Valentine's Day Gift of Unconditional Love Courtesey of Neil Nathan

Happy Valentine's Day, waveriders.  To bring in the day of love and smooshy feelings, we wanted to share with new the newest video by Ripple favorite, Neil Nathan.

Neil's goal with this project was to make the ultimate interactive Hallmark card for the ultimate Hallmark holiday, so he asked his friends and fans to send their best unconditional love photos and they really delivered!  Some of the photos, are cute, some are special, and some may just take your breath away.

We're really excited about this it as it's a very touching display of the love that resides in each of us.  And in this day and age of killing, war, and hatred, can't we all use just a little bit more love?  Sappy, we know.  Not the hardest rock and roll sentiment, but damn if it isn't true. 

The video edited by Vaj Potenza ("My Brightest Diamond Freak Out Gold Chains Remix") who also directed Neil's "Darling Friend" video.  It's for my song "You're Mine," off Neil's latest EP, The Nearest Future. That EP also includes the song "Glide," which was featured in the disturbing Rosario Dawson flick "Descent."

For all things Neil Nathan, click here.

We're posting this video today to share the love, literally!

Ripple News - New Holiday Video from Neil Nathan Raising Money for Charity

It's been a great year for Ripple favorite, Neil Nathan.

First, Neil recently opened for one of his favorite singer/songwriters, Sam Roberts. Second, Neil's video for his folky cover of ELO's "Do Ya" (Californication Season 2 Soundtrack) was featured on Fuse On Demand, The Insider.com, and Magnet Magazine among others. You can see it here. The song also received extensive radioplay internationally, including XM/Sirius's The Coffehouse and CUIT across Canada.

Finally, Neil has ended the year on a strong note by releasing his folky lullaby cover of the Xmas classic, "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. "

Our holiday gift to you is a free download of the song, which you can get here.

Neil has also released a hilarious and darkly comic video for the song. It was directed by Zev Deans, whose recent Survivaball Yes Men video was featured in the NY Times and Huffington Post.

Neil is using the song/video to raise money for a charity started by the family of his lifelong friend who died in the WTC on 9/11.

The Fred Gabler Helping Hand Camp Fund sends underprivileged youth to summer camp.

If you enjoy the video, please help the cause by sharing it with anyone you think might also enjoy it and donate to the cause.

We are also giving you a free download of the song that Neil wrote for Fred after frantically searching for him in hospitals throughout NYC and realizing he was indeed gone. It's called Freddy's Song and was featured in the NY Post's Page Six.
