@@tomgardiner2490 yeah. He’s rlly super hit or super miss. Don’t much care about his personal life but I did just watch a recent video where he’s I think 9 months sober. TMZ girl asked him about cancel culture and he just like he was found jogging did he jog over that answer. lol
@@tomgardiner2490 Saw him a few nights ago. The trouble is, he's so good, he's almost good enough to get away with his terrible behavior. It's such a beautiful mess and you just can't look away. lol. I don't know how else to describe it.
@@ihatekillerclowns I'm from Sweden, out of the US. I know very we'll who Ryan Adams is. As many Swedes do. Oh, BTW, don't mix Sweden up with Switzerland!!
I love the recorded version of this song, but there's just something so emotional and raw when the harmonica is played live here that takes this performance to a different level
@@francesward2830 I think Jeff Buckley deserves mention in this conversation as well. But he only released one full album before his untimely death. I also really like Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains as a lyricist.
I'm very excited about the journey you are about to go on. Please indulge in all his work, especially Whiskeytown. One of, if not the most prolific and talented songwriters of our generation. Saw him live in Detroit with just a guitar and a piano and it was life changing.
Oh man, in a way, I envy you. I've been following Ryan for a couple decades.. and loved all of it. However, a part of me would love to discover his catalog of songs for the first time again.. and feel those same feelings that I did when I first heard all those great songs. Enjoy your journey with Ryan's music. You're gonna love it. ❤
Ok, the way I see it, Ryan Adams songwriting here is genius because he has the ability to let go of his control over it and, with an almost out of body experience, observe how to analyze, add or edit all the pieces until it is the most perfect of imperfections. In other words, he has achieved true mastery in his artistic medium and has the ability to masterfully reveal his enlightenment to us again and again and again.
Ryan Adams is the ultimate genius. One of the best song writers and performers. I'd place him at the top with John Haitt , L Lovett, Doc Pomus, Daryl Hall and Josh Kelley.
Still my absolute very favorite Ryan Adams song and in my all-time top 3 song list. Everything about this is sheer perfection. The harmonica gives me goosebumps and the lyrics are so beautiful they make my heart hurt. This man is genius.
@@Willie_Wahzoo zillions don't have the legacy and influence for one ,and overall talent. But Ryan has the honor of being the only one to cover an entire album by one of the most overrated ditzy air headed pop musicians of our time.
I love Ryan and this song is one of my favorites from him. Neil Finn is my all time favorite. However, I feel like he’s thinking ‘damn, Ryan’s been through way more shit than me.’
I heard this song come on RUclips when I was taking a very long hangover shit, but I managed to see the end of the song, one of my favourite artists ever, respect x
When I want to have an American experience I play this song in the car (I'm an Australian living in the US), but actually I know this song from "home" -- it reminds me of being young and f**ked up myself.
Ryan Adams man... I really dig the writing style, and the bluegrass, country, bluesy rock mix he's got goin on. And he can't be over 32.... He's got the same kind of soul and passion that I do.... It's a tough business though.... HEY RYAN, COME PICK ME UP N JAM WITH ME. WE'D DO AN AWESOME HARMONY!
MLIN20 You did good. I love it. I have tried to find this show on DVD but no luck. If I lived in the UK maybe I could get it. But us yanks sometimes have a hard time getting things from there. Again, I love it. Im for sure talking about all the videos you have made of this. So then do it again. LOL
Thanks for your kind words. This is what RUclips is for, so we can see things that are broadcast in other countries. And not just other countries because even if you were in the UK you wouldn't be able to get this on DVD. The BBC do produce DVDs but not for this series,so the only way anyone can see it is if someone recorded it at the time of broadcast.
I'm glad I found Ryan Adams through This is 40 because this is real music and it's hard to find now. This really makes you want to pick up your acoustic and play! A really beautiful and mind-catching track!
Although unknown to me Ryan Adams shot to God like status with this one song, look at the admiring face's of his fellow musicians, Niel Finn's expression @ 1:35 as he is close to bursting into tears. Well done BBC what a thoroughly enjoyable bit of television.
@@andyferguson6474 Agree, definitely not ‘romantic’. For me this song is the perfect depiction of a certain kind of all- consuming love that reduces us to mere shadows of the sensible person we used to be. No one describes that kind of love better than Ryan here - imo.
I first heard this song at the Basilica Block Party, Somehow I knew, in that moment, hearing that song, that my relationship was doomed. We didn't break up for a year. But this song... told me everything.
WHEN THE SONG STARTS...... I CAN'T BREATH FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 60 SECONDS.. AND IT'S SO DAMN GOOD I DON'T NOTICE!!!!!!!!! THEN, I FIGHT BACK EMOTIONS ... HEARING THE PASSION IN RYAN'S VOICE.... INTENSE AND GOD SENT.. (SORRY FOR THE CAPS.. I LIKE TO SEE WHAT I TYPE.) HEY, GRAB A FAMILY MEMBER OR A FRIEND, HUG THEM AND TELL THEM YOU LOVE THEM.... IT MAY BE THE LAST CHANCE YOU GET. .. I LOST A GREAT FRIEND A YEAR AGO (1 YEAR AND 3 DAYS TO BE EXACT) ................I WISH I COULD..........................
The very very talented Mr Ryan Adams, Not entirely sure his time has passed and he knows he squandered his chance. There was a moment around 'Love is Hell pt 1' when he could have been the champion of the world. He can still write a damn good tune now and again. Love this version.
magnifique chanson ,belle voix,rythme très doux agréable les paroles sont claires .quelle belle musique ,ça va être une belle nuit avec ce rythme"merci Gûnter Touchner" grâce à toi je découvre une très belle musique et un chanteurs excellent
Holy shit! I’ve watched this many times over the years because I love it so much and always thought-I know that’s Neil Finn but who’s the old guy? JANICE IAN. Wow lol
He is.....Absolutely One of The Best Ever. You can Feel his music, and if You can't....just go listen to what the masses say is popular. An acoustic guitar and a Man beautifully conveying A depth of emotion that is almost painful, in an amazing way
yes I've looked him in the eye personally as I was there and met him after the show, his eyes will quite literally penetrate your heart beautiful man...

