Alone or lonely two different states of being. Always easier to push people away first before you get pushed. It's a fine balancing act, being around others and being on one's own. Great song.
One of a group of their songs you never hear on the radio that completely blow away their mainstream stuff. Best and most underrated band of the last 25 years.
@batterwhy I know! One he has shaved and looks weird and in this one... his hair's up funny and his shirt... I mean, I LOVE Adam, don't get me wrong, he just... hehe;)

He doesn't care what anyone else thinks--he just wears his hair the way he wants, the way he feels comfortable. You have to admire someone with that much self confidence.
@cme1strightnow - lol - yeah I heard this song on their greatest hits CD and loved it and then looked for this video and thought it was dumb as hell - and I'm a huge CC fan. The video seemed like an afterthought. For some reason it's kind of grown on me the more I've watched it. But I had the same initial impression of this video when I first watched it. Like, WTF, just Adam walking around lip-syncing the song???? I think it's cool now.
Yeah! Down with the platinum multi million selling album hair, even though the penis attached to it has banged hotter tang than any of you idiots could smell the panties of, even if you robbed a laundromat full of Victoria Secret models.....Dong Pirates....
I do believe he probably just performing for the vid. As for the hair style it what make him him nothing ore nothing less it called free will and make ur self ur own person and not conforming to society.
The music = Amazing. But he's just a little... lol. He walks funny, his hair is.. RAWR, The music really speaks to me, but the man that sings it .... Not so much.
Cool effect with the clouds. And I love Adam Duritz as an artist, but I'm really not seeing what all these people are ranting about his sexiness for from this video. 8X
I'm really a fan of this video. Simplicity at its best. I'm curious if he is slowing himself down or if that was done in post. I would suppose the latter as his lips still match the music.
@lVinagretel you really think this band needs an expensive video? the video is amazing, simplicity can mean best, your mind is exempt from that statement though.
@KFlahavan - My estimation of the meaning behind the song is that it's a girl whose afraid to get close to anyone for fear of getting hurt (she don't want nobody near). For whatever reason, people are gravitated to her but she always pushes them away. Could be way off-base, but that's my guess.
FYI for all the hair comments. He's Jewish. He has fake dreads. He doesn't care what you think. He chose them for a reason that I can't at the moment remember. Regardless, he is an amazingly talented writer and singer. I love this band and have for years and years. I'm so thankful they are still around making music despite all of his struggles. love love love Adam Duritz and Counting Crows.
@darkwatervamp Because he himself brought it up in the article where he talked about his hair. And it was a clarification so that people could understand that the dreds are not part of his heritage, but something he chose voluntarily.
@KatyBaty1001 that makes more sense, i thought you many have been implying they were obviously fake because he was jewish, but yea i like his dreds personally idk why people get so critical about peoples style choices. i hope the counting crows stay around for quite awhile =]
I used to love this songI had almost forgot about this . A Simple melodic song.And when I say simple that is by no means an insult. I mean a song with piano drums bass and guitar.Well written not overproduced with alot of unnecassary B.S. Once again a song by Counting Crows that was better than anything on the radio at the time and it was a moderate success at best.
@MikeNC2371 Counting Crows shows the entire band in almost all of their videos, including Big Yellow Taxi, Hangin' Around, Mrs. Potter's Lulaby, American Girls, A Long December, and many more.
Yeah, but, Side show Bob is a very cool cat!!!! Yeah they are one of the best in the 90's and until now! There are lots of bands from that time who remain just under the radar!! Wallflowers!
Yeah, but, Side show Bob is a very cool cat!!!! Yeah they are one of the best in the 90's and until now! There are lots of bands from that time who remain just under the redar!! Wallflowers!
@rootsr0ckriot Because this type of music is not what people want to hear. They would rather listen to Justin Timberlake sing to a studio manufatured rythm track then to hear musicians actually play instruments. They want shallow lyrics about dancing and partying.They don't wan't any songs that might actually have some meaning to them.
@AquaChevy96 Thanks, now I know what CD I must buy. I see from the wiki article that some versions also include 'Accidently in Love' that would be a two for one deal.
@action Fair question. He had one of the greatest voices of the 90's, but the band ultimately crashed and burned when they were deemed phonies by the true believers. They were a studio concoction with NO personal connections to the grungy, earthy-street imagery in this or their other videos and songs. 90's listeners were rebelling against the stadium-rock, Madison Avenue image fakers, and this band fooled some of them, but only for a while.
@gitchigoomi You don't know what he hell your talking about. There are many phonies and studio creations true but this band is not one. The band writes their own material Adam being the main song writer.They play their own instruments and damn good I might add.Their music is melodic [ a rare thing today] and they play great live. Music is what counts. There are many bands that have nothing but an image.These guys are great musicians. Why would anything else matter?
That's some crazy hair!

Hello Everyone! =)
Whereas millions of people have this same kind of dream, I'm trying to get help through YouTube to achieve it.
I've loved music and I just want other people to hear me.
Become a professional singer, it’s difficult but not impossible.
It’s my dream? To make it big and have people like and listen to my music.
I’d love if you just give me a chance and stop by my channel. Also if you could thumbs up this comment so other people can see it
Your view could do one big change.
