[darlenemcclelland]

I wanna "come home" on a Sunday morning. I just want to go and BE HOME..... Somewhere in America, MY somewhere. I LOVE ALL of your video. Very heartfelt.

[darlenemcclelland]

I thought it was LOVELY. I also liked the background sounds from YOUR video. It said HOME... It said, Omaha................ Somewhere. Getting right to the heart of matters, it's the heart that matters more..................... <3

[crf2006]

[Ladyburg299]

[StevenKellyBelly]

the sweet genesee valley

[autumnjrain]

I love youtube where you can see videos like this; a person's idea/perception of the song.

[ggmasterg]

I think you just fucked up the whole song bu adding your video and sound to it...not good!

[beezy272]

At 1:03 they do what I call a SHOTGUN!!. beer straight to the dome baby .. YEAH!!!... and Alfred University is cool man..

[zobianajo]

alfred U rocks ( kind of )

[TheNelenaxoxo]

i live in omaha and i'm proud of it! second famous band to write a song about omaha. Justin Bieber wrote about the Westroads Mall in Omaha.

[B29Bomber]

@TheNelenaxoxo course he would write about the fucking mall...

great video tho.

[groovylocks]

The funny thing about counting crows is how sad they make me. I love this album but every time i listen to it, i feel so sad. Not sure if it's because his bedroom voice is so mournful or because i listened to this album during a very sad time in my life. I figure they're fairly entertwined.

[jazzflyers]

good song , video is pretty gay.

[patchesohollahan]

I live in Omaha. It's just like this. Chock full of guys in gym shorts wailing on a dude in armor. Drinking beer, however, is unheard of. Unless it's corn beer.

[eskyguard]

I lived in Omaha in the summer of '07, it is a great town.

[modblush]

i fucking love this song

[holyshitrock456]

fuck it, im in grade 12, i have 15 days of school left, and im getting drunk on a monday night!!! i may be only getting 60's n 70's but thats good enough for me. its funny how you can miss so many days of school over the limit and they still pass you cuz when you do show up you get good marks on tests and whatnot. YEEE

[fiftysixthandwabasha]

Awesome song! not a bad video idea

[sugardelilah]

who gives a rats tutu about grammar, the real issue is you fucking a good song with your pathetic homosexual video

[sugardelilah]

your a fuckhead you loser!

[brisk76]

@sugardelilah learn proper grammar, it makes you look like an idiot. you and are become you're. so as i see it YOU'RE the fuckhead.

[jreindy]

@3:12 lol, she's yackin' away and he's takin' a bite of his ice cream watchin'

[BlackOpsCraving]

so the dude in the beginning was actually trying to hurt him lol

[caitsy25]

I'm sitting in bed listening to Counting Crows song with my boyfriend Anthony Marchillo and he asked me to play Omaha because he likes the song a lot...and when we watched it we see that he is IN the video! Thanks Pat!

[simyan2008]

sometimes i wish i lived in america, all that space, uk is really overcrowded you guys are really lucky to have so much open space and wilderness, i'm jealous.

also if u shotgun a beer in public here you'll get busted ;)

[MrMatthewgross]

Ahhhh the keyhole shotguns...:)

[justinholt2000]

[Frankbunny]

That was a very cool video

[kateperryfan92]

[beezy272]

A lot of Mexican and white people in Omaha its a crazy town, I've been there its pretty cool man way better than Chicago.

[mymellowtears]

not a huge fan of the video, but the song is amazing. " get right to the heart of matters, it's the heart that matters more. "

[abbeyrose01]

adam duritz is so gorgeous.

[bubs7569]

i love recording out the window in the car like that

[BillionDollarZombie]

WTF>?

lol. 

[showmefunnyvids]

its just like he said "a collection of random videos I had on my computer". and to be honest i liked it more than watching a freaking picture of the artist. But back on topic, counting crows is sick

[fefboy]

I am currently LVL 59, and have about 60 mil coins. I've truly only been trying to play for 2 weeks. For those who wish to know the correct way I got that far take a look at beatcafeworldXcom (replace X with . )

[howdidienduphere]

I don't get it. So, there's nothing for kids in Omaha to do except play swordfight, golf, and drink beer? I love this song, but the video doesn't seem to fit.

