#7 Ryan Adams - When The Stars Go Blue

[ff2paladin]

How did this guy get Mandy?

[CathyMeadMusic]

This song is amazing!!

[ronniemindermusic]

one of the most amazing songs ever created!

[mmaluke]

Thumbs up if you heard this song from one tree hill ( haley james scott)!

[ff2paladin]

@mmaluke Thumb up, but that was a very long time ago

[edwardsgirl8495]

:D my comment is a top comment i feel so cool! xD

[mojopin09]

i feel like i'm dying inside

[jluck202]

One word... Amazing!!!!!

[VioladorDeLaLey21]

7 people don't know what's like to be blue

[swampgrassmedia]

I know for a fact Tim Mcgraw has an entire rack system to make his voice in 'tune'. He couldn't sing his way out of a wet paper bag, or write a decent song. 

[TweedleDedeedee]

@swampgrassmedia don't you love how he tried to play it off like he wrote this song? fucking modern country limp dick fake cowboy prick

[philgarciaweir]

everyone knows that haley from one tree hill wrote this song... cmon guys...

[SuperNewSounds]

@philgarciaweir hahahaha

[ambull87]

@philgarciaweir No she did not! I did.....

[TheLifeofaWarrior]

You know, I gotta be the nay-sayer here. Ryan is not a good recording artist, and that's just it. Yeah, this version has way more emotion than Tim's, but this version is a quarter to and eighth step flat on just about the whole track. It's frustrating to not hear the guitar, it's frustrating with the somewhat archaic and extremely dry beat, and the faltering harmony. Obviously props to him on writing it, but it'd be way better live. ...Hopefully. This leaves a lot to be desired.

[PowerBoat1234]

zzzzzzzzzzzz boring 

[Twaits332]

its crazy how much better this is than the Tim McGraw version.

[toabns44]

I wish he'd have changed his first name. People ask me what music I like, and I say Ryan Adams, and they think Im talking about that bedwetting chump from the robin hood film. Im not on about Kevin Costener.

[310101420]

@toabns44 ryan is actually his middle name, first is david

[0neEye0pen]

@edwardsgirl8495 That's probably the most perfectly adorable thing ever <3

[RoyaMitchell]

Ryan Adams is an artist. Tim Mcgraw is someone who looks at an artist and goes wow I want what they have and tries to recreate it, but always falls short.

[TheTurtle1223]

Seriously? Maybe you're tone deaf...

[jordanjmdjmd74]

For the last fuckin time...this is the original

[moonwalkgrlz114]

@rclikes2go It was written by him.....

[rclikes2go]

I dont like his version as much as Tim. Hes a bit tone deaf. Nice voice though

[xguitarsongx]

@rclikes2go Tone deaf? You're kidding.

[Gtrain229109]

@rclikes2go do you know what 'tone deaf' means?

[MariposaGirl1981]

@rclikes2go give credit to the songwriter, maN! tIM'S COVER IS LIKE HAMBURGER, rYAn's original is like filet mignon!

[poophorsie]

Tim is foreplay.

Ryan Adams is sex.

[WaterPoloJames91]

This is a good version, The corrs and bono's was also good. Infact the song in general is a really good tune. Nothing beats the original though.

[mrrohanag]

@WaterPoloJames91 this is the original

[watermelonygoodness]

@WaterPoloJames91 This is the original. Ryan Adams wrote this song.

[mixtapesongsx]

@WaterPoloJames91 You do realize that this IS the original. So you're right. Nothing does beat the original.

[GuitarGod119]

@WaterPoloJames91 This is the original!

[PeaceLoveRach123]

New favorite song.

[glasscrobar]

Holy Shit...........I think I fell asleep trying to listen to this!

[mellowed2music]

@glasscrobar ahaha...

[1234musiclvr]

Genuine. Believable,  You can feel his soul.

[jluck202]

Puts a whole new spin on it!! Tim Mcgraws is great.. but i'm def. diggin this version!!

[TigerArmyNeverDies]

@jluck202 Puts a whole new spin on it? This is Ryan's song. Tim Mcgraw just covered it.

[jluck202]

@TigerArmyNeverDies No shit!! lol I wasn't aware of that!! Nicceee!! :)

[jeremybiggs]

Ryan Adams is purity.

[Mrstwilightsagalover]

I don't mind this one but I prefer Tim McGraw's version just because of the music in the background is louder and I like that.

[PeaceLoveRach123]

@Mrstwilightsagalover I guess it just depends on your prefernce, but I tend to lean towards heavy vocals and soft acoustic guitar in the back, not too much distraction from the lyrics. You can really feel it that way I think.

[Jooltville]

Fake, you can't be dancing that much

[mynameisawsome77]

6 people have never seen the stars go blue :) or have any good taste in music :P

[guitardds]

@knmsondre

Money. It's always money.

[96Z24]

@knmsondre Tim's version is good. Sorry. 

