Ryan Adams - To Be Without You (6 Music Live Room session)

[@rusty5113]

This song has helped me cope with the sudden loss of my 9 yr.-old son. Thanks, Ryan.

[@davidcoggin8861]

I cry for your loss. I can't comprehend your pain but know someone who doesn't know you wishes you some way to find comfort and holds you.

[@mattinfinity1623]

Hope u are okay Rusty. Bet he was an incredible boy. Much love to you. Thank you for your openness

[@85tclower]

Ryan has a way of doing that. I hope you find as much comfort as possible considering the situation.

[@nightclubrealm]

I'm so sorry for your loss.

[@samrsmiley]

Sending love. I’m so sorry

[@jammielettMX326]

Absolutely incredible ! Ryan Adams will be relevant for eternity , his music will last forever . Maybe the most underrated musician in history. ❤️

My Lisa died in my arms from congestive heart failure June 13, 2020 this year just 13 days past her birthday... she was 54... it's been only a couple months but I've come to realize one of the hardships that comes from loosing someone. We'd been together close to 8 years and since she's been gone, I've come to know that she was most of all of my world. It was suddenly... "Now what do I do" there was literally nothing for me to do anymore. Oh sure, the dress yourself, brush your teeth n comb your hair eat... that still remained of course, but the calling her name and trying to plan out the week/day and the talking and bills and car and....and...and... laughing and joking and talk about the kids and how life was gonna be ours and how the world was there for us to be in. I truly loved her with all of me... there is so little it seems left of me that I had basically forgotten how to shave and shower and basically, how to care... about anything now really... I am so depressed... how am I going to get that any of that back, Well, I'm just not gonna be. I'm so lost with out you Lisa my darling... my love, my life... my true reason for being. I near felt I had invested too much of me... to much of ALL of me... my aching heart. My weary mind and my losing the taste for wanting anything,anyone can see I suppose. Ryan says it where there is A LOT of meaning behind the line : Its so hard to be without you... so far, due to simple sustainment from the momentum we had going, I've gone a couple months having it hard to be without her. I may have to say, sometime soon too, that it's so impossible to be without her... She was literally my everything I was living for... God surely knows... She herself now . . . surely knows... I love you Lisa, I can't wait to see you again. God bless Lynn Jason (musician, friend and of the true hearted) Hugs and kisses baby

[@simonelieffring4711]

God bless my friend

[@xreediculousx]

Thinking about you today, Lynn. I hope this message find you well. God Bless you brother.

[@ziastateofmind]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was brilliant. I was driving on a rural Texas highway and I wanted to pull over the car, call the radio station (I channel surf in rural areas), and demand to know more. It's the kind of song that makes you want to stop the world so that you can really hear it, but at the same time force anyone in hearing distance to listen. Simply the best.

[@dannymcleod1899]

Guys a genius. End of!! Best songwriter of my generation bar none.

[@wlgj1341]

Danny Mcleod = quite the kudos and im realizing your appreciation is for the song in its entirety + adams' delivery..however, the storyline is mine so one can imagine that extent of appreciation is mind-numbing.." best of your generation"...have to love that

[@ronnierocker1233]

There's a few other good ones. Jack White as an example.

[@wlgj1341]

Going to start this from scratch..why ? didn't like the first pass..?

[@TheManOnTheRail]

Jason Isbell. Listen to Southeastern,

[@trentcooper9308]

Amen!!

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

"And everything was new and colorful, it's gotten darker Every day's a lesson, things were brighter BEFORE And nothing really matters anymore"

[@bigbattenberg]

His voice is so rich, so much nuance, colour, detail. It’s amazing. Impossible to emulate (for me at least)

[@philipearlmcg3964]

One of the most beautiful and poignant songs ever.

[@pauljensen4535]

He's back. Heartbroken again, and again writing amazing music. Losing Mandy once again brought out the greatness of the best songwriters in modern history.

[@WallyBrando]

I agree it's a great record but it's a bit sadistic and cold to say that he's only great when he's heartbroken.

[@stephenweathersby1054]

+Alex B agree..Ryan Adams is the best weather he is depressed about a love or just writing about life.....period.

[@Sassifrassilassi]

I agree, sounds like old Ryan. I love this so much.

[@FER-oc9my]

This song cuts so deep no matter how many times I listen to it. Everything about this video is beautiful.

[@martinjohnbutler]

Man, he just finds it every time. Just brilliant.

[@timhogle4880]

This man is truely one of the best, I hope that he finds peace and can overcome what haunts him. Everyone looses if he does not put out more music.

[@1091Floyd21]

Very true. Bu how does it sit with you that he made an advance on an underage girl? I don't think he was really cancelled because he "bullied" his wife. They wouldn't have had enough in just that to cancel him.

