  • Ladies and Gentleman. I was a 90's teenager and songs like these are why, I will always be damn proud of it.

  • not a literal lion on top of the radio,snoozing :)

    

  • when I was born "the lion sleeps tonight " was on the radio

  • is a rare blend of musicians playing as one

  • The dislike bar represents how many people actually like modern mainstream fuckboy music

  • Holy Mother of God!! Is this actually real, wholesome, feelgood music made by real hands, wooden and metal instruments, and genuine people??? Goddamn how I've missed you

  • The girl with the suitcase has a huge ass.

  • 58 people are just... They're just dumb.

  • you ever try to sing along dam adam. love that song we all crazy one way or another vises beliefs the clock don't stop pause nothing

  • this song can me different things to different people.reminds me of a friend in london during the year 00 mad year.lol

  • what a beautiful man..

  • "The crumbling difference between wrong and right", too true.

  • Who the hell IS Maria?

  • 57 people don't know what good music is!

  • I hope you found peace in heaven. I miss you.

  • 2:29 probably the coolest boots ive ever seen.

    

  • The 1990's 'Radiates' with this Song.........An awful lot of emotion is thrown all over the place :)

  • Why can't there be beautiful, talented people? Why are all the pretty people ugly on the inside?

  • That's the most talented pineapple I've ever seen

  • i laugh at white people

  • @jesseborn42 nerd u racist

  • My comment is a top comment. I win. Check mate.

  • This was my cousins favourite song and she died of a drug overdose in 2009. It was played at her funeral and now everytime I listen to it I cry

  • I get the impression he's singing about a girl he loves, and she's falling apart, and he blames it on the flaws in our society. He gradually comes to realize within the song that, while at first he doesn't know why he hears Maria crying through the front door, her unique optimistic character that he loves so much is crushed by the modern world. It's an incredible anthology of not only his literal feelings about this girl, but his insightful observations about what's wrong with the world.

  • @CardMoves101 thanks for your thoughts faggot

  • @beahoggie your a fuckin faggot you piece of shit.........

  • @bullydogs1971 quiet down queer

    don't stick up for your boyfriend

  • @CardMoves101 i couldve sworn it was about driving around in muscle cars and banging high school chicks... but i could be wrong

  • @CardMoves101 love your comment, my thoughts, I think this song may be more personal than a thought on society - may be about a freind who suffers from anxiety or deppresion, possibley OCD (obsesive compulisve) i.e "Just like she'swalking on a wire in a circus" - "she knows she is just a little missunderstood" or " its only in my head" just my thoughts again great comment

  • @CardMoves101

    actually maria is the personification of his feelings, yet also himself as a woman. Good insight though.

  • @CardMoves101 very, very, very nicely put man! I love it!

  • @CardMoves101 I think you did an awesome job of describing something that could take a whole book to properly explain in a simple paragraph with the limited characters that youtube allows for each post lol. Props

  • This is one of the best written songs I have ever heard! Love it!

  • For all of you out there who are my age= (26 or so...) The 90's genre of music had a special feel to it in general and holds alot of meaning and memories for those who grew up in that era- anyone agree???

  • @BentzlerPC I am 23 and totally agree with you. It is just the 90s, nothing can compete.

  • @843toda6072011 How about the 60s?

  • This video ROCKS don't be a hater just because other people don't speak english perfectly----FYI----using the word "cunt" is not exactly a redeeming quality of yours---this coming from a nursing student---we are all EQUAL-----stop being an ASS Guess what ---I'm going to take this one step further----- u r an ass and a cunt and a predudice mother fucker whom I'm sure has a hell of ALOT of issues GO GET SOME HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • under rated band for sure

  • I'm wonder if you could shoot a cherry fast enough to break glass. Maybe you need to be drunk

  • badger ;d

  • Great music, plain and simple!

  • Really sad song, when you think of all the people that have left us in vain.

    But there’s a hint of hope I find through listening to this song, co-existing through the mumblings of self pity, and it’s that we are all kidding ourselves. In the simplest of terms we need to learn to let go, loosen up, “carve your name” in any way you choose because we all have a few screws loose. You are not alone, we will catch you.

