Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Taught Myself How to Grow Old

[GlitterGlue07]

There are alot of songs that make me cry because of their beauty but there's something about the way RA writes that has the ability to make me cry and take all of my pain away at the same time. You can quite easily hear a song but to make you really listen, it has to be pure genious and that's exactly what his songs are in my opinion. Best artist in the world.

Nobody does it like Ryan. I always think I can't love him any more, and then something like this comes along.

loved it but how come none of the live versions have the harmonica part. Thats the spine tingling bit of the song. Its like cranking it to eleven.

wow...this is the best version i have heard of this song...amazing

[davemja]

oh my...i thought i had found the perfect rendition of this live...until this. Pure magic. One of the finest pieces of pure songwriting of the last thirty years. A fucking classic.

Thanks for posting this. I was a big Neil Young fan till he ran out of inspiration. Then I discovered Ryan Adams and I realised he was now undisputably the most talented singer/songwriter around!

perfect, or at least very close...

Aaaaaahhhhh! Thank you. Thank you, UFOPilot, for posting it; Thank you, Ryan, for writing it; Thank you Cardinals, for playing it.

If you listen very well your heart will crack open and some of your pain will flow away.