When Ryan is this good he’s untouchable
And when he's bad he's sooo cringe. Hopefully he's finally got his shit together
@@tomgardiner2490 yeah. He’s rlly super hit or super miss. Don’t much care about his personal life but I did just watch a recent video where he’s I think 9 months sober. TMZ girl asked him about cancel culture and he just like he was found jogging did he jog over that answer. lol

@@bkosha97 he seems to have got it together for this tour. Sober suits him!
The way Neil Finn is looking at him while he's performing says it all. And i'm a huge fan of Neil.
That's the look of Neil dying inside as he wishes he could be half as good as Adams.
@@userer4579 are you kidding? Crowded house and split ends are incredible
Neil Finn sucks ass lol

The perfect drinking alone song!!

Kathrine, that sucks but glad ya got ya shine on
Perfect description
watch?v=4E9ydw_aDMg ...my kind of drinking alone song :)
Aren't they all.. Sighb
Certainly one of the most talented singer/songwriters on the planet.
Thanks..I’m the recipient of part of that kudo
Cap
Agreed. Just so great
one of the most gut-wrenching songs ive ever heard in my fucking life. i love you dearly Ryan A
This song rips my guts out. Every. Time. SoFuckingGood!
CPR4LIFE amen to that. but it gets better ☺
CPR4LIFE Good God me too
I love the recorded version of this song, but there's just something so emotional and raw when the harmonica is played live here that takes this performance to a different level
Its so good it hurts, good kind of hurt.
@@liquid7315 ♥ 😔
It's like a wailing cry of some sort. I agree completely. So much much feeling, simply beautiful.
truly and well said
This song is dark, spellbinding genius. Surely the finest songwriter of his generation.
He's up there for sure, but I prefer the duo of Dean & Gene Ween.
your damn right
I love love love Ryan, but I gotta say Elliott Smith comes in first place for me.
@@francesward2830 I think Jeff Buckley deserves mention in this conversation as well. But he only released one full album before his untimely death. I also really like Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains as a lyricist.
@@francesward2830 Damn straight. Waltz #1 is just untouchable
I die a little every time I hear a Ryan Adams song. He's that goddamn good.
You should live a little longer, they bring hope.
Me too, Jennifer, me too.
Word.
I second that ...”word”
Jennifer Orozco so true Is the words spoken by a broken man
You know you’re good when the other songwriters in the circle start mouthing along with your lyrics
They were in awe
How am I 50 and just experiencing Mr. Adam’s now? His music resonates with me.
I'm very excited about the journey you are about to go on. Please indulge in all his work, especially Whiskeytown. One of, if not the most prolific and talented songwriters of our generation. Saw him live in Detroit with just a guitar and a piano and it was life changing.
@@drdng8621I saw Whiskeytown in Asheville, NC in the 90’s, small little place. Absolutely blew me away.

