Whiskeytown - Easy Hearts

[@iRamble88]

I've had a pretty hard life, for such an easy heart... how can such simple lyrics hit so hard and be so perfect? One of the many reasons Ryan Adams will forever remain a favorite. No other artist has displayed the extreme versatility that he has while making each style sound completely natural

[@pameladarlenewoodward8385]

Agreed.But maybe Gram passed that down,as you know he was the bridge that gave us the likes of the 70'S singer-songwriter types.And brought us out of an era and into another. Ryan Adam's actually covered one of his song's.I just saw it.And didn't realize it was a cover,till I noticed he kept grams style in the arrangement.

[@JC-rf9px]

One of the best songwriter of his, and my, generation. No doubt. To your point I hate to point out the obvious, Mr. Bob Dylan displays extreme versatility over his 50 years of songwriting. And it's quite obvious Ryan Adams knows the cannon. I'm also going to throw Jeff Tweedy out there...versatile, brilliant.

[@wlgj1341]

Yet….?….I wrote this, how will that reflect..?

[@wlgj1341]

@@pameladarlenewoodward8385 Parsons got that from me, or anyway as Graham lay dying ( began to) lots of lyrics and storylines got shuffled…including ‘wild horses’ which mysteriously POPPED UP almost on that anniversary….Grahams demise

[@wlgj1341]

and yet…I wrote this

[@kittyflumpin]

Whiskeytown was just amazing. Just too achingly lovely to endure. This song still brings tears to my eyes, years later...

[@rp1guy]

Stone cold genius, simply put.. a phenomenon

[@mountainfolk]

A true American icon. A Bob Dylan for a new generation. He IS Batman lol. Great pics. thx

[@grandmotherproductions9380]

I've never said he had a bad voice at all but in this song it is beautiful

[@1stSaintsFan]

Ryan Adams is pure greatness, but the music he made during his Whiskeytown days is definitely some of my favorites of his expanding song catalog.

[@sybo7617]

I've listened to this many times. Its the sound that hooked me

[@Broblem12]

love the vocal interplay and the way the whole song is put together. Yes!

[@benparris6455]

This song got me through so much shit. Thanks Ryan and the great Whiskeytown, as they were. As I lay down beside her sleeping softly. My heart breaks

[@tjcarter3]

stonehenge pick at the end is sick. great song, pretty good slide show as well.

[@Kelter82]

So harmonious. the voices work really well together.

[@tailesill4]

@kittyflumpin exactly, "too achingly lovely to endure." I couldn't say it any better. The sad majesty of this song from someone so young at the time. I love so many of the other Whiskeytown songs, but this one is in a class of its own.

[@TheDavehole]

this belongs in a museum

[@1stSaintsFan]

Put the houses in a row On the streets we used to know And all the things out in the yard Beckoning there to and fro And if the money isn't right Can I be yours tonight? I've an easy heart And from the windows of your house Reflects back on yourself And it gets you wonderin' If it means anything And if the money isn't right Can I be yours tonight? I've had a pretty hard life I've had a pretty hard life for such an easy heart You move away when you're young They take away where you're from And all the things out in the trees Fall away into the breeze And if the money isn't right Can I be yours tonight? I've had a pretty hard life I've had a pretty hard life for such an easy heart Easy heart Easy heart Easy heart

[@petermacinnis8]

My favorite whiskeytown song

[@tailesill4]

i've said the same thing! there's something so solemn and magisterial about it. It's so sad but full of wonder and worship in a subtle way. perfect for a funeral!

[@verdellstrofuss6378]

Easy heaaaaaaart. Easy heaaaaaarts........ Ah, so great.

[@lavachebeadsman]

This will be played at my funeral.

[@chandrashekhermishra5847]

This will be played at my wedding.

[@samuelwalkingstick2949]

absolutely brilliant.

[@timbonoso]

Fantastic song from a tremendous talent!

[@DEACON006]

Underrated.

[@tomadams5582]

Love this stuff !!!!!!

