I've been grooving on this song by Ryan Adams lately. It's a great example of what this guy is capable of. Unfortunately, most of his recent music has been uninspired, overproduced mediocrity, but when he puts his heart into it he writes strong, honest, interesting songs like this one. "Dear Chicago" is about that dark, sad feeling you get after the heartache, after the bitterness, when you realize you're getting over it, whether you want to or not. Anyway, here are the lyrics...
Dear Chicago,
You'll never guess
You know the girl you said I'd meet someday
Well I got something to confess.
She picked me up on Friday
Asked me if she reminded me of you
I just laughed and lit a cigarette
Said that's impossible to do
Life's gotten simple since
Fluctuates so much
Happy and sad and back again
I'm not crying now too much
Think about you all the time
It's strange and hard to deal
Think about you lying there
And those blankets lie so still
Nothing breathes here in the cold
Nothing moves or even smiles
I've been thinking some of suicide
But there's bars out here for miles
Sorry about the every kiss
Every kiss you wasted back
I think the thing you said was true
I'm gonna die alone and sad
[bridge]
The wind's feeling real these days
Yeah baby it hurt's me some
Never thought I'd feel so blue
New York City, you're almost gone
I think that I've fallen out of love
I think I've fallen out of love with you.
