unbelievable group, If youve never seen them live i highly highly recomend it. Their stage presence and music puts you in such a music high that no drug could ever do to you its a great feeling that you just never want to end. Thanks crows for doing what you guys do!
My mom and dad danced out side in the rain to this song on their anniversary. Well God bless my dad soul and RIP, we miss you dude, and your spirit is always in music.
This man has a voice that you cannot compare with anyone else. It is so great that it would be hard to try to top it! It grabs you by the soul! WOW- gives me shivers every time I hear it!
simply the greatest song ever written. the lyrics that adam writes are astounding- he has such a brilliant mind and you can tell hes been through alot. these songs bring back memories, provoke feelings and continue to astound me everytime i listen to them.
Since the first time I heard round here, like, REALLY heard it, felt it, i've never been driven to tears. not like sobbing, but tears. He's the best lyricist ever, period. All of his songs are darkly beautiful.
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right... This song is so perfect! It reminds me of my teenage years, of a woman who slipped through my hands... Thanks Michelle... You tought me a lot about life, love and about the dangers of a voice who can make a dragon cry...
This song is as close to musical perfection as i can fathom. It's amazing in it's simplicity and the way Adam seems to talk to us, every time I hear it I think it has a different meaning!! A musical genius!!
I simply just love this song, he has an amazing voice! Just like you remember how lucky you are to be alive, and the people you love in your life when you hear this song.
Yes u make perfect sense. The word you are looking for is "bittersweet" It's that feeling u get when looking back in your life and missing something but though it hurts the memory still makes u happy.
this song always gives me the chills even though i am 25 and was only in junior high when counting crows were at their peak popularity this song reminds me of so much of my past from childhood, highschool, college years to adulthood. one of the best songs of all time
i missed out on alot stuff cause i was born in 1993 so i didnt grow up with great music like this but im thankful i can get a chance to listen to it now. its so BEAUTIFUL!!
great song, brings back perfect memories. top top band, and what a timeless album 'august and everything after' 14 years old but stills gets played all the time.
I too saw them in Raleigh on the 29th. Absolutely amazing. Based on Adam's lyrical additions to this song live as well as some others, it would seem he has found himself a very special girl. His additions to this song were quite beautiful, as well as his additions to "Good Night Elizabeth". Simply amazing. Adam and the Crows rule. Period.
I agree with you. As with all art, it is nothing without emotions. The artist is expressing his emotions and allowing us to use our perception of his art to validate our emotions. That is what art is, and music is an art. As a card-carrying "clinically" depressed person, I embrance this part of being depressed. Sensitivity to what is going on around us is what makes me different. If I can attach my own schemta to a song, then so be it. From these posts, I see what is wrong with the world.
Best song ever written, by far, and only song that makes me cry. I listen to this song everyday and every minute possible. Im in love with it (: I love Adam best song writer ever.
I found the song beautifully interesting more than a decade ago, but now it has a full meaning to me and is one of the most strong and strange feelings I've felt and will ever feel in my whole life.
Applying this incredible song to a moment I'm living right now, I could finally find a meaning for it: It tries to put on words how's to fall in love and be emotionally related to someone who has lost his/her mind long time ago. It is the hardest thing you'll ever live, to fall in love with a psycho you didn't know he/she actually was, until you sadly discovered it...
i ABSOLUTELY love this song soo much. my friend says that when he talks about everyone looking the same,that he is drunk then i explained to him what the song is about. he was embarrassed :)
I heard this song for the first time in years on my way across New Mexico a few days ago and went to this great used CD shop and bought it again, just to do it....
it doesn't matter how long ago i heard his song.. I can sing every word with no problem... I love these guys!! I tried to see them twice but both shows cancelled.. :( Hopefully one day
unbelievable group, If youve never seen them live i highly highly recomend it. Their stage presence and music puts you in such a music high that no drug could ever do to you its a great feeling that you just never want to end. Thanks crows for doing what you guys do!
I think the beauty of this song is that everyone interprets it differently... song is different to each person. And thats just good writing
My mom and dad danced out side in the rain to this song on their anniversary. Well God bless my dad soul and RIP, we miss you dude, and your spirit is always in music.
This man has a voice that you cannot compare with anyone else. It is so great that it would be hard to try to top it! It grabs you by the soul! WOW- gives me shivers every time I hear it!
One of the all-time great songs in music history from one of the greatest bands ever. BEAUTIFUL STUFF!
One of the greatest albums of the 1990's. Perfectly timed.
simply the greatest song ever written. the lyrics that adam writes are astounding- he has such a brilliant mind and you can tell hes been through alot.