[JonathonRedley]

@knmsondre

Just goes to show that taste is relative; I prefer Tim's version to this one (Ryan's chorus, in particular, is cringe-inducing).

[popcorn200213]

I love this song and I actually love all the covers of it too, each person adds their own kind of flavor to the song and it really add dimensions and proves that it's an amazing song, not a cookie-cutter song sung by someone famous.

[Jennipie123]

Who's is this?

Tim McGraw or Ryan Adams?

[DaveIndieRed]

@Jennipie123

Ryan Adams...seriously, go borrow, steal or buy a copy of 'Gold'...it's just a brilliant album

[IslandGirl3303]

@Jennipie123

[popcorn200213]

@Jennipie123 Ryan Adams... 

[alexangellove]

I enjoy Ryan's music a LOT! ...But I still think the Corrs & Bono version sounds better. *shrug* That's just me.

[quaecky]

@alexangellove take that back or I will actually find you and rip out your soul

[alexangellove]

@quaecky You're welcome to try. I haven't had a nemesis in a very long time.

[edwardsgirl8495]

this song played when my boyfriend irst kissed me at the fair on the top of the faris wheel...perffecttt

[TweedleDedeedee]

@edwardsgirl8495 that is epic.....

[sputnikmeatloaf]

just love his voice! but i really like Bethany Joy's and Tyler Hilton's version too. even though they're both the same song but diff artists you just can't compare em'! Both are Fantastic!

[allanpallan22]

phat

[lizletsdisco]

way better than any cover ugh

[putaweonpo]

isn't this by haley off one tree hill?

[chkyeahyeah]

@putaweonpo Ryan Adams is the original.

[chkyeahyeah]

@putaweonpo Ryan Adams is the original.

[knoweyes]

beautiful!

[rianelacretia66]

So great. I understand why country fans like the other version...but come on. Give respect where it's due. This man is awesome. :]

[PrettyPink13]

so cute.

[sebtdu42]

la version OTH est quand meme plus classe !!! comme quoi les covers dépasse l'original !!!

[miekjaahh]

3 people don't know what real music is

[geronimos69008]

very very very goog

no bad

[geronimos69008]

trop bien=very very very good

[AdrianaNikole]

i covered this on my ukulele, if you'd like to check it out, then go for it, it's on mah channel. blaaahhh...btw i love R A, duh. :D

[mollierose111]

tim mcgraws is sooo better... :)

[13sparksfly]

This version, the original obviously, and Tim Mcgraw's version are my favorites. such a beautiful song!

[obo54321]

this song is the reason i am learning to play the guitar with my friend. absolutlely beauitful music, could listen to it all night :]

[karabee18]

its so quiet, i've listened to a lot of versions of the song, and i like tim mcgraws the most.

[stew7479]

his voice is terrible. sorry, just my opinion.

[showtimescott]

mcgraw is shit peroid

[showtimescott]

such a genius yet not realy recognised, prob got to do with peeps say hes a dick

[WBOwensV]

The upside down flag is displayed when the 'nation' is in a time of distress. Since this is a post-911 album, it makes sense.

[miekjaahh]

If I didn't have his music, I would have been dead by now.

Music saves my soul <3

[C17vl819]

where do you go when you're lonely...

where do you go when you're blue...

[peechyq]

i had commented on this a while ago about ryan's voice being weird in this song, but after hearing all the pop/rock/modern country covers of this, i think his voice sounds GREAT. you don't fuck with an original like this, you just don't!

[KurtMoss]

what a lovely boy! fuckface! you knew it when you started the matts rule!

[KBoltEntertainment]

What's with the up side down flag..... he disgraces the flag and the song

[RebeloutionTour]

@KBoltEntertainment this is way better than the tim mcgraw version though

[KBoltEntertainment]

@RebeloutionTour no way his voice is terrible

[RebeloutionTour]

@KBoltEntertainment mcgraws voice IS terrible, but the electric piano tone in the mcgraw version is pretty sweet. the originals are usually better than covers. except for twist and shout

[eDub5750]

@KBoltEntertainment he wrote the song... but to each his own.

[Archer785]

Trolls trolling I see...

[greg0658]

caught this song just a few weeks ago at a wed (lost exact days count) .. research shows this was-a release post sept11 song .. fanfan fan .. gotta upload that Nasdaq thankyou song for you all .. this sounds like 1 of those flowing chord progressions of days (years) past .. you know where an artist would hit a chord and then progress then progress then progess

[Chris41975]

maybe the statement is he or we are in distress and in need of help from time to time

[keviekev95]

Hes from Jacksonville North Carolina.. haha

[SoWrongItsAbbey182]

@keviekev95 ive been there

[katrina947]

2 gai

[SophieRhiann]

@katrina947 says the person who can't spell...

[katrina947]

@SophieRhiann ooops is gai really not spelled like that, I'm sorry I had no idea. If its not like that then my second guess is going to be "gae"

[SophieRhiann]

@katrina947 okay

[andydufresne87]

@katrina947 you are fucking stupid, you would write stoopid just to understand me...