[@timhogle4880]

@@1091Floyd21 that doesn't sit well if it's a true accusation it deserves some attention first I've heard of that one. Not that it's right but it didn't hurt David Allan Coe or Chuck Berry and they had a long history of that bullshit I don't support that no matter who is doing it

[@oliveoil4380]

Impaired, damaged people do fucked up things. A second chance is warranted. I miss his good music. (The last album after Prisoner was crap, but Prisoner was top shelf.)

[@erinlane5809]

@@1091Floyd21 he was cleared of that - google it.

[@Razzzz77]

This guy is a MASTER of the instrument. That statement should solidify my greatness.

[@michbiker]

My anthem for a broken relationship that still hurts to this day. Great Song, Ryan.

[@terylpittman1396]

I started getting to know Ryan's music with "Lucky Now" a few years back, then I heard this song and WOW!!! I am engrossed with the passion he plays and gives each song. Now I have bought lots more of his music and I'm loving every minute of it. Well done.

[@DonGiggity]

This is so good. Man, I wish they would make more songs like this in the world. Ryan is an American treasure

[@Discobiscuit372]

Beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time, I love this song ❤️

[@vivipsi]

Absolutely sad and beautiful.

[@RawskoFPS]

gonna see him in glasgow its going to be something off my bucket list

[@erinlane5809]

Get ready for 3 hours of pure magick! Saw him twice this past October and he was fantastic.

[@davidnoel7160]

Cuts like a knife. This is latter day genius lyrically

[@rademos]

Happy Birthday Scorpio ! You write with the depths of the ocean.. You and Eilish the best songwriters of the millennium by far

[@dcjimr1]

I adore this song and it is what I hoped the album version would have been like. His voice sounds so distant on that album, like the microphone was 10 feet away.

[@championhairpuller]

No one sounds better with just a guitar than RA. Unearthly talent.

[@14wAYNE]

One of his best songs (and there are many good ones)

[@torbenskaaning8550]

Thanks for putting this on KZbin. Please let it stay up :)

[@reaganmiller453]

Second that! Please let it stay up on YT! Thank you. :-)

[@barryscott507]

A home run. Know the feeling, song hits home

[@ChrisvonChamier]

My band worked on this last night. Almost have it down. Masterpiece of a song!!!

[@richardeast939]

The greatest song ever written

[@joelmiddaugh8229]

I love that old red, yellowed, and blue guitar.

[@cvoelter]

Buck Owens Harmony, you too can have one for a little over 3k :)

[@joelmiddaugh8229]

@@cvoelter yeah I knew it was a Buck Owen's guitar. Didnt know it could be had for that cheap though. That's pretty cool. It's funny, I would just feel like a copycat of Ryan Adams if I had one. That's the only person I've ever seen playing one.

[@marcwilson7178]

A voice sent from above, delivered at just the right time.......words full of the extremities of love, passion and rhyme!........ahhhh fuck it!! Pure, unadulterated beauty!!!

[@reubenb660]

how can such a desolate song sound so warm

[@mnpopeye]

WHAT a talent. Sweet voice, good musician, lovely melody, and exceptional lyrics.

[@AshleySmith-lk5ty]

so glad i'm alive at the same time as this legend

[@shimtest]

darn Ryan Adams can still bring me to tears

[@CeeCee8x8]

So beautiful 😍

[@mnpopeye]

His voice is under-rated, for starters....

[@kddbb]

mnpopeye I just saw him at red rocks on June 20th. The crowd would all go silent whenever he would play acoustic and sing...it was so pure and beautiful.

[@skimastersam]

i was at that show too and it was crazy how he would play a rocking song the crowd is pumped and then he goes out to the front mic and EVERYONE was silent. amazing audience and amazing show

[@davidnoel7160]

He’s fantastic. Every vowel and consonant.

[@corkymccorkell]

Not long now till his Royal Albert Hall show.. Cannot wait!

[@rosariomarques5760]

I love the song ,it goes straight in to your heart

[@ChrisWilliams-hs3jm]

this is wonderful. hats off again to six music.

[@marksvetz671]

i was gonna write a song about missing my kitty of 18 yrs that recently passed. But Thank you Ryan you nailed it brother. I heard this song on NPR!

[@justinmyslive4108]

if you close your eyes and listen to this you'd think it was the Studio version. Ryan Adams sounds just as good live as he does on cd

[@stephenweathersby1054]

Ty for everything you've done for my ears, mind and soul over the last 20 yrs......keep on livin' brotherman and gl with Doomsday and everything at Pax Am....see you in Tn....peace

[@Grant_Ferstat]

The guy is an outstanding songwriter and, that's actually all that matters to me.

[@sueziehmer4101]

This is very, very beautiful and wonderful.

[@sunhighwaymusic2290]

Emotional songwriting... Great song!