[Twilightfan5811]

i love this song andi live in omaha!!

[FiveOfSpades5]

1.your reading my comment 2.now your thinking that was a stupid fact 4.you didn't notice I skiped 3 5.your checking it now 6.your smileing 7.your still reading my comment 8.you know all you have read is true 10.you didn't notice I skiped 9 11.yor checking right now 12.you didn't noticetgere were only supposed to be 10 facts Copy and paste to 1video and tomorow will be the best ...lol xD

[bassmaster456]

[bigsurhiker]

What the hell did I just watch?

[funtastik1985]

1:00 yea you showed him armor boy

[Lima547]

Cool! I wish I was with you guys!

[crossbar88]

classic

[frost270]

cool video. i noticed the S.C. state flag and was curious if anyone was from South Carolina?

[tamlin10]

i thought this was a cover of moby grapes omaha, obviously not, but it sounds great! alfred u., in new york state? if so i played a gig at the university in the mid 80s!

[pbaynes772]

Yes to AU! Awesome.

[beezy272]

@pbaynes772 My brother goes to UNO!!.. it's awesome man

[BiGGraff100]

Alfred State

[BiGGraff100]

@tamlin10 Yea dude, Ny lol

[bikobs]

Strangely enticing collection of videos. Does not seem random at all, but still not sure of the author's intentions, which makes it SEEM random.

Right to the heart of matters.

[JoesephKatana]

@bikobs

This is a collection of random videos I had on my computer to the song Omaha by Counting Crows.

lol

I like it tho

[iTsSeCrEtPerDuE]

OK, Look you guys, There is no reason to beat up on this person! He had an idea to put all these videos together and use a GREAT Counting Crows song, and you guys are ganging up on him! I think that is wrong, and if you dont like the video, ask the person if they are willing to accept opinions on how to make the video better, AND BE NICE ABOUT IT. Im only 14 but I feel like I have more common sense then half the world sometimes. Sorry if I upset you!

[ezekieloak]

Yeah, except at like 2:40. I want to hear the music, not the sound of some guy...  what... ? Pissing in a trash can? How to you consider that respectful to the music?

[milde0505]

yeah dont mix the audio from your home vids with counting crows. not a good mix.

[wlwak]

I have to say that I was interested in the video. It seemed like a pretty harmless collection of people doing pretty harmless things and I can't understand why there are so many moaners. And the 'gay' slurs are weird to me. It's like you aren't allowed to have friends unless you actually do physical harm to each other othewise someone will accuse you of secretly wanting to fuck each other....says more about the commentators if you ask me.

[chercherchercher]

@wlwak It is the heart that matters more.

[LaShnike]

lol i troll u

[calaracho]

most stupid stupid video ever

[DAEDALUSesq]

wtf is that clip from AU campus? random thing to throw in there....

[thebadgers1]

Alfred Univ is in NY...geography is not taught there.

[calaracho]

dumbest video i have ever seen

[jussvicious]

I've lived here all my life and have not seen a mountian ridge like that! They call this area the "Flat  Lands" for a reason....hell 90% of the video dont look like Omaha!

[devilskin345]

the song is called omahah dick head

[jussvicious]

Oh, thanks for your positive input!

God Bless.

[woofycalling]

Not from Omaha, San Francisco. This is a beautiful song and brings up positive images of your town -- but this email is juvenile and unessarily stupid. Thanks for posting the song, a lovely one, but find better images than a guy beating the crap out of another and boozing. Sorry, hrrobly bad taste. Omaha?

[animefan4567]

@woofycalling i'd be offended if it wasnt somethin common but granted thats everywhere, drunk people fight where ever theres booze

[woofycalling]

@animefan4567 Indeed. Just wonder about people sometimes. I have a good heart as I know everyone does in their core. Thanks for your note

[datasupa]

I thought this song was about Obama

[Quixsilver2003]

...what??

[myhouseman]

I've lived a long life so far to 50. Omaha is a great place to live and raise your family. Warren Buffett brought prosperity here like Solomon did Jerusalem. I lived in Chattanooga, Memphis, Daytona Beach, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Chicago, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and Omaha. Omaha wins even though the wind blows cold and there is no great lake or ocean here. Counting Crows did OK by this number but the video needs some work. Thanks for the posting.

