2024 and I still love this song. ❤
11 years later and it’s still an amazing epic masterpiece
I’ve watched in 100 times and I still get a chill
That string quartet, the female violinist, the lead guitar, the singing, the PASSION. Fark.
INNNNNNDEEED
My number one song of all time. Unbeatable
It really is!
I get chills each time i hear this, i have not heard a song emote so much pain and self torture like this. I feel this guys pain through the lyrics, music and vocals. Haunting.
Douche
I'm hearing it for the first time, after finishing Mikel's amazing memoir and wondering about this song, and knowing a bit of the story behind it. All the feels.
This is one of the greatest live performances of all time
Some of the most powerful and visually haunting lyrics in the history of music.... stunning!
This band is so underrated and in 2021 i still love this song
This is my favorite Letterman tune ever , his reaction is classic.. he knows they nailed it and he doesn’t really know what to say, awesome live tune!!
Flipping channels 14 years ago and landed on Dave introducing a band named The Airborne Toxic Event who I never heard of. The song and the performance gave me crazy chills. Fast forward 4 months and my wife and I fly to London from North Carolina to see them perform at KOKO. At least 15 times after that in 7 different states. I’m in awe of this band and the music they make.
The storytelling is just so on point.
I like how the song has "feelings". The beats and tempo get faster and angrier as the story progresses. It fits in perfectly with the story. You don't see that often, very well done!!
The string quartet had one job and nailed it!! Love it!!
one of Letterman's top 10 live performances. Top 5 "angst/breakup" songs of all time. Anna is entranced. The vocals are so raw. Incredible
The whigs
Arguably my favorite version of arguably my favorite song of all time! The String Quartet was a great addition!
Still can't listen to this without a tear 😢 this song came out at the hardest point in my life I'll never forget it.
Still loving this band. Wish I could see another concert
11 years and still one of the best songs to ever be "radio music"
The music changes to match the emotions and, damn, it hurts. Amazing performance.
Probably my favorite performance of this song ever. The energy is just unmatched.
One of those songs that you can play over and over as if you were reliving your past through these powerful n emotional lyrics. I think that's the recipe to a masterpiece...
2021 and just found this song and I can't stop listening
I'm addicted to listening to this song. Like, I have a problem and I'm not gonna seek help
Same friend, found help yet?
One of the best written songs in about 10 years. Eerie, Angry, Perfect.
It's the art of feeling the music, my friend!
Yes this one the great songs around, keep listening and listening not boring at all
I love that the Calder Quartet (with Anna's brother Andrew) played so brilliantly on this version.
Love love love. And the song was cut down for TV. Top 5 song for me
3:23 You know you're rocking when your violin string breaks.
It’s a reed string. Happens all the time but I get your point
LMAOOOO
@@ofalltrades7403 it's the bow's hair ( they have like 150 to 170 strands ). Happens all the time but I get your point.
The best part was the sincerity of Dave's reaction. Nice job! :-)
This song is so good; even after all the years, it still affects me viscerally.
I'll hear it in 2024, and it's as beautiful as the first day I heard it at Matuschke on Bayern 3 - 2009!
Can't deny it....Amazing poetry, great sound = Great band !
just try to escape the rhythm and the story !
They're a sweet combo with that quartet, I love it.
Came back to revisit this after Hollywood Park and it still holds as one of the best live performances I've seen. I'm sure it must have been a treat for everyone in the audience who actually got to see this live. Such pure and raw emotion.
Such an excellent song
Never heard of them
Saw these guys live a couple years back. Talk about an emotional concert. One for the books! Amazing band.
Fucking awesome. That is all.
This song and Mr. Brightside, man...
Got chills watching this video.... i have to see them live😀😀😀😀
One of the best songs this decade. Such a fantastic band. Can't wait for their new album to drop in a week.
Beautiful
i love the way anna bumps as the music goes. when i saw them last year, she went crazy with her tambourine and jumped into the crowd. it was awesome.
Just superb.
