Beautiful, hard woring and honest tunes!!! Scott - if you read this, I love you brotha and love your tunes! You inspire so many fellow musicians and human beings to look deep and both tighten-up and let-loose... Thank you for being filled up and poured out for all of us to enjoy! Much love brotha ~
Ellegant and soft Feminine as you ougt One with earth and one with God Won't you please forgive me Won't you please forgive me As the daylight sinks As I fail to stop and think Once I cursed the things I've done Won't you please forgive me Won't you please forgive me Young bride take my name Burn the questions burn the shame You don't have to live by them Won't you please forgive them Won't you please forgive them Sleep well when the night time falls Wait 'till morning when I call Don't believe the bad you saw Won't you please forgive them Tenderness and grace How you've come this place However dangerous or safe I'll find within you I'll find within you
I just bought my first banjo (instrument for that matter) because of these guys. Friends think i'm crazy. They might be right. If I could just learn this one song i'd die a happy man :-)
kurt niebling Kurt, I seriously did the same thing. Didn't actually have to buy one because my dad had one miraculously, but got a banjo because of this song! learning strumming patterns is hard...
kurt niebling this is actually a pretty easy song to play, once you learn how to clawhammer, he does do a drop thumb in a few places which is sort of an advanced clawhammering technique but it can be played without it .If you have a banjo a good place to start learning here on youtube would be to check out Patrick Costello's channel him and his dad are amazing teachers and will have you clawhammering within an hour
CPV Really ... 2 months? I'm not saying it sounded good but I had the basic mechanics of clawhammering within an hour , going through the channel I suggested . No dropthumbing isn't an advanced technique it's just a different technique,But you have to know the basic clawhammer before you can dropthumb, thousands of clawhammerers (if that's a real word haha) never dropthumb and it sounds amazing, Scott is dropthumbing in this song.Lastly I clawhammer the guitar as well as the banjo so its not just a banjo style. Check out my videos , I'm not that good but I aint been playing that long either.
I think we can agree that music exists and it is beautiful in that it unites more often than it divides. I do not personally know the Avetts, though I sure do wish I did and through their music and the easy video accessibility that we have, it seems that we all kinda do, I believe they would rather their music bring us all together in peace and harmony than to divide us into groups of who's who and what's what. None of that is all that important anyway, is it ? Namaste and Avett love to all.
I don't believe in God but I still love The Avett Brothers music and I think that their passion carries over into their music. I am a fan of most styles of music but not a big fan of "Christian" music. I do, though, enjoy old spirituals/gospels (when sung by the right people) and respect them for what they are; powerful and passionate and full of human emotion which, in my opinion, is what music is meant to reflect.
Wha an amazing talent ! I like the way the Avett brothers allow us to have paks into their creative process andthe evolution of their music. I just looked at Scott's website for his paintings. This is one gifted person.
Scott Avett, you need to come to Minnesota and you need to sing this song. It is my favorite song ever and I will hear it live someday. Thank you, Crackerfarm, for sharing always. :)
I'm really digging Scott's clawhammer style. I wish he'd play more of it. I'm working through figuring this song out for myself. It's pretty simple, but amazingly effective.
Someday, I'll get a chance to play with this man and his fellows. Ahh, that'll be the day, I can't wait! For now I'll just listen and admire the music from down here in Average Joe Land :]
Saw a comment about tabs. From the looks of it i think its just an e minor chord on the 5th fret then just sliding it to the 4th then to the 2nd where it belongs. Then play an open G and then a C. "Please forgive them" part is just the same e minor just starting at its original place at the 2nd fret then to the 4th and 5th. Sorry if this doesn't make sense. Haha
Beginner question: It looks like he's strumming the fifth string, but if I put a capo on the second fret and play the chords you stated, most of it sounds right except for the very dissonant fifth string. Do you think he has that string tuned differently here or is using a separate capo for that string?
Well said Big! Me and God is one of my favorites. If god isn't a personal thing for a person then its a thing, easy to cast off...like..i'll cheat tonight, but say 10 hail Marys' tomorrow...if its real, its love, and it is "me and my god". ROCK ON!
In their song "Me and God" They state "What's right for me may not be right for you" I don't believe in any higher power at all, but I love the Avett Brothers, and though there is definitely mention of their faith in their music, they certainly don't shove it down your throat, and that's why I love them so much.
I'm gonna keep track of how many times I stop back in to give this gem a listen. It's been probably 2 dozen times now, but here goes...

