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 Crows for being retro-retreads, and on its singer, Adam Duritz, for his whiny self-righteousness. The group, however, could not be faulted for years of toil before their multi-platinum success. But along with the fruit of labor, Count More... (Submit New Counting Crows Lyrics) (Submit New Counting Crows Lyrics) Review about Counting Crows 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. Brings Back Memories.... | Reviewer: PaddyK ------ About the song Colorblind performed by Counting Crows The very first time I heard this song was in my GCSE Music class at school. The girl I was madly in love with sung it while playing the piano, and it was the most beautiful thing i've ever heard. It made me love her more and more everytime she played it. Sadly, I never got the chance to tell her how i felt, she moved far away. So now this song brings back the wonderful memory of her, as well as the painful guilt of missing the one and only chance i'd ever have of opening up to her.... :'( love this song | Reviewer: monica ------ About the song Colorblind performed by Counting Crows the first time i heard this was when a girl in dance production at my high school did it as her performance it was so beautiful and i heard it on the movie "cruel intentions" too also a gr8 movie but i think this a very nice song it can be interpreted in many different ways to different people so it leaves it up to you to decide what it really means ..... gr8 song :) a long december | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song A Long December performed by Counting Crows well, this song has been 1 of my favorites since i was about 5. my grandma was the only 1 keeping our family together and this song came out right after she died so it's a very sad song but still it's a very good one My favourite Adult-Alternative Album EVER! | Reviewer: Narcotic Evil ------ About the album August & Everything After performed by Counting Crows I absolutely love this album. Its one of those albums you can just listen to whenever. The lyrics are a masterpiece on their own, and are enhanced by the vocals and instruments. For those who are new to the album check out Round Here, Mr. Jones & Perfect Blue Buildings. For some reason this whole album reminds me of the 1971 film The Last Picture Show. Good time | Reviewer: Jacob Palmer ------ About the song Good Time performed by Counting Crows I don't agree with above. I believe that it's a guy or Adam Duritz as he generally writes about experiences in his life, striving to impress a girl and is clearly very nervous so is unable to express what he wants to say. Or something along those lines. nothin like some good 90's music | Reviewer: slater ------ About artist/band Counting Crows sweet band. grew up in the 90's hearin thier tunes thru a radio. whenever i hear thier songs, it is almost like i can smell the fresh air again, drivin in the car 'round town as i did before as a child. sorta brings you back for those few minutes. music was so fine then insight | Reviewer: Keygirl ------ About artist/band Counting Crows First I would like to say the late great Jerry Garcia did not write hardly any of the songs that Grateful Dead made famous. Most of their songs are old southern blues standards. I realize that I am older than most of the people who have written But I do agree that Duritz's insightfulness is sometimes eerie right down to naming names in my life and situations. Can't wait to see them this summer. Me Too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: beeds ------ About the song Colorblind performed by Counting Crows CRUEL INTENTIONS is one of my many favorite movies.....that is how i discovered this song...it makes me think of my own relationship...where i am always trying to decide if "i am ready" to take a very important step or not.....when i finally decide what to do i will sigh in relief asi say to myself "i am fine This is a beautiful song. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Colorblind performed by Counting Crows It can be interpreted in many ways. One interpretation of the song that I saw several times that kind of ruined the song for me is that the song was about sex and losing one's virginity. Actually, I still really love the song, but I found this interpretation too literal and kind of immature. I personally think this song is about letting yourself go, letting go of your inhibitions, and seeing the good of things, or finally seeing the "color" of life. I think it means to allow good, new things into your life, and to allow other people to know you and to shake down the walls you've built around your heart. Like a x-ray into the 90's kid's soul | Reviewer: Guitardude ------ About artist/band Counting Crows I'm 32 now, my high school days long past me. I always thought I was so miserable in high school, but two bands truly take me back in my heart and make me realize it was a simpler, easier, happier time: Counting Crows and Big Head Todd and the Monsters. "August and Everything After" and "Strategem" kept me sane for years. excellent | Reviewer: liv ------ About the song Round Here performed by Counting Crows i love this song, it reminds me so much of my life. round here.... i just want to get away. i think a lot of people feel like that, we all need to escape. the lyrics really make sense of that feeling. let me go... <3 <3 <3 | Reviewer: Janessa ------ About the song Round Here performed by Counting Crows I love listening to this song so much. Singing along is a bit hard, since I go to fast, but it's still a beautiful song. I'd say 'cute', but it's really not. If anything, it would be called saddening more than cute any day. Still, it's a wonderful song. good time | Reviewer: sinn fein ------ About the song Good Time performed by Counting Crows This is one of my favorite songs by Counting Crows. "He don't know what to do, He just wants to look good for you." It seems to be about a mentally/physically handicapped person who's striving to be "normal", with absolutely no pretension. Retarded people who know they're different are often the most genuine people you come across. "You feel a little shy these days, cause everybody goes away." such real people are so rare. Almost... | Reviewer: harsh.truth. ------ About the song Colorblind performed by Counting Crows when i listen to this song it seems almost painful. the singer sings it with such emotion. the lyrics have a cryptic meaning behind them. i love listening to this song when i close my eyes and let it wash over me. review | Reviewer: Chris Bayle ------ About the song Washington Square performed by Counting Crows I feel like counting crows reads my life and thoughts like they're open books. They go a little overboard on the sadness sometimes. I see some humor, too. But it's nice to have music that makes you feel like someone understands you and what you've experienced. I like the sound of the band and Adam's singing, especially on slow songs like this one. I just wish they would explore other, happier themes. review | Reviewer: Chris Bayle ------ About artist/band Counting Crows I feel like counting crows reads my life and thoughts like they're open books.

One of the most amazing songs i've heard | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Colorblind performed by Counting Crows this song is def. how i feel alot not allowing someone to come inside and keeping everything to myself although i see things how they are and not in black and white this song def. made me think of things i do Catapult | Reviewer: Cster ------ About the song Catapult performed by Counting Crows Catapult is definitely one of Counting Crow's best. The beat is awesome; the words are thought-provoking and their is great meaning to their song. But I can't say that's a surprise I've always found something special to love about Counting Crows. Crows' Kid Things | Reviewer: Jcaraska ------ About the song Kid Things performed by Counting Crows A hidden track for patient listeners of St. Robinson in His Cadillac Dream (as part of the This Desert Life CD), Kid Things is about as upbeat as the Crows get. A great garage band feel to this, drums coming in loud and clear, and unlike many of the Crows' cuts, this has almost a jaunty feel to it. Some nice mandolin work in this. Would be nice to get this as a single, had hoped it would have been included on Films About Ghosts, but no luck. If you haven't perused your local used CD shop, check out This Desert Life, and don't worry about the many minutes of silence that follow St. Robinson, because 'Kid Things' is worth the wait.
