Episode 58 Preview - To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)

Even though she's been our special guest more than anyone else, poor Diana Parry-Cruwys has only gotten to pick one song all on her own.  Well, we're making up for it by talking about Ryan Adams' "To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)" this week.  Diana then fell asleep before we could record and I forgot to post the preview blurb...so we're going to be a little late this week.  Please don't think this reflect poorly on how much I appreciate my wife's taste in music.

You can buy this alt-country ditty on iTunes, Amazon Music (free with Prime!), or Google Play.

No official video, but I did find this bootleg, live version on YouTube which I liked for reasons that I'll get into on the show.  Man, phone cameras have come a long way since I still had time for concerts.

And, for your literati out there, the lyrics:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)"

Young boy you done me bad I went and did ya wrong 
Young boy you done me bad I went and did ya wrong 
Then I got high Lord I got high and I got a bone to pick with you 

And I'm sure you know its true 

Oh one day when you're looking back 
You were young and man you were sad 
When you're young you get sad 
When your young you get sad then you get high 

Oh man 
Young gal you done me bad and I went and did ya wrong 
Young gal you done me bad so I went and did ya wrong 
Then I got high 
Lord I got high 

Now you got a bone to pick with me but I wish you'd let me be 
Oh one day when you're looking back 
You were young and man you were sad 
When you're young you get sad 
When your young you get sad then you get high 

You get high 
Oh the days the rain would fall your way 
Oh the days the rain would fall your way 
Then you be high cause you got sad 
Cause you got sad 

Oh man

So, listen, watch, read, and join us on Wednesday + 1 (i.e.,Thursday) for the discussion.
