Doesn't get any better than this. Not in any era of music. Brilliant show.

[@rj4035]

Never gets old. My personal favorite song by him. Great song.

[@user-dj7gi3ge6n]

This song tears me apart from inside

[@sonicfoxxmusic4281]

I bought the album that this comes from, uploaded it on to my phone and started off on a walking path with this song on repeat and wouldn't you just know it...some dude starts to talk to me.."I'M LISTENING TO RYAN ADAMS, WHAT DO YOU WANT?"...his reply..."Sorry mate...i love the dude..don't worry..i'll ask somebody else to help me dig my car out of a ditch..i left the bloody hand-brake off"...my response..."Fuck...did you say you like Ryan Adams..WHERE'S THE CAR??"...two hours later and he was on his way...and we became friends. The power of Ryan Adam's music eh?..i bought the album..and gained a friend.

[@georgevarner8989]

Without a doubt my favorite Singer Songwriter. The Man Is Simply Amazing!

[@williamotey6707]

George Varner 👊🏿

[@Derm0tek]

@@williamotey6707 Him and Tweedy are the best of this generation.

[@justinjensen9978]

Holy crap, he just captivates you and you can't stop listening! Do I wait here forever for you? Yes! Yes! Yes!

[@DeniseCooper-m5v]

Thank you Ryan So hard to wait for that person u love

[@mjohnburns]

Who will fill the gap now that Letterman is gone, still need to promote great artists like Ryan Adams.

[@calebhartley1243]

and a guy named Jason Isbell - Adams is 2nd when it comes to poetry. Excellent though.

[@xKegz]

Caleb Hartley it’s not a contest

[@graham1745]

Martin, have any of your late night talk show hosts stepped up, to take Letterman’s place? I’m not a fan of Corden, but he did have a fellow Scot on, to promote his album, Bloodlines...Colin MacLeod.....well worth a listen...👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4HYeoBpmqxgf9E.

[@janpedersen8376]

One of my very favorite songs.

[@eugenewanderer8258]

He definitly reaches inside a person and pulls on things bittersweet.

[@gregallred7074]

This is a perfect song. Like Heart of Gold, Heartbreaker, or Angel of Death. Ryan Adams fucking rules.

[@gregallred7074]

Neil Young Heart of Gold.. Perfect song. Heartbreaker... Led Zeppelin.. the greatest band of all time, the best song of all time. Angel of Death... fucking Slayer... Best metal band of all time. Best fucking metal album of all time. RIP Jeff!!!!!!

[@oliverosullivan]

I never get bored of this guy!!

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

Honestly ive not heard this til now I knew from the opening chords this was going on the favorites list How this song slipped by me im not sure but im going to blame ryan for outting out more material than a listener can barely keep with lol This song is as good asAngelina imo Absolutely solid

[@Homeinmygardenwithmydog]

His album Ashes and Fire is everything.

[@lanag9318]

[@Malachy896]

THE BEST OF OUR TIME GET THIS CD~

[@timothychristopher9307]

The emotional contempt this song awakens can be too much.. seriously

[@kristinaledfrd8922]

Do I continue to wait? You will always be the aame

[@muchadesign]

Amazing, amazing song… powerful and heart-felt.

[@wishiwasinalbion]

Awesome song. Amazing performance

[@distortzz]

out standing!...love the solo on the album too great song!

[@nedplimptonzissou98]

Crazy good and close to home. Heartfelt and real which Mr. Adams is a master of.

[@nicoleplumbo2661]

god I love this song...

[@reaganmiller453]

Damn it, made me cry. Ryan - I LOVE you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@doorbell5]

do I wait.....I'd wait forever

[@djshyne21]

I got tickets to see him in LA in February....I can't wait to see him live!!!!

[@bsg75husker]

his raw emotion just gets me every time. it's obvious this man knows what is is to go thrue hell and back, because only then you can perform with such emotions and intonations. only wish the quality of the vid was better, but tx 4 the upload still ;)

[@timothychristopher9307]

Saul Tigh Yes..Ive been saying that since 2003 when I found this dude. The man knows, and has mastered, pain and loss.

