This is my favorite live performance of any song ever made.
its so lazy lol
@@Blake-cz7mj It’s not lazy at all. He’s painting a picture and telling a story. The actual SONG on the radio you could say is lazy. Just singing. He’s putting emotion into her character. Absolutely NOTHING lazy about this
@@Blake-cz7mj how the fuck does "lazy" apply to this. Lazy would be the same version every time.
@@Blake-cz7mj your comment is laced with ignorance and hypocrisy 😂
@@Blake-cz7mjstfu lol
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
❤❤if youve never seen the Woodstock 99 version..check it out
You should here the regular version
No matter how many times I hear this song, it always breaks my heart. Beautifully done.
100%!! Haven’t heard this in YEARS and it broke in the very same places it did when I listened to it 80 times before and that “We’re all FUCKIN TIRED of something” TOTALLLLLY hit!!!
“It’s only in my head.” 😢
Listen to this version at least once a week..
2024. Somehow sad and somehow comforting to me
I usually get disappointed when a band changes a song from the studio version to an unrecognizable live version. However, I have been listening to these guys and going to their concerts since the 90's and the evolution of this song shows a depth of emotion that relates to and is reflected in so many of their songs. This is a work of art. Brilliant.
Me and my mom's favorite band together. I've seen them 3 times with my mom, and her and I always talk about how no show is the same. The way they're able to turn a regular song into a 10 minute song, and you NEVER lose interest. They do it right. I'll be a counting crows fan until I die. I'll forever think of mom when I hear this band too.
An ever growing work of art. An evolution that continues through the actual life of a dream that never occurs.
I usually disappoint people around here
And around me
I think the lyrics are brilliant. Moving images and sensitivity flow through them.
6 year comment and I still love it
It perfectly describes a perfect song with perfection
Aint that a bitch...
I want her and hom and him to make a song but they can't
First off dolores O'Riordan is no longer
And Robert smith...wouldn't do it
But it'd be so fucking cool
So it's only in my head
I must have seen this at least 80 times. I cried the first time!! I've been addicted to it ever since
Than u have to look the performance from pinkpop 2008 ... probably the best round here ever 😊
Best regards from Germany
Fabian, I found that version years ago and fell in love with this song - yet again. It's probably my favorite song written oddly in my life. I believe Adam is more outward in Pinkpop, but I also hold this version very dear as well.
It's strange, because both versions (this and Pinkpop '08) are the same artists, band members (I think) and even emphasis on emotion, but they sound like two different songs with a common purpose.
Also, the performance on Letterman is remarkable, even if they were still an early band with less self-innovation of lyrics and atmosphere.

I feel the same
Adams is a poet with microphone , great, the best
Adam is known for being melodramatic during his performances. That's not to say he fakes it but embraces each feeling to the fullest. However, when he moved his hands to his mouth or chews on his fingers like he does on the "Come Outside" part here, I think he is baring his soul for everyone to see. I've noticed him do this on a few live performances and it always seems to be when he is most emotional and most vulnerable. It's pretty incredible for him to relive his past horrors for the audience and stand emotionally naked like that. I also think he does it for himself to remind himself of how far he's come.
Such a beautiful performance
This band is so amazing in performing together and improvising over this song over and over again.
Always a different story and news aspects to it! This is a living and breathing performance!
Joseph DeChangeman that’s so extremely true. It’s true art and real music. He is and they are absolutely amazing
Pure Genius.
This version hurts my heart so very much, when I say Genius I give that credit to the whole band, how they just flow in the same direction as Adam's improvised lyrics, paints and incredible picture of a conversation between two people.
Every time I hear a different version of this song it makes it better because its the same song but different and gives us more to love.
*Small town afternoons* love it.
So happy I was there that night!
@callyoufromapayphone hurts my heart too. But such a beautiful song
I hate where this song takes me, but I keep coming back to it, because it's SO....... real.
I can't help but think, we need to be more kind to people. You just never know what they're going through.
I've heard this version over and and over again , it's by far my favorite. I cannot even explain how it hits me.❤️
Yes, call out our names! ❤
It is pretty emotional.
Marry me lol. Love Counting Crows
I don't disagree DV, but fuck. The "Come Pick Me Up" version is brutal.
@@designationzero9979 Thank you for sharing that version … Adam is brilliant
The five people that disliked this video... Shame on you.
This song and its many versions never cease to amaze me.
I needed this. Everyone needs this.
Absolutely incredible performer. Adam sings all of his songs the way he feels that day because he doesn't believe in trying to recreate the emotions he was feeling when he wrote the song. Thus creating a beautiful and unique experience for every song he sings.
