Musical Thesis: Ryan Adams "Ryan Adams"
At the center of every album is a thesis. For Ryan Adam's self titled album heartbreak, finding strength to move forward and evolution are at the center. As an art form and a consumer of art, the thesis is applied when it finds a way into our own lives. For me, this album couldn't have come at a better time. It served as a backdrop to the pain of losing someone I love. In it, I discovered my heartache does not belong to me alone. In it, I found the strength to rise above and the power within myself, friends and family to persevere. In it, I discovered evolution and the ability to embrace the new normal. When music is good, it inspires you. When music is great, it has the power to make things change. This album did that for me.
Thanks for entering my world,
