acoustic Ryan Adams "In My Time of Need" 12.30.08

[Jenjen9503]

Best songwriter of my generation ! aching beautiful like so many of his other songs. He NEVER disappoints me!

[TThirdplaneTT]

I listen to Radiohead, The Strokes, Wilco, TVOTR....but I always come back to Ryan cuz it reminds me of home, comfort, pain, joy, peace, hurt...real people, real life.

[SuperMarketPunkRock]

even his cough is the most adorable thing ever

[jaxareback]

Ryan is the canvas,his talent is 360*. I listen and I am released.I don"t know what else to say ! !

[Owldorable]

Ryan soothes me like no other. I cannot even count the amount of times he has mended my broken heart.

[RedShipsofSpainAgain]

3 people had nobody in their time of need.

[philgarciaweir]

@RedShipsofSpainAgain o man, thats so sad...

[justinmark72]

hahaahaha louishager3............soooooo­ooo true!

[saddleking25]

awe he forgot one of my fav verses from this song!!! its like the build up when he starts strumming:

Cause it ain't like it was on back in those days

When everyone would offer up a hand

These old bones are worn

I've grown tired some

And I know my time is surely gonna come

[TheCompleteGuitarist]

Music transcends the technology required to capture it.

[xkillyouallx]

He is damn good thats all there is to it.

[Fenner1976]

Brilliant. A great thought-provoking track from RA. Nice.

[VivaElVodka]

He's too good!! Oh my, now I feel stupid, I just can't stop crying :'-(

[alphatyrone]

Only Ryan coughs so strategically.

[noellennon]

With all the money I've thrown at him, you'd hope he could afford a bookshelf.

[calebroberts08]

He's neil young reborn so he might as well play harmonica

[TylerMaple3009]

@calebroberts08 how can he be Neil Young reborn if he ain't dead yet? XP

[TheAray6]

@calebroberts08 he does :)

[AtmaRising]

one of the best for sure. the man can break you down in such a beautiful way, and build you back up in such an unfamiliar way.

[pritchardo92]

Heartbreaker is one of the best albums i've ever heard. Definite favourite.

[shelley9000]

@pritchardo92 For sure. Just listened to it again tonight for the first time in a couple years. My son; who basically only listens to death metal, didn't object. Made my night. :)

[vireogilvus]

Lotta reverb in that little room, eh?

[MeadowlakeRoad]

His voice makes me smile every time. Never gets old.

[AttackPanther]

There are so many other people playing and singing in their rooms on YouTube and I give them the benefit of the doubt and suggest it's the low-fi nature of their recording. This video proves that talent does not need high production values. Ryan Adams it pretty much amazing.

[mspye]

This is the most romantic song I've ever heard without a doubt.

[polishlady94]

i can't stop crying, what the hell.

[Drownedbytheriverman]

Christ Rick Moranis is looking young for his age.

[tplife007]

You can definitely hear sounds of Sweet Carolina in this.

[dtfilament]

@tplife007 also Townes "If I needed you" imo

[Mariekesone]

Great listen..his voice is so soft and soothing..:-)

[dupontman]

is there a accurate tab somewhere for this?

[casher1978]

@dupontman It's a capo on two. The chords are C G D And Am with some variation...as for the fingering, you'll just have to wing it. Hope that helps.

[dupontman]

thanks, but that was what I meant by accurate tabs :-) I got the basic part down, the intro/chorus part down, but not the verses and it will take too much time too look it off from the video :-)

[Scoredon88]

capo on 3

[ColdWAR27]

@casher1978 not 2 sound mean ,but look at his guitar the capo is on the 3rd and u start on a G. Ne1 looking for the easy way to play this use C G D and Am and listen to it and fit them as needed.

[smon93]

uhh wow. really good

What guitar is he using?

[louishager3]

Ryan Adams could use a block of wood with shoe laces and he would make beautiful music...A true musician and poet

[beautiful6277]

@louishager3 i give him my shoelaces because he liked them :)

[myenergytrade]

@louishager3 funny i was just thinking along those lines and saw this post..

[HowBadDoiWantThis]

...speechless

[paradox4849]

fuck U

[frontsummersault]

Thank you for putting out that record.

[frontsummersault]

does he have a license?

[frontsummersault]

When I first heard this song off the record I really believed every word.

[ebntin]

sorry man...

[ebntin]

i think like you...thanks for this great cover...

[ryanphillips86]

lol, cover?? do u even know who ryan adams is?

fail.

[CHYEAHox]

!! :)

[musicinducedeuphoria]

of course there's a stack of books behind him. I love that he's bookish and smart as well as musically genius.

[weaselD2nd]

his voice sounds so freakin awesome on this recording!!!

[Jordanclough13]

calliuz! you're a bit of a dope XD

[Calliuz]

Would just love to see Joan Baez' extraordinary take on it from her 2003 album "Dark Chords On A Big Guitar" on the Tube...

But I like your voice katiekav24 . but a little too slow a tempo maybe

[petermacinnis8]

hahaha

[burtondevore]

yeah.....pretty sure katiekav24 is not Ryan Adams. haha

epic fail.

[teampink97]

love it!! i luve ryan adams

[ugasdf]

beautiful

[omgwtvetc]

this is absolutely fabulous

[rattleU2]

LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG!

[TheScourgeResistant]

Music for the sufferable soul.

That's a good thing ;-)

[theeskimofriend]

couldnt have said any better mate..

[daisyzoozoo]

lovely lovely lush lush lush lovely

[Underoath1010]

pure perfection..

[RebelSoul1979]

One of the best.

[FlashEpic]

This guy never fails to impress. Even when I've heard the song a million times

[ant5marching]

thanks Katie!

[twinklefrufru]

thanks for grabbing, ryan and his damn "fickleblogging"!

[strawberrywineclouds]

If you have the time, please grab the new AOL sessions too - those not in the US can't watch them!

[northernmuse9]

Thanks for grabbing this. What this man shares with us (for however long or short a time) is simply astonishingly intimate. Some folks accuse him of playing games, but it's not a game to put yourself out there in the moment, real life, soul bared. The guy is detoxing from nicotine and still, that voice! cough and all. Just a pure artist.

[theadiashow]

rock on!

i just subscribed to your vids, so now i'm e-stalking YOU!

;)

[SvgGrdnBeauty]

thank you. :)

[deanokat]

Thanks, Katie! Great stuff!

[darvelgringo]

Thanks Katie. Poor Ryan. Someone must have taken it off the Cave very quickly as it wasn't there now or a few hours ago. If DRA beats smoking then most of his demons will be conquered...

[omgwtvetc]

oh god he looks and sounds so sick...

thank you so much for posting this video !

did ryan post it today ?! i didn't see it !
