Oh well, the fancy embedded MP3 player didn’t work. You’ll just have to do it the old fashioned way and click the MP3 link for a high quality MP3 download (don’t tell anybody). If you like it, go buy a Ryan Adams CD.
This is the coolest song. The Rosebud allusion to Citizen Kane is obvious, but it’s a head fake. This Rosebud is actually one of Jerry Garcia’s custom electric guitars, on display at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland (”shipwrecked up on the Ohio, behind a wall of glass”).
The song is a tribute to Jerry Garcia, not just the lyrics, but also the style of the song and especially the electric guitar playing.
When I pick up my guitar
This is the song that always comes
Don’t know what I’m singing ’bout and
Don’t know what for
I think about you
And I think about Rosebud
Wish there was a song to sing
To bring you back
But you can’t get here from nowhere I guess
Rosebud’s shipwrecked up on the Ohio
Behind a wall of glass
Telling me to take care of myself
And my friends
You sing to a field of trees
And roses singing those melodies
Simple and easy where everything moves
Underneath you
And Rosebud too
I wish there was a song to sing
To get you back
But you can’t get here from nowhere I guess
Rosebud’s shipwrecked up on the Ohio
Behind a wall of glass
Telling me to take it easy
But I took a photograph
And she’s just a wooden machine
But you and Rosebud, you’re still singing to me
Nothing to do with Wiliams except that I know there were more than a few Eph Deadheads back in the day, who might appreciate some good music from a contemporary artist (not so easy to find!)

It was only a matter of time. What is next the Kane Mutiny - strawberries?

Well, I’ll supply the musical accompaniment and, if this embedded mp3 player works, a story:
Ryan Adams & the Cardinals
Rosebud
