"Nuclear" is a song by singer-songwriter Ryan Adams from his 2002 album Demolition, the only single from the album.[1]
The song was recorded during Adams' July 2001 sessions with the Pinkhearts in Nashville.[2]
In 2002, Adams spoke with CNN about the song: "I guess it's Britpop for Americans. I don't know what it is, really, but the lyrics are funny. There's actually a really funny line in it that says, 'I saw her and the Yankees lost to the Braves.' If you're from Atlanta, that's not a very nice thing to say. It's sort of referring to the fact that the Braves never win."[3] (The Atlanta Braves lost both the 1996 and 1999 World Series to the New York Yankees.[4])
Among the b-sides included on the various "Nuclear" singles are the non-album tracks "Blue" and "Song For Keith".[5] Adams co-wrote "Blue" with Julianna Raye, and the song comes from the 48 Hours sessions.[6] "Song For Keith" is a tribute to Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and was recorded during The Pinkhearts Sessions.[7]
