Sometimes, Brad is weird. "What is that SOUND???" It's a guitar, Brad. Playing a simple melody. Because it's a song.
Yeah, he often tries too hard to pay attention to meaning in Lyrics etc. neglecting the actual song sometimes.
Yeah, it’s guitar chord arpeggios played high up on the neck. This is why the electric guitar is THE most expressive musical instrument, 2nd only to the human voice…maybe. So many sounds and styles and impressions can be conjured from a guitar/amp/fx. : )
@@Crackity_Jones. you can't pay attention to every aspect of the song, deeply, at one time... lyrics are far more important than sound imo, so. So not sure how your comment is directed as if he is at fault for following the lyrics (as his emo gf just vibes mindlessly to the sounds).
@@ChrisTopher-ek6rr I guess I just disagree then. I would place the music first.I dont exactly blame him fully,I think lyric videos are a bit distracting anyway, and sometimes take away from the song
@@Crackity_Jones. that's because you like thinks that do not provoke thought & instead provoke a "feeling". Anyone who places sound above substance is crazy imo. So yes, stark disagreement. I would go as so far to say to get out of your feelings when it comes to music & instead use your brain 👍 appreciating good instrumentation is one thing, but to value it over meaning is something else. May as well be listening to opera or jazz that has no lyrical substance.. the "sounds" of music you like is purely subjective, good lyricism (or crafting of words) is not.
“Anna begins” is another great song from this album
such an underrated song
The version from their unplugged is incredible.
This album is another great song from this album. I mean...
This entire cd is awesome
@@lesterine77 Bruh, the whole cassette tape is amazing lol
August and Everything After is one of the best debut albums ever and it just came out of nowhere. Great for long car trips set to repeat. Lots of memories for me.
I completely agree in my lifetime it definitely has been one of my all-time favorite albums and I don't think it gets nearly enough credit for how good it is start to finish
This album is soooooo good! Definitely nostalgic for me. Still gives me the chills when I listen to it.
You appreciate this album and ur easy on the eyes...ur one of a kind. I love this, still listen to it at least once a year.
the best album of all time for me
Agree. Great album . . . back when people actually listened to albums.
Brad & Lex, their "Rain King" is next for you!! (for your 3rd Crows song)
Good choice. Anna Begins is a beautiful one as well.
That one is great too.
Brad and Lex use their platform to promote views that are fringe right wing, anti-gay, anti-trans, and pro-Florida's extreme and fringe Republican party. I recommend if you support gay and trans rights, then unsubscribe from their channel and tell other people on here who don't know and are still supporting them.
@@seanlynch1185 Oh they do not. Get a life.
@@seanlynch1185 They support not only the freedoms that allow you to have your voice (First Amendment) but rational thinking and ideas/policies that used to be far from controversial. Not only that, but they support free thinking and the open exchange of opposing ideas.
If you are referring to Florida's Parental Rights Bill, you have neither read any of the bullet points, are pro-groomer or a propagandist for the radical, extreme left. Propaganda (as often used by socialist & communist regimes) seeks to humiliate citizens through forced acceptance of absurdities.
Those with radical, socialist viewpoints refuse to debate and let their facts go toe to toe with those who support a Constitutional Republic. That's because their "facts" are a facade for feelings and crumble upon scrutiny. As soon as a rational person presents sensible facts, that person is shouted down as a racist, homophobe, transphobe, etc...by the smallest (yet loudest) percentage of the population.
Until the newly formed "Ministry of Truth" begins to support your agenda, maybe it's best you troll elsewhere.
I always loved Round Here because for as simple as it is, there's a lot of poetic expression within the lyrics. Someone once told me their interpretation of the song was people going to boot camp or OTS and all the mental struggles during it and its stuck ever since in my head. Like 'we always stand up straight' I always end up picturing a row of boots (trainees) trying to look in order but on the verge of breaking / crying.
I always thought it was about a girl he cared about who had died.
It says in the beginning "nobody notices the contrast of white on white". Then later on he says "nobody makes us get up early and nobody makes us wait". I think it's about a white well to do neighborhood.
Then later on he talks about a girl on the beach walking like on a tightrope between the water and the land. Then brings you back up again when he mentions she's thinking of jumping. Probably referring to how living in an insular neighborhood can make you feel.
