Ja, zweimal gehört und schon setzt sich der Song unfehlbar in die Gehörgänge.
Großartig, Ryan Adams Gesang: so kotzt sich jemand aus, der durch eine tiefe Krise geht. Somit erinnert der Gesang an Jeff Buckley oder gar Tom Waits in deren besten Momenten).
Vom Text her stimmt der Song überaus nachdenklich. Es geht um das Ausbrennen, das Verblühen von Lebensenergie, die sich schließlich in Todessehnsucht verwandelt, die nur noch einen kleinen Schubser braucht, um … na ja, Selbstmord eben...
Ryan Adams Rat - denn der Song scheint ein sehr einfühlsamer Brief zu sein, an jemanden, der Ryan sehr nahe steht - lautet:
Sieh zu, dass du jemand findest, den du in diesem Moment in der Luft zerfetzen kannst:
"When you get the time
Sit down and write me a letter
When you're feeling better drop me a line
I wanna know how it all works out
I had a feeling we were fading out
I didn't know that people faded out so fast
That people faded out
When there was love enough left to fix it
But there it is
There it is - we are only one push from the nest
There it is - we are only one argument from death
There it is - the sun rises, but the sun also sets
The sun sets, the sun also sets
When you get these feelings next time, next time
Oh, be sure you're gonna tear someone apart
I wanna know how it all works out
I had a feeling we were fading out
I didn't know that people faded out
That we faded out so fast
I wanna show you what I got inside
But you know those parts of me died just like that,
They faded out, they faded out so fast
And there was love enough left to fix it
But there it is
There it is – we are only one shove from the nest
There it is - we are only one argument from death
There it is - we are only one moment from death
There it is - we are only one push from the nest
There it is, there it is, there it is – we are only one push from the nest
There it is - we are only one moment from death
There it is - the sun rises, but the sun also sets
The sun sets, the sun also sets
Die unglaubliche Verzweiflung berührt mich tief.
Leute! - Das ist ganz, ganz großes Kino.
