Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, “Sweet Illusions”

These things inside me, they repeat like broken records
Spinning pretty somethings behind my eyes
And when I can’t look at you
I can paint your picture perfectly in my mind.

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals — Magnolia Mountain

We burned the cotton fields down in the valley
And ended up with nothing but scars
The scars became lessons that we gave to our children after the war
But there ain’t nothing but truth up on the Magnolia Mountain
Where nobody ever dies
Steady your soul and ease your worry

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, Sweet Illusions

Ryan Adams is very hard to describe musically, which is great; that’s the kind of music I like to do. When we were recording the Cold Roses project, he very much wanted the Jerry Garcia type of steel sound

And I’m not gonna break, but if I do I’m gonna shatter like the glass I turned your heart into. I’m broken like the windows in the house where i used to live.

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, “How Do You Keep Love Alive” & “Pearls On A String” (Nov 2007)

the latter performance is one of my favourites ever because it’s an utterly charming acoustic rendition with the whole band sat at and around Letterman’s desk. also bonus!Nellie McKay on ukelele.

Let’s take a ride to the easy plateau
Where the cold don’t come and the wind don’t blow
Moonlight flickers on the water below
The orange grove blossoms
In the orange grove
Bad nights lead to better days
It doesn’t matter but I think about it anyway

— Easy Plateau
