Lyrics:
Until I’m brave enough to call you
I just fall through every time
Wish I’d waved when I saw you
I just watched you passing by
So much coming through
Every hour too
Can’t get enough of you
You come around I’m ruined
You come around I’m ruined
You gave me no answer
Nor asked me to lie
You just gave me an amethyst
From your jeweled vest as you cried
So much coming through
Every hour too
Can’t get enough of you
You come around I’m ruined
You come around I’m ruined
So much coming through
Every hour too
Can’t get enough of you
You come around I’m ruined
You come around I’m ruined
We shared in the basement
As the fern bent to the window
And we drew to alignment
As the water soaked the pillow
So much coming through
Every hour too
Can’t get enough of you
You come around I’m ruined
You come around I’m ruined
So much coming through
Every hour too
Can’t get enough of you
You come around I’m ruined
You come around I’m ruined
So much coming through
Every hour too
Can’t get enough of you
You come around I’m ruined
You come around I’m ruined
So much coming through
Every hour too
Can’t get enough of you
You come around I’m ruined
You come around I’m ruined
So much coming through
Every hour too
Can’t get enough of you

I’m just perplexed at how emotional her voice is, every single time she starts singing I’m like WHOA

[@PeterHollingshead]

Same. Putting all that emotion into my own music is both hard and healing. Adrianne is a beacon of overcoming adversity through expression. We're lucky to have her amongst us.

[@growingmelancholy8374]

Thanks. I try.

[@tomwhitham1538]

Adrianne is such an underrated guitarist, it's always a pleasure to hear any time she gets to improvise. Incredible musician and songwriter!

[@ectoplasma5]

Not underrated,she is just not as popular as Taylor Swift or something,and that may be a good thing.

[@g2theis0]

This is a funny comment to put on this

[@seven-yo8lr]

​@@g2theis0the point of this guitar solo is to express the ruin of the singer. It's really hard to purposely botch a solo but still have it be so musical

[@oneshoej3]

The more I listen to that guitar solo, the more I love it. The way it delicately wobbles between dissonance and consonance is so moving

[@tsopuaifa]

It takes skills to pull off a solo like that.

[@hannahwhite1729]

This song came out as soon as I ended a six year relationship. I needed this song. I still do. Thank you Adrianne, I won’t ever forget this. My grandkids will know this tune. I swear.

[@Kittyiseatingmyorgans]

I wish you a prosperous journey of reflection and time to grow your wings ❤

[@LordOfElderon]

i think ending a 6 year relationship just lowered your chances of grandkids.

[@hannahwhite1729]

@LordOfElderon luckily I'm still younger than my mom when she had my older sister and she's got grandkids already :)

[@NewYorkerPEACE]

@@LordOfElderon Being an asshole is no way to go through life and not expected on Lenker page. * Hanna, you'll have beautiful, amazing grandchildren and wonderful relationships with whoever will be so lucky.

[@growingmelancholy8374]

Relationships are meant to end.

[@lucia.on.papers]

Where have I been before being here

[@henryhoogenveen6963]

In a time that nothing seems to be real anymore Adrianne cuts deep. What a beauty!!!

[@euripidesaltintzoglou2317]

This live performance ought to be released. On vinyl please.

[@kristiannaranalli]

When the guitar kicked in- oh my god was that beautiful. She has so much emotion not only in her voice but in her playing as well.

[@valmmiyo]

im so glad to be alive. thank you adrianne

[@Paralelalamb]

She easily brings me to water

[@tsopuaifa]

If she ever gets popular among the masses we know we are close to the end.

[@jpanbe]

If there ever is a Twin Peaks season 4, then this should be in it!

[@michaeljosephschmitz5380]

She has so many songs that leave me absolutely destroyed and ruined

[@tj03297]

So you’re saying when she comes around you’re ruined..

[@Jasminesfrog]

@@tj03297ayyyy

[@BrendaJBentley]

Adrianne is so fragile like a bomb. 🎉❤

[@zacharywoodward8543]

like a bomb like in war.

