You can play the songs with a simple acoustic treatment, and they're absolutely beautiful, but they're overdone to the point where most of the true emotion is lost, and EMOTION IS WHAT DRIVES TAYLOR'S MUSIC.
Omg I thought of The Breakfast Club too!! he took a song that didn't really have the 80s vibe imo and gave it what it was missing. I feel like he did that to a lot of the songs on her album. it's awesome.
@@alastairbrewster4274 she did write the songs. She writes most of her lyrics most of the writers she works with usually modify the lyrics to either make the songs shorter/Longer/ or to just delete filler on the occasion that they do write lyrics it’s usually 2-7 lines Max. And Ryan’s version is meh he takes away all the fun out of the originals and makes them these average indie shit trying to capture and 80s sound that doesn’t fit his voice. The production overpowers his voice and tbh his versions make the songs so underwhelming and too ambitious especially considering Ryan’s voice isn’t anything special it’s just the average indie boy in high school who thought they could have a career despite millions sounding exactly like him. His versions have no charm, fun basically takes out everything that makes the originals good and makes them mid not bad not incredible just average
@@alastairbrewster4274 oh, she writes all her songs, entire “Speak now “ and rest usually alone. So don’t disrespect her. Ryan’s work is beautiful btw.
This is probably my least favorite Taylor’s track 5 which has a reputation of being sad songs with amazing lyrics. The overkill production of the original sounds off and Ryan does a much better job. I still love the og it’s just not one of my favorite songs on the og 1989.
when i saw this album i was sceptical. i thought 'why would you?' then i listened to it. this is genius, gosh i love it. i grew up in the 80s and thought it had a very 80s vibe. best era for music. thrilled i found this album!
People are comenting 'this is my favorite song from 1989 and i like it even more now!' And here I am thinking this song and I Wish You Would are my least favorites from 1989 and now they're my favorites...
+KRISTINA BARRIOS Except that this isn't the Cure and this isn't 1984. It's 2015 and Ryan Adams covered a Taylor Swift album. This, Kristina Barrios, is a very dumb thing you are witnessing before your very eyes.
Because, Scott...it's ass-kissing at its finest. People want to hear original songs. Sure, covering another artist's work is not a crime. What IS a crime is ass-kissing. The album is a waste of time. He is a talented musician who invested too much time doing someone else's music. Neither of them need the help of eachother unless they are looking to hook up. Uh-oh! Maybe?
Yeah, yeah, I'm digging this... Road trippin', summer vacationing, John Hughes montage-ing, singing along out loud in Cameron's dads Vette... awesome cover - go Ryan go!
Brian Fallon is what wld happen if Springsteen and Ryan Adams cld make a baby! He’s the best songwriter since Springsteen and brings emotion to the song like Ryan Adams I’ve been a ryan Adams fan since I bought the first whiskeytown album when it came out! The big 3 Springsteen Ryan Adams and Brian fallon
How the hell does this have 300+ dislikes. Unbelievable Ryan could throw together a cover of the biggest pop stars biggest album and make it so good and so Ryan Adams
It's funny because it's all related to the music. so many people are here saying this is so much better than the original,same people who hate on taylor swift. but she did wrote this. Ryan was amazing in re-arranging the music,but the words,he didn't change them. It's so funny how you so many people hate on taylor just for the pop/catchy songs without even try to read her songs. judging a book by its cover much?
What a song! It reminds me when I first met my husband, still in love after so many years. Who would have thought, I would be so much in love with him until now.
I would like to thank 91.1 The globe for playing this. Really a great tune, swift at her best writing and a REAL musician to play it. Great collaboration!!!!!!!!!Best song ever, period.
