****** 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.