  • @donnycutter19 well said

  • I've been listening to this song since i was like 4. But man the video is simply smashing.

  • This song was made 5 years before i was born. My parents' were listening to lots of old music and i got into this one. It's sad how nowadays most songs have no meanings but if you listen to songs from the 90's, there is a story behing most. Whether it be about love, death or sorrow. This is one of my favourite songs of all time and i wish all music was as good as this song is. This songs is timeless and so is the band. <3

  • is this guy white or black? Damnit... i hate to say it but i think hes black. oh well its a great song anyways. lol

  • @jason111888 He's white.

  • love the groove at 2:40

  • i had a comment that got three thumbs up on here, nbd

  • Great song. However, I saw them live and as they try not to be full of themselves, that's exactly what they become.

  • The 1990's America's golden age.....

  • Muito linda essa musica.

  • Robert Downey Jr had dreds?

  • @spofforththeowl fuck you

  • Adam and David wrote this song about when you leave people and their life, you are actually leaving yourself in the end........I listen to this song everyday, because it is poignant and hit's home...........Alway's one of my fave songs......Peace.....B

  • I believe the song is about what was important to you as a kid, and what is important as an adult, we are prepared for the future by being constantly told what to do, but our standards are like staying up late and having no patience seemed more significant, now that we are older we realize that what was important back then doesn't mean jack shit if being so self conceited means losing what you hold near and dear to yourself, what is truly important in life. Love. Wouldn't you say so?

  • Do Not Read This Cause It Actually Works.You Will Be Kissed On The Nearest Friday Possible Friday By The Love Of Your Life.Tomorrow Will Be The Best Day Of Your Life.However If You Dont Post This Commet On At Least 3 Videos You Will Die Within The Next 2 Days Now Youve Started Reading This Dont Stop.This Is Scary Put This On At Least 5 Video In 143 Minutes When Your Done Press F6 And YOur Lovers Name Will Appear On The Screen In Big Letters This Is So Scary Cause It Works!

  • Love them, they are awesome live..i believe he was dating Jenifer Aniston during this time. just sayin...

  • i don't understand the video. are all the people trying to commit suicide? Like the man purposly getting dehydration in the desert as he wonders(what do the clocks represent?), the woman drowning herself, the other woman trying to get hit by a car/the singer trying to get hit by a train?

  • One of my guilty pleasure songs(I'm more into metal).

  • @roguelead72 why limit yourself to only metal in the first place?

  • @sTapleEVA It's my preferred style of music, but limiting oneself to single style of music is boring, so I don't.

  • This song makes me miss the 90's so much :(

  • i always thought it should say "we tame just like lions and we sacrifice like lambs"

  • first cd i ever bought

  • BEAUTIFUL SONG. But quality of the video.. not great?

  • this song is perfection.......I never get tired of listening to this album..............after allllllllll of these years.......B

  • @briantfenton I think that twenty years from now I'll still enjoy this song as if I was hearing it for the first time.

  • nice boots

  • this song made me cry in the 90s and still get me to cry in 2011

  • @ zfelps your a Cunt .

  • Who the hell is Maria???

  • @0966cowboy i think she came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand?

  • Counting Crows is a unique band. Man that's creativity.

  • Comment removed

  • I heard this song first time back in 94, i was 17 and didnt speak english. i remember i cried while i was listening, dont know why. now im 34 and understand the lyrics. you know what? I dont need to. I always knew what this song is all about, thats how great this song is. it breaks the bounderies of languaje and touch your heart whatever languaje you speak

  • @TheFranc77 cool story bro...

  • @TheFranc77 i was 18, and there was no mp3, i have to wait to 1995 when i could buy the cassette...i still have it.

    one of my favorite bands

  • @TheFranc77 yeah man. music is universal.

