"Desire" is a song by Ryan Adams from his 2002 album Demolition. The song, at the length of 3:41, was not released as a single from the album. It originally attracted little attention, and even though the review site Music Box described it as crossing "U2 with Bob Dylan",[1] several major reviews – like Rolling Stone and The A.V. Club – did not even mention the song.[2][3]