If you like this song either amount, you really owe it to yourself to check out the "1997 counting crows at pinkpop - round here" version. It's the best interpretation of this song imo. It's 10 minutes long but it tells an incredible narrative, and the connection with the crowd is palpable. Love this song from my childhood.

@@seanlynch1185 you really need to open your mind and do some self reflection. I have watched a lot of their videos and I can say for sure they are not anti-gay or anti-trans. You realize people can disagree with you and not be evil right? Most opinions arent divided by the right way and evil.
What gay or trans rights do you think they are against exactly?
Seriously what is wrong with you? These arent wealthy famous people. They are two young adults struggling to get by and you want to attack their livelihood because they arnt woke enough for you? You are being an example of whats wrong with this country!
These guys were so big in the 90s that the lead singer, Adam Duritz, dated Courtney Cox at the height of her "Friends" fame. I saw them on tour with Toad the Wet Sprocket five years ago, and it was an awesome concert.
and jennifer aniston
He was on the joe rogan podcast not too long ago. He seems like a really cool guy and it was awesome hearing his story.
He has a cooking channel on CZcams now lol
I bet that was a great concert.
Yes, it's about time Brad and Lex do a few Toad songs. Start with their best, Something's Always Wrong.
I once lived in the scene the lyrics describe: a group of young people living together communally, trying to make their way in the music business with little knowledge of how to do that, or even how to live as adults in the alternative lifestyle we were inventing for ourselves … “No one makes us go to bed early”….”We’re carving out our names… “we all look the same”… “we talk like lions, but we sacrifice like lambs”. And other wanderers, like Maria in the song, show up in our house with their own drama/trauma/beauty/tragedy, and we’re not able to give them what they need…
Am I projecting my experiences from 40+ years ago into this song? You betcha. This song totally resonates with me! And plenty others, apparently, perhaps in totally different ways.
Brad…it’s an electric guitar. I really do enjoy your reactions, and I appreciate your willingness to take on the music of a previous generation (or two). But sometimes your lack of context for understanding this music, while understandable, is frustrating to those of us that were there. So…we’re on this journey together. : )
I agree, this totally nails it. Young people trying to figure out life while simultaneously feeling like they can't let anyone else know they don't have it figured out. Maria is the only one open to her vulnerability, and the narrator seeing himself in her, and his inability to help her as an indication he can't even help himself.
Well Adam did start off in a warehouse off 4th Street in San Francisco with Dave confused about their lives and if they wanted to continue thank heavens they did and if u never lived in San Fran I can’t help you babe it’s another world. As a New Yorker I was for sure I could navigate my life there but I just couldn’t it’s a world all of its own.
this is one of the saddest songs ever written, because you can't really identify what the source of the sadness is . . . maybe just life . . .
impermanence. the sadness that everything ends
If you check out "Storytellers," he explains where it came from.
Seems to be about addiction to me
Well said Sid!! I don’t think Adam himself explains it that well..
The song is about his band on the verge of collapse. "Maria" is a metaphor for his band in what was their current state before they got their big break.
This whole album takes me back to high school! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!!
OMG dude was lyricist of the highest caliber.
This song makes me cry every time and I don't even know why? I think it's Adam's voice that gets me. Great song and reaction ❤️
You guys! This works for all music.
1st listen? Listen with your heart. 2nd listen? Focus on the words.3rd listen? Pick out individual instruments. 4th listen? sing along in the car. 5th listen? Play along on guitar.
That vocal is profound. I'v e heard this song many times, but I still just got chills up my spine from it.
"A Long December" would be a great next listen for Counting Crows (from their follow-up album 'Recovering The Satellites'), and to appreciate Adam Duritz' amazing vocals ... check it out guys!
That one is such a classic!!! I love counting crows.
A long december would be great. But if you guys liked this, Anna begins is also a fantastic song. I personally prefer it to this.
Long December had just came out and was playing on the radio the night my dad died. Every time I hear it I see the paramedics carrying him out the door.
I remember kind of liking this song when it came out, but after hearing again for the first time in decades, I have to admit, I never gave this band credit they deserved. I never really paid attention to the lyrics, but from what I can tell (the lyric video helps a lot) they're talking about the mentally ill homeless population.
