[GarethW09]

My girlfriend is away on holiday, and thus has given me 17 love letters, to open on each day she's away. Today I opened the first one, and I just had to listen to this song as I read it.

[MrDavehef]

@GarethW09 True love! Good 4 u buddy!

[Zaturnity]

OMG! I can't even watch this without crying. I love him so...

@evansg1984 How could anyone not love Tom Waits?

[shawndimery]

@evansg1984 Yeah he does, I think I read somewhere years ago that one of his favourite albums is Frank's Wild Years

[2teenah2]

[thegorn68]

He's the best song writer I have to admit that I have come across in my 42 years on this planet so far.

[sedutasullalunax]

dell'organizzazione.. "che fai dopo vuoi venire al party con Cave? brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............­....................meno male che avevo il moroso laureato in lingue :D che nottata..Blixa che non trovava più il suo beauty e cercava disperatamente della cipria o altro,Nick Cave che con occhialoni scuri rispondeva all'intervista scocciatissimo :) e poi la festa..non dimenticherò mai..

[welshmaidn]

Still one of my all time favorite songs. Live is best.

[joshwuh88]

Perfect....

just perfect.

[Rogli]

When you do a YouTube search for Nick Cave the first suggestion after you typed 'Nick ' is 'Nick Jonas'.  It's a sad, sad world.

[KyleNarayan]

@Rogli one has always to look for the good things in life. only cheap shots are cheap ^^

[Samelie81]

@Rogli Ooh that was a year ago... now it's Nicky Minaj.. even sadder!

[bujjub]

Seen him at melb airport and at st kilda

[malibumut]

Overwhelmingly brilliant

[gusferno]

Top Man



[Biffer5]

The man can write a song. And what a great album.

[poodlesusan]

3:05

...I'm going out of my mind

Will leave me standing in

The rain with a letter and a prayer

Whispered on the wind...

[guitarsark]

love him

[mikebeliveau]

Hey, nice of Warren to get dressed up! ; ) Nick and the Seeds rule!

[reconjohn61]

Talent with a capital TTTTTTT.

[ANGELASHELDRAKE]

This is a beautiful song . . . absolutely adore it! x

[LuciferComplex]

I love that he just fucking leaves while Dave is talking.

[Zaturnity]

@LuciferComplex  Haha! Me too.

[lilyslimit]

Did I hear a sour note get hit somewhere around 1:43?

[nush64]

@lilyslimit So fucking what? You do it.

[lilyslimit]

@nush64 hey I was just asking---why are you so hostile?

[littlegreenbag]

@lilyslimit no because he repeats it at 2:47

[romanoisnumber1]

check out Mates of States' cover and video of Nick Cave's Love Letter on youtube.

[jessimeden]

Crap, this has real-world applications in my life RIGHT NOW.

[rooduck]

[Izquierez]

[KaleyAngel101]

Hey I got a song called Love Letter also!!! really cool will you when you get a chance give me some pointers!!!

[2teenah2]

[kenuzy1]

Go get her Nick. She'll take you back. Bless your soul.

[aseachbreathgoesby]

fucking Powerful

[antoncrowley615]

Holy fucking shit. This song hits you.

[Ulisexgang]

"Come back to me, come back to me, oh babe please come back to me" This part kills me... Ive seen him once and that was just the only song i missed... Your fucking God Cave.

[TheMegalia]

one of the most amazing song ever! a great writer with outstanding voice!

[SvenIsHere]

truly amazing

[nevlfc]

What a songwriter!

[1234bluebluepurple]

RIP Kate xx

[myboomstick]

@1234bluebluepurple aww damn didn't know she passed away!!!

a belated RIP :(

[rrrick1000]

Wow!!!!! Spellbinding! How does he do it? Who cares keep doing it nick. He puts most songwriters to shame. What variety as well from Grinderman to stuff like this. Incredible.

[trilcesita82]

No sabía que la mamá de Martha y Rufus murió, gran cantautora, una pena :(

[gmarkandrews]

how mark got me...... a love letter.

