Is that painting for sale?

A beautiful union of music, words and images.

In darkness comes light! Hope! ...However society create a world that has degenerated into a dystopia where advertising, commercialism, money, greed and cultural anti-intellectualism run rampant and human society becomes devoid of individual responsibility or consequences....Kinda like now.

Thanks for posting this "Behind the Scenes" look at the video. What an awesome idea for a storytelling video. The only downside was that my hand almost started cramping when I thought about all the hours of holding a brush and staring at a canvas...and then the painter mentioned having made a mistake and having to totally go back and redo a section. Ouch. Well no pain, no gain I guess.

only a video like this and art like this can explain the realness behind how deap this song can be. This song already had my mind blown when i first heard it but after i saw the video it made everything even better to listen to because i learned about something in one of my classes and its called text painting its doing in the music what the text is like a song about falling asleep (chord progresion does a walk down) but not only do i feel like your music does that but i feel like i can really get it from this painting.

The most amazing thing I have ever seen done with ultimately a single painting!
"2600 Paintings in 1" has portrayed the song's meaning incredibly well. The concept of working it into a music video is extraordinary. Jason Mitchem, the artist's wonderful animated painting style, choice of colors and balance of light throughout video seemed, as Scott mentioned, to transform a deeper meaning of the song. I hope to see more of this art representation of the Avett Brothers' music. It emulates, almost, like another instrument playing along in the "Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise" song's melody. Great creative minds thinking alike!

sometimes i think i 've got my life figured out and in place only to have it all fall apart and bring me back to the place i need to be.

life is everchanging, but i can always find a constant and a comfort
N YOUR LOVE

This video is insane. I admire the amount of time and work spent making Head Full of Doubt/ Road Full of Promise! I honestly can't get over how much I love this video and this song!

Kudos to the artist (:

I would really really love to watch the making of video here in Germany but I can't find a way to do it. The music video itself is no problem so why the making of?
Please, this would be sooo great!
Thank you!

Absolutely incredible!! What an amazing process! There's a lot of talent coming out of North Carolina I do believe.

I drank your share of bourbon thinking you might come around.....

Thank you for showing this.

This song from the moment I first listened to it seemed to speak to me, but only on one level. I am used to good music having dynamic and depth. This song had something more than the way we all interpreted it. It is easy to allow the lyrics of a song do the talking and believe that is the only interpretation of the song. This album has really surprised me in that the songs no longer seem to the point. We kinda have to come up with our own interpretation.

Pretty damn cool.
