Counting Crows - Colorblind (Pinkpop 2008)

[MrJustinification]

Love this. Such emotion.

[Quest4Redemption]

Why do people have to keep pointing out they are American? Is that further more proof of our arrogance that we have to indoctrinate ourselves into art just to say "I AS AN AMERICAN APROVE OF THIS"???? and this is coming from an American that didn't need to address himself as such out of a need to arrogantly approve this as something Americans approve. Get over yourself!!!

[XListener]

@Quest4Redemption

what a clever way of telling everyone you're american.

[TheOtherEssence]

This sounds nothing like Turning Tables by Adele... Wtf are people talking about? But anyway, great song!

[TiniBago]

Beautiful.

[ywed14]

Im canadian and at 1:03 i literally lol'd

[hengeloor]

egg white, what else ;-)

[hiddymist]

does it say egg white??

[mysoteria7]

I'm American and I wish I would have been there to witness this great performance.

[mysoteria7]

I'm American and Adam Duritz is awesome.

[mysoteria7]

I'm American and this song is really good.

[abernathy0011]

I must make a change and burst out of my shell. This is my blueprint to win her heart back.

[abernathy0011]

This is my soundtrack right now. The woman of my dreams doesn't want to marry me and I'm dying on the inside.

[HighMcDunnough]

I am ready, i am ready i am ready, i am....ironman

[nycbeachbums21]

Best part about this video and performance, the audience is quiet and letting him sing. Not singing over him or anything like that.

[hewusiak]

I have depression and I know exactly how he feels (or that's how it seems to me). It's not always easy to tell yourself you are fine... But you are. This song doesn't make me sad, it makes me hopeful because regardless to who you are, we all question ourselves at some point in our lives and keep going.

[caolanoh1]

When the cello or what ever it is kicks in i get goosebumps again

[bigdazzv6]

just wow!!

[beanisch]

Why my eyes become wet? Wonderful song. Thumbs up for Counting Crows.

[tischersf]

i dont like the people jumping arround only because they are on the screen..they miss the beautiful song

[AZ120807]

<3

[bicnarok]

there´s soul in that man

[TheMek13217]

his hair is fucking great

[GitarHeroInNeverland]

his soul was crying during this song

[califcamper]

I am ready,

I love you all....

[FlowinWhisky]

this is so Power- and Beautiful

[ArmandZach]

hi! here my version, enjoy :)

[TFMRAACY]

Parole banali che una accanto all'altro diventano poesia...come una voce, un interpretazione, una musica possano trasportarti dentro loro, e dentro te...unici...

[TheMacYume]

When you are singing , you'r living your music ...

I love this <3

Congratulations from Paris :)

[ProSkiandBoard]

the thing i like about this is you can feel his emotions from the song the way he sings it and the way he looks when he sings its so touching...

[ginamari]

hermetically sealed comes to mind

[steffie430]

he's putting his heart in the words he sings. i'm so stunned. wow!

[Ireallyhatethistown]

I'm American and I haven't heard a singer quite as stunning as he is. He puts everything into every word he sings. It's poetry. He's my idol.. There's no one else like him.

[buckleygeneration]

@Ireallyhatethistown Great, but how does you being American have anything to do with that whatsoever?

[mrface19]

@buckleygeneration Took the words right out of my fingers...

[bannapwns]

@buckleygeneration ikr

[clab077]

the "i am covered in skin, no one gets to come in" part always gives me goosebumps. i love the very powerful, emotional performances like this one.

[irondarkm]

32 people are gay.

[RoderickBePulling]

God knew what he was doing when he aloud such beautiful music to created

breathtaking

[SupersonicDale]

@RoderickBePulling Pitty that god doesn't exist and that he did it by himself! More breathtaking

[RoderickBePulling]

@SupersonicDale

lol :]

[wheremysparkis]

i think you can see him shaking? ... i haven't seen anything like that

[wheremysparkis]

this is amazing...and about whatever you want it to be

[DerGacko]

i am colorblind. coffee black and eg white. pull me out from inside. i am folding and unfolding and unfolding. i am colorblind. :)

[82Paule]

eines der besten lieder die ich je gehört!!!!!!