They are still making music. Ive listened to every album they have done the past 30 years. Great stuff everytime
A mentally ill loved one. :(
It's a guitar Brad lol. Soft guitar melodies. Counting Crows has some good songs and videos. Popular in the '90s and '00s. College/Indie rock. Alt rock, jangle pop. Hipster kind of music. Lex and Brad are good on their breakdown of the song. Good group and song. BTW, Brad really liked "Mr Jones" from them, yall did a reaction to that not too long ago.
Leans a little like Weezer I guess, lol, although Weezer tends to be a bit heavier.
Lex, many of us wished that we were Adam (the singer), he dated a lot of hot celebrities during those years! Too many of them to list lol. He used to have wild dreadlocks, too.

That's a banjo
Mental note: Brad is not a fan of arpegiated guitar! Haha Great tune.
I still love Counting Crows so much, his voice and lyricism always gets me emotional.
This is my favorite band of all time. Their first CD, which this song came from, is one of my travelling albums when I am driving on long highway trips. The whole album has this feel of an old farmhouse in the middle of a forgotten field of long grass to the horizon. They write such peaceful songs, filled with vivid poetry and metaphor.
I really like their songs 'Sullivan Street', 'Anna Begins', and 'Miami'
Have you checked out their album that came out last year?
This whole album is amazing.
My favorite Counting Crows song. ❤
Same ❤
Mellow acoustic guitar sound weapon, lmao. Took my now wife to see them and Wallflowers on one of our first dates back in 1997; worked out well
6th Ave heart ache
One of my favorite CC tracks. They've got several really great ones. Anna Begins, American Girls, Hangin Around, Big Yellow Taxi (a cover), A Long December...
Anna Begins for sure. Beautiful song.
A Long December is the most impactful for me.
Anna Begins is my favorite track off this record. Beautiful and moving lyrics and the beat/flow is like no other song I've heard before
Sullivan Street
Mrs Potter's lullaby
Goodnight Elisabeth
Catapult
Angels of the silences
Daylight fading
I believe it's called a guitar. And to me, the best part of the song. 🤷
Thank you for coming back to more Counting Crows... This album was the soundtrack to my senior year in highschool. I know every word in it...
I'm so glad you guys came back to Counting Crows. Your next song from them should be Rain King, arguably the best song on the album.
Probably my favourite song of theirs. Just soooo much atmosphere. For many years, I thought the line 'Round here, got lots of time' was actually 'Round here, God lost sometime', which is a better line and perfectly suits the song. I was pretty disappointed when I found out the real lyric.
I've been waiting for this one! The two I've been wanting is Round Here and Jeff Healey " As The Years Go Passing By" live. You guys are my favorite.
They definitely need to do more Jeff Healey!
Brad the guitar part you're talking about helps keep the tempo and melody
Adam Duritz is an awesome singer and song writer. You’ll have to listen to it a few times and you’ll hear the lyrics better. It will all come together and that sound won’t mess with you as much.
I dont understand how they always watch lyric videos and never understand the lyrics lol
Amazing opening tune to an album I can always listen to in full length. The emotion in "We talk just like Lions, but we sacrifice like Lambs".......so good. Love it!
Also, i have seen The Counting Crows every summer for decades. 🤣they are one of the summer concerts for my BFF and me. We are seeing them this summer too.
If anyone is in iIllinois , they’ll be at the Ravinia. 👊🏽
Brad likes it, he really likes it 😂😂
The "Dream Theater" tee is so awesome. I inherited a Mercury Topaz from my sister and she had copied a Dream Theater CD. Since I didn't know the band's name I took a sharpie and named it "Assorted Ass-Kickery".
Sullivan Street is my fav from that amazing 1993 Counting Crows album - timeless album
Love the Crows!
Such poetry and music too. This is my favorite. It is the way people perceive and deal with reality.
After watching for a while, Lex loves Metal, and Brad loves Alternative Rock of the 90's!!
My favorite from them is A Long December and I think Brad would really like it.
A very deep and powerful song.
Finally some Crows I’ve been asking for this! Thanks
What do you mean finally? They reacted to Mr. Jones a long time ago.
Mrs. Potter’s Lullaby is a great one. Rain King is great too. Guess I could just list all counting crows tunes
Pure poetry I think about the uncontrollable life we experience. Very unique stuff. I love it.