[@lephotographinc]

Simply amazing! Great Album!

[@MedicineMan64]

So full of soul.....luv it !

[@wishiwasinalbion]

so fucking good

[@gregallred7074]

This is my mothers death song. I love this song, as it is hers. Thank you.

[@dorrylag]

Love It!!!

[@RS54321]

Thank you, Ryan.

[@rosesmith8578]

❤

[@Fionacollins50]

Lovely.....amazing talent! xxx Blessed be x

[@kristinefaust7150]

amazing

[@scotttheboss1]

Who writes better music than him now in this world? I can't think of anyone? how he isn't the biggest artist in the world is beyond me! I mean he did a Taylor Swift cover album, you'd think that's game over....NO it's fuckin amazing. I love u Ryan

[@mathiaskjeldgaardpetersen5926]

If that was a real question the answer might be: Matt Corby

[@stephentalley7710]

+Mathias Petersen can you recommend a good one...

[@mathiaskjeldgaardpetersen5926]

Matt Corby: Brother (version live at Melburne). And Monday are two very good ones but he got loads more

[@BLITZY261]

Anything on SONIC FOXX MUSIC....one man writing the lyrics....listen to them....many more songs to arrive..a good enough reason to subscribe. All original.

[@mathiaskjeldgaardpetersen5926]

Anything? Lyrics on 'Breath' and 'Why' are bland, guitar is monotonic. Looking past the production value which also includes (hopefully unintended) computer mouse-clicks, the girls sing nice and it's fine but i wouldn't call it 'better' writing.

[@conniebana]

great!

[@staplek]

amazing version. stands out more here as I troll his performances than on the record.

[@donaldmeade5892]

great song. the album version has an ethereal organ/ leslie part that is a lesson on how it is done right!

[@whoaeasytiger]

@mikemcleish His guitar mic here looks like an AKG C414 and I believe his vocal mic is a Neumann KMS 105. Hope that helps!!

[@seanlove3578]

Waiting...

[@loaded_like_a_sailor]

@Fenner1976 Amazing performance...very serious stuff!

[@michaelcoates534]

Still waiting honey...

[@mikemcleish]

@whoaeasytiger That helps a lot! Thanks very much for taking the time. Cheers.

[@MBlurry]

preach it sista

''i m gonna play something slow now!'' LOL

[@lillyandruben]

Totally agree with your comment

[@cranjass]

OMGomg!...

[@eugejnr1]

the kool of all the gang...his voice sounds like a feeding back guitar at 3:25...fukin wonderful!

[@Alltribeslady]

was hoping and wishing for one more Chris Cornell appearance on Letterman,then he retired...very sadly,Cornell has also...but maybe Letterman will come back to T.V. at least in reruns.

[@tbngeorgetown]

I'd wait for you. ......

[@14wAYNE]

I'd wait for you too

[@fannyingabout]

Nor do I.

[@JOHNNYHAULAWAY]

rad

[@mikemcleish]

Sorry if this has already been covered... Anyone know what mics he's using for his live setup?

[@ImportanceOfWhatever]

[@krisjohnson2767]

Ryan would write em and Jeff Buckley would sing em :)

[@danclark5088]

Jesus isn't real, but if Ryan Adams wrote songs... OH, wait he does.

[@danclark5088]

First name basis, ah?

[@annc4134]

This destroys me

[@philgarciaweir]

i bet letterman tickets are free...

[@Cap683]

Never to be heard from again I suppose.

[@treynicholsmusic]

I follow him on Instagram and it seems he’s been in the studio for a few days. He’s been taking a lot of time out of the spotlight to work on himself

[@chastitywhore6141]

She didn’t come back because he beat her.

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

Ryan couldn’t pass up all the free storylines he got from my portfolio: actually it’s fairly apparent he wanted to broaden out into punk etc.. my lyricisms wouldn’t go there

[@ClassicCarter87]

If jesus wrote songs......

[@seadragon63]

love it !!!!!!!
