For me the lyrics sound like a rewrite of Nirvana's all-timer "On a Plain."

Listening to this in the background I got a distinct hint of Elmer Fudd. Or was that just me?

Hey look everyone! a wabbit!

i can hear why some people might compare Ryan to Chris Isaak - they both owe a tip of the hat to Roy Orbison ... Ryan is Northern California, Chris is more South

Thanks for the tips. I liked this song too - I'll check out his other albums!

This is a great song that's about as far removed from Chris Isaak as you can get.

I'd actually say the whole cd is quite good. Not the catchiest stuff, but it grows on you.

Its a shame someone compared Ryan to Chris Issak, they are nothing alike. I love the Easy Plateau song. New CD isnt bad at all, but i love his older CD's Heartbreaker and demolition.

Not a bad song but those high notes are making dogs bark all over the neighborhood.

I won't say this song is terrible, but it's absolutely too long.

lovin' it

You are sorely out of touch there, my friend. I doubt he compares himself to Chris Issak. Ever. Or likes MTV. Funny that people seem to think of him as an "MTV artist." Have they ever even played him on that Music-forsaken channel?

That's what I think anyway.

No matter how many times I try, and no matter what song he sings, I just can't get into this Ryan Adams fella at all.

I can't even put a finger on why, but EVERY time his songs come on, I look for the STOP or MUTE button.

I won't rate the song since I've already hit stop.

Yeah, the song itself isn't bad but those background vocals are a crime.

Hey, it has cool pedal steel, and I'm a sucker for that, so we have a winner by default here.....

Ryan Adams is a goofy bastard who seems to think he's Chris Isaak - that's what happens to kids who watch too much MTV growing up.

haha! I thought this was Roy Orbison - and then I was like, "wait... no..."

This guy sings so poorly he makes Neil Young sound like Pavarotti.

Sounds like he's channelling Jerry Garcia in that guitar solo.

Forget this stuff. Does RP ever play WhiskeyTown?

This is a great song. RA is a jerk but also a very talented artist. Phil Lesh wouldn't have asked Ryan to tour with him if he weren't.

they should.
have a nice day.

I like "Cold Roses", but he sounds like Tiny Tim in this song.

5 on the initial listen, dropped to 4 on the second.

Absolutely love the way the guitar sounds on this and "Cold Roses" kind of early 60's style...

SWEET!

Definitely on the backing vocals...Roy or Grace Slick. ;-)

Likeable tune. Very Dead-esque.