Counting crows color blind is a must!!!!
The Wall Flowers have a song w/ The Counting Crows’ singer Adam Duritz. It’s called 6th Avenue Heartache. Great song.
I just saw them south of Nashville at the new amphitheatre in Franklin. It was the second show of their tourand they had just had a covid case in the crew. They had been holed up during pandemic, writing an album, and they were understandably rusty from not performing during the last two years of covid.
It's important to note that Counting Crows has basically been touring constantly since their first album, back in the 90s. Almost two years off is the longest period of time that the haven't been on stage. There were sound problems and the set list needed to be rearranged, but the concert was still great.
I'm heading to Memphis tomorrow for Beale Street Music Festival. They'll be there. I'm already excited to see them again.
Angels of the Silences should be next from them, you get an upbeat rocker combined with Adam’s voice and lyrics, and you have some magic!
Recovering the Satellites is s fantastic album
A song of our generation.
I miss it.
@@jessiej1746 Me Too
Best album of the 90s imo. Every song is great
I think his unique vocal tone and the melody just kinda suck you in. Maybe it's because I was in my moody 20's when this came out- but I pretty much loved it right away. It takes multiple listens to let the lyrics really sink in. Lucky for us who were around when this song came out -we got to hear it alot! Counting Crows are still one of my favs! Thanks guys!

Brad, the sound you hear was a clean electric guitar with reverb not strumming chords but hitting single notes, which is not a sound you hear a lot as it was played to a hauntingly melancholy vocal. People giving you grief that you didn't know that forget that most of your musical experience was not in these genres. I applaud you for your exploration of new music love both of your reactions, keep up the good work.
Love this song! Great band!
Counting Crows puts on a fantastic live show.
This whole album is a masterpiece. Anna begins or time and time again are so good
The live versions of this song are a whole other level. Pink Pop 97 and 2000 are amazing performances.
"Mrs. Potter's Lullaby" is another great one from them.
"This is a song about me," lead singer Adam Duritz said of this song on Counting Crows VH1 Storytellers appearance. Said Duritz: "The song begins with a guy walking out the front door of his house and leaving behind this woman. But the more he begins to leave people behind in his life, the more he feels like he's leaving leaving himself behind as well, and the less substantial he feels about himself. That's sort of what the song's about: even as he disappears from the lives of people, he's disappearing more and more from his own life."
Thanks Chris for sharing that explanation. Helps me make more sense of it.
I absolutely LOVE the Counting Crows ❤️ this is my personal favorite by them but they have a great catalog! Long December or A Murder of One would be great for you guys to check out!
The perfect example of stellar songwriting. The entire album is fantastic. It's a song about coming of age Brad, and perhaps something more. I see this in the rearview now that I am in excess of 60. It is exact without being precise. In this way open to interpretation, however, I see several distinct threads and situations from my early days that completely mesh with this song. All that aside, practically every song is a masterpiece of songwriting. Even if you don't like the voice or arrangements read the lyrics. August and Everything After is a landmark album in my opinion. Your milage may vary :-)
You guys are great,thanks!
Love when u guys do songs from my childhood!
Great story in the lyrics. Love Counting Crows!
Love this song! Do Raining In Baltimore by them
That whole album is awesome and is one I listen to often
Probably my favorite song by them. I feel every single note to my soul 🖤
Right on Brad, you get it! 🍻
Love them!!
It is impossible to imitate the shakiness and vulnerability in his voice you either have it or not.... Also counting Crows are always heavily written in message poetry type style.... So depending on your perspective you might feel one way about a line and another on another day..... Kinda like every time you listen to an old Eminem song you still hear something new.... One day you listen to the crows and the song takes on a while new perspective!
Counting Crows had some very special stuff in the 90s. This is definitely one of them. Recovering the Satellites and Catapult are both on this level as well. Glad you guys listened to this one. Would love to see more. Lyrically so under-appreciated. Also, Adam Duritz vocals are so unique - so fragile one moment and so powerful the next.
Such a GREAT song
Yau! Been asking for this!
BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have heard this song is about different people he knows in Los Angeles. And the lifestyle of LA.
Almost always in top 20 of my playlists no matter genre.
“Yeah, they’d be cousins”. Oh man you guys crack me up. I’m diggin your channel
“Bro voice,” dunno that’s I agree, but his name is Adam.
