If I was a sunset, I'd want to lay on your bed And watch the Hollywood lights flicker as it started to dim If I was a movie, you know I'd feel pretty good I'd watch you dancing all night in the dark where I stood I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you You don't think about me Miss Sunflower Blue She's got the brown eyes, yeah, and they're pretty as hell And they'll burn through your shirt if you're holding her still She's got a lighter, and a lit cigarette And if you're making her smile, that's just as high as you can get I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you You don't think about me Miss Sunflower Blue I'm still out on Sunset in a taxicab I'm still at the movies, and I'm holding your hand Still at an overpass view looking out at the lights Still on an airplane, and I'm starting to cry I don't think about you If I was the evening, you know I'd send you a breeze I'd let it whisper in your ear, kiss you and sing you to sleep If I wasn't so screwed up, maybe all the words might have come But I think the needing just took everything they wanted was sung I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you You don't think about me Miss Sunflower Blue
For me, best love song of the modern era. The writer’s pain is so palpable, it actually makes my chest hurt. That’s quite a feat bearing in mind the thousands of songs out there that mostly only deliver a 3minute buzz. There is something eternal about this though, made all the more poignant by Ryan’s magical delivery of the words. Could write a dissertation on this song .
@erin lane - how strange I was about to listen to this song! And if you love it as much as I do, then we’re kindred spirits. Imagine for a second being the person this was written for - what an awesome tribute 💕I would die happy. Ha!
@@bw5785 Aww, I love that. Thank you. I am new to his music and never had songs reach into my soul like this. Probably sounds weird I suppose, can’t really explain it. Discovering all his music has gotten me thru a tough few months this year.
Simply beautiful -I adore this part of the song - If I was the evening, you know I'd send you a breeze I'd let it whisper in your ear, kiss you and sing you to sleep If I wasn't so screwed up, maybe all the words might have come But I think the needing just took everything they wanted was sung ....
I saw him live recently on the Ashes tour. Unfortunately up in a balcony far away from him, somehow still felt like i was directly in front of him listening. Hes one of those few artists whether your seeing him play or just listening on youtube, he can really bring you into the songs and make you feel what he felt at the time. I think that even without hearing it, he understands what hes done for people like me and you. Just agreeing with your comment! hes an awesome dude
If I was a sunset, I'd want to lay on your bed, And watch the Hollywood lights flicker as it started to dim. If I was a movie, you know I'd feel pretty good. I'd watch you dancing all night in the dark where I stood. I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you You don't think about me Miss Sunflower Blue She's got the brown eyes, yeah, and they're pretty as hell And they'll burn through your shirt if you're holding her still She's got a lighter, and a lit cigarette And if you're making her smile, that's just as high as you can get I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you You don't think about me Miss Sunflower Blue I'm still out on Sunset in a taxicab I'm still at the movies, and I'm holding your hand Still at an overpass view looking out at the lights Still on an airplane, and I'm starting to cry I don't think about you If I was the evening, you know I'd send you a breeze I'd let it whisper in your ear, kiss you and sing you to sleep If I wasn't so screwed up, maybe all the words might have come But I think the needing just took everything they wanted was sung I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you You don't think about me Miss Sunflower Blue
If I was the evening, you know I'd send you a breeze I'd let it whisper in your ear, kiss you and sing you to sleep If I wasn't so screwed up, maybe all the words might have come But I think the needing just took everything they wanted was sung ~~~~ love love love that
Thanks so much for posting this, i heard it on your channel first, loved it and try to learn it. I've been a long time fan, he knows exactly what I like to hear, Idk how he does it.
Alex Carlson Respectfully disagree. He's one of the best songwriters in the last 20 or so years. Just listen to the Cold Roses album, or Stranger's Almanac (Whiskeytown) or Gold or Ashes & Fire. The list goes on. C'mon!!