[@Aimee2011100]

One Republic should never have been mentioned in the same sentence as Whiskeytown...seriously. Whiskeytown is amazing...Ryan Adams is amazing...end of story

[@txtodd70]

GREAT song, nice work on this too

[@galuf84]

north carolina needs ryan back...we miss you...you rock...i still have your smokes

[@SoyArcon]

[@michaelperry5775]

GREAT BAND, TO BAD IT'S OVER . BEST STUFF RYAN DID !

[@wlgj1341]

ben parris..very gratifying to associate so successfully along the lines one intends..

[@wlgj1341]

and then..the delivery equally if not more impactive..

[@thesevisions]

Brilliant

[@robertwoodward829]

EASY LISTEN; LOVE ANYTHING BY WHISKEYTOWN AND RYAN ADAMS..

[@kandyboston]

Uncle Tupelo, especially "Anodyne," Richard Buckner, Richmond Fontaine, Son Volt, John Hiatt, Elliot Smith, early Jackson Browne, The Gravel Pit all worth checking out!

[@laurenceburks1216]

Chill, Forest.

[@ileadams]

exelente

[@fluttershy4852]

Hello, I'm Fluttershy. i'm here to tell you this brief message. OneRepublic is just fine. I happen to like them and Whiskeytown at the same time! it's not possible right? well, it is. So anyway, to me, your comment sounded kind of rude. Maybe it's all in my head but to me it did. And so @KakkoiiNY, i'm proud of you for liking both bands. And you sir, to me are rude. That's all! have a good day! :)

[@KakkoiiNY]

Whiskeytown is the new OneRepublic.

[@jamiesongbook]

hahahahaha he looks awesome!

[@lentas08]

And now he is a Maesto!

[@houndogray]

When he was making Jacksonville City Nights album.

[@christopherloren1623]

goddamn. this song will always hit way to close. every woman I've had has had to go through this with me. I think I met my match in you Cassie!!!!! love u my beautiful Lil green eyed cutie!!!!

[@tookool4school]

thats really all there is to it

[@tookool4school]

Lol that was cute, no seriously he is the new bob dylan. hes AMAZINGGGGGGGG

[@Unumeoarecare]

Can somebody upload the song called paper moon from the same album (Pneumonia)? Thanks!

[@samvanmeter4]

Ryan and caitlin cary need to tour together again

[@moonpainter]

oh...my...word.

[@bouncing4souls]

[@WP8219]

fucking brilliant

[@dunkafelic]

check out Steve Earle if you don't already know him.

[@MrRondonmon]

Ryan and Caitlin are a perfect harmonic match. That bitch can sing her ass off, she gets no credit.

[@davidgabrielpeck]

@Jtspencer234 right?!

[@tommotd]

A tad of Jackson Browne sound in the vocals.

[@1foofighter606]

whats emu?

[@wlgj1341]

sciencetrumps..that isn't parsons he's channeling..not a channel at all: those are my lyrics and i'm older than graham and they were written probably before he wrote many:· investigate the provenance of the parsons/stones assoc. and where/when 'wild horses' arrived.?

[@1stSaintsFan]

@ugasdf ....Damn right...Stuff Mandy Moore in a trunk and get Caitlin back on stage with Ryan!!!

[@wlgj1341]

wondering how it comes to be my comments for "song for you' just preceeding this one are no longer there:: a completely serious chapter in the past life of graham parsons to have a song written around the time of his demise attributable to you and not released till post 2000 and having been written by a songwriter who had scarcely ever listened to you...ron belin= as iterate, strange these sentiments are being dismissed graphicall.y

[@ericmalone1947]

Ron Belin u a special flavor of crazy pumkin

[@KakkoiiNY]

i was obviously kidding. My point was: Whiskeytown IS a billion times better, & why do people listen to 1Repub when they could see this instead. It's called "irony" , something RA could appreciate

[@taurtue]

Well I wouldn't compare this to Bob Dylan, or I'd assume to be considered as a total neophyte in music.

[@embesher]

Whiskeytown was before One Republic, they sound nothing alike. Whiskeytown is better.

A girdle is a girdle is a girdle. You people don't know what you're doing to your innards. Either lose weight or accept that you'r happy being big✌😆
