Afraid Not Scared

This song blew me away the first time I heard it, and it never ceases to whenever I listen to it. Ryan's music just keeps getting better and better.

wow

ryan poured so much emotion into this song, but he does the same for all his music. i love him.

i get so worked up to this song. it makes me think of all the injustice ands tupidity and hurting in the world and i start going ape shit.l its good for before sport but i start listening to it on my i-pod and suddenly i'm starting fights and throwing shit around. its a big think when music gets my so riled up. the only other songs that make me get so damn indignant and upset are anema (tool) passive (apc) and dead drunks (deloris)

His music is hautingly beautiful even the more country stylings of whiskeytown have a haunting, yearning quality i love ryan adams i want to cook dinner for him

I love the part where the guns turn into vodka. It's an almost unbearably sad song, but that metaphor is so strange it somehow makes me smile.

i know it has such deep meaning, but every time i hear it I just think of the movie Titanic, lol... :)

"I'm getting really cold and I'm looking at you You're not moving."

Yeah, I got the same idea about Titanic too. But I have a feeling the drowning and sinking is more of a metaphorical falling apart.

Isn't this about his then girlfriend dying of lung cancer? And it reminds you assholes of Titanic...ffs

I think this song is about telling someone how you truly feel about them - you're not afraid to talk to them or release your feelings but your scared about the future when they give you that look saying "I don't see you like that/I don't want ot be with you. They're shocked and even by them not moving or responding you know you've lost them from that empty gaze.
