  • I had a horrible day today... The moment I heard this song it made me feel slightly better... I have no idea why.. Lol. Great song. <3

  • First time I heard this song i was driving away from a wedding. The wedding was for my best friend who I popped the question too 4 months earlier. I was a groomsman in the wedding. Talk about a rough time. This song spoke to like no other song ever has.

    14 years later, we're married. Been married now for 5 years.

  • This song makes me wet eyed every time I hear it. I guess it just hits home or something.

  • This song reminds me of someone that I'm crazy over. I've always tried to be there for her but her self-destructive nature always ends up hurting both of us. :(

  • @stevie5150 Same situation..only I'm the crazy one.

  • I believe this song is about 2 people who were deeply in love and had many chances to be together but never truly grabbed the moment. they left each other they looked for themselves trying to feel that whole feeling they had with each other. Lost and alone they got scared and angry, and the girl tries to seek the peace through religion but it still doesn't work. as they are alone without each other they become shells of there former selves... suicide becomes a factor and then.. nothing is left.

  • @adamleon97 You sound like you have experience w/ that kinda thing..

  • @MrsFreakYou Sadly... I do

  • @adamleon97 Well everything happens for a reason. & you will find someone. you just have to look.. & take chances.

  • @MrsFreakYou Yeah, because I'm going to take advice from a stranger on the internet.

  • Basically about a few young adults who suddenly find themselves independent individuals in the real world and are unable to deal with it. Massive stress, depression, and even the desire for suicide follow. That's at least my interpretation.

  • I hadn't heard this song in years when I heard it tonight. It was my bf's birthday when this song started,and just memories started to come back to me - the happy and sweat time I spent with bffs enjoying our friendship-the time when I used to listen this song-and now was gone .Tears came,and I couldn't stop them.She came closer to me and hugged me. "It's never going to be the same,isn't it?" "Time and space can separate people,but if love is strong,it will reunite them again :)" - she said <3

  • rest in pece joe.i wish i could have helped you

  • "She parks her car outside of my house. Takes her clothes off. Said she close to understanding Jesus." ...something so strong and relatable about this part but i dont know why. I love it.

  • Reminds me of my mentally ill mother when she is sick

  • I love this song. I remeber laying in my dorm room in 1995 at 2am listining to this song when I couldn't sleep. Things sure haven't changed much in 17years

  • @MrRiley1511 that's funny i was trying to remember when this came out and saw your comment. yep 95

  • The beginning guitar on this song is IDENTICAL to the Diary of Jane.

  • My dad died this year....everytime i hear this song i think of his accidental suicidal because he loved this song, i can't help thinking if he listened to this song and then decided- it's time. :'(

  • @hellokittyfreakinrox awe that is sad. sorry for your loss. i have songs that remind me of my parent's passing also.

  • why i cry when i hear this song? :'(

  • This song has made me cry ever since I heard it somewhere when I was little and I don't know why. :

  • my dad sings this song and i nearly i cry i have no clue wy its so emotinal for me? :(

  • Love this song

  • she has trouble acting normal when shes nervous.

  • hm dont know if me friend noticed but this is also uploaded on his birthday he got me into listening to songs like this good song

  • Imagine if These Guys Had The Same Emotion Of This Song Throughout Their Existence?

  • lying in my bed with lights off, this song is like how i really feel now - stupid and useless..

  • I love this <3

  • Deep Water ! Very Interesting .

  • got to be their best albumn. And this is one of their great songs. At times esoteric lyrics, great images, and harsh reality. I love it still.

  • She must be tired of something...that's a pretty deep line

  • i think that the cover of this song by marianas trench at the cne 2011 was better then the original.