[lassilars]

This is not Counting Crows's video for this song.

I'm not sure if CC got a video for this song at all....or??

[jaquasjunk]

how about some new omaha shit whats up dont fade like everyone else ..peace..

[arkdominators25]

dude omaha is more gangsta now lol

[LaShnike]

I miss Omaha - even though someone got stabbed, another person got beaten, and another person got stabbed all on my block during the daytime.

Oh Omaha! Such a charmingly dirty river town.

[Brandonp76]

Had a certain charm to it.

[JimTannn]

thb333, you called everyone a fag. Yet, if any of you go to his you tube page, he has a video that's just dudes working out, a guy with his shirt off showing his abs, and a john mayer video. The rest of his videos are just guys playing with bait. If your going to call people fags, maybe you should stop posting videos that have guys with their shirts off.

[BigNoseMusic]

maybe that´s the reason.. that he calls people it..

[bhart2408]

Ur a fag! LOL!

[dragonfitter]

that kid with the stick hit the dude in armour is a dead ringer for my younger brother

[KamiKaziChicken]

Great video

[Iaminthecloset]

that's a pretty shitty golfcourse

[foreveraien]

i prefer Moby Grape

[akarathrace]

jesus. when i saw the first 30secs. i said these guys gotta be from buffalo area. Alfred is the flagship drinking college(s) of NYS.

[mookeez]

Just F.Y.I. everyone - keep your eyes out for the next "Omaha" video montage. It will be here soon.

[hcchasemagic]

i m from D.C. and visit my friend in Omaha all the time. God damn some wonderful people there! some of the best times I ve ever had. god bless middle america.

[killaflow9]

[animefan4567]

@sydneycarton79 hahaha nice one

[ilamoka]

I want to go to Omaha so bad.

[kufnnssc]

This is a pretty good song. Just checking to see if these guys would be any good to see in concert. They're going to be in concert in Sioux City tomorrow.

[sptfgpn]

Hope you saved your money. They're crap.

[benatar101]

I live in Omaha! lol

[talisaaa]

great :D

how's life over there? ;)

[benatar101]

wet and rainy....lol

[StarryNights44]

.... hopefully you can still get your money back at the door :)

[renotsecniv]

I have two words - Good song !!!

[zwetzir]

great song writing..great tune..

[Dylan512100]

This song is about D-day... think about it.

[theasphaltblogger]

Omaha is NOT about D-day. Do a little research my friend. You would be surprised what google will teach you:D

[Dylan512100]

Support:

In the middle of the night, there's an old man treading around in the gathered rain: Eisenhower, before the night of the invasion, decided to put it off for a day because of bad weather.

Well mister, if you're going to walk on water

Could you drop a line my way?: Many of the US soldiers could not swim, and as they had not been drilled in amphibious invasions, many sunk and required other soldiers to help them get to shore, or simply drowned.

[Dylan512100]

In addition, it could also mean the US high command was expecting a miracle, as Jesus walking on water was.

Run past the heather and down to the old road: a reference to the terrain of Omaha beach, where soldiers had to advance up the road.

Omaha Somewhere in middle America: this line puzzled me for a while, but in the end, I realized that Omaha was the middle beach, and was also American, so could be classified as "Middle America."

[Dcuzz912]

That actually makes a significant amount of sense, and those who don't at least

acknowledge that are purposely being narrow minded, and short sighted.

[Dylan512100]

I think you better turn your ticket in

And get your money back at the door: This is telling how many of the US soldiers did not sign up for what was happening, and many felt as if they would rather go back and get a refund.

Start threading a needle: the many ships going the thin Normandy bay could be described as "threading a needle."

[Dylan512100]

Hey mister, you don't want to walk on water

you're only going to walk all over me: the bitterness many Americans felt after the invasion having lost friends and family.

Get right to the heart of the matters

It's the heart that matters more : Omaha was the "heart" of the invasion, as it had the most important objectives.

[speedofsugarrush555]

Uuuuummm.... overkill?

