Avett Brothers are incredibly talented and should not go unnoticed.
watching that drummer is hilarious.
yeah he didn't last with them very long
Why is a major network uploading videos in 360p?
+Fat Bizquit because old people cannot internet. Also youtube totally isn't a thing and there's no money in it. :P
Just found you guys. Unlike most people I like all types of music.

Well put! It's pretty simple, isn't it?
Whose here because of the book Slammed? 😊

Joe Kwon has the manliest beard out of all of them, just saying
At least this is something good and uplifting that CNN is putting out. Plus it's not like what they usually put out should be considered "news" or even "good" or "informative".
I hear Townes in this
Do you mean Van Zandt that you hear in this?
joe kwons the man
With a name like Grim Reaper, we all know you'd rather be watching news about all the death, sickness and madness in the world.
That is HILARIOUS !!! I think your rock is calling you. Crawl back under it, please. LOL
Dylan sever and I did a overview
The guy in white is the only one that wants to be there

More Avett Brothers and less CNN would probably do you some good

Joe Kwon +alpha
Joe is my hero
nice song, fake news
lmao
I love the Avett Brothers, their music is so creative, but I have to admit, I think that the cello is bringing them down.
The cello makes it!
Love this, but y does the drummer look insecure during the whole thing lol
Ron Weasley is looking kind of depressed on the drums...
Man that bass player is hairy
I adore the Avetts, but the drummer has to either liven up or leave.
He did leave. He was fired.
How do you think they got Mike Marshall? He's so much better
Sounds like someones a Negative Nancy
Perhaps the only teenage emo girl who likes this music
You just got destroyed beth
so because you have never heard of them and will never listen to them, it is shit that distracts us? hmmmm..... interesting :/
