I Love Counting Crows

About the time that this song was released I began dating a young man that was in the military.  His last name was "Jones."  I was feeling particularly loving one night and called the radio station to dedicate this...

I was first introduced to the Counting Crows when I was about fifteen.  I loved their music right away and still listen to them whenever I'm in a relaxing mood.

I'm assuming the nature of this group is for those of us who appreciate the band, The Counting Crows. They are one of my favorites. I saw them in concert a couple of years ago, and it was one of the best I've ever attended.

I got the August and everything after album on cassette when I was about 16 (I think). It was and to this day still is the only album I have ever bought where I enjoyed every single song. You know how there are usually a couple of not...

Some people count crows for fun, others for death, I do it because of I find a deep fascination with crows, and ravens. I want a "pet" of both of them. Well, those and snakes. :)

Right this second I'm at 4. ^~^

Well I've had that one for a long time. I've listened to many things by them, and suddenly today, I realized I didn't know "Saturday nights and sunday mornings". That I have now, and it may very well become my fave album by them.

A picture of Amsterdam
Bare trees under glass
framed in the grey and white afternoon light
Of a winter long passed
When I was a riser
To Dublin I'd roam
She was a bareback rider
Some miles from home

Come back to me
Come back...

I've seen them live three times and get goose bumps everytime.  Adam Duritz has quite possibly written a song for every experience in my life. 

I do like this band a great deal. I love their folky rock sound, and love to listen to them when I want to just unwind from the stresses of the day, they are good for that.

My favorite album of all time.  I could listen to this album all day.  It's mellow, emotional, beautiful.  My profile name comes from my favorite song on the album, "A Murder of One." 
Other highlights...

Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

I heard them on the radio when I was in highschool, and liked "mr Jones". I really got into them in my 20's, and discovered what did not pass on the radio. I like about them they use instruments that are too often in the "...

I've seen all of their concerts in my city.  A few years ago, they performed "Anna Begins" and I was in tears.  I had never "heard" the song that way on the CD.  The live performance really drove home...

... when I was sixteen and my friend Keef played it to me. We danced around his bedroom and I borrowed his 'August and Everything After' CD.
I never gave it back.

New studio album! Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings
I just can't decide what my favorite song is. I love them all. I can not wait till they come in concert in August.

And this is why. *August and Everything After* They’re wakin up Maria Cause everybody else has got some place to go She makes a little motion with her head, rolls over, and says she’s gonna sleep for A couple minutes more...
