Ryan Adams - Dear John

[TheFizz40]

I've met him a few times. No denying his talent, but when he drinks (this was before he married Mandy Moore), he could be one very mean person. Not a person who handles his alcohol well.

[rieewoldt]

channeling tom waits?

[grifftrain]

Great song. Great song

[nealio1978]

I'm probably gonna get fired cuz I'm at work and cant stop watching this long enough to be productive!

[1stSaintsFan]

He is brilliant and he is poking Mandy Moore as a lawfully wed Husband...Pretty cool in my book...

[Heavensent4Me]

Wow, Ryan is so amazing and his voice is very touching. He knows how to touch a soul.

[adsensedd]

Ryan Adams churns out a lot of music. Most of it is good and about 20% of it is music which has no peer. I don't really know much about his personality, I just know he is a prolific song writer of immense talent and I hope he keeps doing this stuff for another 50 years. I'll keep listening.

[GregDrJJones]

For those of you giving props to guitarist/vocalist Neal Casals, and anyone else who wants to see/hear RA at his uplugged best in an intimate setting--playing with ultimate sideman, Casals, Google: ryan adams neal casals st james church, Ireland

[GregDrJJones]

@GregDrJJones It's actually, "Casal," no s on the end.

[metalmaniac767]

Neal absolutely nails those harmonies!!

[hugosalarm]

There hasn't been a talent to rival this guy's in the last forty years.

[fattythornton]

Do you want to see a grown man cry?! Superb.

[Swaggs303]

class song pure as

[R0SSTav]

Listened to this a good 30 times on repeat all night...................and now it is morning. Looking forward to his gig at the end of the month.

[timwalkersings]

So good. Thanks for these videos.

[brennle1]

Amazing.



[muzik4evanme]

I think his music is brilliant and talent is phenominal!!!

[captainjuans]

everybody keeps railing on about how eccentric ryan adams is. yeah, he's probably a little off - most artsy people are. but, good grief, look at jim james... he's probably barely sane enough to be able to function in society. give mr. adams a break and just enjoy the music.

[fear03fear]

I didn't know Prof. Snape played bass...

[zekemuffin]

Holy beejesus!! This is just about too good to fathom. Why do I even try?

[wise50965096]

actually, neil is singing ryan's old part, ryan is singing norah'

s

[Sealoversatsang]

I miss you Oh John like the oshun misses the fire of the Son

[robynheming]

I'm in love!! <3



[erykah0708]

lyrical genius...

"Two silvers rings, one's on my finger and the other one's gone"

[vanburenballplayer]

I wish there were more musicians like Ryan, what a brilliant musician.

[thinlinechris]

I think props have to go to Neal Casal for pulling off the Norah Jones parts... good lord.

[xxiwin54xx]

This song just hits me so hard even though i can't relate. you can just feel it. It makes me just think about people like kesha and the mainstream music today. it literally makes me sick.

[benocummiskey]

Ive been waiting, for such a great clean live video of Ryan like this for 10 years.. ..its GOLD... luv this song...The whole bbc4 concert is amazing....watched the lot last nite with a 6 pack ,,inspiring performance.......supreme.....­Ryan is the man.. and the Cards too....the pedal steel playing really hits the money , and neals guitar and back ups are awesome....

[rugshort]

@benocummiskey Where can you download it?

[beekoboy3]

@benocummiskey save me one brother, this is the goods (these bbc live concerts)

[Recovrd1]

I never get tired of hearing this song... I can listen to it over and over. It actually gets better every time you listen to it! Brilliant songwriter....

[MirandaRonson]

I have no idea who Ryan Adams is but Esteban Granero published this song on his twitter page haha I love Esteban Granero , Hala Madrid!

[Jiggahata1]

Fav. Ryan Adams song "So Alive" "Two" "For no one" and "Come Pick me up" It started in 1999 and I saw this wicked CD cover "Rock and Roll. Been a fan since! However, not really feeling is Cardinal band, find their songs to be a bit twangy and country. Just like him as solo

[lowellmorris]

@Jiggahata1 "two" is actually a cardinals song, just penned as a solo record!

[Jiggahata1]

@lowellmorris really? maybe I should the cardinals a chance :D

[planetdude13]

love the backin vocals

thanks for uploading

[takesalototime]

far out he's good!

