I thought the same thing when I lost my sweet mom and heard this... she lived with me five years as she struggled for life with leukemia... Sorry for y'alls losses.
I’d gone nearly a decade without shedding a tear. This song made me feel a type of way I’d forgotten was possible to feel. I can’t say enough positive about Adams’s music.
Ryan, you captured it with this one. Wow. Obviously you’ve been there. Has to mean so much to so many people. Hats off for such a hard-hitting and beautiful song.
Powerful song. After my wife and I divorced I listened to this song almost every day for a year and now I don't, thankfully. This song captures the hurt of love ending.
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.
My beautiful mum Mary died feb 4th 2018 at 6am... She was 70. World cancer day ironically. At tge moment ahe passed , the sun shone so brightly I knew Mum was with us still. This song played on the way back from Malvern to shropshire and I sobbed and sobbed. It's a great song but quite sad for me
Beautiful, aching, poignant song. Very real and heartfelt, you can tell. Anyone who has been through these feelings in their own life knows how real this song is in expressing it.
His music is killer, i have to give credit to my ex, kdp. Although, in light of recent events, he's still not slacking on keeping my soul tuned into his music, him Personally?? Better shape up, bruh.
The acoustical version is way better. It’s full of feeling. There’s a lot on YT, you won’t regret searching. There’s a great BBC version and a Virgin Radio recording
The man is on tour. Do ANYTHING to score a ticket. The songs come to life with the heroic energy and daredevil singing of this great artist, LIVE, ONSTAGE, IN PERSON! You have no idea how great he is until you've experienced it live.
You know what I see? Normally people don't stick to heartbroken songs as they find fun in other worldly things but what if that girl was the world for you? You stick to that heartbroken experience from that heartbreaker for years from 2000 to 2017 and so on. God bless you Ryan Adams, you are the man!
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 something, 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 in the streets where I first saw you When everything was new and colorful, 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
I've been listening to him for quite the while. Was on a dinner break and this came on. I had to stop eating and almost lost my appetite. Dude Is onto things.
I heard this for the first time on the radio in SLC on 6/17. My phone recognized it as your song. I thought to myself that I should see you in concert next time you came to SLC. Looked the song up on Spotify and lo and behold you were coming on 6/18. Got two tickets and saw you live for the first time. :) Love this song.
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……
Just wanted to say how beautiful this song is. When I found out who this song is meant for; I teared up knowing how important your grandmother was to you. So sorry about your loss.
His music speaks to my soul and my deep feelings of so many broken hearts I have survived. But I survived..Playing at Red Rocks here in Colorado!!! Cannot wait!
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"
@@janeanderson7122 I understand completely. This reminds me of the love of my life,my ex fiancée who left me for one of her ex boyfriends after we spent nearly 8 years together. Happened nearly 16 yrs ago,still haunts me.
What a great tone in his voice, beautifully played with simple drop downs and plenty of space around the notes........less is more......suuuuuuuuuublime. Made me pick up my acoustic when I should have been working, yes!!!
I know this is ment to be a song for lost relationships, but i lost my dad the other day. This song getting me through it
It can be any kind of lose....it makes you miss that Special Someone.
I lost my dad last year when I heard this song it made me think of him as well ❤
I'm so sorry. I lost my dad in January from covid and i think i'll never get over it.
be strong and enjoy life the best you can.
this is only a dream.
Much strength wished...just remember you never loose anyone for real. Just keep on hangin' in for those good memories. One day you'll meet again❤
I thought the same thing when I lost my sweet mom and heard this... she lived with me five years as she struggled for life with leukemia...
Sorry for y'alls losses.
Where the fuck have I been? I’m sixty and haven’t heard anything until tonight by accident . This kid is fucking awesome
He's a talented sociopath.
Same here😂 i know where i was stupid country music ! Ryan is awesome so gifted
Glad to hear im
Not alone in just discovering him 😂
We buried my older brother today, he liked Ryan Adams, this just melted my heart.
When you can't find the right words.... Ryan always has a song
I love this song so fucking much!
Cyberbird86 I can't like this comment enough
So true Cyberbird86!!!
Yea..he thumbs another one out of my portfolio
I just lost my husband, yesterday! And this is the song that I keep listening over and over again! It’s so hard to be without him!😭💔
I’d gone nearly a decade without shedding a tear. This song made me feel a type of way I’d forgotten was possible to feel. I can’t say enough positive about Adams’s music.
Saved me and my love. Haters gonna hate. Thank you, Ryan. Your work matters. Keep going.