[coollikebeans]

he looks like he's gonna cry.

Woah, that's pretty powerful.

[dokukuwet]

so viel gefühl dabei wahnsinn!

<3

[countingcrows123]

Not much I can say..

but wow.

[MrFernaleja]

Sooooo geil!!<3

[bigdazzv6]

31 people have never felt the joy of love

[doberman2yk]

@bigdazzv6 the song is not about love....its about wanting with all your heart to come out of a life long shell.... but i agree that anyone who doesn't like this song doesn't get it.

[jenberligil]

31 people have autism.

[DMRCapitalHill]

I can feel the emotion

[Irishperson1]

:') ... *sigh . wow .

[oceangeek101]

Hes so emotional in his voice. I wish i could show my emotions through music like that

[SarahHarperRock]

@oceangeek101 As a musician...no you don't. It's hell.

[AlternateQuiet]

really, really touching!



[MrFernaleja]

<3<3<3

[mftat1]

I would have to say this is moving.

[distantapollo]

Duritz is the most emotional vocalist I've ever listened to or seen live. His every performance, he just puts his soul on the line for everyone to see. You can always feel exactly what he felt when he wrote the song. The perfect musician, in my opinion.

[6stay66sic]

vertehe genau was er meint...

-.-

...

eines der großartigsten lieder überhaupt...

[BilisNegra]

Such breathtaking performance, Talent, soul, warmth. Such great artist, such honest man. I'm just glad Duritz exists...

[Sheenaly]

Gäääääänseeeehauuuuuut T__T

[razer878]

piano theme is very easy but its nice

[bigdazzv6]

31 people never got it

[GpixieJ]

so much emotion put into every breath and word, i wasnt there but was sooooo there if you know what i mean <3

[Happy2th]

He sure knows how to put some emotion into it......

[sedd1234]

alecsa..... boo :P

[MsFuriousAngel]

@sedd1234 lol :D

[Ponyfohlen]

Just amazing. Nothing more to say.

[RainKingIre]

No one can touch these guys... Great song!

[CaptCinnabon]

No onene should ever cover this song, they could never do it justice...

[linmeg7]

Wow! That's powerfull

[SavannahViolence]

beautiful <3



[bichnigauri]

i wish i was there!

[louisfriend420]

This song makes me want to cry, I'm not listening anymore.

[wowrazzor]

Great.

[Nardok45]

I cry for him.

[heavenkept]

Found on my facebook WOW <-------

[Halodri112]

he sounds live like a studio

[abracadabra177]

totally love :D

[Theedgerob]

Put this on August and Everything After and you've got a perfect album. 

[Trace9924]

@Theedgerob You'd still be missing "A Long December".

[relyanddefy]

guy in cap at 1:46

[theabcgetscold]

one of the most beautiful songs ever!

[intellectualmastadon]

@esmeraldafriedman That is unfortunately how so many performers act these days. Once they start seeing dollar signs they quickly forget the fans who made them famous in the first place.

[angelaconway01]

this is the most emotional song i have ever heard. incredibly beautiful !

[wichsenistcool]

that's what i call music that comes from the heart. there is no big show, the musicians don't wear any brash outfits. they're just standing/sitting there and performing their song and you can see they're feeling what they're singing about. just amazing. <3

[sassycat504]

Its an amazign thing to see a person display such emotion Through sing on stage! To be this opening in front of so many people it a vonerable place to be!

[supahfresh27]

goosebumps

[0rieke0]

Wonderful. I've got tears in my eyes (; .

[CK2890]

man i cant believe you people buy into this phoney fake over emotional bullshit this guy is totally insincere and the music is junk youre a bunch of idiots

[xxPencilOnPaperxx]

Oh. My. Gosh. The emotion in his voice and face make me want to crumple up in a ball and cry, but at the same time I can't stop listening to the song!

