Ryan Adams will continue his Pax-Am 7-inch series with Blue Light, due out March 31. Along with the title track, which Adams has been performing recently on his tour, the singer-songwriter will include two b-sides in the form of “On My Life” and “I Lost My Mind.”

On the title track, Adams said, “It all went down in an hour- band playing live to tape. Musically, this is such a cousin to “The Door” from Blackhole ( One day you will understand what that means- think Love is Hell/ More Mats ) Lyrically — that bleakness…I had this vision of New York city this guy in a busted pair of glasses walking between subway cars…people texting each other glued to their information machines. I fucking know I get lost in that shit.”

The story behind “On My Life” is a bit more personal to Adams, who says, “That’s a portrait of me maybe back in the early 2000’s on 2nd Avenue and A, having lived in a hotel that was once a children’s hospital for basically children with polio (ugh). I am CERTAIN it was haunted but by a sadness really that I cannot explain. Chris Farley died in that building.”

The final tune, “I Lost My Mind,” is derived from The Cure and, as Adams notes, “there’s nothing but 7-11 grease on this one, ladies and gentlemen. Shined up with the funk. Maybe a little dash of the creeps on the side too.”

Blue Light is available to pre-order via Adams’ own Pax-Am website.
