Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, “How Do You Keep Love Alive” & “Pearls On A String” (Nov 2007)

the latter performance is one of my favourites ever because it’s an utterly charming acoustic rendition with the whole band sat at and around Letterman’s desk. also bonus!Nellie McKay on ukelele.

I’ve got a really good heart, I just can’t catch a break.
If I could, I’d treat you like you wanted me to,
I promise.
