Adams, Ryan - Kim Lyrics






I can't sleep, can't go home
Underneath the branches of a sycamore tree
On a darkened road
With this key, scratched into the wall
I spell out your name
It's fucking with my head
Fucking with my heart

As the autumn leaves begin to fall
Walking down the street
Where you and I would walk
I see him, kim, kim, kim, kim

I can't sleep, can't let go
Underneath my feet it's miles
Nothing, there's nowhere to go
With this key, scratched into my arm
I spell out your name, it's ringing in my head
Like a false alarm

As the autumn leaves begin to fall and grey
Walking down the street
I watched you walk away
To be with him, kim, kim, kim, kim
Oh kim!

Like I never seen
Walking down the streets
We'll never walk again
Kim, kim, kim, kim
Oh kim!

  8. C.... D....

    Does anyone ever know what he's talking about ?

    C.... D....

    It's about him losing the girl, regretting it and his heart is gutted in the most sonically beautiful way

    C.... D....

    being betrayed by a girlfriend concerns Ryan Adams' first love. "It is about we that are left home (Jacksonville, North Carolina) for good, to go and get away from my parents and go be a musician," he told The Sun.

    "I knew that this girl that I loved so much was seeing my former best friend and I had to go," he continued. "I don't think they knew I saw them together although she is a friend of mine now."

    C.... D....

    Kim used to be his best friend

    I’m inspired to pick up my guitar. Feels like a Replacements tune.

  17. R.... S....

    Damn, Ryan was skinnier here :P

  18. V.... S....

    I can't sleep, can't go home
    Underneath the branches of a sycamore tree

    On a darkened road

    With this key, scratched into the wall

    I spell out your name, it's fucking with my head

    Fucking with my heart

    As the autumn leaves begin to fall

    Walking down the street where you and I would walk

    I see him

    Kim, Kim, Kim

    I can't sleep, can't let go

    Underneath my feet it's miles

    Nothing, there's nowhere to go

    With this key, scratched into my arm

    I spell out your name, it's ringing in my head

    Like a false alarm

    As the leaves begin to fall and grey

    Walking down the street I watched you walk away

    To be with him

    Kim, Kim, Kim

    Oh Kim!

    Like a crater, like I've never seen

    Walking down the streets we'll never walk again

    Kim, Kim, Kim, Kim

    Oh Kim!

    I can't sleep, I can't let go...

  20. O.... S....

    i miss whiskeytown

  21. A.... C....

    1:32 He's crying. The man is a raw genius.

  22. k.... ....

    To be fair Ryan started a bit early with "kim" before the drum part and confused him... And I loved it anyway; people really like to argue over stupid things.

  23. C.... W....

    The blip sounds cool, who cares? At the start of born to run on record the drummer goes off around the 5 second mark and it sounds fucking ace

  24. r.... ....

    All the feels

  25. V.... C....

    I wish he'd grow his hair out like LONG long.

  26. D.... B....

    1:10 F'ing drummer is really late on the beat. WTF?!?!

  27. T.... A....

    No one's off really, if anything its a fraction of a beat, like way back in the pocket, I think it feels more off because the first hit wasn't with more confidence. That's a little bit of a tricky timed sequence anyways.

  28. a.... r....

    all of you nerds talking shit about the drummer. guitar at 2:28. way worse. waaaay. Ryan adams, get the cardinals back.

    a.... r....

    Bending strings is really difficult with a capo on. The solo would be played without a capo in the studio.

    a.... r....

    alan reddan seriously. what the fuck was that? that little drum "hiccup" wasn't distracting, and it certainly didn't make me stop watching. that shitty guitar solo, on the other hand...woof

  29. O.... ....

    I rather have a little miss beat to remind my that rock stars also mess up and that I'm not watching a Fake performance..
    But that's just me there's a lot of perfect people out there now days..

    O.... ....

    It's ok. But I think you mean Little "Mister" Perfect who reminds you.... (Andrew Gallagher) Unless you are the type of misogynist who thinks men should be insulted by being called a woman. Also, Andrew is correct. The drummer isn't just late; he's off for so long and so often, it's unsettling.

  30. T.... ....

    DRUMMER : "The Tempo Is Whatever I Say It Is" :)

    T.... ....

    I think you mean Ryan. Count along with his meter before Freddie comes in, it's all over the place and since he starts the song it's his to screw up. Great song regardless and at least they weren't playing to tracks.