[southpawtn]

Ryan Adams isn't Canadian. He's from Jax, FL.

LOL get a clue.

[SoWrongItsAbbey182]

@southpawtn North Carolina dummby

[PickJo]

"The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."

Is this dude emo/goth I guess? Anyone who wants to clarify the difference between emo and goth is also welcome to.

[shan68ok]

@PickJo I don't have an answer as to the flag, however, Ryan Adams is neither Emo or Goth. He just writes songs about actual emotions whether they be good or bad. My Goth friends laugh at the Emo guys but I'm not sure why.

[richieinca]

@PickJo One, Ryan Adams is Canadian. Two, he's probably making a political statement. and three, only American arrogance would claim that the flag should "never" be displayed a certain way. It's called freedom of speech. Get over yourself.

[PickJo]

@richieinca Why is there so much unwarranted hate on youtube? Arrogance is arrogance --- you can find it in Canada too, believe it or not. It's migratory.

I was merely quoting from a website (hence the quotes) which discusses Flag Code. Now by all means, if you don't want to, don't follow Flag Code - burn the flag in protest, sure. You think I don't know the US Constitution's first amendment?

I was merely curious why the flag was upside down. What specific statement was Ryan Adams making?

[eDub5750]

@richieinca canadian huh?

[PickJo]

Why is the flag upside down?

[Niamhdm7871]

@PickJo I wonder too? Interesting...........

[s10wcheetah]

@athousandthrills what the FUCK

[chickadee248]

i like this one, it's really soft, could take a nap.

[somesoupgirl]

dos he say wooden shoe or wedding shoes? me and my mom have been wondering that :P

[jeffreyarbeau]

@somesoupgirl Wooden, I presume.

[TomKennyIsLovely]

Very pretty song. Love Ryan's voice.

[peechyq]

i don't like his voice in this one, it's like he tried to change his voice to sound more country and he ends up sounding froggy. his high notes are good though and the song is wonderful.

[humbertsin1994]

i prefer the venke knutson/kurt nilsen version

[mizzklm]

first heard this on one tree hill with bethany joy galeotti and tyler hilton and i decided to listen to this one - can't pick a favourite because they are both so different and this is so creative, love them both <3

[chaserjamess]

@mizzklm  I can't believe you would actually compare that drivel to someone as influential and talented as Ryan Adams.

[mizzklm]

@chaserjamess you can't deny that Bethany Joy Galeotti is talented and both versions of the song have a different take on it. They have merely done a cover of Ryan Adams's song and they are the reason that I know of it, so of course I am going to compare them. Therefore I am sorry if I have offended you but I will not stop stating my opinion as you have done to me.

[brina332]

this song is terrible.... tim mcgraw=better

[bardisgreat]

first off the coors version is nonsense compared to this, how can you compare this song to anything, its like remaking smells like teen spirit come on

[Weirdlittleboys]

@athousandthrills Epic comment. :)

[onemanarmy1124]

this is the best version of the song hands down. ryan adams is one of the most creative artists out there but this version simplifies his style to where its created such a unique sound. dudes got mad skill ryan adams ftw

[dylanthetiger]

Jesus Christ who's funeral is he singing at ?? The Corrs/Bono version blows this away !! (Thanks for writing it though Ryan, I'll give you credit for that, fantastic song. )

[SARAH18348]

really good but i like the tyler hilton/bethany joy galeotti version better

[syncopath0425]

what a voice... is he shiting when he recorded this?

[Mslegallyblonde09]

amazing song amazing song!!!!!!! love this love this!!!!!!!! i love ryan adams haha

[aysleek]

U2 and the Corrs are better.

But Ilike you Ryan...

[shan68ok]

@aysleek Really? I've listened to their version, Tim McGraw's version, and Joe Blow's version. Nobody gives it the heart that Ryan does. And I've been a Corrs fan for a lot longer than I've been a fan of Ryan's.

[Sammich17]

@shan68ok he sounds weak in this, and like he's about to die. tim mcgraw does it better.

[shan68ok]

@Sammich17 That's the cool thing about people.  We all have our different tastes. I think he actually sounds sad, lonely, and despondent which ultimately the song is about.

[Sammich17]

@shan68ok you're probably a nig.

[shan68ok]

@Sammich17 *spits coffee on the screen in laughter* Yeah...I'm so white I don't even tan well, I freckle. I'm offended on behalf of my friends who are black though, as you think that's the ultimate insult apparently. Please, do reply back to this as I am amused by your childish replies. I won't however waste my time responding after this.

[richieinca]

@Sammich17 - Why wasn't this comment flagged as abusive?

[SecondTeacup]

Beautiful, just beautiful.

[lilmaggiestarx]

this is the best song ever i love it its my favorite i sing it all the time it makes me fell soo happy thanks ryan from ireland :D x