Ryan, you captured it with this one. Wow. Obviously you’ve been there. Has to mean so much to so many people. Hats off for such a hard-hitting and beautiful song.
Powerful song. After my wife and I divorced I listened to this song almost every day for a year and now I don't, thankfully. This song captures the hurt of love ending.
Heavy beat, strong bass, crisp guitar, meaningful lyrics. Wonderful. Just wonderful
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...

Goddamn, dude.
totally agree. i can see the one i'm missing with every word.
Thank you. I didn't understand those parts. I have a teary left eye and a knot in my throat.
Or him...and all the memories that haunt to this day
To me this is about losing a mate to old age and mortality.
My beautiful mum Mary died feb 4th 2018 at 6am... She was 70. World cancer day ironically. At tge moment ahe passed , the sun shone so brightly I knew Mum was with us still.
This song played on the way back from Malvern to shropshire and I sobbed and sobbed. It's a great song but quite sad for me
This is one of the most beautiful acoustic songs I have ever heard. Absolutely stunning!!!
Never get tired of this beautiful song..his voice,his words,the guitar playing..
Sam fender-spit of you
"We are like a book and every page is so torn" 🥺
Beautiful, aching, poignant song. Very real and heartfelt, you can tell. Anyone who has been through these feelings in their own life knows how real this song is in expressing it.
Tuan Jim truer words have never been spoken
The melody alone in this effort is soulful let alone the lyrics. This fella has an incredible gift and is not mainstream either..
word
This song is a marvel. If I'd written it, I would be so full of myself for the rest of my life no matter how little I would achieve otherwise
I saw Ryan few years back in a small amphitheater. When he played this song, it’s was magical and surreal. The vibe was incredible.
beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful
This is close to a perfect song. Thank God for this dude.
I know
His writing is simply amazing
His music is killer, i have to give credit to my ex, kdp. Although, in light of recent events, he's still not slacking on keeping my soul tuned into his music, him Personally?? Better shape up, bruh.
🙂👍
The acoustical version is way better. It’s full of feeling. There’s a lot on YT, you won’t regret searching. There’s a great BBC version and a Virgin Radio recording
I had a dream about this song. I'd forgotten how much I love it. I hope you are doing well Ryan. I miss your music.....
Ryan Adams is one of those singer/songwriters that is completely in touch with the human condition. Beautiful, just beautiful.
The man is on tour. Do ANYTHING to score a ticket. The songs come to life with the heroic energy and daredevil singing of this great artist, LIVE, ONSTAGE, IN PERSON! You have no idea how great he is until you've experienced it live.
Just a brilliant song.
This is fucking beautiful, Ryan.
Red Foreman. ditto
It's all there is to say about this song
This is the acid flashback! Killer tune
You know what I see? Normally people don't stick to heartbroken songs as they find fun in other worldly things but what if that girl was the world for you? You stick to that heartbroken experience from that heartbreaker for years from 2000 to 2017 and so on. God bless you Ryan Adams, you are the man!
and all you can do is count years till this breath gives up!
Just discovered this song and I absolutely love it. Sharing it wherever I can. Thank you, Ryan!
One of the beautiful song so have ever heard. My sweet Lord.. Gorgeous..
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 something, 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 in the streets where I first saw you
When everything was new and colorful, 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
thanks man
Chris Connelly the words are so beautiful and sad
Thanx for lyrics. I think the line actually is, "used to feel so angry, now I only feel humble".
Thank you!
At 59,finding a new song that makes me tingle is rare indeed.This song gives me the shivers.
My 12th grade psychology teacher showed me Ryan Adams and I will literally be forever thankful
How Beautiful!
Everybody’s been there, a reflection of hear ache, beautiful ❤
The man was literally born to write amazing music. So much good material from him.
Believe it or not there is still real music being made today folks
Música linda, esse cara só faz grandes canções ...
You cannot help but feel his heartbreak. Pain never sounded so beautiful....
I could listen to this over & over it's so beautiful.
Raw. Clean. Gorgeous
I've been listening to him for quite the while. Was on a dinner break and this came on. I had to stop eating and almost lost my appetite.
Dude Is onto things.
6 years past. I thought it would be easier by now. Your song explains it well and somehow helps. Thanks Ryan,
Dude is awesome!
Love the song Ryan. It's like you are following me around writing about my life. It's good to know you're not the only one sometimes. thanks
Same here man! Keep strong!
Yas
Ryan's soul on display.
Not sure what you got going on here, my man, but you sure got a big chunk of something special inside you to create this. Give us more, please.
