    6 years later, still my favorite.

    This man understands how to serve a song better than most. I love all the albums with full band arrangements. But sometimes just Ryan's voice and a guitar is the very best.

      Have you seen any of his solo acoustic shows this spring or last fall? Just Ryan, his guitars, piano & harmonica. Amazing 3 hour shows with 30+ songs.

    He is still an amazing singer and song writer. Much love for someone who is damaged. xx

      Maybe love Phoebe Bridgers considering how big of a pig/asshole he was towards her. Hell, even before that he was a huge self righteous ass. He can make one hell of a song, though. Also, if you like damaged musicians you should listen to Elliott Smith (much better songwriter than Adams) as well as John Moreland.

    this version is so intense, it is just heartbreaking and brought real tears to my eyes.
    NEVER ever listened to a more emotional version of this Ryan-classic. I love for good.

    For all the hours here that move too slow
    There's all this letting go, that don't pass
    If all this love is real, how will we know?
    If we're only scared of losing it, how will it last?
    If I am a stranger now to you
    I will always be, I will always be
    Stronger now than me, stronger than you
    Our love will always be
    And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
    If I can, what if I can't?
    Today is yesterday when you don't know
    How to rebuild the walls that someone has knocked down
    To tell the truth, it's hard enough without a lover
    Who you want to hide your darkness from
    So they won't let you down
    If I am a stranger now to you
    I will always be, I will always be
    Stronger now than me, stronger than you
    Our love will always be
    And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
    I will try to be there for you
    If I can, what if I can't?
    For all the hours here that move too slow
    There's all this letting go, that won't pass
    If all this love is real, how will we know?
    If we're only scared of losing it, how will it last?
    If I am a stranger now to you
    I will always be, I will always be
    Stronger now than me, stronger than you
    Our love will always be
    If we let it go, I will try to be there for you
    I will try to be there for you
    If I can, what if I can't?

    He performed an incredible show at Red Rocks, I think in 2019. Wish he'd hit the road again. Good way for him to get back on his feet, and earn some money.
