Counting Crows - Washington Square Studio

[Thisisfun45]

Once again BOOM! these guys are the bomb.

[theatlantisrise]

I loved like a fountain // and it left me with nothing.

How beautifully depressing. I relate so much to it.

[JustLongo]

How can you dislike this? Who is the one person?

Oh, the dishonor.

[justbeamensch]

I also like Innerstellar Overdrive on the first Pink Floyd LP and Ravel's Piano Concerto in G.

[justbeamensch]

well crafted music, I'm an old geezer and I like them.

[salregan]

Gorgeous

[AaronF526]

I did a cover of Washington Square on acoustic guitar. Check it out.

[tattoofthesun]

if only they did this for EVERY song, and for each guy too, especially charlie, all the things he does.... immy too for that matter but especially adam. imagine, just imagine seeing them do "a murder of one" or fucking "high life" my GOD

i'd just be alright with imaging it but with these clips I want more

[clearclearnaznaz]

why you give this up for teaching i would not have

[RXkingdiamond]

i'm amazed at u young girls and guys that still have taste for music....keep it up

[boodee83]

Adam Duritz, A TRUE POET.

[saint7211]

...mój samochów pełny jest dźwięków Counting Crows,Washington Square piękne,przejmująca harmonijka,dźwięki wypełniają samochód i mój środek...po latach dojrzalej odbieram ich muzykę...polecam wszystkim na początek płynnej drogi przez Counting Crows :)

[gothmamafreedom]

Wow guys,  extrememly beautiful; perfect and fitting.

[TheLan1965]

The Counting Crows songs play a big role through all the good and bad times in my life from the beginning they started with their first album. Adams lyrics made me realise I am not alone "out here" with these feelings that are so confusing.

I wish I lived in America, so I could see more "live" concerts. I was @ Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam and I had so much fun, allthough I went there totally alone at a very difficult time in my live!

Continue to play please.... Bunnyonacid, Amsterdam.

[niteu]

My personal favorite CCs song, I played it for my seventy something year old aunt when I was helping her and my uncle pack the apartment they had lived in since I remember. . . we both cried . . .

[deephot]

I never get tired of listening to Counting Crows... even after 17 years. I can't say that about any other band. It's almost like this song was written for me, as is the case with most of CC's music. Adam's lyrics are poems, actually... ambiguous and impressionistic. This makes listening to CC's music a very personal, introspective experience. Also, the arrangements and instrumentation are brilliant and perfectly crafted. I think we fans feel like Adam Duritz surely must know us.

[deephot]

These guys paint beautiful pictures with their music. I am 40 years old, and I've been listening to CC since I was in my early 20s. This song is a great example of their expert craftsmanship and artistry. The song is so dense. There are so many layers and it works on so many levels, yet it somehow feels/sounds so effortless and airy. How do they do it? CC has spoken to me and comforted me in so many ways over the years. Can't imagine life without this music.

[deephot]

I've been listening to this band faithfully since their first release back in the early '90s. I have seen them twice in concert, too, including a show in Berkeley when I was in college. The Greek Theatre in Berkeley is an outdoor amphitheater. It was the Recovering the Satellites tour and the Hale-Bopp comet was in clear view overhead during the show. Magical night. I'm a musician, and these guys amaze me. What craftsmen. Their music so complex, yet feels effortless and subtle. Perfect band.

[geridg]

"I wondered the highways, from Dublin to Berkley.

and I heard the songbirds of Ballyporeen.

But I loved like a fountain, and it left me with nothing.

Just memories of walking

through Washington Square" :(

[swj1975]

glad to see the younger people in here showing appreciation for this group. I have been a fan since their first CD hit back in 1993. I've seen them in concert and they are brilliant. I will never stop listening to these guys and every CD they make just is great. I still listen to them atleast once a day!

[Xzarel]

this song is simply insane

INSANE

everything in it is perfect...melody,lyrics,adam himself...

[eegadzz]

quite simply one of the most beautiful songs CC's have ever written. amazing song... you can feel every note.Put your headphones on, drift off and let the days worries just melt away...

[KingJackieTheWicked]

Favorite song by Counting Crows.

[Cinnamontoast94]

I absolutely adore this band. they are amazing. this is easily my favourite song of theirs - <3

[rallyeman16]

beautiful..

[mag666gam]

Adam you are a fantastic singer and songwriter but for the love of god shave.

[40YearsInDesert]

this is going to become an NYU anthem!

[tx898]

as crazy as Adam is he writes some amazing songs I love this song

[jkl0031]

I heard an interview he did on Stern a year or so ago. Is he really crazy to the point where he has to take pills or he's essentially schizophrenic?

His songs make me wonder what type of paintings he would make if he chose that as his form of expression instead of music.

[tx898]

I heard him on Howard Stern few months ago he hears voices all the time and is quite looney. I dare say his art would be brillian probaly abstract and beautiful becuase he is still a beautiful person.

[MrG123d]

this is an amazing song and the album is great but nothing compares to "august and everything after" for me anyway

[singingandsighing]

Counting Crows are life! Listen to the humanity of their sound; thoughtful, sad, joy, peace, alive! I owe much to their music. Thank you.

[balldude88]

Tonight in Clearwater, FL !

[Betelguese1]

I saw the Crows last night at Chastain Park in Atlanta. It's an awesome, high energy show. Sadly for me, they didn't play this song (which I love) although I am not sure it would translate well to a live venue anyway.

[gloriaesmy001]

i love this song.

and im teenager (14)

if other people my age would listen to counting crows it would be great.

he's so poetic.

i love his music.

it's so real.

this is my is my fav. song of them.