[theasphaltblogger]

Dylan, your thoughts are well thought, but that is all. Adam and the band clearly spell out what Omaha is about. All you have to do is google Counting Crows Omaha meaning and I am sure you will find the TRUE meaning behind the song. No disrespect, but you cheapen the work of an artist by trying to spin it to what you want or think it should mean.

[austinracechris]

In attempts of not sounding as utterly patronizing as you ass blogger, I'll try to keep this brief. To insinuate that there is a "true" meaning behind any song is to misunderstand, what most scholars consider, the very end music aims to reach, namely, expression. Who are you to say what the meaning of a song is. Did you ever think that the band might not really know the significance of their own work?

[liveliveliveliving]

game, set and match

[theasphaltblogger]

Austin though your comment is appreciated, your name calling invalidates any credibility you have afterwards. Who am I to say? I am someone that has researched the meanings behind the songs. Someone that appreciates an artistes work and respects what they are trying to express.....You fail to see that I HAVE done my research while others have merely speculated. So with that said, and with no name calling, I bid you adieu.

[austinracechris]

Despite the fact that niceness and credibility don't necessarily positively correlate, I appreciate your niceness. Nevertheless, please forgive my name calling. I acknowledge the importance behind intended meaning inasmuch as I acknowledge a historicist form of criticism. I merely wish that we all additionally acknowledge the validity of a reader response criticism.

[fluffycheep]

To theasphaltblogger: In fairness, isn't that what art is all about though. It is all about what it means to you. Not anyone else...

[BigNug81]

gay

[indiekid2106]

go die, cunt

[PissedOff803]

Excuse me, but your American flag is being displayed improperly, college folk. It needs to be UPSIDE DOWN (unless you are deluding yourselves, which is what the majority of Americans are doing right now!) READ THE CONSTITUTION. Your fun will be coming to an ABRUPT END.

[NewEnglandBMX]

Ecxuse me, you really need to get laid. (unless your a prude homosexual!)GET SOME RECREATION. GO TO A PARTY. You'll realize how GAY YOU REALLY ARE.

[Mari3Mattessich]

don't say gay like it's a bad thing.

oh right, PissedOff803 can go to hell. Delusional freak.

[radio19952001]

gay is bad

[Calmessia]

LOL the puking clip was classic! Nice video =)

[jasonl28806]

Wow, the video wasn't bad at all for some random vids - kind of goes along with that American feel - open road, shotgunning beers, and whacking balls.(heh...)

[wrtrspen]

I live in Omaha. This song makes me proud.

[Bozewani]

What's with the South Carolina and ohio flags?? just curious

[lukeisntgay]

omaha steaks =D

[ch320033]

i have some in my freezer

[pycnapodia]

it is a snap of life and i like that...

[dongster1]

huck the faters.... i really enjoyed your video. I think its artistic, like a snapshot of your life. and the song kicks ass.

[spooky57571]

why is no one talking about the damn song? (which is great) they just keep calling the video gay, so what did you click on this to see a shity video or hear a great fucking song?

[Cocteau120]

giant penis

[stealingvcards]

thats one of the worst golf swings ive ever seen yep omaha sucks even more than i tought

[insomnia100]

omaha sucks

[billytalento]

[poopedmahpants]

omaha.. the only reason nebraska is not a part of the surrounding states

[barbiegurlblonde]

[tottallyadorable]

this video is the gayest thing i've ever seen in my life... meow black

[DavidAames2000]

[2362marshall]

why sad? dickhead

[DavidAames2000]

2 words: Elephant walk...dickhead?

[777BLEU777]

SATANISTS! Like most Rock n' Rollers. Boys Town Gov. Mind Control Pedophile Rape Camp. FACT. Learn.

[jayvlog89FanClub]

Why do americans have an obsession with filming people being sick and peeing in public places?

[tools747]

because americans are ignorant, at least a vast majority of them are haha, i used to live in atlanta, georgia and i must say there are SOME competent ones out there =)

[killerltx]

Well, you know common since really all that common anymore.

[Jibitydo]

FAIL.. hahaha its spelled common "sense" dumb ass, and I'm from Georgia.. So shut up.
