Ryan Adams - Shadowlands Lyrics
God, please bring the rain
Yeah, and bring it soon
Let it flood right through the houses
Into Judy's room
Her mother hides the pearls
Reach out into the darkness
And find my little girl
'Cause she's angry like a salesman
That couldn't make a sale
Threw her wedding ring in the sewer
And damned them all to hell
Please lead her to the mountain
While the roaches climb the walls
From the hotel where he calls
Most people never find a love
Most people never find a love
Sometimes you just can be a man
Sometimes you just can be a man
When your living in the darkness
Of the shadowlands
The shadowlands
The shadowlands

Ryan Adams Shadowlands Comments
When is this guy gonna write some songs?
i hope this is going to be the anthem on my funeral
3:20 - 5:20 So beautiful.
I didn't think ANY Ryan Adams' song could top "Come Pick Me Up", but this song may actually give it a run for its money. Wow.
dont know why but when im in a depression this song helps so much. I do see a light at the end of a dark tunnel .......

Ok it WAS sunny when Leona was there
What was over ?
Beautiful bleakness like Joy Division before him. Totally nails it.
Sunday night feeling depressed and this is my jam
Outro is a straight up Miller-Boyett Production. Think "Step By Step" and "Family Matters" credit scroll.
"And the little prince said to the man, grown ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always explaining things to them"
New to this kind of music - absolutely in love with this song.
Anyone got any recommendations for songs similar to this i.e. very slow buildup and then a great outro? Could listen to it for days.
One Tree Hill
I was lifted out of the shadowlands by The Great I am.
thank Daddy in heaven.
i seem to need to listen to this a lot
Best guitar solo ever. Please play this song, when i cross over the river.
saddest song in the world
Yep along with Peter Gabriel's Wallflower
Also prague from damien rice. But this one is probably sadder than damien rice's though.
Study shows that 7 out of 387 people don't have a soul...
"Did I listen to pop music because I was depressed, or did pop music make me depressed..." -John Cusack, High Fidelity. Shadowlands starts out in the shadows and pain and finishes with an exit that is pure light... Listen to Eric Clapton's "Layla" or Roxy Music's "Over You" and you'll find the same structure... existential pain followed by an elegant melodic exit.
beautifully put
When those strings creep in...
Agreed but it's the tone of the electric guitar that really brings the soul to life. Absolutely amazing outro
Ryan Adams =Brilliance Bravo!
Most all around artist of all time .
Hardly know. ..pitty
Rap sucks
God damn...
Thanks one tree hill
This song rips into my soul.
mine too.
This song starts off like a cold wet grey day. At about the 2:45 mark, the clouds start to break, slowly revealing a most beautiful blue sky with a big bright yellow warm sun. Feels soooo good.
Try it when youre high, a sense of elation
Except the initial lyrics contradict the picture you're trying to paint, so...
You're an XTC fan AND a Ryan Adams fan! Same! Awesome
samuél Same here. Genius music.
one of the best song outros ever.
I absolutely LOVE the guitar solo towards the end. It's exactly the climax that this song needed; any more would have been overkill. So wonderful and moving in its simplicity.
One Tree Hill brouht me here!!!
Godlike
@ecu06102 shallow
who the fuck can dislike this!!! show yourselfs!!!!!!!!!
I get carried by a breath of wonderment when this song fills me, the guitar incites a sense of freedom that words would fall short of capturing...
sitting here broken-hearted crying my eyes out about my impending divorce....then, found this song....`God please bring the rains......'
still one of my favorites
beeeejootyfooooooolllll !!!!!!
First Ryan Adams song I heard and still one of my favourites
thanks to my sister for showing me him in this song.
@antifafubel consider it on vinyl (7 inch). It's waaaaaaay better. Buy a few bottles of wine and crank up the stereo w/ the 7 inch and let the night roll away..
what flid dislikes this??????
Love this song so much. You are a genius Mr Adams.
just amazing !
I just can't describe what I feel each time I listen this song. It's so.. beautiful. As someone said before.. it makes me go out to do something different & change my life.
This song makes my ovaries explode.
What does that comment even mean?
one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
@antifafubel wanger
NOTE the quality increase at 2:39
Sometimes you just can be a man! Probably my favorite Ryan Adams song.
it's a while ago that i bought a cd, but I just ordered this online. Pff, can't wait to get it. <3
Amazing song, everything from the lyrics to the keys to the solo pulls at strings
I love how the repeating last phrase comes gradually from that radio reverb voice to a more clean and close voice, giving emphasis to that sentence, becoming an incredible arrange for a simply beautiful song. Close to perfection.
Love the way it goes from a melancolic ballad to a nice, guitarsolo at the end!
I see dark at night. I also see flourescent light, reading light (angry, distracted reader), tv light, outdoor light (cigarettes). I agree, I see turquoise and purple (bruises, pearles, the glow from tv at night). Everyone is home. A bit chaotic, but also routine.
He idolizes her but cannot relate (roaches) and feels sorry. She lives where he cannot go and they are from different worlds.
amazing song, story, and progression
@seabiscuitcamas94
forgot to say in a city. an abandoned one. probably has something to do with the lyrics, but it's "looked" that way from the moment I heard the first three notes of the piano. That set the mood. From there, sunset. Like something is almost over. Old age, ending, sadness. That's what the sound conveys to me, and that might be why I see "sunset" in lonely darkness colors.
@seabiscuitcamas94
I see completely different colors. I see dark with the color of sunlight beams coming in into a somber valley. Like at sunset. The voice alternates between pale gold and silver for me.
The build up and guitar solo sound a lot like something I heard on a tape from Vinyard once (a Christian worship music maker type group). Swear to god, it sounded so much like this song.
Music doesn't get any more beautiful than this. And that is definitely my favourite guitar solo ever. Just too good.
lovely song, and awesome guitar solo <3
Every time I listen to this song it fills me with happiness. I know that's weird but when I hear the guitar kick in I start smiling. I love this song.
Beautiful <3
Possibly the best guitar solo EVER!
so simple. so extraordinary. This should be the life. thanks ryan for this.
I'm crying while i'm writing this, just can't hold the tears when i hear this song...
It doesn't matter how bad a mood I am in, the guitar work in this song always cheers me up.
Sweet perfection!
haunting
@09cheyo He's actually had hearing loss from performing so now he's writing books.