  • @TheFranc77

    that is something I've loved about counting crows ever since I was 7..I would hear my mom listening to them and I'd be filled with emotions that I just didn't understand, I'd feel happy and sad and all twisted up inside and I couldn't understand why. Now I realize this is what music is supposed to be. Music should make you feel something and music should be universal and you proved that :)

  • @TheFranc77 i´m 34,too.I felt the same way

  • @TheFranc77 yo tbtengo 34;me siento igual que tu pero me invade un sentimiento de tristeza

  • this song gives me shivers.

  • I just went on the most epic journey to get to this song. Went from listening to Maroon 5, to Katy Perry, then from Katy to A Fine Frenzy. Then RJA to Hinder then Creed, then Matchbox Twenty and finally here. I thought I forgot what good music was. Then I remembered youtube is my best friend when it comes to reminding me.

  • The Greatest Song of ALL time.

  • Hootie has a really great voice.

  • wow.... the lead singer looks nothing like I thought

  • As soon as i hear that intro man it sparks up so many memories and emotions. such a simple little riff but, really hits me.

  • My Favourite song of all time poetically beautiful :)

  • @insightful01 The whole 'August & Everything After' album is poetry. Adam Duritz doesn't get nearly enough credit for his songwriting...best of his generation, in my opinion. Another one of my favorites from that album is "Omaha"...check it out.

  • @hwjackson11 My favourite albulm of all time well that & live across a wire. Seen them a few times too amazing group although Sat nite sun morning not so great. If you get a chance have a listen to a guy called Ben Howard that boy sure can write a good song too & is a magician on a guitar. Gd wknd to ya HW

  • I played this song for my highschools talent show. One of the most religious musical experiances of my life.. nothings toped it yet :)

  • If you dont think this song is beautiful......... Your a Cunt.Fact.

    

  • @sauer2506 funny

    

  • Respond to this video...  i forgot about this song xxx

  • Respond to this video...  the lead singer has no teeth?

  • @sauer2506 You're a cunt* Watch them Homophones.

  • @sauer2506 Its you're; You're a cunt for not getting the most easiest contraction to distinguish.

  • @jackotamo Your "Its" should be "It's." If YOU'RE going to be a smartass about grammar, you probably shouldn't have said "most easiest," dumb fuck, get your shit together.

  • @BAgoalie01 LOL WAY TO TAKE THE BAIT YOU GOT TROLLOLOLOLOLED

  • @jackotamo ...yepp you got me good I'm just so pissed right now idk what to do with myself

  • @BAgoalie01 you must be so fucking pissed right now

  • @sauer2506 If you think this is beautiful, ur a fucking retard! Rammstein is beautiful rofl

  • @sauer2506 Btw, being an idiot who can't accept that other people might have different tastes than your own makes you a cunt. Fact.

  • @sauer2506 YOU'RE, a cunt, for not knowing the difference between you're and your.

  • @markesqable Attempting to correct someones inproper usage of you're/your. Then with a punctuation mistake? As well as using vulgar langauge? So far I have found you out to be the "cunt".

    -Lycan.

  • @TehLycan umad? Don't be mad bro. You "cunt". Fact. You don't like this song? Well you're a fuckin cunt, than.

  • @markesqable No sir, I am not mad. As well I do in fact like this song. On a side note, why did you use quotation marks on "cunt" i was quoting your usage of it. Bloody twat.

    -Lycan

  • @markesqable It's THEN not than. Don't be a grammar nazi if you don't even know the differences.

  • @TehLycan he's not a cunt, he's a cock

  • @markesqable bit harsh

  • @markesqable differerice = fail

  • @markesqable wow dude ur a fail troll. why does it matter how someone spells. dont u have anything better to do than troll utube

  • @Magooskii

    *facepalm*

    Learn how to spell, you idiot.

    1/10, that's the best I can do. Now go troll somewhere else.

  • @R1colientje fuck you and your sister

  • @markesqable Should I mention that those commas are unnecessary and grammatically incorrect?

  • @sauer2506 then we are two...

    he is a very good singer but most of their songs suck, and so does his outfit

  • Where is the music like this now?

  • Comment removed

  • giving me chills. man, i miss this

  • song for freaks
