On last night's episode of The Late Show with David Letterman, Irish folk singer Damien Rice stopped by to perform "I Don't Want to Change You" from his latest album My Favourite Faded Fantasy, which you can check out below. Rice is backed up by a string septet and delivers a beautiful, though somewhat abridged, version of the song, which runs over five minutes for the studio version, but only hits four minutes here.
