  • @wildflowerfever
    @wildflowerfever 6 років тому +25

    Every single line of this song is exquisitely perfect. I have never found a song that encapsulates pure MISSING so well. The chords might be simple but it works, you know? When the anger dissipates and you're just bereft... Wanting to call her and trying to resist... The good memories that haunt you when you pass the places you went together... And then the image of finding her hairs still on the pillow, silver hairs, because you're not that young anymore, and missing everything about her, even that little sign of aging that society still considers imperfection... Goddamn, dude.

    It's so hard to be without you
    Lying in the bed, you are so much to be without
    Rattles in my head, that empty drum filled with doubt
    Everything you lose, the wisdom will find its way out
    Every night is lonesome and is longer than before
    Nothing really matters anymore
    It's so hard to be without you
    Used to feel so angry, and now only I feel humble
    Stinging from the storm inside my ribs where it thunders
    Nothing left to say or really even wonder
    We are like a book and every page is so torn
    Nothing really matters anymore
    It's so hard not to call you
    Thunders in my bones out on the streets where I first saw you
    When everything was new and colourful, it's gotten darker
    Every day's a lesson, things were brighter before
    Nothing really matters anymore
    It's so hard to be without you
    Everyday I find another little thread of silver
    Waiting for me when I wake, some place on the pillow
    And then I see the empty space beside me and remember
    I feel empty, I feel tired, I feel worn
    Nothing really matters anymore

    Ryan, beautiful sad song from your heart and soul. I lost my fiancé in September from an accidental (OD). She came over to see me before checking into rehab. Something she wanted to do before we got married and had 1 more baby. She never made it, died in my arms, police did not even try to save her, to busy robbing our stuff, booking me for murder then sending me away for over a month in jail, this way I could not go to her wake, funeral or burial. Plus had me evicted from our place while I was Jail, took what they wanted, then tossed the rest in the garbage !! Lia would of been 38 and I would have been 58 when we got married. Now i literally have nothing but some of my memories, I am homeless, jobless, zero money, no work, along with tons of medical bills. They would not take us to the Veterans hospital since i am a Veteran, nope regular hospital only costing us almost $100,000 !
    Like a disabled Veteran has that kind of money lying around the house collecting dust.
    I feel for you sir, along with anyone else who reads this about losing a loved one. Yes, it doesn’t matter anymore, unless someone like you Mr. Adams turns our sad emotions into a beautiful song like this. Thank you for relieving our pain for tonight, it puts a smile on my sad face , first time in 5 months. Life long fan of yours, have a great year ahead sir if you can……

    @jenrockxoxo 7 років тому +3

    Wow. This song is just so good. The part that hits me pretty hard is the last verse because he is talking about finding pieces of her hair around even still. THAT is a painful reminder for sure and it's so believable. I'M SURE IT HAPPENS.
    Unfortunately, I think many of us can relate to a similar shade of shitty ass heartache these days. Although we can't be expected to ever forget it (and why would we want to?), I hope the pain eases up for Ryan and for all of us.
    Not to be too cheesy, but Khalil Gibran comes to mind..."When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."
    Ryan Adams has provided much of the soundtrack for so many of my own years of repeated heartaches and disasters and it's been rather therapeutic. Thanks man.
    The last verse I alluded to at the beginning of this comment:
    "It's so hard to be without you
    Everyday I find another little thread of silver
    Waiting for me when I wake some place on the pillow
    And then I see the empty space beside me and remember
    I feel empty, I feel tired, I feel worn
    Nothing really matters anymore"

    This feels like it would have been the best track on Easy Tiger. Real 2007-era vibes