This is so game-changing I'm at a loss -- hail hail Ryan!!!!
Ryan Adams is the ultimate genius. One of the best song writers and performers. I'd place him at the top with John Haitt , L Lovett, Doc Pomus, Daryl Hall and Josh Kelley.
Outstanding list!
That melody over an almost perfect minor chord progression is up there with the best acoustic songwriters. 🍑
Seriously this just wrecks it. That is just talent.
Another outstandingly beautiful song ,all the lyrics are so sad and yet so true ,no one has a way with words like Ryan Afams ,.🌸🌺💞🌷💕♥️🌺💝💖💖💖💖💖🧬🌹

wannabe Neil Diamond
It’s epic. What are the other two?

It will always be one of my most favorite songs…I love Ryan…He’s really not the douchebag he got played out to be..He just got #metoo’d
You can see Neil Finn getting hepped up by it. He's just something to behold when he's in his flow. Wonderful.
they both in awe of him
Unbelievably good. Ryan Adams, stripped back to acoustic guitar, harmonica and that voice. Superb
Heartbreaker is truly one of the most perfect albums of all time...anyone who argues that is no friend of mine....
no doubt. and cold roses is even better.
@nathanstevens5193Amen You spoke my heart and thoughts beautifully ,as I couldn't agree with you more,God bless you always.💕💞🌸💐♥️💝🌺🌺💖💖💖💖🧬🌹
OMG, so raw, so honest, so beautiful, and so sad.
this song looks like it put Neil Finn on the verge of tears. heartbreaking stuff
Neil Finn is one of the greatest songwriters ever. That says something
I love Ryan and this song is one of my favorites from him. Neil Finn is my all time favorite. However, I feel like he’s thinking ‘damn, Ryan’s been through way more shit than me.’
if memory serves me correctly, there was some needle between the two of them at this session. so Neil is probably thinking: tw*t.
@@hoojamaflicks There was. Ryan Adams apparently kept taking out his phone to win an eBay auction for any shirt.
Ha! That's the look of Finn dying inside.
I heard this song come on RUclips when I was taking a very long hangover shit, but I managed to see the end of the song, one of my favourite artists ever, respect x
When I want to have an American experience I play this song in the car (I'm an Australian living in the US), but actually I know this song from "home" -- it reminds me of being young and f**ked up myself.
That harmonica fucking crushes me everytime. I think it says more than the lyrics ever could..
I cried first time I heard this song...a friend shared this song with me..
A GREAT friend shared it with you.
So, this is THE BEST rendition of this song!! Absolutely amazing, I love it!!
Finn a legend, look at his awe on his face ....Another level indeed but ...Distant sun comes close
I heard this for the first time just a couple of days ago.
All I can say is "Crap. Now I need to be repaired..."
He's just amazing.
Cheers!
He is a living legend. A Dylan in descriptive lyrics but in a spaceship. A unique artist that hasn't even attacked yet.
Unh hunh
Gawd YES
My first time I heard this, was when I watched "Elizabethtown" movie. LOVED it!! You are incredible.
Turned me into a fan with this one song
Could be one of the best heartache songs ever.
I can't stop listening to him sing this. I have never heard such a beautiful live performance.
thats as about as good as any song gets. it just absolutely tears you apart
They are just marveling at his talent. Ryan Adams is a G.
Ryan Adams man... I really dig the writing style, and the bluegrass, country, bluesy rock mix he's got goin on. And he can't be over 32.... He's got the same kind of soul and passion that I do.... It's a tough business though.... HEY RYAN, COME PICK ME UP N JAM WITH ME. WE'D DO AN AWESOME HARMONY!
I want to jam too
his music feeds my soul more then any other. will yall judge me on my songs? i need to no
This song shatters me every single time.
This is what perfection looks like
I’ve lost a million tears to Ryan’s beautiful music. Fuck, is he something else.