  31. S.... r....

    wow, was really hoping this would be a sick af eminem cover but i was sorely mistaken :o

    S.... r....

    but this dude's hair is pretty good, so i guess i'm not *that* pissed

    S.... r....

    Ok. Byyyyyyee!

  32. J.... S....

    Badass song. Don't pick it apart. It's good shit,!!! We get it , you can play too. But they are on stage.

  33. t.... s....

    weyland yutani and OCP patches lol

  34. d.... ....

    Shit happens and I too have fucked up, just for the record... xxx

  35. d.... ....

    Love Ryan but guitarist and drummer fucked up on this song but been ok since I feel ...

    d.... ....

    Guitarrist fucked up, bad solo.

  36. s.... s....

  37. L.... R....

    why is everyone talking about the fail of the drummer? I haven't noticed anything xD

  38. L.... ....

    it really is ryan. Drummer's counting on his leg all the time, and then the guitar comes in a tad late, trying to compensate and subsequently missinge the 2

  39. G.... K....

    What a song!!!

  40. l.... ....

    This band makes me miss the Cardinals.....

    l.... ....

    I know this song is so circa 2008 to me. i picture Neal playing on this.

  41. M.... L....

    Freddie Bokkenheuser is an outstanding and soulful professional drummer. Period.

  42. R.... M....

    sounds like the replacements. also cool alternative tentacles shirt

  43. E.... T....

    Apparently the drummer is from Copenhagen. I suspect he is a great guy and fun on tour!

    E.... T....

    He is :). I think so too, Ryan seems to really enjoy the company of the Shining. They all seem like pretty mellow down to earth dudes like Ryan himself (at this point of his life at least.)

    E.... T....

    Mike Viola is a fantastic musician...guitar player....

  44. T.... S....

    It's hard to tell who is responsible for the small hiccup but honestly we're talking a few seconds lol. It really doesn't mean a thing considering how amazing the overall performance is. I agree that this is one of the best performances of 'Kim' that they've done.

    T.... S....

    Ryan Adams trouble cover

  45. J.... S....

    The hiccup was on Ry. Unusual for him. The drummer tries to pick up and cover it, hence the drums sounding off.

    J.... S....

    Not hard to notice... count along and wait for it, 1, 2, 3, 4...

    J.... S....

    Yeah, Ryan's meter is all over the place. You can see Freddie tapping out triplets on his leg trying to figure out which of the tempos he is going to come in at then Ry jumps in early with the guitar to boot.

  46. A.... M....

    My favorite preformance of this song. The solo guitar playing is so pleasing, and the tone on Ryan's guitar sounds amazing. A+

  47. c.... ....

    Music move me.Hes so good.

  48. w.... s....

    kinda think its funny the comments below as to the drummer missing up which by the way is barely noticeable and adds to the charm of live performance AND NO KNOW DOES LIVE LIKE RYAN, he and his band are great, one of the few current artist who can really pull off great live shows, RATW is correct as well Ryan is a very loose undisciplined player and his band all know that, its ART

    w.... s....

    "one of the few current artist who can really pull off great live shows"

    It's funny how often I see a similar comment on many of my favourite artists videos.
    Either I just happen to pick good bands or there actually a lot of bands are really good live.

    w.... s....

    Mike Viola and The Shining are some tight musicians..especially Mike....Hes (Ryan Adams) got to be a "handful" to play with in a band.

    w.... s....

    The drummer thing is barely noticeable and quickly corrected but that guitar solo by the 2nd git player is uhh.....lets just say not on the Neal Casal level.

    w.... s....

    Exactly

  49. R.... ....

    To be fair, it's not the drummer. Ryan - unusually - jumps the gun but the drummer first hit comes in as if he didn't, and he then adjusts realising he's now behind.

    R.... ....

    I counted the beats, and it sounds like the drummer to me. Not Ryan at all.

    R.... ....

    Agree with RATW, i think the drummer would've been better off sticking to the count. He tried to save Ryan but made it sound worse. Ryan came in with 'kim' too soon. The drummer was REALLY close to the count though, so more on DRA than the drummer, in my amateur opinion...

  50. R.... G....

    No big deal! human after all!

    R.... G....

    One job.

  51. j.... ....

    I saw Ryan and the shinning twice in London last year and the drummer was brilliant at both gigs. Although in the second gig they all sounded better together the 2nd time!

  52. d.... ....

    Great drummer just fucked up it happens

  53. A.... G....

    Ryan Adams pleeeaase get a new drummer
