If cant find me, I am looking for you on market street. Sleeping in a crappy hotel in North Beach. Playing my music in golden gate park while i look for you in the fog. Maybe youll see me on Baker Beach but anywhere i go i the way you move follows me. Maybe she remembers the twilight by the bridge or the dawn in San Francisco, it was love and sublime, while we smoked a joint and Ryan's song filled the time.
I really cant see all these comparisons to dylan!, ryan doesnt sound remotely like dylan if you want a real clone, check out the felice brothers! why the hell does everyone rate dylan as the bench mark, he is a good song writer no doubt but lets face it he isnt a great singer.... ryan is by no means the best either, but he is much much better at conveying emotion is his voice than dillon in my opinion! When adams is at his best he is untouchable!
All in all it was a good run, and seeing as he was so prolific he should have taken all his thousands of songs and picked out 15 -15 awesome tunes and put them on a CD. Then he would have banked and you could say he was Jesus with a better voice if ya wanted to! ;)
@amritaherbs You dont know what you are talking about...thats the good thing about RA he can write/play any style. And it dosent seem like you are a RA fan because you would know all his songs and CDs were amazing. Why would only want one cd with 15 songs from him. Every song on his CDs i can listen to over and over again. You are a joke why did you even waste your time posting all that...
@N8theGr8888 Nay little poser, I was there from Whiskeytown till now. Not ALL of his songs are amazing. That's been his biggest hang up. To regular peeps it's cool that he plays in different styles but to musicians and real scholars of music we know that recreating or imitating music is nothing new. It happens everyday with 3 chord pop songs, or sloppy punk songs, or a folk singer blowin into a harmonica. That's what seperates real legends form everyone else. You have to do something NEW
I was also saying that Cold Roses was the closest he came to really having a unique sound (all around not just his voice) and with the amount of songs he has on backup he could have easily made 3 or 4 CD's with his top gems and been a legend. Instead he was putting up punk and country (even rap) shit on his website. Like 5 demos worth of BS lol It's cool to have fun but don't piss and moan about "failing" as an artist when you have no one to blame but yourself Ryan. ;)
All I'm saying is that claims such as these caused critics to bash him to death because although Ryan was great and had tons of potential instead of trying to make his own mark he kind of rehashed classic styles. Hence the Westerberg, Morrison, Dylan comparissons.
Unfortunately the critics were right and sadder still Cold Roses I think was a little glimpse of Ryan finally coming into his own but as usual it never went anywhere.
hate to burst everyone's bubble but coming from a musician and long term Rye Rye fan. He's NOT the Dylan of our age, half the country STILL doesn't know who he is. Ryan wrote more about relationships than social change like Dylan. If you think he's like Dylan cuz he wrote about how he got shot down by Beth Orton (English Girls Approximately) then you're a tool. He is also NOT Gram parsons reincarnated. Gram wrote the book on alt country, Ryan Had 30 years to rehash it.
Hey Sweet Face, I bought myself 'reading glasses' today for the first time so I came home and played this song. Every day I teach myself how to grow old. See you in the 'Love Sub'
couldnt think of a better artist to get drunk to, after almost a year of sobriety...thanks for writing these songs sir, no one seems to express this despair so perfectly.
But I will Always love Ryan. He touches that sadness that we all need to feel, but are afraid to feel too often. Can't wait 'till he gets back out there and starts playing again!
Ryan Adams' songs are so beautiful, but they alway leave you feeling empty. I guess that's what's supposed to happen, but I don't re-listen to them that much because of that. Kind of empty songs, singing in the wind, no growth of understanding or wisdom, just pain falling into a vacuum. Very dark with no light. Just darkness, depression, and sadness. I guess that's one way to go.
The Cardinals, one of the best bands and one of the most underated! It takes great players to pull off the less is more thing live as they always do. A great version of this song!
Fucking genius song. I'm 13, and I wish I learned about Ryan Adams earlier, when he was on tour. I want to see him live so badly! Someone message me when he's in Philly please lol.
Unfortunately he's on hiatus from touring his own material (from what I've gathered anyway) I've heard that he might be touring with his wife performing her songs with her.
Let's just hope he misses touring and performing his own songs soon and makes a return
i wish he could keep it going,but hes having a break.was never really fully appraicated i think,dint sell that well,played smallish gigs,crowd was never great for him at the shows i saw,great songwriter.
Oh my gosh, I cant even begin to say how good he is. & that was live! He is amazing! I've only started listening to him today and already I have totally fallen in love with his voice! He is the best singer I have heard for ages. His voice is just so soft and full of emotion that it makes you stop and listen to every word he says. Justin Nozuka has that quality when singing save him. That is a real talent when you can see how good he is by the silence in the room as people listen to him. Ace! x x
I don't care how well he can sing - Lou Gram and Dennis DeYoung have great voices but I'd never listen to their music. I just find that Adams' stuff sounds really forced and cliched. I mean,it's all just a matter of taste,but in my opinion, Jeff Tweedy can write circles around this guy.
I just started listening to Ryan Adams but been listening to wilco for a while (NEW ALBUM COMING SOON!) . I understand what you are saying as far as songwriting goes. I have a lot to say about this but before I say anything I'm going to get my facts straight and give Ryan Adams a good listen. to be continued...
The thing is, Wilco are on a completely different approach. I don't know why you would even compare the two. I don't think Wilco really have a genre. Ryan would definitely be more singer/songwriter in his approach, but Wilco are far too experimental to be compared to Ryan with any degree of relevancy to the argument.
I saw him in concert and not once did he play his #1 hit song Summer of 69. I mean WTF? I can understand he`s probably sick of playing it, but not everyone has heard it live and his fans do pay his salary so why not play it? Also "Cuts like a knife" would have been cool too.
Catchy Title,Taught Myself How To Grow Old ...If some only new the meaning,as I perceive it....Openned My eyes when no one was listening. Great Great musician
I see him tomorrow for the first time and if this is what I have to look forward to then I'm gonna have an amazing night. Simply beautiful, so talented.
The problem is that he is around at a time whem marketability is more important then talent in music. I Young and Dylan were to appear today they would hardly be known. People don't give a fuck about talent anymore. 30 years ago Brittany spears would have been nothing more than an act in a Vegas.
its a shame because this is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. it is extremely personal and it makes you want to listen to it 5,000x over and find something new in it and relate it to your life each time
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well it's because all this has been done before. It's really nothing special I mean so far most of his songs sound the same. Don't blame people for having bad tastes, they just listen to what's audibly pleasing, and that's what music is all about. Simply put, in my opinion, this music is just...boring.
Love him or hate him, he's an EXTREMELY prolific songwriter, with songs that would fall under many genres. The vast majority of his songs do not sound anything alike.
Well, you should listen all the way through all of his albums. Heartbreaker is a 60s Bob Dylan thing, Gold is supposed to resemble a 70s album, Demolition has a ton of ear pleasing rock pop songs, llor 'n kcor is a rock tribute, Love Is Hell, is mopey rock album. I can go on and on. Some songs sound similar, but Adams makes up for it and more with his lyrics.
he is famous lol, he is massive in parts of the world. He just isn't a Neil Young or Bob Dylan big.
But its better, much rather him be an almost underground artist that no one really knows, makes it more intimate when you listen to it. If you listen to say coldplay for instance, you know they are writing that for millions of people to listen to, ryan is writing his songs for his small fan base to listen to, makes is much more personal.
Enuf said - saw u in manchester academy live - was loads good!! Tho the venue was questionable lol. Nvr forgot somethings I heard: halloweenhead first time this night - never forgot. As for this song - one of many - diamond!!
There is something so increditbly beautiful about Ryan Adams and his music..to me anyway. Everyone is entitled to their oppinion, but to me their is no better male vocalist.
whatever he is trying to capture here ... modern abject loneliness? i think someone said.... it's captured perfectly. it's absolutely perfect. it gets better every time i hear it. it amazes me that someone can be this good. at anything!
I may be slightly biased as i always say because he is after all my favourite artist but there's a reason for that, right. His lyrics are so amazing and his songs make me feel completely happy and at ease while, on occasion, still making me want to cry. I think it's safe to say that this man is a genius.
This man has such an intense level of perfection in his lyrics and music, he is such an inspiration on just saying what you feel no matter how painful - thank god there is someone with so much honesty in life and music!
Next to Neil Young, nobody else can write songs from the heart like Ryan Adams ....