[@BrendaJBentley]

@@zacharywoodward8543a bomb like an ecstatic relic detonated

[@jordanhodder8481]

Perfectly put homie

[@jackr_4382]

This touches the listener like very few things can

[@flowergardengirl1]

Something about this hits me harder than the studio version. I’m sitting here in tears

[@manueloviedo1306]

Her music tenders my heart

[@allyson--]

The guitar interlude in this version ... adore

[@idontknowwhattocallm]

The discordance of the heart

[@romanasky6820]

Exactly. This is brilliant and creative. I got it.

[@mr._baum]

Wow this is beautiful... even better live 😮

[@bbgodR]

Man she the GOAT fr

[@kristydavison2371]

Haven’t heard this version yet. I’m weeping.

[@romanspataro1688]

deep chills when the guitar came in

[@diorblunt]

I’m not always one for comparisons but.. her songwriting capabilities are very reminiscent of Elliott Smith. In the best way possible.

[@japanesecinema6736]

I think Phil Elverum too. A lot of vulnerability and sadness with these songwriters.

[@p_p_p_p_7732]

This is beautiful. Cannot wait to see Adrienne live next month 💖

[@GmannDav]

Beautiful song. Love the guitar. a-ha stay on these roads for 2024

[@laradiantrr9357]

As soon as I saw Adrienne's name...and then Nick's....and then THIS particularly beautiful, moving, tender vibrational poetry called "Ruined" ....I tapped the play button like my frequency ascension depended on it.🎼🎵🎶💫👏🏻🌠🌌 And I was not disappointed. That guitar told its own story in those last 60 seconds.... and Adrienne was the perfection channel to 💓 carry the message through.

[@septillionsuns]

It is lovely to see that these songs are deep seances for you, dear gentle Adrianne. Remember that an indigo child is meant to protect and unlock a chyrstalline child, which Indigo has obviously done in your metamorphosis. Free treasure now flows from you for the whole world.

[@notsoquiet6598]

My heart is breaking.

[@mimi-hv6ub]

Favorite song ever

[@sashimmi1]

i just close my eyes and oh.. how beautiful 💔🤍🤍🤍

[@desertBruja]

Addriann's show in my little hometown sold out with in days. I'm do bummed that i didn't get a ticket. So much beauty in the honesty of the music.

[@brownraf56]

Break down the door

[@brownraf56]

Or like something like that but not quite so agro 😂

[@jumpedintheriverwhatdidise5499]

I'm going through a heartbreak right now and this song is tipping me over the edge. She's moved on and here I am watching this thinking of ending it all. Why is life so cruel

[@mymyscellany]

Stick in there, do not join the black out angels

[@shittysunglasses]

Let life

[@nathalietauscher]

deeply thankful, my soul said ♡

[@johndziedzic7361]

This is beauty. sorrow. life.

[@nowherefast7893]

Best birthday surprise! Thanks Adrianne

[@Lanadelreyloverr]

Literally comforting voice

[@juniorthe3rdjuniorthe3rd]

Blown away with emotion. ❤. I’m ruined. She brings out emotion in me.

[@neildobbs7278]

damn, what a performance. I was going to come with something quippy about the solo but, I immediately understood the disharmony. please record like this for the next solo album, the quality was so good and the piano lends its self so well to your voice

[@DavKatch]

Holy fucking shit...

What are your opinions on the guitar solo?

[@shyamravindran6793]

damn ! how did she copy my guitar-solo-playing style without ever watching me play....shez psychic...

[@qdchang]

It's fucked up that no one stands up and hugs Adrianne after this. Like wtf.... so heartbreaking

[@dp-bh5fh]

What on earth makes you think that would be an appropriate moment for that

[@danielecamurro_]

thought that i was high…

[@skotholt3108]

I had to change my shirt

[@skotholt3108]

I believe in you and your pursuit to let us be aware

[@skotholt3108]

bo and you gave me your music when you saw me alone in the city, I forever love you for your hospitality while you were also alone

[@erin-darbym.6444]

pianist and Adrianne are not in sync, but still they are two wonderful performers and I love this song.

[@oneshoej3]

I feel like they were each trying to let the other lead during Adrianne's vocals

[@clumsiii]

something wrong with me or would this song sound awesome as a fast loud punk song? my ear is telling me it would work my lazy ass says: crowdsource that cover

[@salsabillamrani1944]

the guitar scene is very very very bad