Luv how a lot of his great songs are short, simple, and perfect like this one. Like the great old school punk songs. Great shit
I heard this for the first time on the radio in SLC on 6/17. My phone recognized it as your song. I thought to myself that I should see you in concert next time you came to SLC.

It's so hard to be without you...
Why isn't this song getting any play time on the radio. It sounds like an absolute chart topper!
Lisa Propper they play it on Sirius XM 60 Outlaw County. that's where I first heard it
For me nobody else comes close,God bless you Ryan and may your genius be with us for many years to come ,couldn't live without your music.
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……
I love, love love this song, Ryan Adams is soooooooooo amazingly perfect. What a talent!!!!!
Just wanted to say how beautiful this song is. When I found out who this song is meant for; I teared up knowing how important your grandmother was to you. So sorry about your loss.
I lost mt wife 4 years ago to ovarian cancer. This is how I felt since that day.I still want to call her.
Mark VanBlarcum real sorry for your loss. stay strong brother
I really feel a connection to this song and I feel like he expresses exactly how I'm feeling. It's such a beautiful song.
"Lying in the bed, you are so much to be without"
Wow, those lyrics!
Another of those classic tunes.
nothing really matters anymore...
Marshall Tucker vibe all the way, so satisfying, could play it on repeat and never tire of it, the way it rides out you just want to start it over!
His music speaks to my soul and my deep feelings of so many broken hearts I have survived. But I survived..Playing at Red Rocks here in Colorado!!! Cannot wait!
jesus what a voice. I'm in love. Reminds me of that bell-like clarity of a young John Denver. Gorgeous voice.
jossy314 I agree with you about Ryan Adams sounding like John Denver. this song reminds me a lot of Rockey Mountain High
I don't like every Ryan Adams song but when his songs hit me they hit me hard
You touched my soul with this .You are very blessed.
NOTHING MATTERS anymore
the great Ryan Adams, where would we be without you xx
Love this song...so very sad and hits home when you have experienced major loss in your life.
I love someone deeply and he is old. This song always makes me choke up. It's exactly how I will someday feel.
This is yet another classic song by David Ryan Adams. We are truly blessed to have him around and creating beautiful songs.
This song is very beautifully put together.
thank you jjj for introducing this shinning star to me
I can’t believe this song is 4 years old. It’s sooooo good!!!!
He sings what he feels as it should be...
I Think Ryan Adams is one of the greatest Genious alive. His songs are those little things that make life worthwhile. Thanks Ryan.
i love love love this song !!!
Absolutely Beautiful!! My Lord!! Unrequited ❤️ love!! Sweet lord!! What a voice!?
What an amazing range and fantastic ability to go between head voice and falsetto. Not easy to do for most folks.
Soul telling lyrics, God givin talent. Absolutely beautiful . Not to mention right time......
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.

Ryan is such a great song writer and he has a voice so deep .
heavy Neil Young vibes. I really think Ryan is reborn on this new release
Can not believe I haven't heard this before . Great song
Ryan Adams you are just totally amazeballs !!!!!!!
Break my ❤️ heart!! Absolutely gorgeous song.
a true poet!
first heard this a few days ago and I just cannot stop playing it, reminds me of Neil Young in the 70's, no bad thing!
I listen to it because of a love that will never be possible for me and my obsession!
@@janeanderson7122 I understand completely. This reminds me of the love of my life,my ex fiancée who left me for one of her ex boyfriends after we spent nearly 8 years together. Happened nearly 16 yrs ago,still haunts me.
@@jnunez825 wow, she went with your ex boyfriend of 8 years, harsh of her to take him away from you.
@@johnnyveganite9141 it was HER ex-boyfriend she left me for, after she and I had been together nearly 8 yrs,probably should've made that clearer
This guy can really write songs!
What a great tone in his voice, beautifully played with simple drop downs and plenty of space around the notes........less is more......suuuuuuuuuublime. Made me pick up my acoustic when I should have been working, yes!!!
I need this new album in my life more than ever right now.
I know. They always break my heart.
Great song, great songwriter..it's a sad song but it feels like sweet melancholy
It's so hard to be without you...
Such a great song, amazing.
can't stop my tears dropp
Going through a divorce I never thought would happen.....this song makes makes memories run down my face
He deserves a trophy
Completely fu*king brilliant.
Amazingly perfect
This is Ryan back at his best!! truly awesome!!
Beautiful song.👍👍
May 2020 and shit sucks latley. Headphones and a long night walk alone. Hopeful for better days
he just speaks for my soul. 💗
"I feel empty. I feel tired, I feel warm"
worn
This song makes me want to get my heart broken so I can heal listening to this. The words sum up that feeling so well. Beautiful