People like you always want back the love they gave away And people like me wanna believe you when you say you've changed The more I think about it now the less I know All I know is that you drove us off the road Hey, all you had to do was stay Had me in the palm of your hand Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in Hey, now you say you want it Back now that it's just too late Well, it could've been easy All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made People like you always want back the love they pushed aside But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye Stay, hey, all you had to do was stay Had me in the palm of your hand Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in Stay, hey, now you say you want it Back now that it's just too late Well could've been easy All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay (Stay, stay, stay) Let me remind you this was what you wanted (Oh oh oh) You ended it You were all I wanted (Oh oh oh) But not like this Not like this Not like this Oh, all you had to do was stay Hey, all you had to do was stay Had me in the palm of your hand Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in Stay, hey, now you say you want it Back now that it's just too late Well could've been easy All you had to do was stay Hey, all you had to do was stay Had me in the palm of your hand Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in Stay, hey, now you say you want it Back now that it's just too late Well could've been easy (All you had to do was stay) All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay (Oh) All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay All you had to do was stay (Ooh) Songwriters: Taylor Swift
God this is so good. Taylor’s version just always fell flat for me. THIS.. is an amazing spin on it. All the credit goes to Taylor for writing this song, and it’s beautiful. But Ryan brought this to life and I was able to really feel the song, like really feel it
for any of the negative nancy's out there RA sang his heart out on this cover album venture. this song is a perfect example of him showing off his pipes and my fav of these songs...I can't stop blaring it in my car....I think people are starting to look at me like i'm a weirdo
I have been following the Brilliant Ryan Adams since the early Whiskytown days. How cool to co-opt Swift's embracing of Pop Producer driven drivel and RA comes along and make a hell of a better record in his tiny home studio and two ears.
+1stSaintsFan "A hell of a better album" Too bad it is only on the internet and can't sell over a million copies in one week like her absolutely magnificent album did huh?
***** I know what went down you little shit head. I follow Ryan Adams and we have seen the process of Ryan in his studio making completely different sounding songs than was on Taylor's 1989 record. You obviously like to call people names or you would have gotten my meaning in my post. DUH!!! You obviously don't know much about music or Ryan Adams. Taylor Swift's lyrics are very poppy and not much else. It took a true artists to take her songs and make something salvageable. I admire Taylor Swift for being a great songwriter for her age, but she is way out of her league when it comes to Ryan. Ryan made her record into a statement of Pop Schlock or turned up masterpiece my little Nipper I know more about the music business than you little Swifties put together so keep the FuckTard stuff to somebody who deserves it Reboota.
+1stSaintsFan u Are dumb! Taylor's version is much better! this is Boring a little bit and Taylor wrote album and sold It over 1.3M COPIES IN THE FIRST WEEK and over 9M worldwide. It was the best selling album of 2014 and 2015 with the biggest first week sales since 2002
Swiftie4ever U Are Right!!! Taylor Swift can still sell records/CDs/Down Loads/ Etc...She is the master..She knows what little shits like you would buy. Enjoy it because after Calvin Harris gets through with her, there will be no musicians left on her tracks and you can bob your little brainy head against some scummy dance floor while you drool to the new TSwift EDM Masterpiece.
I just recently stumbled across this Ryan Adam's cover and my god it's so beautiful, can't believe even though the lyrics is exactly same it sounds like a different song with a little bit of tweaking there and here, I love it very much!!!!
*Watching the interview with Adams & Swift...you just know Taylor plays this cover over and over driving down the Pac 1 highway, singing along out loud...
It's almost unreal how good this is
I obviously need to have my ears checked.
It's real❤
Almost like how bad the original was compare to this when I went to check it 😂
Ryan is just that good ❤
1. T SWIFT IS A GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2.THANK U, RYAN, FOR SEEING IT!
3. FIRE THE SWEDES!
+Sargoss Golek The SWEDES CAN'T BE FIRED SOON ENOUGH!!!
The Goominator
so overproduced, pity...
You can play the songs with a simple acoustic treatment, and they're absolutely beautiful, but they're overdone to the point where most of the true emotion is lost, and EMOTION IS WHAT DRIVES TAYLOR'S MUSIC.
+The Goominator I'm glad you put that last bit in capitals. I wouldn't have realised how intense that information is otherwise!
Daryl Parkin
u r very welcome.
I love the entire cover album. Totally feel Springsteen & The Breakfast Club vibes. You captured Taylor, and added your soul into the mix. Beautiful
Omg I thought of The Breakfast Club too!! he took a song that didn't really have the 80s vibe imo and gave it what it was missing. I feel like he did that to a lot of the songs on her album. it's awesome.
Sarah Bergen I
I think he way outdoes Taylor
So Yrur...
So True
the start of this reminds me of State of Grace, from the Red Album.
Omg same thought I had
+Beth Stalker My first thought was Stars - "Take Me to the Riot"
me too
yep me too
Books-Cats-Swift yess😂
Blows the original away
This song is purely amazing. I can listen to it over and over again.
This version does justice to the song
This is the original..
