Adam makes a few key changes to the lyrics in this version compared to the original hit single. These changes reflect his changed perspective on fame after the commercial success of the Counting Crows. A really fascinating paradox between a kid who's hoping to be famous and a depressed man who is growing weary of the spotlight
@kelly27002 If you didnt find out already you can look for the album "Across A Wire: Live in New York City" it was released in 1998 by Geffen Records.
This is one of my top 3 favorite songs of all time, and this is my favorite version of it. Adam's improvisation and the emotional depth in his lyrics are brilliant.
Youtube took all the VH1 Storytellers videos down i guess. But i loved watching these. HYSML is one of my favourites off this album. But they all rock.

what the hell this isnt anything like the original not even the same words whats wrong with you ppl.i thought you would atleast know the difference big al downing best this isnt the same words it doesnt even follow the original
Slightly modified, some lines different. Duritz slightly rewrote it and usually sings these lyrics in concert. The music is hecka different, but I love it this way.
There used to be the whole storytellers version up, nice that youtube has to take down stuff like that, while there's thousands of movies and stuff still on here.
this is way better than the origanal version by them.:)