  • this song makes me want to cry,

    it brings back memories for some reason,

    memories that have no connection to it,

    that i know of,

    its just beautiful <3

  • @punchline911 oh my godd , same here . O.o

  • This song reminds me of my childhood. My dad used to listen to this along with Third Eye Blind and Collective Soul when I was just a little tyke...so yeah, these bands remind me of my childhood. :)

  • @Azlaier haha you can't be very old then kid =)

    this and the bands you mentioned were the soundtrack to my formative years growing up in Riverside, CA. I don't consider myself old by any means - in fact i was just carded while buying beer by a suspicious clerk just last week heh.

  • In my English 2 class we're studying social issues in songs, and I got this song as my topic. I am so glad I didn't get the one I wanted in the first place, this is beautiful

  • i love this song:)

  • same here @SarahMeyers1000

  • Heres how I interpret this song: I'm living in a town where everyone is the same. Individuality isn't the right way. Trying to be my own person is driving me insane, and I feel like "I'm under the gun around here." Me expressing my emotions openly is frowned upon, and I'm "thinking of jumping" which, to me, is killing my uniqueness, falling in line with everyone else here. I wish someone else could see my pain. Just my two cents if you dont like it... screw yourself.. nah jk

  • @Pewgan to me i think the line that shes thinking of jumping is as literal as possible

  • @Pewgan I like that.

  • @Pewgan i hope you dont mind i qouted you and put in on my facebook under my favorites. this is amazing, so moving. " I'm living in a town where everyone is the same. Individuality isn't the right way. Trying to be my own person is driving me insane, and I feel like "I'm under the gun around here." Me expressing my emotions openly is frowned upon, and I'm "thinking of jumping" which, to me, is killing my uniqueness, falling in line with everyone else here. I wish someone else could see my pain"

  • so random & yet so beautiful<3

  • Wow, this is beautiful. Amazing lyrics.

  • i love this song:)

  • the fact that there are 24 dislikes on a video with this many views makes me happy. fuck the haters

  • This song is probably one of my favorite songs in existance.

  • v Is that legal..?

  • I LOVE IT SO MUCH DX

    IM GONNA MARRY IT ;3;

  • I love alot of rap music n mainstream not all of it, but I really hope music moves on from sex, drugs, hate, and revenge, and goes on to being about love, honesty, peace, and purity, we're driving our young generation in the wrong direction saddest part about life :/

  • @ebos89 there's plenty of music about the latter in your comment. listen to Incubus's new album "if not now, when?".

  • how come Counting Crows' songs always make me shiver and almost cry?

  • @TheRejoice7 because amazing music speaks to your soul, and its hard not to react. that is how real music should make you feel. and only a true artist like the counting crows could bring you such an experience.

  • ;( reminds me of my dad ,,

    i love this song tho <3

  • WELL SAID 85ICEMAN, PAIN IS GROWTH, this song is about a catholic old school girl or orphanage setting I believe.

  • One of the most depressing songs ever but at the same time one of the most beautiful songs ever too.

  • @vabustillos this isn't even close to the most depressing song ever. look up "pieces" by RED.

  • 22 people missed the like button.

  • This song is in the same category as REM's " Everybody hurts " And that, is a very good place to be.

  • when i heard this at the cottage last year , it became a top ten song of mine

    all time forever

  • Brendon Urie did a beautiful cover of this song <3

  • I got here because of the book "The Woods" by Harlan Coben, and I'm staying because this song is amazing!

  • @missA65864 awesome book and song! 

  • I hate not being able to like this more than once

  • To me this song is about watching a close , loving friends decension into madness......and there is nothing you can do to stop it, so you just go through it with him/her. I think its beautiful.

  • I like this song ...reminds me of my past and now I am over it

  • If I blew my brains out not one person in my life will care...I'm so sad.

  • @spotandedgar send me a message. I'll give you my email. Maybe you just need to talk things out.