@@shazyboy227 it isn't... it's a cover album of Taylor's
My Dear Journal I think the original is pretty good! Super fun and pop !
muzik masta yes. It is
Alex Chung no it isn’t though he probably did allow her that license...money thing
This has taken me back to "Sixteen candles" "The Breakfast Club" I mean this record is...I'm breathless. Spectacular.
I can't get enough of this version of this song. The obsession continues. 💟🙌🏻
This is incredible! I just don't like the people on here insulting Taylor Swift, I mean this is her song. In love with both versions!
She didn’t write these songs she has a team of writers she works with. It’s a good song but Ryan elevates it massively.
@@alastairbrewster4274 she did write the songs. She writes most of her lyrics most of the writers she works with usually modify the lyrics to either make the songs shorter/Longer/ or to just delete filler on the occasion that they do write lyrics it’s usually 2-7 lines Max.

@@FellDownTheCornHole Agreed. This mush took all the fun outta it.
@@basstrammel1322 it's just his interpretation of the song.
@@alastairbrewster4274 oh, she writes all her songs, entire “Speak now “ and rest usually alone. So don’t disrespect her. Ryan’s work is beautiful btw.
OH MY GOD. My heart can't take it. They are all so beautiful and amazing and wonderful.
Olivia, meet actual music with feeling and heart.
Olivia Cappel Ryan is Epic..... x
I can't explain why I like this so much. He brings out the best in her music they should collaborate continuously
This is probably my least favorite Taylor’s track 5 which has a reputation of being sad songs with amazing lyrics. The overkill production of the original sounds off and Ryan does a much better job. I still love the og it’s just not one of my favorite songs on the og 1989.
i can't believe taylor covered this
love the U2 vibe on this song, so good
after listening all day, this is my favorite track from the new album 👍🏼
+Magneto Rex thats why i was like.. it sounds so familiar?!?! but i love it too
+Akira I was thinking more the smiths ... not u2
+Magneto Rex dont
U2 vibe? Confused
we will need “1989 (Ryan’s Version)” with the new vault tracks!!
This is my favorite of his 1989 cover!
This song was one of my least favourites from TS' 1989, but this cover is actually the one I like the most. Thank you, Ryan.
when i saw this album i was sceptical. i thought 'why would you?' then i listened to it. this is genius, gosh i love it. i grew up in the 80s and thought it had a very 80s vibe. best era for music. thrilled i found this album!
Never underestimate RA ever again ❤
This album is going to be a massive and deserved hit
It won 3 Grammys (i mean Tay, in case you didnt get that this was a cover album)
@@alexchung736 grammys mean nothing . Ryan Adam's destroys Taylor swift in every aspect musically. That's a fact
@@curragh4635IJBOL
This and Out of the Woods are the two best songs he covers (IMO). He just takes them to a completely other level.
I love this cover so much
T Swift is inspired... R Adams is Genius. R Adams is our generation's Dylan
The only version I know, haunting.
This is *the* definitive version of "All You Had To Do Was Stay". Ryan evoked the true meaning of the song.
I feel like this should be played at the end of an 80's movie. Just imagine end credits rolling 👌🏼
Now Ryan needs to cover "Anti-Hero." Make it happen, please.
Holy shit...I'm in love
This song reminds me of something that should've been repped in some awesome, cliche, yet underrated nostalgic movie from the 80's. I love it.
OMG!! I CAN'T BREATHE!! MY FAVORITE SONGG
RA is singing his heart out on this track. SO FRIGGING GOOD.
He was lamenting losing his wife, Mandy Moore, to divorce.
C'mon guys, the Replacements/Westerberg smell is amazing. Ryan Adams, you're genius.
I agree, a lot of these covers remind me of The Replacements
I’ve never even heard Taylor’s version but this is a cracking song
I didn't even know this was a Taylor Swift song. It just came on a playlist and I loved it.
Ryan Adams and Taylor Swift are both virtuosos within in thier own unique fabric of the music world.
This is just pure gold in the making.
This song always makes me cry.
i have no words for this album
+LenStrah I do. "Useless".
+CSpan1993 OOOOOOOOOH REKT
People are comenting 'this is my favorite song from 1989 and i like it even more now!'
And here I am thinking this song and I Wish You Would are my least favorites from 1989 and now they're my favorites...
Really? That's funny because they're my two favorites off the album. And I think Ryan did a great job covering this and I wish you would!
+Katie “Thegirlonfire” A
Yes, he did!!
