Whatever, and I could care even less about the accusations, they’re tactical distraction from this song being not something Ryan wrote..I wrote this and 97% of everything he’s released or not released

Letterman must be super proud that he's hosted some of Ryan's best live shows. You could probably hear a pin drop in the studio.

"I ain't never been to Vegas but I've gambled up my life. Buildin' newsprint boats, I raced in sewer mains. I was tryna find me somethin', but I wasn't sure just what. Funny how they say that some things never change." The level of poetic mastery there is fucking unreal, especially in the broader context of the song. Fucking mindblowing. Nobel in literature time.

Incredible response from crowd! 100% deserved.

jeffphillipsacoustic, you said it. It's the emotions he invokes with the purity of voice and amazing lyrics. RA is a gem of a musician that needs to be savored. He's one of the singer-songwriter greats that deserves to be in the same league as Bob Dylan, Paul Simon et al

Just the Best ever ! So happy I saw him in Cleveland many years ago ! Needs to be in the Rock Hall !

It doesn’t get better than this

I recently saw Ryan play solo in Denver and it was one of the best concert experiences of my life! And I have seen hundreds of shows over the last twenty years. He has an amazing gift and it's great to see him happy and healthy. He is also very funny and could make it as a comedian if you wanted to.

Tears in my eyes, So beautiful, Thank you Ryan for this song

amazing......this guy is in the zone always when on stage.

This guy is such an incredible artist. This music continues to touch my soul every time. What a wonderful gift.

He sings like an angel here on earth ,one of Gods precious gifts of love to us.

Never tire of this. Sublime.

One of my favourite Ryan Adams songs and one of the best drifter songs ever.

Like him or despise him Ryan Adams shits talent...

I came here because he's been in the news and had never heard him. A fierce talent and I'll listen to more. Also, I had a guitar once that looked just like his. A Grammer Ace that was made in Nashville.

You raise a good valid point Glen Harris. Is this guy a genius. He'd say "NO", if somebody mentions the word to him...but here's the thing, i'd say a big fat POSSIBLY..and that he is in that area but in order to hand out an opinion i need to qualify why i'm saying POSSIBLY . A while back, a few years back, an Aussie decided to get to the very root of what GENIUS means, ACTUALLY MEANS, as it seems to be a term these day banded around and out to anybody with some talent. The Aussie interviewed many, many folk, thought of/regarded as genius and one main thing floated to the top of his question lists...one word. OBSESSION or practice in a single area(10,000 hours of it..he states). If my memory serves me correctly he actually referenced Chinese pianists who start out at two or three on a piano and by the age of 14 they are blowing folk's minds on a stage somewhere in the world...and being labelled as ...GENIUS. It seems to come down also to DEDICATION, to that one thing. In Ryan's case, he seems to have an ability to knock up and out song after song, after song. An opinion at this point. I think Brandon Flowers is the same. When THE KILLERS took a break recently and Brandon was interviewed about why he carried on solo he said the same thing at every interview. He needed somewhere for his creation to go. IT SEEMS VERY MUCH ABOUT BEING AND STAYING RECEPTIVE AND OPEN. It seems very likely that it's also more about something that Ryan stated in his interviews. Neil Young has quoted the same....as have many more who write to excess and that is this. When a writer/artist opens themselves up for ideas to manifest through them..it's damned hard to stop those ideas coming through. Some will understand what i'm droning on about here..many won't get it. So, how can i prove my point?...very easy. For the last eleven years i've lived with everything i've mentioned above(except RYAN). Let's refer to it as extreme writing. For years most folk i knew would have a conversation with me and afterwards they'd come out with something like "YOU DON'T HALF TALK A LOT" or "DO YOU EVER SHUT UP" or "ARE YOU MANIC?" and a 1001 other questions..but eventually i realised they all led to the same place. Becoming a writer/lyricist was the perfect channel. SO I DID...and have never looked back. Recently i even heard that word genius banded around about myself(yehright!!). I LAUGHED OUT LOUD and for good reason. It's NOT genius in how most people view genius..but it's more about cold hard dedication and practice, practice, practice.....then more dedication..and way more practice. I, like Ryan, have written thousands of lyrics, in my case..and whole songs..every lyric on every song on SONIC FOXX MUSIC(Think PRACTICE again here) Here's a final thought though. I don't play guitar, i don't write music, i barely sing(for demos every now and then..if somebody doesn't turn up) and i've never been in a band...and i used to push a mop around floors for a living. So, how, pray tell me, have i managed to collaborate and co-write a song called THE CHILD by URBAN SEASCAPE which just had the following review from a former top critic who seems intent on hedging his bets??(for full review go to youtube and tap in THE CHILD by URBAN SEASCAPE). THE CHILD by URBAN SEASCAPE(Critique by John LaStrada) " "....the child that once, was me"...COMPELLING. This is a winner. I wish you luck with this. Far, far better than the fluff offered by radio and commercial music hawkers. CHALK THIS ONE UP TO THE WIN COLUMN SONIC FOXX UK" Maybe John LaStrada knows or senses something...the song is flying at the early stage. Enjoy, SONIC FOXX, SONIC FOXX MUSIC......."because lyrics matter"

Ryan will go down as one of the greats, if not the greatest to those who actually enjoy music and artistry. He is getting better if thats possible and his live performances bring out the best in his amazing songs, especially recently. 20 more years please Mr Adams.

So beautiful

Real good country music. (real)

Fabulous song & Ryan really reaches the soul

Well I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone I passed up the station for the bus Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what I ended up with pockets full of dust So I went on to Cleveland and ended up insane Bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance I was spending money like the way it likes to rain And I ended up with pockets full of 'caine Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life Building news print boats I raced in sewer mains I was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what Funny how they say that some things never change Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home Up here in the city it feels like things are closing in The sunset's just my light bulb burning out I miss Kentucky and I miss my family All the sweetest winds they blow across the south Oh my sweet Carolina What compels me to go? Oh my sweet disposition May you one day carry me home May you one day carry me home

Absolutely Amazing! Thanks so very much! 🧡 Much Love!

Your music goes straight to my heart.

Its been decades since I have been moved like I am by this song and this man and his guitar. Neil Young and Dylan back in the 70's were the artists who came close.

dude this shit is epic

Truly amazing..

Fantastic song. Timeless. Was lucky enough to catch him in concert in Tokyo in November 2016 during his first ever tour of Japan. My mother had suddenly passed away two months previous to that concert and this certainly put a few bandaids on my soul..................He is like a modern-day Dylan in some ways. Fantastic songwriter, better singer than Dylan (I know I will get tomato-ed by Dylan fans for saying that but it's true), better guitarist too. However, nobody can beat Dylan in terms of the quality of his lyrics, or I should say, to be more accurate, the quality of his POETRY. As Dylan really is a poet, not just a singer and musician. Ryan Adams gives me hope that there still are some good songwriters around. In fact, I'm sure there are plenty of them around - the problem is the mediocre pop market drowns out all the good music with its crappy noise. The line where Ryan sings "I was spending money like the way it likes to rain" reminds me of the line "she spends my money like water falls" from a Townes Van Zandt song.

beautiful sound

A genius of the human soul.

He reminds me a lot of Neil Young. Wonderful.

Or maybe he's seething with pain again and wants to relive it. When I saw him (just before this performance) he played this on piano and dedicated it to his Grandma, who had just passed away. It was beautiful but he seemed real down in the dumps about it.
