“Honey, I’m out of service for a while
Damaged heart’s been manufactured
And every day this one never works anyway.” —Whiskeytown, Somebody Remembers the Rose

my name is Foggy and i help Ryan talk about the hard stuff and also the funny stuff, and we don’t do much in-between but it’s always real.
This place is all about change.
A mirror.
To a life that is all about change.
Because change is life.
And life is hard but rewarding if you have the balls to roll with it and take the knocks.
There is light if you look for it.
And there is always hope.
And you will find a little of all that here.
And Pizza.
Ryan Adams/Foggy (2008)

What a beautiful rendition of his duet with Emmylou…
After a long hiatus (during which he was very very missed), Ryan is back =) I am excited for a new (hopefully) album! He has been gone too long…
To download the rest of his surprise opening set for Emmylou Harris, click on over to Heather at I am Fuel, You are Friends! You won’t regret it =)
“They love to slam me and anyone who has anything to do with me, because I work real fucking hard. I think people take it as a personal affront that I’m creative. But I’m not doing it to say, ‘Look at me. I’m better than you.’ It isn’t even about that. I love working. Anyway, screw that site. They have to compete with internet porn and Star Wars fan sites. Star Wars fan sites are way cooler.”

most people never find a love

“She falls apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
And crawls back into bed when it’s over
And it’s over.” —Ryan Adams, Avalanche

I try so hard to be good
I get these bad ides
I try so hard to be good
it doesn’t always work out
it doesn’t always work out
but I try…
to feel the sunlight on my eyes
shake off the shadows
that were following me around
it’s very nice you know and quite a lot to take in
to feel the sunlight and start growing again.