[Ashbourne03]

robert downey jr :)

[bassistchrisist]

emo hymn:) love emos:) emos are best

[soyana23]

Mit unglaublich viel Gefühl und Hingabe gesungen- bin begeistert!

[evilcartman555]

@soyana23 Ich verstehe total ein. Es geäussert so schön so tiefes ein Traurigkeit. Ganz großartig.

[evilcartman555]

@evilcartman555 *äussert

[0oasheso0]

Absolutely amazing.

[1986annm]

Oh - would do pretty much anything to have them visit Scandinavia so I can see the band perform amazing songs like this, live. The goosebumps I get from seing it on youtube alone... Amazing amazing song, and my favourite band!

[chadwick306]

so calming..

[intellectualmastadon]

Rarely hear music in the U.S. that is so heartfelt anymore. That's why I started listening to bands from other countries. What is called "music" these days I call garbage. Take Lady Gaga for example!

[lilikapforever]

@intellectualmastadon well in my country gaga means stupid,nuts you know hehe

[touslesblues]

I love this song.

[jejdebrest]

adam <3<3

[urha90n71]

amazing song. i learned the piano part in 30 seconds.

[whogon2121]

Oh and it's "loud American mouths" bc most aren't very intelligent, yet talk constantly. America is probably the greatest concentration of laziness n apathy in the world...prove otherwise I dare u. We also lead the world in alot of technology n what not, so it's almost like we've become a necessary evil--remind anyone of roman empire? The thought rome was invincible bc it ran the world very similar to how we do--and they were dismantled-least they reigned for hundreds of yrs, we are crumbling a

[jejdebrest]

Adam Duritz <3

[schmo78]

PS:

watch?v=xwXPjMb7_Mk

[nanaxeaton]

makes me have to cry ):

[Selerdor10]

Still gives me the chills...

[houdinkie]

THERE is so much FEELING in this song.. I'm a metal head but when I see this and how much it means when he sings this song it's REALLY touching.......

[GibsonCopy88]

Say what you wanna say, but that's the best version on youtube of this song!

So emotionally...great...i love it

[RADiR3L4ND]

I have chills..

[furiousphoenix77]

So intensive...you can´t describe it adequatelly...

[scarter2000]

Isn't the guy at 1:42, Vincent Cassel? :O

[GibsonCopy88]

@scarter2000 haha, you're right, a little family trip huh :D

From France to the Netherlands...that ain't a distance :D

[ja3r0drigu3z44]

you can really see all the emotion he's putting into his singing....I L0VE IT !!!

[waldemar771]

von 1:02 - 1:15 xDDDDD

1:12 spuckt der xDDDD

[waldemar771]

fail bei 1:02 xDDDDDDD

[waldemar771]

fail

[whogon2121]

Anybody that's ever had anything even remotely close to real love shuts their loud American mouth when they hear shit as real as this. That song is one of hardest ever to sing, especially in front of folks u dont know. I agree with comment earlier, about whole crowd shuttin up, rare. Thats how good lead singer is.

[johnniev19]

@whogon2121 why is it a loud american mouth? why not just a loud mouth? whats wrong with americans?

[mcgge7]

@whogon2121 "loud american mouth"?

[EstethicsUninvited]

@whogon2121 I was hurting with him, seing this...it's so painfully beautiful!

[jcwalker420]

god, i have been listening to this for years, & PLEASE PLAY AT MY FUNERAL!!!!!

[Ashbourne03]

what's that tool called at the last part?

[TwistedSpawn]

Can Robert Downey Jr. sing or what?!

[Ashbourne03]

@TwistedSpawn AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! as soon i read your comment, i scrolled up, and it was the perfect angle that looks like Robert Downey Jr

[GeorgiiiJ87]

a sound like this... is what it takes to stun a crowd into silence.

magic.

[jwigg93]

@wizdancer don't hate because you're not in touch with your emotions

[MMSStade]

Dieses Song ist einfach super... und auf Klavier auch gar nicht so schwer zu spielen :-)

[wizdancer]

emo nerd

[hansomhughm2]

all I have to say is WOW :}

[MisterT10081995]

[Mel1974ish]

[Ml288ml]

[smileforpeace9]

This made me cry. I've rarely seen or heard somebody sing that emotionally and incredibly touching. Absolutely amazing!

