Not to be confused with my other favorite Bryan Adams, Ryan Adams is a country and rock and roll singer/songwriter. I haven’t heard of him or his music until one of his songs was featured in the first season of Alias (yeah I know, Alias has given me a wonderful selection of tunes to post on this blog).

Admittedly, Ryan’s music did not quite appeal to me. However, the song I’m featuring in this post, called La Cienega Just Smiled, is an exception. When I heard it on Alias, it immediately caught my ears due to its beautiful laid-back and easy-listening nature. It’s a song to kickback and relax to. I hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics

Oh the night, here it comes again
It’s on with the jeans, the jacket and the shirt
How’d I end up feeling so bad
For such a little girl
And I hold you close in the back of my mind
Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt
And I’m too scared to know how I feel about you now

La Cienega just smiled
See ya around

And I hold you close in the back of my mind
Raise my glass ’cause either way I’m dead
Neither of you really help me to sleep anymore
One breaks my body and the other breaks my soul

La Cienega just smiles
As it waves goodbye

Oh the night, here it comes again
It’s off with the jeans, the jacket, and the shirt
How’d I end up feeling so bad
For such a little girl
And I hold you close in the back of my mind
Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt
And I’m too scared to know how I feel about you now
How I feel about you now

La Cienega just smiles
And says "I’ll see you around"
