I taught myself to grow old

Ancora la voce assassina di Ryan Adams...questo forse è il più bel pezzo di "Easy Tiger", l'ultimo album; il testo si commenta da solo:

Poor little rose, beaten by the rain
In the wind in the gale, thunder and the hail
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane
Without the numbness or the pain so intense to feel
Especially now it added up through the years
And I, I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
Now I'm crooked on the outside, and the inside's broke

Most of the time I got nothing to say
When I do it's nothing and nobody's there to listen anyway
I know I'm probably better off this way
I just listen to the voices on the TV 'til I'm tired
My eyes grow heavy and I fade away

'Cause I, I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
'Til I was crooked on the outside
I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
'Til I was crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
I taught myself how to grow old

L'armonica è un po' meno incisiva ma comunque bella; aggiungo qualche link a esibizioni live su youtube:

E mi viene un'idea: ho visto sul suo sito le date del tour europeo, ovviamente non arriverà in Italia...a novembre mi organizzo una mini vacanza da qualche parte, che so, Berlino o Amsterdam, e vado al suo concerto.

Rigorosamente da solo, ovvio.