This is the best band ever. My boyfriend got me into the, because he grown up listening to this amazing music. I LOVE IT!!
One of the greatest songs ever written. Brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for the post.
So much emotion comes through this man's voice.
This song is amazing. It tells a story, a very moving story. Anyone who does not understand this, needs to appreciate music a little more.
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right...

this song is simply amazing. One of the best songs from the most underated band of all time.
This song is as close to musical perfection as i can fathom. It's amazing in it's simplicity and the way Adam seems to talk to us, every time I hear it I think it has a different meaning!!
A musical genius!!
brilliant!!
no one makes songs like these anymore..
so much feeling and thought expressed in words. excellent choices of words and Imagery.
he has such a cry of passion and anguish and fear in the quavering notes. Just haunting!
One of the Crows' best songs.
And Counting Crows is the best band ever, so that says quite a lot.
I simply just love this song, he has an amazing voice!
Just like you remember how lucky you are to be alive, and the people you love in your life when you hear this song.
this song, live in raleigh last night, was utterly amazing. 12 minutes of pure eargasm.
" Would you catch me if I'm falling!!! "
My best part.. the guy runs as if he's trying to catch her.. heart warming with shiver all over my body..
i am such a 90's chick and this is sooo us! i miss those days! when music was original and real!
Beautiful song with lyrics we need now more than ever. I love the poster "Nobody moves and everyone gets hurt".
my favourite counting crows song . the lyrics are amazing ! great tune
Yes u make perfect sense. The word you are looking for is "bittersweet" It's that feeling u get when looking back in your life and missing something but though it hurts the memory still makes u happy.

My favorite Counting Crows and love his distinctive voice
I love this song. Counting Crows are awesome!
Adam Duritz is too complicated to fit into any category except one. He fits perfectly into this one. - - - - - - ICONIC - - - - - - - -
that song reminds me a my scotland years....so many souvenirs :-). This song was my typical sunday morning!
this is one of the few songs that can actually make me tear up..
it reminds me of my dark days in depression..
this remnds me of living/working in greece - one of the few cds i took - amazing songs and fantastic memories!
what i like most about music is that it takes you back in time for a sec, makes you feel all tingly for a sec, lol
So unbelivably beautiful! Thank you for posting.
Love you Adam.......joanie

I love this song so much. it's almost ridiculous how amazing this sing is.
wow, this song never fails to make me cry. loove it.
love the climax of this video and the blue pool at the end contrasted with the desert sky in the beginning.
i missed out on alot stuff cause i was born in 1993 so i didnt grow up with great music like this but im thankful i can get a chance to listen to it now. its so BEAUTIFUL!!
I always loved this song...Reminds me of all the cranksters in my neighbohood who are fading away....
one of the greatest song ever written!!!
There's so much emotion in this. I love it.
I only watch the video to see the parts where he sings.
He's always such an emotional storyteller, I love it.
ogni volta che sento questa canzone mi vengono i brividi.. veramente fantastica..grazie
I loved the video myself, seeing "maria" fall into the water was a huge emotional impact for me, and the man in the desert was powerless to stop it...
~ 1994 Carving Out Our Names is the name of the album. this is one of my fave
great song, brings back perfect memories. top top band, and what a timeless album 'august and everything after' 14 years old but stills gets played all the time.

this song brings back a whole lot of memories
yeah I miss the 90's too...so many great bands that we had...

Awesome song. Reminds me of sad times, but still love it.
i like the song and i like seeing adam...this is an awesome experiance
beautiful,
just beautiful
I love this album; it feels like the entire record is about heartbreak.
one of the best written songs from them

I Love the Counting Crows!!!
Possibly the most emotional song ever.
awsome song heard it on 80's on 8 and had to download it. first time i seen the video..UA-cam is the BEST
One of my favorites by Counting Crows.
Best album they ever made.....And this is they;re best song IMO
Love the song, love your interpretation!
Adam is an artist, and this song is a masterpiece. I am at a loss for words on how fuckin great this song REALLY is.
i ABSOLUTELY love this song soo much. my friend says that when he talks about everyone looking the same,that he is drunk then i explained to him what the song is about. he was embarrassed :)
Beautiful song..perfect lyrics
"she says shes tired of life she must be tired of something" best line ever
Great song !!!!!!!!!!!
Outstanding song!
This is DEEP. Like, seriously, it even makes a jerk-face friend stop and listen and consider himself, amongst other things.
This entire album is awesome.
I think that this might be my most favorite song ever.
I love this song ..
and i Love his hair ^^
excellent!ça me rappel de bons souvenirs
I heard this song for the first time in years on my way across New Mexico a few days ago and went to this great used CD shop and bought it again, just to do it....
I agree! the song has such good imagery and the the video is nothing like the story line i imagined
it doesn't matter how long ago i heard his song.. I can sing every word with no problem... I love these guys!! I tried to see them twice but both shows cancelled.. :( Hopefully one day
Only 800 thousand views? I don't get. This classic should be well over a million!