How can anyone dislike this...a handsome man playing a beautiful song on an awesome banjo. What is there to dislike here?
"Sleep well when the night time falls, wait till mornin' when I call" The Avetts sooth my soul.
Please support the artist so that he can afford to purchase door handles.
Good song. I am no expert on the banjo genre...but I like the voice and style
them AVETT BROTHERS do good stuff.
I will check em out...Thanks
Steve Weddle I just lost my shit laughing at this comment.
+Steve Weddle Hilarious.
This is music. Feeling sad, happy, relieved, depressed, in love and at peace,all at the same time.
I have yet to hear or see anything about this man that I do not absolutely LOVE..
I just bought my first banjo due to his influence. Can't wait to learn some Avett Brothers.
J BELL how’s it coming?
Nic Ford woah I was just gonna comment that
Fun instrument to learn. I found it to be pretty easy to become a competent banjo player, although I think it’s tough to master.

Ellegant and soft
Feminine as you ougt
One with earth and one with God
Won't you please forgive me
Won't you please forgive me
As the daylight sinks
As I fail to stop and think
Once I cursed the things I've done
Won't you please forgive me
Won't you please forgive me
Young bride take my name
Burn the questions burn the shame
You don't have to live by them
Won't you please forgive them
Won't you please forgive them
Sleep well when the night time falls
Wait 'till morning when I call
Don't believe the bad you saw
Won't you please forgive them
Tenderness and grace
How you've come this place
However dangerous or safe
I'll find within you
I'll find within you
PERFECT HUMAN. He makes my heart beat a little faster.

I love how nearly all of their songs take on a different or greater meaning when played live just because of the certain emphasis they use.
Love to see that clawhammer style. Just shows how much he's grown as an artist and musician.
these guys are awsome I listen to them practicly every day

Feminine as you ought..possibly one of my favorite lines in a song ever.

He's not preaching..hes expressing life threw music!!
I can see why the door handles were removed from this room because why would you want to leave? This is stellar.
Sweet mother of the highest being! I cannot even handle all of this. I just can't.
one person is "more" into todays country hits! Praise the Avett Brothers!!!
I discovered these guys while in college. Funny how a song can make you feel the same way...even after a decade.

The International Harvester cap is a nice touch. Fits the mood and the style.
i seriously have this song on repeat for hours at a time. it will never get old, ever
absolute favorite version of this song so excited to see them two days in a row in NY!
I swear if I ever hear this song played live I will cry. It is my absolute favorite song. Thanks Scott and Crackerfarm for sharing.
one voice, one banjo, its brilliant
I am having Avett Brothers songs played at my final celebration of life!!!!⚱
OMG he is gorgeous! No idea how I ended up here...
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERY SINGLE BROTHER!!! I ADORE the Avett Brothers!!!!! ADORE ADORE I tell you!!!!!!
The Avett Brothers are the reason i adore music, and will never give up pursuing it as a lifestyle.
that was seriously the best 4 minutes and 21 seconds of my life!
I find a tear rolling down my cheek as I watch. This couldn't be more perfect.
the Avett brothers are the beatles of our times....a gift from god.... can any of you commenters do what they do.????? I think not !!
The depth of their catalog is just absurd at this point.
i love Jesus and the avett brothers.
Scott Avett is my inspiration for picking up the banjo again. We go see them whenever we can. See you June 14 in Indy.
Banjo? I did not know Jeff. I'm a floundering banjo novice.
How’s the bango comin along
i love this song so.
Scott Avett, you are the most amazing musician and Songwriter out there. God bless you.
and Merry Christmas!
I'm really digging Scott's clawhammer style. I wish he'd play more of it. I'm working through figuring this song out for myself. It's pretty simple, but amazingly effective.

the finestttt man that has ever played a banjo
Someday, I'll get a chance to play with this man and his fellows. Ahh, that'll be the day, I can't wait! For now I'll just listen and admire the music from down here in Average Joe Land :]

Tune the 5th string to A.
What do you think that little walk down or fill is that he does after the C every now and then
This is my favorite Avett Brothers song ever! What a treat to see a Crackerfarm video of it.
i did not this song could get any better.... oh my gosh
Love this song. They make great music. That's all that matters ...
Well said Big! Me and God is one of my favorites. If god isn't a personal thing for a person then its a thing, easy to cast off...like..i'll cheat tonight, but say 10 hail Marys' tomorrow...if its real, its love, and it is "me and my god". ROCK ON!
he is simply amazing

In their song "Me and God" They state "What's right for me may not be right for you"