R. Adams can create startlingly poetic imagery (as seen on '29'), but here it's notable that he chooses to be blunt - without any attempt to romanticize the subject's predicament. Indeed, the reference to the rose/rain/wind is clearly very knowing, and he quickly dispenses with such tired cliches and gets to the boring reality: loneliness, alienation and a sadness close to boredom.
That takes real control as a gifted lyricist - not to be so in love with rhapsody as to elevate base suffering.

Well it's because all this has been done before. It's really nothing special I mean so far most of his songs sound the same. Don't blame people for having bad tastes, they just listen to what's audibly pleasing, and that's what music is all about. Simply put, in my opinion, this music is just...boring.

Love him or hate him, he's an EXTREMELY prolific songwriter, with songs that would fall under many genres. The vast majority of his songs do not sound anything alike.

Maybe my judgments were premature I'll do more exploring but from the live show I've seen nothing really seemed all that "adventurous"
danriggs80 3 years ago
Well, you should listen all the way through all of his albums. Heartbreaker is a 60s Bob Dylan thing, Gold is supposed to resemble a 70s album, Demolition has a ton of ear pleasing rock pop songs, llor 'n kcor is a rock tribute, Love Is Hell, is mopey rock album. I can go on and on. Some songs sound similar, but Adams makes up for it and more with his lyrics.

my god
i don t believe that i have known only now.i don t unterstand why he isn t famous .he is pure genuis.god bless you ryan.love you

he is famous lol, he is massive in parts of the world. He just isn't a Neil Young or Bob Dylan big.
But its better, much rather him be an almost underground artist that no one really knows, makes it more intimate when you listen to it. If you listen to say coldplay for instance, you know they are writing that for millions of people to listen to, ryan is writing his songs for his small fan base to listen to, makes is much more personal.

Do they have any live versions of this song with the harmonica, like how it is on the recording on Easy Tiger?

The song is muuuch better without the harmonica.

I am going to disagree and say you are completely false and I would hope you would realize that as well.

I agree with all of you here, that voice just touches my heart in a way no other voice can. Hey I've got Ryan Adams right inside me! (if only...)

There is something so increditbly beautiful about Ryan Adams and his music..to me anyway. Everyone is entitled to their oppinion, but to me their is no better male vocalist.

whatever he is trying to capture here ... modern abject loneliness? i think someone said.... it's captured perfectly. it's absolutely perfect. it gets better every time i hear it. it amazes me that someone can be this good. at anything!
RAjunkie 3 years ago 3
I agree!
I may be slightly biased as i always say because he is after all my favourite artist but there's a reason for that, right. His lyrics are so amazing and his songs make me feel completely happy and at ease while, on occasion, still making me want to cry. I think it's safe to say that this man is a genius.

This man has such an intense level of perfection in his lyrics and music, he is such an inspiration on just saying what you feel no matter how painful - thank god there is someone with so much honesty in life and music!