2nd is round here.

[TestMiNuh]

these guys are vicious. i used to listen to them when i was 14 too, i'm 28 now.

[nagertrank]

I really like the way you think :)

well..

I am 17 and i don't know why people listen to music without any background..

My favourite is still the acoustic version of Have you seen me lately :)

[rosygirl52]

@nagertrank

i agree on the acoustic have you seen me lately, it's beautiful. and i'm glad there is some other teenagers (i'm 15) out there who appreciate truly amazing music :)

[lilbamboon1392]

@nagertrank Aren't they amazing :)

I'm absolutley amazed by Adam's lyrics, and just the entire presence of the band. I can't decided on a favorite. I never have been able to. I really can't because every single song is a continuation of the on-going story. The thing I find most amazing is that somehow I can complete relate to every song I've heard by them. (19 years old) by the way been listening to them since i was 10

And for the most part they like it. They all say its too depressing though. I just laugh. But I love there music, it is awesome!

[Smorgasboards]

[TheDarealmarcelinho]

[Insomniac964]

@gloriaesmy001 i'm 15 and i've been listening to counting crows for years :) adam duritz is seriously my favourite lyricist <3

[LockeH27]

@gloriaesmy001 I get shivers (17) every time the acoustic version of Angles of the Silences or Round Here plays on the first CD of the Across a Wire set...Came out when I was 3. Loved it since 9. Still do. Timeless.

[unsollazzoxsempre]

@gloriaesmy001 hey i'm 15 and i love the counting crows. But i prefer the crows of 15 years ago. the best song is round here for sure.

[GaldonEyeStudios]

[ilovebnl16]

fav Counting Crows Song....

[surrealIdeal]

[surrealIdeal]

I see, it's Charlie Gillingham...

[Kiathira]

one of the best bands ever!!!!

[shockme25159]

awesome job!

[andrewlawler]

Saw them perform this live here in Dublin last week... great song!

[rachelclarkofficial]

Lucky! I wish I could be there but I'm in the US :(

[captainpaintcan]

This is possibly my favorite counting crows song, its beautiful, its so pure and the video furthers that point by showing them recording it, it looks looks their just jamming and having fun

[swj1975]

been my favorite group since the day they released August and everything after. Saw them in concert back in the day and it was great!

[TiggyRumpton]

Sooo beautiful. My favourite band in the entire world. They just get you into that mellow emotional place like no-one else can. Adam's voice makes me cry.

[jc2140]

This is a great track from "Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings," their latest release, and definitely a nice addition to their previous (August and Everything After, Recovering the Satellites, This Desert Life, Hard Candy) releases. If you haven't listened to much of them, check out their compilation, Films About Ghosts, a nice retrospective. Glad the band is recording again.

[Timpoo67]

I live in Dublin, I never saw this guy wandering around the highways.

[EruptionINmyPants]

ditto lol

[Renitamac]

"Time is a number that rests on a wall".....I LOVE that line.

[bbollmeier77]

Words cannot express how much I love this song. Counting Crows are phenomenal...

[4CAR2112]

My thoughts exactly!!

[peacegirl999]

right on.

[Snotface119]

I heard this on the radio at work, wrote some of the lyrics on my hand, came home and 'Googled' them and haven't been able to stop listening to this since!

Beautiful lyrics, a perfect ensemble and one incredible voice makes for good listening in my opinion :)

Cracking (Y)

[nodahanshin44]

awesome.  welcome to the club.

[NatalieCA]

There is something about

"Sold my piano, it couldn't come with me"

that is just so sad to me....I love it! Counting Crows will forever be my favorite band...I feel sorry for those who have yet to discover them...they have changed my life.

[nancyspirit1957]

They are the best. Their lyrics always seem to reverberate through my soul and they seem to know me. Always have. Thank you, especially Adam Duritz!

[cloud9west]

Great song. Great arrangements. Thanks, Crows!

[tx898]

makes me cry every time

[patchmack2]

to see them lay down such an intricate track like this in the studio just shows how talented they really are and how well they work together....fantastic band...

[jonaslove0330]

this song is sooo peaceful.

it calms me down so much

[c04427041]

This song references Gemma Hayes when it talks about "songbirds of ballyporeen"

[wsmith01]

Absolutely fantastic song. The way it progressively builds and builds to the harmonica solo before pulling back to the piano again gets me every time.

I've always loved the Crows, and biased as I am, I really think this whole disc is one of their best endeavors.

[Beaumont020]

big fan of counting crows.

[1995natalie1995]

cool song :)

[jimparnell]

I love this song, it does remind me of the early days. It's about time!

[Chicolitolv]

The most beautiful sky song....also Las Vegas...without the Neon....I do remember...At night

[kjk36]

The way the music comes together at 1:45 is so sweeping and perfect, and is wonderfully timed. It reminds me of a moment in one of their earlier songs, "Holiday in Spain", where a similar musical effect is reached.

Bottom line: Adam Duritz & Co. are just so good.

[Jbriere1]

I love this song - I love most Counting Crow songs - but this one in particular always makes me stop what I'm doing and just listen!! Absolutely amazing - Great job CC's :)

[DavidDjinn]

damn.. so not into this type of music.

but this song is amazing.

it's sooooo relaxing.

one of those mellow songs you could listen to basically doing anything.

[dollsettones]

fucking hell, this should be rammed with comments! does noone realise how good this is? incredible song! and amazing structure! what a great band still making quality music.

[gypsygirl57]

charlie reminds me of shroeder at his piano... :)
