dream verbs

I started paying attention to Ryan Adams some time ago because E and G like him so much, so I was listening over the Thanksgiving weekend to his new album 29,  streaming on Scenestars for the last several days. There is something quite haunting about "Strawberry Wine", a beautiful melody in a sort of singsong style, a long and unusually visual song, full of images of jumping and falling, the verbs of dreams. It gives me a feeling I remember distantly from childhood - hearing voices telling stories, feeling safe in the dark.
