Counting Crows - On a Tuesday in Amsterdam long ago

[PtrOBrn]

over 3,000 songs on my iPod and this one is my #1 most played song.

[Koennie78]

can't get enough of this song. i only don't get it why it's called "on a tuesday in Amsterdam..." when he's mentioning Dublin and Stephens Green. that's Not in Amsterdam Adam!!! But i don't care coz i love Dublin more then Amsterdam

[JustZac]

@Koennie78 I always took it as he was remembering all of this and feeling it on a Tuesday morning in Amsterdam. In "Perfect Blue Buildings" he sings "4:30 am on a Tuesday, I don't get much worse than this"... Relatible? Maybe. I love the fact that his song share tidbits like this so we can try to link them together. It is part of what makes his song writing so brilliant to myself...

[buddytyree]

@Koennie78 Picture of Amsterdam... bare trees under glass.

[DK138nzsk]

still makes me cry

[toxic1632]

simplicity....s



[BjdacH]

Great Song!



[theclefe]

"She is the film of the book of the story of the smell of her hair." I love that line.

[HoboMC94]

Someone please make a piano tutorial for this song

[bebenurse62]

breathtakingly beautiful

[tattoofthesun]

if only they did this with a stairway effect... had the drums and guitars kick in around 3:00 or something, a surprise slow cooker then a fade up into a beat...

[buddytyree]

@tattoofthesun That's a somewhat trite way to end a song honestly. I think it's better the way it is.

[tattoofthesun]

@buddytyree your argument is valid indeed. perhaps they even thought such ideas through

[cypts1]

@elena2717...Our song of the day

[lornaq2ray]

@95831Lily it goes through me to, and i do listen to it over and over and over in my car for me true lost love who died.

[mrkous18]

this is what i think true music is

[95831Lily]

This just rips through my heart.....I can listen to this over and over again......

[graeshadow]

The last time I saw the last great love of my life was on Saint Stephen's Green in Dublin. I'd forgotten Adam references it in this song. So gorgeous, so heartbreaking.

8:16 in the morning



[countingcrows123]

This song (and every other CC song) is fiilled with such beautiful lyrics and music.

Damn..

[meridon12]

This is my favourite song in the whole world, can never get sick of it <3

[saint7211]

...idealny powrót,tęsknota,radość...ach co to za "kawałek"...polecam wybrednym

[erik81subaru]

@saint7211 thats exactly what i was thinking..

[eneryma]

just amazingly beautiful 

[WriteNRockit]

I like "She is the film of the book of her story of the smell of her hair."

[iknowitstrue1]

@WriteNRockit absolut <3

[maiertez]

Adam Duritz is a genius. His lyrics are pure poetry.

[matthegeek]

@maiertez yes even if at times he is pushing it to make sense :oP but yet, they work somehow lol...

[Bluexxtears]

awesome song

[lschmoopie]

Hauntingly beautiful....

[markwordsworth]

To put it simply... Perfect!

[iknowitstrue1]

its a knitting of a lorenz attractor

[cheerbearlovable]

wooow

i almost cry =^,-,`=

5***** and fav it

ok.bye bye.♂♂

[bgierat]

Great song.....lyrics...delicate piano..vocals.....whew.

[njstband]

August and Everything after is the obvious best but G.Damn, To be SO amazing for soo long. Ya gotta give it up to a true artist.

[jesscanrock]

I love Adam's tone, but he seems kind of whiny in this one. Most of the time I like the sorrowful emotion he attaches through his voice, but I think its a little much in this one. But thats just my opinion.

[MyNameIsJonas574]

I agree with you, but I guess the topics covered in the lyrics deserve to be sung like that, many emotions, lots of sorrow: ''When everything's over, everything's clear, everyone's older, and no one is here''...only my point of view...excuse my poor English! Cheers!

[jesscanrock]

@MyNameIsJonas574 You're English was fine, no worries :) and you have a really great point.

[andremyr]

A lot of emotions there! I love this song :)

[Fraaffyyy]

so poetic

[DaveTheFuckingBrave]

i'm still not sure if i like that album..i like the first half, the more rock songs especially 1492 is great..i also like some of the end half, but i think duritz doesnt sing as well as he did on august and everything after...hmm i dont know man..its a good song, but his desperate crys at the end..i dont know.. he has a kind of too "extreme" singing-style in parts of the songs..

i dont know..i prefer august and everything after and this desert life

[Gamemaster520tj]

i never want to hear this song again

[TuxTape]

Amazing song.

[robertobhro]

so much passion in this song... amazing. I Love it!