[nortonius]

RIP Kate McGarrigle big kiss

[uprussia]

Agree with Orbilial, a true poet

[sonnysburning5133]

the love song that all love songs should be matched against, in the verseand rime

[guellimots]

What a beautiful song...

[edstone1]

and he spits those out like they are nothing the bastard,)

[sustainedXnoise]

meow

[tomlind68]

wish i could ever write a song like this to my sad love... shit

[thebruno44]

makes me feel about an inch tall.... truly amazing writer... and underappreciated.

[bookletbook2000]

is beatlc for real..... you didnt hear of this man till you met him in 99?

[TheAstilas]

immenso

[amirper2000]

what an amazing piano go perfect with nick cave :)

[orbilial]

one of the best songwriters in our time

[beatlc]

Beatiful song. I met Mr. Cave in 1999 at the crossroads in Breaux Bridge Louisiana. He was on his honeymoon with Susie Bick. I'm sure he thought no one would ever recognize him there. Seriously in the middle of nowhere on the banks of the Bayou Teche. That night I looked up his music. I've been hooked ever since.

[OliverBunce]

@beatlc thats when he wrote God is in the house! i would of been thrilled to meet him, lucky you man!

[beatlc]

Excellent as always, such a mover.

[DrunkClown69]

awesome piano.. nick cave rules.

[ed1962]

hahahahah letterman got rolled

[DEVILSREJECT000]

have any of you seen a real long and in-depth interview with nick cave on any late night talk show? Don't you think the guy is interested in performing and might be a bit shy(even still)? To me it didn't seem as a rude gesture, but more as an "I'm done, where do I do from here?"

[asjabluedog]

Totally agree and by his own admission doesn't really like being in the spotlight. Some may say this seems silly because he is a performer but as he has said before  "when you are on stage at a concert, you can really only see the first few rows anyway!"

[kensmeatmarket]

Nick's answer to McCartney's Yesterday?

And yes it is very funny when he walks away from Letterman

[aimlessalchemist]

So funny when Nick walks away and Letterman is like, what wtf.

[Grentyr]

Nick Cave is always fresh, G.

[AvantiRold]

awesome, so much... i dont know, hard to describe...

[kokli1]

perfect.

[ace296692]

Gorgeous song!

Did anyone notice how Nick Cave started walking away at the end and Dave stopped clapping as if to say, "where the heck is he going?" I don't think Dave was too thrilled about that. lol! Look for it, it's quite funny. 4:01.

Spectacular performance!

[asjabluedog]

noticed as well! Nick has never been very conventional thank goodness!

[danijel42]

pa da prao dobra.

[nightshade7206]

Nick Cave is now and will always be a lyrical genius. He has more talent in his thumb then I could ever dream of.

[nicomadriz]

nowadays no one has the guts (let alone the talent) to write such an amazing LOVE song... I guess it's not an easy topic to deal with in a serious way. it seems more and more like a lost craft, a thing of the past, with the odd exception here and there...if this doesn't move you you're dead, brother!!

[sonnysburning5133]

i am in agreement(if that is a word) no one wants to be so much in love, look out you might get hurt.

[davecanobi]

What a SONG!!!

[raidersofthe22]

hahaha, David Letterman looks pretty confused after Nick Cave shakes his hand and then walks backstage.

[mypStyle]

that is the best love song i ever ever heard -

[BigglesworthIV]

di nick cave feature in the recent planet of the apes film remake

[bcdfghjk]

"Rain your kisses down upon me

Rain your kisses down in storms

And for all who'll come before me

In your slowly fading forms"

[ashburnhouse]

Where the fuck did that melody come from!!!!!!!!? It's like a sledge hammer right to the guts.

[burnmazes]

Amazing

[rupertducker]

However, the album version is so much better ; it has strings ! !

[lilithbernstein]

rupertducker, what do you think the people in the back are playing???

[rupertducker]

Such a beautiful song ; so reflective of my English upbringing (even though this chap is apparently Australian ! ) This would surely have to be Nick's most beautiful song !