+CSpan1993
Not really.. Clean is one of my favorites and I don't think you should have judged me like that.
damn if I got a dollar for everytime I hit the replay button I'd be a millionaire this song is so amazing.
The Cure meets Taylor swift... I love it! 💡
+KRISTINA BARRIOS Except that this isn't the Cure and this isn't 1984. It's 2015 and Ryan Adams covered a Taylor Swift album. This, Kristina Barrios, is a very dumb thing you are witnessing before your very eyes.
+Movies For Adults Why is it dumb for a great rock musician like Ryan to appreciate and respect Taylor for the amazing songwriter that she is?
+Movies For Adults your a Mormon and need to learn to talk like a normal person and gtfoh with your troll shit. low life.

Yeah, yeah, I'm digging this...
Road trippin', summer vacationing, John Hughes montage-ing, singing along out loud in Cameron's dads Vette... awesome cover - go Ryan go!
My older brother introduced me to this. Outfield “Your Love” vibe imo
He definitely delivers some high energy on this one. I'd like to see him work w the Gaslight Anthem.

People like me are gone forever when u say goodbye 💅💋
This song personified my last 8 months. Cant stop listening to this. Ryan nails it again.
People like you always want back the love they gave away
And people like me wanna believe you when you say you've changed
The more I think about it now the less I know
All I know is that you drove us off the road
Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in
Hey, now you say you want it
Back now that it's just too late
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made
People like you always want back the love they pushed aside
But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye
Stay, hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in
Stay, hey, now you say you want it
Back now that it's just too late
Well could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay (Stay, stay, stay)
Let me remind you this was what you wanted (Oh oh oh)
You ended it
You were all I wanted (Oh oh oh)
But not like this
Not like this
Not like this
Oh, all you had to do was stay
Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in

BEST COVER SONG OF THE ALBUM. hands down.
My god this song is perfect... wish it didn't make me freaking sad
I love this! probably my favorite cover of this album
This is magic ❤️
After knowing Kelly Clarkson tweeted about this version of the song, I want her to sing this version on her show so badly
God this is so good. Taylor’s version just always fell flat for me. THIS.. is an amazing spin on it. All the credit goes to Taylor for writing this song, and it’s beautiful. But Ryan brought this to life and I was able to really feel the song, like really feel it
This is so magical in every way.
Amazing voice !!!!!!! Love this song
This song has been in my head for days
One of the best.....
IM OBSESSED
oh my, I adore it so much
of all the songs on this cover .. This was my favorite ! 😉
for any of the negative nancy's out there RA sang his heart out on this cover album venture. this song is a perfect example of him showing off his pipes and my fav of these songs...I can't stop blaring it in my car....I think people are starting to look at me like i'm a weirdo
this album cover was inspired by his divorce from Mandy Moore. Listening to it from that perspective makes this album heartbreaking.
+Roughnalph Way to bring me down. :(
+Roughnalph IKR IM CRYING
+Pieynaaa this love has me in a ball, singing it to my cat, crying on my floor.
ew he married that thing? gross.
She is not a "thing". She is a very talented singer in her own right. Show some respect.
very magical! love this song.
wow wow wow, this is FANTASTIC!
I hate that we can never enjoy these songs the same again

Melhor versão!
I want to listen to other songs but I keep clicking on this one. What is this sorcery?

when I listen to this album with your voice I feel like I am in the 90's
I JUST REALLY LOVE YOU OKAY
Pure perfection.
Is interesting to see his approach on lyrics and vocals to portrait his feelings
She is so good. And he is so good!
I luv this Album soooooo much!!!!
Am I the only one who think that this one it's so much better than the original?
Much, much better.
The style is totally different
This is pop Godliness!
Effin' awesome! Ryan is brilliant.
OMG, New Wave! I am jammin'
I love this one so much!
one of my 13 year old students said she "didn't like it bc it was too sad but all you had to do was stay was ok"
He crushes this song. Damn great cover
I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE THIS SONG...I LOVE IT
*Watching the interview with Adams & Swift...you just know Taylor plays this cover over and over driving down the Pac 1 highway, singing along out loud...
Sounds like State Of Grace.
SO MUCH BETTER OH MY GOD
I love this so much
YES!!!!!!!
I keep rewinding the first couple minutes trying to make this song last an hour or so.
Instrumentals remind me of The Cure
feels like im time traveling while listening to this song....
Amazing, love it.
Over a million way to go Ryan 🙂
