    disc.

    **If anyone remembers the story behind Adam relearning this song, I'm the person who had the "only" recording and went to a show in San Francisco and gave a copy to Graham Colton (he opened for them and I stuck around in the lobby when the show ended to see if I could run into anyone who could pass it along). Graham gave it to Adam and said, "We were just talking about this song!" I said, "I know! I've been the one online in the chatroom or whatever it was talking about it. I sat down and HAND WROTE all of these darn lyrics to post online to 'prove' I had a copy*****

    It's August 2020. I really wish it was August 1993 again.

    Don't ever fall in love with a girl named Maria then lose her. You won't be able to listen to Counting Crows the same again.

    in my opinion, i think that Counting Crows should include this on their very last album as the very last song...a perfect ending

    The sheer emotion and power of this song is truly amazing - we're getting older and older and older but always a little further out of the way. Im now 38 now and I first listened to Counting Crows 24 years ago. They have been with me throughout my entire life and every album and song I can recount periods of my life. After 24 years I still get the same feeling that I first felt when I heard Round here. Thank you Adam Duritz for creating the soundtrack of my life as Im sure many others have experienced the same.

    My gosh. So many years later. Finding this again on August 1st 2024. My heart.

    I first head this rare song on Amazon Music. It sounds like corporate piracy. This tune is a lyrical powerhouse. I think Adam should compile this in a CC album of alternate ballads, anthems, and love songs. Thanks Adam. My cousin Brian Sullivan with his wife Jenn has met you a few times in random bars.

    This is my favorite song by my favorite band. It's just.. Perfect, and priceless, and contains a little bit that has just resonated differently, sort of iridescently, in the almost 2 decades since the first time I heard it. I still remember the first time, on headphones in my school's computer lab, hiding under the desk crying by the third subsequent repeat, which, yeah, I have some mental health problems, but it really was that intense and magical. "Well, I hope you weren't expecting me to be crucified. The best that they can do is just hang me from the nearest tree." I mean, the whole thing, but especially that part.

    I played this to my 19 year old son who has grown up listening to the CC"s. His comment after hearing was why have I never heard this one before.

    I am not surprised by the brilliance. After my daughter was in a near fatal car wreck back in 2009, she lie in a coma for 6 days. The prognosis was not good. I brought a portable cd player into the room full of machines and wires and monitors, and with tears in my eyes I placed her copy of August And Everything After in the player and pressed play. Less than a minute later her mouth began to move and she was mouthing the words. It was a moment I will never forget. On my way to Guilford, NH today. CC and LIVE.

    This might be Adam Duritz's finest song. A raw, haunting masterpiece.

    My Mother loved Adam Duritz's album--I got her the cassette for her thirty-fifth birthday. Playing the album AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER is cathartic as each year passes--as I get older, I listen to the album myself. When I was a disc jockey at the college radio station, I played a Counting Crows song for every show I had--as I owned his other music, I fell in love with AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER album--every now and again, playing "A Murder of One" was the right song to play before going on a cigarette break and walking home on Wednesday nights from the college campus.

    i got a shudder the first time i heard this song. It was a sublime feeling, like I had known the song for years, but I was just hearing it for the first time.
    Even though i have only heard it a couple of times it is one of my favorite songs, by one of my favorite bands

    Favorite lines? 'I no longer know how to pray, I live in a dog town and it's a dalmation parade... I've changed my spots over and over, but they never seem to fade away'.