[mrbamajama]

@takesalototime Hello mate from the USA type in Ryan Adams/Hallelujah its not what you think ,ITS BETTER

[takesalototime]

@mrbamajama G'Day & Thank you!... mate :) he warms my cockles no end!! :)

[juicemcnorway]

Stop by my hand to listen to my band coving Ryan Adams songs. Thanks Ya'll

[Chinesevituperation]

this is one of my favourite RA songs.. lyrics are one of the best he's ever written

[rugshort]

Spectabulous.

[wh7gator]

This is incredible. 

[L10161649]

Oh, fuck....so beautiful, so disturbing

[BradleyCraig69]

Kind of sounds like Rufus Wainwright here a lil bit huh?

[Understandtheimage]

Yep...totally hear what you're talking about. Rufus should cover it.

[christia0608]

why not in greece?:((

[radkid06]

This is just PHENOMENAL.

[radkid06]

YEAH RYAN!!! Get it man. Finally one with GREAT sound!!! 

[mikkeldrewsen]

Love this...

[MattyNorthstar]

AMAZING song!

[MilesStone92]

this song brings my heart pain.

one of the reasons why ryan is, to say the least, such an amazing writer.

[snapitoff2002]

Ryan is a genius, and props to Neal for that harmony....

[littlestar3103]

it seems so sad now to watch any show with the Cardinals...this song is so sublime in it's purity and beauty with the best mf'n band ever did Ryan Adams EVER sound so good?

[richardc1972cowboy]

that voice! Sublime

[carldougelder]

I've got every record of his I can get my hands on. From Whiskeytown's "Faithless Street" to "Cardinology"... this is one of my favorite songs, by him or anyone. I wish he could still make music, or wanted to keep making music, or whatever. I read that he has hearing problems, so I guess that's it. It was a great run though. The time I got to see him live in Atlanta remains a cherished concert memory.

[taylorrr1211]

Apparently Answering Bell was in the movie. I don't understand why this one wasn't. Seems a little more fitting, but I guess I need to see it to have a valid opinion.

Anyway, I love Ryan & The Cards, and I love this song.

[rabekawilliamsable]

Absolutely amazing! I read the book and fell in love with it. I watched this movie at hulufilms. net

[andradumitru]

this would fit perfectly on the Dear John movie soundtrack

[adgua350]

impressive impressive.... impressive. amazing artistry

[thebaldwomenshow]

he's a beautiful soul. life would not be tolerable without artistic souls such as this.

[walkaway123]

i have alway thought- if he was slightly more commercially inclined (which im glad his not- some of his songs, like dear john, could have some great music vids

[bloombowler]

Ryan is a very polarizing person; you either find him to be irritating or you find his eccentricity wildly entertaining.

Either way he a genius when it comes to music.

[macfae]

I think he is brilliant - he writes the most fascinating lyrics. .

and yes, I definitely find him "eccentricity wildly entertaining."

[TheNEWBobDylan]

@macfae ...anyone who thinks he's annoying is probably an asshole anyway...fuck the undiscerning fools. In the words of 'his Bobness' - ''I can't teach you how to weed it out".

[Tasteslikechikin]

@macfae

Here here....

[bloombowler]

You sir are a douche

[c0mputer]

Damn, I'm finding all these comment replies that I didn't know I had. I'm now trying to respond back. Okay, back to this comment. Yeah, I know it's Ryan Adams, it says so at the top of the video. I have a friend Ryan and I call him Brian. And that has morphed into Brain. It's just a thing I think is funny.

[dannyboooy72]

@bloombowler - I find him irritatingly entertaining.

[MOJOOfficialBandSite]

Great lyric and great music.

I respect him.

[n0072687]

doesn't matter what you guys think of him. he's an artist doing his thing. and unbelievably well. if you want nice and normal then listen to pop 40

[smurfieboo]

One of most magical evenings of my life

[hans1033]

wow wow wow. For such an ridiculously immature guy (i have to say he is exceptionally annoying in between songs live), he is consistently one of the most mature musicians I've ever heard. He makes you believe that he's singing that song from the head of a 60 year old widow. Much, much respect

[bingthewindbong]

shame he's leaving the cards

[themoormans]

one of his best songs

very soulful

so much better than the original version

[ChetSexington]

Kind of a DoucheHawk, it seems like -- but man, is this guy good...

[wandmug]

haha a "douchehawk"...he's more of a "chocolate chip douchecookie"