You can tell both Paul and Dave were sincere in exclaiming they both really enjoyed that performance. The string section was into it big time!
always listened to this song bc of how nice it was, now that i can relate to it i cant help but cry
What a great performance
Such a good song
Never heard of these guys until I saw them on Letterman, and now I can't get enough! BEST EVER BAND on Letterman!
I just have to see them, i just have to see them, live in concert !
Have you seen them in concert yet??!?
My first time hearing this group. Wow. This song is just, ouch! Liked them so much.
Awesome song + live performance
I get goosebumps listening to this..
Incredible! Can't stop listening and watching. Passed it on to friends and they love it too. WOW!
I have LIVED this song....CHILLS!!!!!!!
I know I commented on this a few years ago, but man it is as good today as it was then. A killer performance by these guys of a song that has oceans of emotions. Love the band's energy, and even the broken string fits right in with that. Thanks TATE and Letterman for that!
This group so awesome live. Love love them.
Found it. Amazing!
Damn I Love This Song !!!!!
Poets and artists struggle to capture the wrenching, can't catch your breath, there's no tomorrow pain of being left behind. Mikel Jollett and this masterpiece captures that feeling as well as anyone or anything I've come across in a very long time. A classic.
Lovely
it gives me chills
i freakin love this band
they're so original
The fact Dave loved it tells you everything you need to know.
Love this song and this is the best version!!!
man i would love to see this song in person! String instruments make every song sound better!!
Absolutely Fabulous! These guys are going to be BIG!!! Love them! Heard them for the first time last night on Jimmy Kimmel show and started looking for the same version with the quartet. Love it. And I am an opera singer!
Awesome
this busts you up no matter how powerful you think you are
Perfection
Great band! So thrilled to hear they have tour dates again!
Did they end up getting in any of their dates before the pandemic swept through?
so, so great. this version just has so much great emotion and feeling in it.
It hurts me SO much that Lil Wayne etc are top of the charts, whilst hardly anyone knows the brilliance of this band...
Epic...
SOOOO effing amazing!!!
i got to see them last night ... they were awesome
Awesomeness!!!
Damn, this song speaks VOLUMES of truth!!! FIVE STARS!
The best!
This track hits different
I have to come back to this video every month or so. Reminds me of times past and somehow keeps me right.
WOW! that was awesome! the buildup in this version was outstanding! ♥️
Puts you right back in that moment of anguish.
read his book hollwood park know exactly what chapter this came from. by far the best book i have ever read, it's on kindle too. i highly recommend. also i love his dad...coolest dad ever, probably saved his boys life!
Reading it right now. Great book!
I'm here because of the book too. Its hard to say if Mikel is a beter writer or musician. Anyway... what a performance!
Great ❤️🎸🙏
This is the song for my girlfriend and me. I left her for my life in '93. Left my wife for her in 2022. She is my one true love.
So devastating ❤❤❤❤
Beyond words. Just beyond words.
How the hell am I just hearing this in 2017??? Stupid radio stations ... Outstanding...
AMEN!!!!! LOVE THIS GROUP!!!!
I always cringe and turn off these music shows when I used to watch late night tv... but this one... i was mesmerized.... back before internet it wasn't easy to find and the I confused the band name... found it years later.... amazing song and performance
Class
these guys are awesome
Absolutely and totally amazing.
this is great
this guy talks from experience and i can relate to him so much
There you go guys! one song you guys can be proud of this decade.
I have fallen SO hard for you guys!! I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!
Wow!!! That was friggin' awesome! Letterman doesn't usually give compliments, so I guess that's saying something!
i thought this was The Church when i first heard it on the way to Seoul airport on the military radio station. they didn't say who it was at the end so i googled "holding her tonic like a cross" and the rest, shall we say, is history.
You know when David is Wowed
haha dave:
"heh, that was good. i liked that."
THIS SONG IS NOT ONLY AMAZING, IT IS FUN TO PLAY AND SING TO ..........
That was badass!!
I think most of us can put ourselves in the position of loss.
that part at 2:35 ... it's sublime. I feel infinte xP no joke.
The only part of any other song that hits me as powerfully (I tiny bit more actually) is Blink 182 Adam’s Song official video start that at 3:04 You’ll see what I mean:
I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
