i know im kinda late but i wanted to say that it sounds a lot like crazier by taylor swift just a bit slower

Guilty.

It's not like Ryan is old, he is 46,he is super young, not a teen, but young indeed, I'm 22, and i sometimes prefer the Ryan covers than the original songs, also my mom is 47 and she knows nothing about Ryan's existance, but she loves Taylor swift, so i don't think the age or the generation matter that much. 🤷🏻‍♀️ P. S. I love them both Taylor and Ryan, great and amazing singers, talented AF. ✨

Certainly did that for me.

It’s her cover of his arrangements of my lyrics

Truth. I agree with coolbae1998. ALSO- As a long lifetime Ryan Adams fan, after him covering 1989, I also became a Taylor Swift fan…not as much as RA, though enough to respect her music and listen to what she releases. 😊😊😊

+Michelle Liem If you think so you do really need to go listen to the acoustic version Taylor Swift performed at Grammy Museum You'll know it's her song for sure

Ryan evokes that drama and release by using a technique the Italians developed called increasing. The song gradually gets louder providing tension in the listeners mind. First the writer has to set you up for the crescendo, which she or he did perfectly. That's the songs first half. Then a pause then the crecsendo to provide drama and finally, as if your sighing in relief a dininuendo. Its an Opera technique, but Tchaikovsky being such a bad ass for his days used it a lot. Well done Taylor or Ryan.

That's what Ryan does best. Makes his fans cry. I love his work for that.

TRUTH!!! To all those who are in loving relationships with people who are lactose intolerant.

+Royston Aranha Thank you! I feel the same way. I was actually feeling a little bad about the dislike the original is getting on this page. I absolutely love the original's sense of urgency. This version is definitely wonderful, and one of my favourites from this cover album, but it's more like he's so deep in the woods and completely lost and desperate. Tay's is more urgent and fits in with the whole 'I REMEMBER thinking', whilst this isn't remembrance. Anyway, both are fantastic.

ibliveinme​ Thank you. If you have already taken a shot at RAs 1989 the difference you'll see is in the production.. I really loved the bad blood cover he did which I felt TS could have adopted his production n arrangements but agn felt RA couldn't add the hatred while singing the words bad blood. I like his style of Shake it off n the original one too. Both r the winners for me.

+Royston Aranha Same with Blank space. When Taylor sang 'got a long- list of ex lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane' she sounds so bitingly sarcastic and mocking. I loved it. Adams makes it sound sad, as if he's genuinely apologetic about hid insanity. I love both though. :)

i like the original better :/ can't explain why. But the bridge part "you were looking at me" always takes my breath away.

+Alex Bray mine too, oh god !!

+javiera vasquez "i like imagine"

+agun wiriadisasra Until you mentioned John Mayer, I thought you actually had good taste in music. Yuck!

Melanie Hill​ Have you ever listened his first three album or John Mayer Trio?

Just because John has history with Taylor doesn't mean he's a bad musician. He's an incredible artist and guitarist.

+star crossed You are right about Mayer and I sure as hell wouldn't let him date my daughter. lol Came her because I am a RA fan.

+agun wiriadisasra Dude, John Mayer sucks ass haha

+Sargoss Golek Jesus Christ

u may call me Mr Golek.

Sargoss Golek "the depth of taylor swift's songs?" do you hear yourself?

Tommaso Silvestro when the wise man points at the moon, the fool looks at his finger....

Ellipsis come in three, just so you know next time. And T.S.'s lyrics are pretty much as deep as a puddle of mud can be, when it hasn't been raining for a month. I suppose she just taps into that shallow and semplicistic emotional architecture that ordinary people can easily relate to (probably because she is one of them) ; it just bothers the f*ck out of me that people like you refer to this load of nonsense as an "abyss of longing and awful despair" and to her as a "genius" or like elsewhere stated "the greatest songwriter of our generation". When I read such things I struggle to keep my head from falling off my neck from laughing. Go listen to some Tom Waits or PJ Harvey or Radiohead and see how insignificant and absolutely uncomplicated her lyrics are.

+Mike Echlin The song is well written, but as in the case of pop music, the delivery is shit. Ryan Adams is singing Taylor Swft's songs how they should have been sung to begin with.

both in context, melodic composition, instrumentation and the artists delivery

@@huskysvideoarchive2256 you're kidding right?

???? This is just the same notes played over and over again and his voice could not be blander. I respect your opinion, but it baffles me how anybody could possibly think this is better than the original

Colossal Blur

Love is hell is my favourite but this is a close 2nd! I thought the other day......imagine if Taylor covered the "Prisoner" album?

Fan since 2001 Gold here 🙋🏻 As strange as it feels to say, this TS cover album is still one of my favorites of his. Every song is perfectly done. But one of his more recent albums, Romeo & Juliet, is really climbing the ranks. "At Home With the Animals" may be my favorite song he's ever written. Just thought I'd throw that out there! Check it out if ya haven't already.

Plus Ryan’s suffered and weaves his pain into these versions that really put a different edge to them.

+Aprillis29 Gives me hope for humanity that people still listen to The Smiths

+Reverend Felcher I do.

+Aprillis29 You have good ears, before anything was released Ryan said he had recorded the album in the 'style' of The Smiths.

+Aprillis29 yep, "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want". Nice

Ryan is a big fan of Morrissey so that makes sense

I wholeheartedly agree