Check out the VH1 Storytellers with Counting Crows version, (basically VH1’s version of MTV’s Unplugged, but the concept is that the performers talk about the song before playing it,) because I think it’s just that guitar part and his vocals through most of the track.
One of my favorite 90's songs... Thank you. To try another 90's favorite of mine, do the Original video of "Joey", by Concrete Blonde
Ha nice to see Brad smile.
This whole CD is fire!!!! Love these guys!!
High level, it's about leaving people, things, and childhood behind and realizing you left part of yourself as well.
Great song!
That instrument is a banjo. They have the only banjo player i can tolerate. He's great.
Agree with Brad. Sometimes less is more.
this song is about growing up in the same place and losing yourself as you grow and becoming frustrated that the things you grew up thinking were important don't mean that mcuh, staying up late etc. live versions blow the studio version away, he adds parts and sings his heart out
I'm usually of the mind that the song means whatever you take from it, but Adam Duritz's explanation from their VH1 set is just too good not to post. Sorry for the incoming wall of text.
"The first way Counting Crows ever sounded, it was me and Dave in bars and coffee houses playing open mics, doing this song this way. The song begins with a guy walking out the front door of his house, and leaving behind this woman. But the more he begins to leave people behind in his life, the more he feels like he's leaving himself behind as well. The less and less substantial he feels like he's becoming to himself. And that's sorta what the song's about because he feels that even as he disappears from the lives of people, he's disappearing more and more from his own life.
The chorus is, he sorta keeps screaming out these idioms these lessons that your mother might say to you when you were a kid, sorta child lessons ya know, "round here we always stand up straight", "carving out our names". Things that you are told when you are a kid that you do these things that.. that when you're grown up it'll add up to something, you'll have a job, you'll have a life. I think for me and the character of the song they don't add up to anything, it's just a bunch of crap kinda. Your life comes to you or doesn't come to you, but those things don't really mean anything.
By the end of the song he's so dismayed by this that he's kinda screaming out that he can stay up as long as he wants and that no one makes him wait...the sort of things that are important if you are a kid. You know that you don't have to go to bed, you don't have to do anything. The sort of things that don't make any difference at all when you're an adult, they're nothing. And uh and uh this is a song about, about me."
It's poetry to me! Well the constant sound is alot like my friend with ocd describing how she feels at times when she's nervous. I think of it as a tribute to a lady whom he has lost. Many rural northern places are claustrophobic for anyone outside the norm. My husband introduced Counting Crows to me. Not Weezer. Mr Jones is a great one.
Guitar player slinks off quietly as Brad is talking about "the repetitive noise".
No, the guitarist stands proud, his part holds the song together, before the full band comes in. There’s organ there, too, but the guitar defines the time 🎸👍
Love this song.
Can't concentrate? Millennials! : ) You really should listen to The Wallflowers - One Headlight. I don't know if you'll like it or not, but you should listen.
There's this thing called the Internet. You can find answers to many of your questions about songs and bands and lyrics there.
I think Brad's "noise" glued the song together. Maybe it stands out too much on headphones.
Song makes me cry everytime. A murder of one does too.
I’m fascinated by your reaction to the guitar sound. Being a distraction has never occurred to me, but now that you say it, it makes sense. It’s focus is in the frequency range where are ears are most sensitive, that of human speech while the vocals are a lot more mellow here. Now there is a kind of 90s white guy thing that a lot of singers from that era share, but these aren’t bros. This is far too poetic and thoughtful to be bro territory… ok well maybe a little bit 😂. One of my favorite records of the 90s here. It was kind of a game changer when it came out.
The best thing about this song is the live versions. Always different, always unbelievable.
This is one of those albums that stands the test of time.
Round here they are carving out our names. whole song is about Hollywood. This album is amazing. so is the second one Recovering from the Satellites
Maestro Fresh Wes - Let Your Backbone Slide
I wish you would have watched the video for "Round Here". Adam Duritz gives a stellar performance in the video. He delivers the song with such feeling, it's incredible! He's such a Freakin' Genius Poet!! Check out their other songs "A Long December" and "Hanginaround". It's always a special treat to watch their videos. Adam has such a presence!
AWESOME!
He wrote this entire CD in a state mental hospital love him
This is patently untrue.