[diegoamerezrocks]

"She is the film of the book of the story, of the smell of her hair."

Exquisite.

[Pansandjam]

hated that line,,,so bad.

[alfory01]

Holey Moley.....powerfully understated

[cusefan248]

Heres how it went down-

Discover Colorblind- omg, this is amazing. They're gunna have a hard time matching this one.

Discover Raining in Baltimore- omg, this is amazing! there gunna have a hard time matching this and colorblind

dicover this- well, u get it.

Keep reelin' out the hits, guys. you never cease to amaze me.

[mattman919191]

same ere never cease 2 amaze me shame they do get more credit around the world lik they should

[diegoamerezrocks]

wait till you get hit by something from August and Everything After...you won't stop flying through the air.

[kane966]

mm agreed.  Best album ever written

[gruenviolet]

you are so right..

[pyros411]

....

breathtaking.

Adam is beautiful.

[Ferriswheeljunky]

"Everything's over. Everything's clear. Everyone's older. No one is here."

wow

[ckad79]

By far the best song on the new album...

[Nopfi]

straight to my heart.... amazing.... and excellent...

*sniff* :)

[joanlagoy]

I love this....thanks, joanie

[Mariekesone]

Excellent Piano and what a song...

The Crows are amazing, i am so happy i have heard them live recently:-)

[yellowrainslicker]

the crows NEVER get old!!! this is so amazinggg! You can the pain in his voice "come back to me, come back to me....."

[stuckinbarcy]

perfect!

[Ckw200]

my god...is there a better songwriter out there that's better than Adam? the Piano is amazing!

[Chicolitolv]

I have loved this song from the moment I heard it...Thank you, Adam, I have had a love like that...

[whothat7788]

hits u right where it hurts

[Chicolitolv]

It hurts so much it is REAL!! I Think he thinks this as much as I do???

[rekceh07]

adam duritz is the whole sense of a good song writer. counting crows is by far one of the best bands out there. i can feel their heart

[xwxlx]

I don't know how many girls have fucked over Adam Duritz throughout the course of his life, but, i've gotta say, I hope they continue to, cos it seems to bring the best songs out of him. Raining in Baltimore, A Long December, I wish I was A Girl and now this, which is up there with all those. He seems like one of those guys who writes best when he's pining/pissed off/wronged. Fantastic song.

[robertobhro]

agree! the songs you've mentioned are by far my favourite songs too.

[teacherofcrazy]

i love this song, it's so beautiful. this guy is talented, and the piano is...lovely. this song is so touching and so sad.

[carol1free]

girl on a wire... whew! such beautiful piano

[oldrin85]

wow.. i've replayed it so many times already, can't get enough of it..

[shshmz]

Parfait.

[shshmz]

love the big clock.

[shshmz]

I LOVE the lyrics.

[lillysfiresoul]

it hurts.

[alissewonder]

It hurts

[eryeblack]

it does

[cowgirl40]

Wow-- is this guy talented or what? Absolutely beautiful. (Sigh)

[shshmz]

I Love this song 2. Av come back 2 u.

[fetobe69]

damn... just perfect... Muchas Gracias

[akdenney]

Beautiful. I just got the CD a few weeks ago. And just "discovered" this song a few days ago. God they are the best band ever. Thanks Adam.

[LaylaRaine13]

beautiful!!!!!

[rudymania]

This is a song that is deep in all of our hearts. Thanx, Adam.

[ZeppelinFan7777]

made me cry the day i got the new cd and listened to it simply a beautiful song thanks adam

[FolkeBernadotte]

i haven't cried for a long time.. sometimes you just need to cry, but nothing triggers it. this did it for me.. I'm not surprised though.. adam is THE poet

[oconnorcd]

Yes they are coming to VA Bch, VA on the 25th of July. Who is going to that concert. Its just ten minutes down the street from where I live.

[LegalEagle00]

Amen!

[Waku1845]

Yes! They are back!!!

[LegalEagle00]

Truly extraodinary. Reminds me of all the people I've lost.

[driftingout]

Great Video, Just Adam & Charlie. Beutiful song, probably best on the album. This sits easily with Raining in Baltimore,Long December etc.

Good to see you back guys!

Come back to me and tour the U.K

[duritz1989]

there is no voice like his. his sound is so unique and distinctive. something about it seems so clean and clear. you can tell now adays who can actually sing or not and this proves how raw and talented his singing voice is.

[robertvosmeijer]

unbelieveable

just makes me cry on this one!

beautiful

[erikcarlgren]

so fucking good