  • Someone said this song describes me perfectly and it makes me sad...I can't help but want to cry everytime I hear it now. :/

  • gotta luv the crows

  • reminds me of past memories

  • watch?v=fraiJM7V4vM&feature=ch­annel_video_title

    watch me and my sisters remake of this song (:

  • what is this song about

  • i just found a sing....! round here..... "something radiates"

  • I think most people feel, at one point or another, as if they are

    angry

    invisible

    misunderstood

    under the gun

  • heard this song for the first time yesterday. amazing!! where the fuck have i been

  • I think the 20 ppl that hit dislike r fuckin retarded

  • @fbowda excuse me but last time i checked i wasn't retarded

  • the lyrics doesn't make any sense but i like the song!

  • ....this song reminds me of a relative i had that was schizophrenic. it's very sad...very sad.

    this band is a blessing. this and "colorblind" are my favorites.

  • This song gives me shivers..So Beautiful..

  • Maria? He mentions her in Mr. Jones. Is she an actual person?

  • I Love this song ; ))))

  • I know this song was in a Scrubs episode, but does anyone remember which one?!? I'm dying to know!!

  • @ktgirlawesome first season...

  • the people in my PE class call me elvis cuz i have sideburns lmao

  • the lyrics are simply beautiful <3

  • awesome lyrics

  • I love the religious undertones

    We sacrifice like lambs

    Close to understanding Jesus

    Like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis(El-vis...Je-sus!)

  • @chefshitpiece I got the impression that the religious undertones were ironic. I saw the "talk like lions, sacrifice like lambs" as showing the impurity and duality we live through. but i could be wrong. ...and if a girl comes to your house and just takes her clothes off she's prolly not that tight with jesus. Again, I could be wrong.

  • @xPARADOXASAURx Not a bad interpretation. COuld be, I like that you put some thought into it. Thats pretty rare these days.

  • The only song I've grown from utterly hating to absolutely loving.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm actually a jazz...Rap ...R&B....enthusiast ,but on hearing this song one night on one of our late shows in New York ,I instantly became a fan.

  • this song to me is about someone who is suffering from some demonds...

  • the local radio station used to play this regularly until it got taken off, i didn't like the song at first, but after a couple years hearing it, it has grown on me. dunno why, but but it actually means a lot to me, funny how that happens

  • I used to have this song on my mp3 but it was being retarded when I put it on there and it made it sound like Counting Crows had a stuttering problem. I keep thinking its gonna do that while I'm listening to it on here but then it doesnt and I'm like 'Oh yeahh thats right it was only on my mp3...' Lol :3

  • Best Counting Crows song. :) Atleast, I think so..

  • the powder on the bar was just that one time

  • tweaker song.....90 percent of pop songs or always about sex drugs and comin down

  • tweaker song

  • wat are some good counting crows songs?

  • @youneveri All of them.

  • @youneveri their entire album August and Everything After is an absolutely phenomenal (this is the first track)

  • @youneveri depeneds on the style of song your after, if you like ones like this i'd recommened colorblind, goodnight elisabeth, recovering the satellites or up all night (frankie miller goes to hollywood) as a start anyways... if you want more energetic, id go for american girls, einstein on a beach (for an eggman), mr jones or accidently in love.

  • Counting Crows.

    Simply amazing.

  • my step dad has this song on his ipod and that's how i discovered it :)))

  • This is the best song ever. This is like my favoriet song:) i literally have it playing in my room all day every day haha:)

  • These lyrics are priceless.

  • I love these lyrics.

  • Ahh! This is my hometown :P

  • i love this song :)!

  • If you are a true fan of Counting Crows, as I am, please check out my version of this song. Trying to get some feedback from real fans. Feel free to leave a helpful hint on how I can improve, but I think for a live bootleggy version, youll agree its pretty damn good. Thanks- Marc

  • @tina1000able YEah I hear ya. My pops passed away when I was only like 18, right...but I know that if he saw one tear in my eye he would say to 'Forget cryin', get back to living'. Sometimes I'd swea\r I can fell his spirit. like two hands pressing on my back moving me forward. YOu gotta move forwards too, girl. You gotta keep keepin' on!
