I’m a huge Ryan Adams fan. I will always say that his music became a soundtrack for some of the happiest days of my life. He’ll be on tour soon. In April, he has a show in Paris. I cannot even stand the thought. That would be a dream come true. While I wish that I had the cash to make a trip like that, it doesn’t look possible. But it sure is a fun thing to imagine.
His writing is some of my favorite. My random musical taste is all over the place. Some of it I love without any deep tie or love of the lyrics. That is not the case with Adams. I love how he writes. As a writer of fiction, his music inspires me and there isn’t a week that goes by without hearing his music somewhere in my week.
“The way back home’s through the wild and the winds
The way back home’s in your arms
All my life I’ve been searching for someone and
I could never get it right
I could never get it right
I’ve never seen so much light
How much light ’til the ocean tips over and it
Crashes on the beach like its blacker than it’s bluer
Underneath the sun in a cloudless sky
How much light
How much sound ’til my name starts breaking
My hearts all done and it’s yours for the taking
All my life I’ve never seen so much light”
Songwriter: Ryan Adams