[agula2002]

uwielbiam Nicka, a tą piosenkę zwłaszcza. Jest niesamowita

[imhavingmentalblocks]

love letter, love letter

go get her, go get her... (mm)

[MavisHyacinth]

love the prodominately female emsemble as well, havent seen that much at all with Nick, they are great!

[sleepingpirate]

Kate is Rufus Wainwright's mother as well, Anna is his aunt.

[MavisHyacinth]

for all my disfunctional late nights i've never been lucky enough to catch Nick on letterman, (have discovered two now on u tube- u tube is great!) bit of an interesting exit on this, whats thats about??

[sonjagloriana]

I've loved this song from the first and still do! It makes the world better place, and every heartache easier to bear. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[charmedhour]

Such a beautiful, emotive voice; gets me every time. He really seems to concentrate his whole being on the spirit of the song.

I must admit that I'm rather partial to his gentler side...

[Mootsen]

awesome!!

[aikho]

el puto amo

[Mootsen]

Fantastic Nick!

[toriden19]

That is the most heartbreaking song I have ever heard.

[parolegioiello]

...... nulla da fare... la musica ci unisce.... al di là della vita... consolida ricordi... che conserverò, dopotutto.... quante lettere d'amore scritte.... non le gettare via.....

[bausy88]

Nick Cave always seems to be better live than on the albums. Speaks great volumes about his talent.

[andboy]

If that's even possible...you are right :P. He the Seeds had a lotta heart.

[taoistcowboy123]

If you love love letters, check out the "candy colored clown" clip with dennis hopper discussing the meaning of love letter for Frank...

[Jaaaaam]

If there's an appalling Hollywood remake of Blue Velvet they could cast Nick as Frank Booth and it might just save it.

[taoistcowboy123]

That might be asking a bit much. I dunno,... maybe cast Nick as the Dean Stockwell character...lampshade and all!

[Jaaaaam]

Ideally cast Blixa Bargeld as Frank and then have Nick playing Dean Stockwell's Ben. Blixa's a far better actor.

[waldfox]

wonderful^^

[vicepresidentfru1tly]

One of my favourite song's of his! No more shall we part is a flawless album!

[debbiemott]

This is such an amazing song! And I have just bought tickets to his Brighton concert cause I heard that he will sing this, I am sooooo excited!

[steveokennell]

it was a great gig, the banter with the crowd and somehow managing to sound better live than the record!!!

[MrRoboto2]

It was an amazing gig! "All the way from Albania"!

[Hirnlego999]

It does in fact sound better than on the album.

[lilithbernstein]

definitely!

[LogandJam]

was interesting to see nick cave's more recent stuff, the first I saw of him was birthday party which is very different. wicked musician.

[dsignrdane]

you're right about birthday party. it's really out there but in a good way. i like both "sides" of his music through the years ;)

[Adventurestud]

Oh the ache of a broken heart. He captures it and puts into lyrical form so well. What a gift.

[2teenah2]

NOT ONLY A BEAUTIFUL SOUL, BEAUTIFUL POETRY, VOICE, NICK CAVE IS DEFINED AS ART.

pERFECT LIVE!

[Hjaldinho]

I can just keep watching this video - it's amazing. But the most magical moment in this must be when Nick just leaves Letterman standing alone on the stage...

[dopa43]

nick cave is a great singer in every situation  he always does the best he is a serius person

[dougknight7]

pretty beautiful song.....Cave on cable in the U.S....rare....

[Bifrons]

@dougknight7 3:08 gives me chills "goin' out of my mind". They way he sings that line shows genuine passion. Very powerful. Yeah, he doesn't come here often. Been lucky enough to see him 3 times here. I hope Grinderman comes around. Like to check that out live.

[fnord68]

lovely song.

some people do ballads in such a sentimental way it makes you wanna puke.

not cave......he keeps it simple and true and boy,if ever a song could make a grown and somewhat cynical man cry,this is that song.

[cisco1225]

does anyone know where to find the sheet music for this??

[veganworld]

Oh that was so awesome when he just walked the fuck away from Letterman!!! Nick Cave, you make this world more beautiful!
