sitting in bed listening to one the many great Ryan Adams cd in my iTunes, i decided to look up the lyrics to my favorite ryan adams song/my all-time favorite song. i guess i never really payed a whole lot of attention to the lyrics (i was always just captivated by the excellent guitar solo). so yeah, i guess my favorite song of all time is about a woman taking her child and leaving her husband. guess i never realized that. is it depressing that my favorite song has such a dark theme? eh. should i feel dumb that i never realized this before? probably...
hands down, i would have to say that ryan adams is my favorite musician. love that guy.

i think it's funny that you never knew until now, but it's not bad to have dark favorite songs. for example, my two favorite wilco songs, "she's a jar" and "via chicago", are about domestic violence ("with feelings hid/ she begs me not to hit her") and suicide ("i dreamed about killing you again last night/ and it felt all right to me"). and you can't like elliott smith without liking depressing songs — even the most happy-sounding track on figure 8 has dark lyrics if you pay attention.
i know exactly what you mean about lyrics to favorite songs. i'm constantly in a search for lyrics to describe my day and every song melody that i think would work, does not. my favorite songs usually have lyrics dealing with being alone.