[VANDERSPAIN]

Magic at it's best!

[ydnas0505]

gänsehaut pur...

[iloverocknroll47]

most emotional amazing performance i have seen

[elentasa]

The best performance ever

[TejanoStlye]

do you think its easier or harder to play a ballad at a rock concert? nice loved these guys since i was a kid

[Chafey4444]

It's definitely HARDER! A song like this can easily lose it's subtly really quickly in a LIVE setting. You see he tries to oversell it a bit too much in spots! Too Over-The-Top in spots compared to the very subtle nuances of the studio recording. Like when he literally stutters to convey "tongue-tied" & when he hugs himself at another point (cheesily acting-out his "covered in skin" line), he looks like that one cartoon dog that hugged himself and floated in the air when he gets a biscuit! :o)

[thunt123]

@Chafey4444 you do know he has dissociation disorder?

[Chafey4444]

@thunt123 Actually, No. I didn't know. And I had to look it up to see exactly what it was. So I wonder if

that one cartoon dog that floats in the air and hugs himself whenever he gets his favorite biscuit,

also, has that disorder. :o) Seriously though, regardless, My point remains: It's hard to do a

song that's beauty is subtlety, on a huge stage, especially outside. So I was giving him props

really (in My own CHAFEY way) that he did at least do it half way well. But he

DID oversell it in spots.

[traeumewerdenwahr]

@ Chafey: "Not that there's anything wrong with being a Nazi"

Are you serious? Being a Nazi is a crime against humanity! Sadly, some people still haven't learned anything from WW2 and the "Drittes Reich".

Has it ever come to your mind that being "colourblind" could also mean: being tolerant towards every race ?

[Chafey4444]

@traeumewerdenwahr No. I wasn't serious. I was doing a humor twist on how some gay males,

are tolerant of all kinds of fetishes, as long as it's fashionable in some kind of way.

Nazi's usually dress real sharp with nice tight crisp uniforms and shiny boots!!

So *some* of the more superficial and//or amoral gay men may

prefer *that* over a roll-up PinkPop cap wearing dude

who gets misty-eyed when he hears 'Colorblind'. :o)

But, again, I am making joking points. And I only

said *some* gay men.

[Riesentierchen]

@Chafey4444 sometimes it´s better to think before you talk. Seriously, that was all bullshit you were saying.

[Chafey4444]

@Riesentierchen Sometimes, it's better to have a sense of humor about what you read online, and try your best to learn about how some people make what we call "jokes", dumb ass!! Sheesh. There are so many dumb asses on YouTube. You still don't get what I meant, do you!? Ask somebody smarter than you (just about anybody)

and have them go over it with you. I'm done trying to spoon feed you politically incorrect comedy lessons, idiot!!!!

[Riesentierchen]

@Chafey4444 That´s a very nice basis to talk. Thank you. Maybe your sense of humor isn´t what other people consider funny. No need to be rude. I said it was bullshit what you were saying, not saying that you´re dumb or anything. And yes politically incorrect jokes can be funny, but I just didn´t think it was actually funny what you were saying. And I don´t think it´s appropriate to call someone a dumb ass, when there could be a normal conversation. But maybe that´s just my point of view xDD

[Chafey4444]

@Riesentierchen I said you were dumb, because, you seemed to zero in on the word 'Nazi' and lost all sense of what was being said and the obvious joking tone of it. Hello!?

[Riesentierchen]

@Chafey4444 I don´t think there is any reason to say that it´s okay to be a Nazi. That´s never funny. Sorry, but that´s my opinion.

[Riesentierchen]

@Chafey4444 Seems like you´re an expert when it comes to old Adolf...Whatever. I just missed the tolerance in your "sense of humor" but like I already said, that´s my point of view. Have a nice life or something.

[Chafey4444]

@Riesentierchen How 'bout I have a nice life PLUS a whole lot of somethin'-somethin'....!?
