because he needs her just like he needs medicine

I really like Ryan Adams. He's written some of my favorite records and favorite songs. So here's the track list to a mixtape I made a long time ago, maybe even last year. By no means is this a best of, or even my favorite songs. But this is what made the cd that always helps me remember there's still hope after heartbreak.

1. Oh My God, Whatever, Etc. (from Easy Tiger)
2. When Will You Come Back Home? (from Cold Roses)
3. So Alive (from Rock N Roll)
4. Rock N Roll (from Rock N Roll)
5. Wild Flowers (from Gold)
6. Always On My Mind (a b-side, and even though this is a cover, I think it's a dang good song)
7. The Hardest Part (from Jacksonville City Nights)
8. Oh My Sweet Carolina (from Heartbreaker)
9. This House Is Not for Sale (from Love is Hell)
10. Political Scientist (from Love is Hell)
11. In My Time of Need (from Heartbreaker)
12. Come Pick Me Up (from Heartbreaker)
13. I See Monsters (from Love is Hell)
14. Call Me on Your Way Back Home (from Heartbreaker)
15. The Fools We Are As Men (a b-side, from the Gold sessions, I believe)
16. Starlite Diner (from 29)
17. How Do You Keep Love Alive? (from Cold Roses)
18. The Shadowlands (from Love is Hell)
19. Elizabeth, You Were Born To Play That Part (from 29)

I really like heartbreak songs and bittersweet love songs. So that may be why I picked these out of his discography. I haven't had a chance to listen to the new Cardinals record yet, but that's something I plan to do soon.

I'm so epically broke. Money's gonna be really tight for the next few months, and possibly for the foreseeable future. I've got this feeling of unrest, but that may just be because of money. Will you say to me, a little rain's gonna come, when the sky can't offer none to me?
