  • OK enough with the sad songs. This is a song that everyone loves. Ryan's tribute to Los Angeles to go along with his tributes to other fine cities like New York and Chicago. Maybe he will write a song about San Francisco or San Diego some day? Basel, switzerland 11-09-2002

    What can you say about this guy? Brilliant, genius, a true artist in every sense of the word. Saw him this past winter in Columbus Oh. Superb show , and I never knew he was so funny. Nice to see he's mellowed with age.

    Wonderful song...My favourite line is 'One breaks my body, the other breaks my soul'...What a beautiful but eloquent way to describe alcohol and love. Poetic!

      I had a different take on it. But that’s the genius of Ryan’s songwriting, it’s often ambiguous. Whatever it’s about, it’s a thing of beauty.

    I love the info post on this song. "Ryan's tribute to Los Angeles, to go along with his tributes to other fine cities like New York and Chicago... "
    That set me thinking, and somehow, I couldn't help hearing Tom Wingfield saying that, in the line that goes, "in otherwise peaceful cities like Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis..."
    And with that, "He is... an emissary from a world of reality that we were somehow set apart from."
    In memory everything happens to music.

    please just explain to me how this song is not sad. have you actually listened to the words? this is just a step away from Dear Chicago. "One breaks my body and the other breaks my soul"...not sad? Really?

    Ryan Adams is a beautiful songwriter and musician, and has the best job in the world. He get's to do what he loves to do, and he's amazing at it. How many people can say "I love going to my job everyday" ? Yeah, you make minimum fucking wage, and Ryan Adams is the talentless one.

    Ha ha, enough with the sad songs? Only in relation to the tragedy, loneliness and heartbreak evident in his other songs does "feels so good but damn it makes me hurt" not seem sad.
    Nice tune, nice job ufopilot.

    'flannel' shirts definitely seem like they're making a comeback.
    except, it's mostly just plaid button-up shirts that kids call 'flannel' because they don't know any better, and not real flannel's like this western style one.

    I love his musical genious, his songs, and I will always look upward to his gift of talent. However, after seeing his embarrasing live performance in Ann Arbor a few years back, I can only hope he gets "straight" and buys a bar of soap and some shampoo with the money I wasted on a ticket to see him stumble around the stage smoking cigarettes, and playing along to a 45rpm recording of "Like A Virgin".
