Counting Crows Lyrics


Counting Crow'debut record, August and Everything After,
took the world by surprise only months after its release in
September of 1993. Fueled by the catchy, if not wholly
original, jangle of "Mr. Jones," the album generated a
cavalcade of interest in the San Francisco-based roots-rock
band whose timing couldn't have been better. Supporters
flocked to an album that was as moody and introspective as
Pearl Jam or Nirvana, but was rooted in the less bruising
strains of Van Morrison, the Band, and R.E.M. Detractors
teed off on Counting More...

Review about Counting Crows songs
The world is not flat | Reviewer: sthpaw
    ------ About the song Colorblind performed by Counting Crows

My interpretation of the song is that it is about a person's willingness to stand up for what is right and let others know how they truly feel about something for which they may be ostracized. It is about not only being a good person on the inside, but being willing to let others know about your views on something and being willing to accept the consequences.

For me, "Colorblind" is about my willingness to not only accept people for who they are regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, education level, profession, etc, but more importantly to stand up for those people.

There have been times in my life when I had the opportunity to stand up for someone and I didn't....I regret not doing anything.

People who I thought were my friends have distanced themselves from me because of my beliefs. It is too bad they weren't willing stop seeing things with only their eyes. You will meet a lot of wonderful people if you are willing to open your heart and mind.

It takes a lot of courage to be "Colorblind" - the rewards are worth it.

    ------ About the song Round Here performed by Counting Crows

I first heard this through Panic! At The Disco's cover of this song (live), and it was so beautiful, I actually cried of how much emotion the singer put into the lyrics, as if he's telling us a story of his life or something...

beautiful. | Reviewer: jessie
    ------ About the song Colorblind performed by Counting Crows

i can't believe nobody else has picked up on this, but i believe this song may have something to do with eating disorders.

'coffee black and egg white' being things people will do on a diet (sometimes) and 'pull me out from inside' referring to purging.
and 'i am covered in skin, no one gets to come in', talking about the general seclusion that entails from having an eating disorder

A long november, december, etc. | Reviewer: Christina Hoag
    ------ About the song A Long December performed by Counting Crows

To me the song title makes me think of having a rough year of a lot of things going wrong, be it romantically, financially, car troubles, etc. I can relate because on October 31st, we hit a deer w/our only working vehicle over an hour away from home. The descent into one thing after another going wrong followed us for a long time, until the last fews days. Things are starting to turn around, I think.

what i think | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song A Long December performed by Counting Crows

When I hear this song it really makes me think of the past year during august I started talkin to my ex that I didn't for a year an a half and the last time before it I cheated on her an the lyrics if you think I could be forgiven I wish you would came to me but we still had our problems we were together til october an then she left me because we would argue alot an for the second verse drove up hillside manor sometime after 2 a.m just reminds me of how I went to the loony bin at 2 a.m. An I jus talked for a while there an it was depressing because I couldn't show her all the love I was trying to give her then I finally got out an on that day she realized I really did love her but she didn't feel the same because she left me at the end of this december for another man Idk. There's definitely not another song that touches me like this one

Love the song | Reviewer: lost love 17
    ------ About the song Colorblind performed by Counting Crows

This song can be interpreted in so many different ways and only the band can really tell you what intentions they have when they wrote this song. But the many comments here are pretty bang on. However, I still believe that the interpretation really depends on the listeners current state of mood and mind. At this point in time, my interpretation is:

The individual sees things all or none and nothing in between but he wants to change. The individual wants to express himself but cannot (tongue tied) for some reason so he is "uptight" about that. The individual feels nobody gets to come in whether he does not let them or no one understands him. "colorblind" symbolizing that he does not see the true aspect of the world?

Also, he keeps on repeating, pull him out so he does would like help. He says he is ready and he is fine. He can be convincing himself that or he thinks he really is. But that he is fine could also mean that he is ready for help and he mind is made up so he is fine or that he made up his mind ready to end everything so then he will be fine that way too. So there can be two interpretations to what he meant by ready and that he is fine...at least convincing himself that he is fine.

Possible Meaning | Reviewer: Matt
    ------ About the song Amy Hit the Atmosphere performed by Counting Crows

There's most likely a better meaning, but to me it sounds like their life is just fading away because of drugs. I'm not sure if they meant something entirely different, but "hit the atmosphere" and "she's never coming back I fear" sounds like she is in an entire other drug-induced world and will never return to reality. The days drift away and blend together as one because nothing else matters to them but their little world. And they're waiting for someone to take them back home to their mothers, where everything was fine before, because they can't leave on their own. The last lines seem to me to be him debating whether or not he wants to acknowledge how far astray he has become from his life; or if he wants to stay numb to everyone and everything and not have a care for anything or anyone but himself.

great song | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Colorblind performed by Counting Crows

I think the interpretation of the person-...i think 8 comments or so below mine- is pretty great.
another (well not THAT different, but i just wanted to say something and he/she already did a great job) interpretation would be for me, that it is about a person that is caught in the routine daily life, every day is the same, there is no distraction, he/she forgot how it was when there was joy and surprises everywhere ("Coffee black and egg white" - everyday starts the same, everything is black/white, and therefore unvaluable) and the person him/herself unlearned to see the happiness and the extraordinarity that surround him/her.
but he/she dimly remembers, and needs someone to show how him/her what she/he almost forgot.
but the person has been too long on his/her own, so he/she withdrew her/himself and is hard to get. "i am covered in skin, noone gets to come in" - he/she may have a lot of people around, but they don't understand, they don't see how he/she suffers inside. i actually assume that the p. is someone of whom nobody would expect to feel lost, or week, or insecure. nobody gets him/her, nobody bothers to really get him/her, they have their own issues and it is way more easy to ignore it.
so the only thing i don't agree with the other interpretation is the end. i don't see it as being satisfied. for me it feels like the person was begging to be released, but because nobody came, he resignates. i think everybody knows those phases of despair and lonesomeness, no matter if you are surrounded by others or not, from time to time one just feels empty and hollow and is filled with yearning for something without knowing what one is missing exactly. but they most often than not dissapear and we go on to function like we used to.
uff. I'm finished ;)

Rock Star's Difficulty in Finding, Keeping True Love | Reviewer: Paul
    ------ About the song The Ghost In You performed by Counting Crows

The song begins with a man saying a man like ME runs a light and newspapers write about it. Obviously, a man like him is a rockstar and any little thing he does is news. So, falling in love with a girl is a news item and it will be covered. This song in a way presage's the death of Princess Diana...it is about how celebrities cannot have a real relationship because the news media gets involved in their lives and perhaps either breaks them up or renders them shallow for lack of quality time. This lyricist says that such a relationship is "all of heaven away". Worse, he realizes he lost a woman who was very important to him and whom he can never forget....all because of the news media/paparazzi. This song written in 1984 predicted and predated the paparazzi scandal by 13 years. The paparazzi scandal erupted in 1997 when Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed were chased and,some say, killed by the paparazzi.