Quite possibly one of the romantic songs ever written. This is unconditional love at it's deepest.
This song is heartbreaking but it is not romantic. Romance is not allowing yourself to get treated like shit. Romance is love and strength.
Painful, bit self-destructive, beautiful, but romantic? Hmm.
@@andyferguson6474

cry every time I hear it..
With guilt?
ryan adams is the bollocks - what a song what a performance from the man!!!
still the best thing ever
I've seen RA preform at least 100 times - this has to be one of the best of the best renditions ever.
This cuts right through the soul
Didn't realize YT had so much Ryan posted 👍🍷
Powerful song. Made me tear up. I felt it.
Been following Ryan ever since 'The Patty Duke Syndrome' days. He just gets better and better .....
one of the most beautiful sad songs i've ever heard.
My absolute favourite recording of this song!.. it's always haunting but especially here.. perfection x
He is just brilliant .The End 🙌🏻🙌🏻
saw him last night in York last night still amazing
There all friends and love each other and small animals !!!That wine was strong cheers peeps
he was so into this song you could see both of them in total admiration! love it!!
magnifique chanson ,belle voix,rythme très doux agréable les paroles sont claires .quelle belle musique ,ça va être une belle nuit avec ce rythme"merci Gûnter Touchner" grâce à toi je découvre une très belle musique et un chanteurs excellent
The song that actually turned me into DRA's loyal fan. Bless his heart, it's been such a great rollercoaster that's only going up for me ever since.
Keep returning to this song
Unreal, lucky enough to see Neil Finn and Ryan Adams but to see them together, This is what the BBC was made for
Not sure that I've ever heard such a raw performance, maybe Blaze Foley, maybe Todd Snider, but holy moly this is truth, like it or not.
Holy shit! I’ve watched this many times over the years because I love it so much and always thought-I know that’s Neil Finn but who’s the old guy? JANICE IAN. Wow lol
He's one of those acts that just keeps getting better and better, and just as soulful and lively in person as you might imagine from his studio work.
Larry Chisholm 😊
Pure emotion and pure talent, one of my all time favourite performances. I will never stop playing this ❤️
Easy one of most amazing performances of all time. Crazy beautiful
It's that daggum harmonica, I'm telling you...absolutely makes this performance. So beautiful and so much emotion in it.
Yeass! “Come Pick Me Up!” Legend and freaking Prodigy🔥
this is my favorite thing
He is.....Absolutely One of The Best Ever.
You can Feel his music, and if You can't....just go listen to what the masses say is popular.
An acoustic guitar and a Man beautifully conveying A depth of emotion that is almost painful, in an amazing way
3 of my musical heroes/heroines....just amazing :-)
So goooood! I hope we will get many more songs and records from Ryan!
Its a shame that only a million people have seen this video
Such basic yet deep lyrics.
Everyone connects with them.
Everybody who knows what love is, both sides.
By far the best performance of this beautiful song...so warm and emotional...
Heck yeah-- nice awesome tune. Love the harmonica in this. The chorus is heartbreakingly beautiful
They are in awe. And so am I.:o)
One of the few perfect records!
kills me every time i hear it rings so true in my life
this song is honest. that's it's magic
That's how to perform ❤
No boundaries in the singing 😊😊❤
sol seldom have I seen such fantastic camera work to go alongside (and pair with) such emotion
I first heard him in 2009 and never stopped after that! I love him and his pitch perfect song writing is best!
yes I've looked him in the eye personally as I was there and met him after the show, his eyes will quite literally penetrate your heart beautiful man...
Ryan Adams and Conor Oberst are the best songwriters of the last 25 years!
Jason Isbell is right there too. They all are phenomenal and on a different level
BEAUTIFUL WORK
