Ryan Adams - La Cienega Just Smiled

[crazytempest]

BEAUTIFUL SONG !!! In every way , vibe,melody,guitar hook ,lyrics ,beat .. AMAZING !!

[buckyberger]

if not the greatest song ever written !

[lacienega999]

3 people are complete and utter killjoys,, how could dislike a song as heartfelt as this,, i bet you could never write anything near to what this song is

[thebadsimsclub]

thumbs up if you were searching for the girl from the proud family and came here

[ThePennylane0981]

ummmmmmmm he messed up the lyrics.

[kjterasawa]

fucking amazing. ryan adams rocks.

[steblue]

Amazing song from an amazing artist.

[Philyfreeze]

One of his best songs ! Love the rythem...fantastic version

[eimead]

i love the way most artists make a song and every now and again strip it down to an acoustic version and ryan tips it on his head, making an acoustic song and then working a live band version around it, and making it sound great... the suicide handbook is undoubtedly one of the finest albums ever made, also, check out the live version of touch, feel, loose from pasadina, it's pretty incredible, although, with ryan adams, most things are.

[eimead]

@eimead also, when i say pasadina, i mean paradiso 2001.

[bertbretherton]

A top, top performance. Ryan is always in the music. Puts all the posers to shame.

[menandmice]

Om my God. This is just brilliant.

[gthang517]

this song gives me chills all over, it's nothing less than amazing

[chickensun88]

[menandmice]

His best song. By far.

[ajjtunez]

[Epsilon0703]

[Epsilon0703]

[xcellencepaintball]

[54spiritedwill54]

[Beanoismycat]

La Cienega is a Street here in LA and the spanish word for Bog or swamp

[fercherie]

what is cienega?

[SeeSeeFa]

omg! ryan adams is coming to new zealand! i cant wait till the 3rd of feb! i hope he plays this song there!

[KristenSanz]

So damn good! Now I remember why I used to love him. I saw him live with the Cardinals and it was very different than this. He was high and belligerent, not a bad thing, but different!

[NaleyandLeyton]

Noel and Felicity's song <3

[viperhalberd]

aww I love Noel and Felicity, but when was this played in the show? I can't remember... :(

[feli402]

i loved them too. i think its season 4, episode 1-the end of the episode. felicity sleeps with noel after spending the whole summer with him. but she was dating ben.complicated.

[bnftzptrck]

i heart this song

[BigRyMc]

why am I a fucking idiot?  please expound

[egomaster]

BigRyMc your a fucking idiot

[smilez7985]

agreed......

[flomeddeglattesko]

And I hold you close in the back of my mind

And raise my glass 'cause either way I'm dead

Neither of you really help me to sleep anymore

One breaks my body and the other breaks my soul

La Cienega just smiles as it waves goodbye

such amazing lyrics

[aubreyholman]

agreed.....

[BigRyMc]

"How'd I end up feelin' so bad, for such a little girl..."

Really strong lyric - I dated a 5'1 chick for 3 years, and listened to this song about 250 times after we split up... hits hard.

[aubreyholman]

Just Ignore the egomaster dude... he's what I like to call a shit-stirrer... Notice he doesn't even have a profile.

[jkilcull]

Check out Slight of Your Hand original by... abeathofcologne

watch?v=bSkAwUChAmE

[menandmice]

Fabulous. Evocative. Eloquent. Ryan is the man!!!!!!!! A great song.

[jxwhee]

[stevenbb007]

[Vacher12]

[fancymurphy]

one of his best-god, he's sexy here, isn't he?

[LydiaEpiphany]

Thanx for sharing!

Fantastic version of this great song, wow!

Thanx again.

[therealdiego2]

i cry everytime i hear this song. i don't know why. it's just so sad.

[wovokanarchy]

@therealdiego2 You're gay that's why.

[sexibeastforlife]

This is def the best version. I love the back up guitar just finger picking it straight through and Ryan just works it. You don't hear Ryan's style of guitar playing very often and it freakin rocks

[greengirl0078]

so true

[666vampireah999]

Amazing song!

[mimimiaou]

[greengirl0078]

i absolutely love this song. it melts me

[lloyderz]

great song!

[enpaaliteligpanda]

Directly translated cienega means swamp, but yeah, he's talking about La Cienega Boulevard.

[09cjv]

la cienega is an important boulevard in hollwood. he refers a lot to streets in his albums- his bootleg exile on franklin st has a song called "california" which names la cienega, vine, and rodeo dr. anyways, yeah, la cienega = street.

[Bwas5]

does anyone know what la cienega means?

[rattleU2]

Fucking god!

[rattleU2]

Fucking god!

[TheNewHumanist]