Everybody should be afforded the privilege of hearing this performance.
Ah yes! And I'm truly grateful for this upload. :-)
I do not know why this music moves me so much,
Same here!
it just speaks to you doesn't it? beautiful timeless song
@@dzonbrodi514 It may be because of some hidden memory.
It remains a significant song for me.
The music certainly speaks to me in some way.
Because, to me it is so raw, and honest. It just seems to come from the heart and soul. Their music truly saved me during my heartbreak and eating disorder, but back when this came out, I had never heard this version. Now 30 yrs later this song hits me more than back then. I survived the eating disorder, domestic violence 5 yrs ago and recently losing my biggest cheerleader, my best friend...my Mom. I found this dramatic and heart touching version and I will continue to survive. Thank you Adam and the Counting Crowd for all their music. Sometimes the saddest songs give us the strength to push on❤😢
"She says its only in my head
She says, Oh Idk, but she says that its only in my head
These things you're dreaming, they are only in your head
These voices you hear sighing and lying and talking and singing and screaming are only in your head.
They are jaguars in Mexico
That's farther South than I will ever go
My life, my head, my heart, my eyes are filled with squirrels
and 1 million beautiful girls.
Hello my sweet orangutan
Doris Day is on tv again
I apologize for everything
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello my sweet orangutan.
She lives alone on her private archipelago
With the palm trees and her seashells
She sits in the waves all day
She says she scared of dying and she wants to keep it that way.
So, she sends a boat out on the sea with a little note for me that says
"Why are all the girls so hungry?
But why are all the girls so hungry?
And why are all the boys so lonely?
Why can't anybody see me? Why? Why? Why?"
Come outside. She said, think I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon
Going far away from here
Come outside
She said come outside with me, put away your fears.
You and me, we're not meant for bedrooms
You and me, we're not meant for home.
Shit, I'm leaving here tomorrow, please come with me darling. I don't want to go alone.
Well come outside she says
Climb out your window, come outside
Before the world gets any colder
You and I get too much older
Come outside she said.
Come outside she Says
Hey! Climb out your window, come outside
Before my Momma knows I'm gone
Daddy thinks you're home alone
Come outside and run away with me she said.
Come outside she said
Climb outside your window, come outside
And if you can't get away, find me some other day
If not today, I'll be on my way.
You and me weren't meant for bedrooms
You and me weren't meant these small town afternoons.
You and me were meant for leaving
We were meant for highways and sunsets and all summer blooms.
So come away, come away, come away Outside she said
Run away, run away, run away with me."
❤
Thank you ❤
‘Billions’ brought me back to this song. The original, then this version.... simply amazing...
Adam sings his songs like Jerry Garcia played his guitar. That’s why I’ll follow Counting Crows anywhere.
I've listened to every live version of this song I can find and it's amazing every time they're all different. These guys are soo good
That might be the most soulful performance I've ever seen...just amazing
He is so good it’s unreal.
Adam Duritz - One of rock's great, great distinctive voices. All you have to do is hear it - Don't even have to see who is performing. And you know exactly who it is.
I think this version is better than the album version, I love it that they have one song they play different all the time, but still kind of the same
I've listened to every version I can find and there never the same twice and ALWAYS give me chilly bumps. Perhaps one of the greatest songs ever written and performed
Just WOW! Heard it live in 2000. Left an impression on me. Love the changing of lyrics and structure from performance to performance.
this Version and the August and Everything After Live At The Town Hall Versions of this song are soooo beautiful. i dont give a fuck who you are. this man is a lyrical genius. He can make amazing lyrics off the top of his head. Music is an expression. No Offense but listen to the album if you want that version. Honestly ive listened to the album version way to much. I think he's amazing. I strive to be able to preform like this. This isnt just a song. This is Art. you're watching Art get made here. I have more respect for an artist who is unpredictable and emotional more than a guy who just stands there and sings a song emotionless.
Totally agree, this is maybe the best piece of music I have seen.
How do you write a song so good? Beautiful.
It's not completely off the top of his head, at least not all of it. Many of the "extra" lyrics in this song come from Doris Day by Sordid Humor.
@@alexhumble6435 also Private Archipelago
It's like walking into an aural abstract painting, so full of emotion that it's about to explode...
Holy Shit, my life just changed.
I think the real fans pay to hear whatever the performer wants to convey. It is special when they add to the album version. If you don't like it, don't go. This band is especially known for the way they change their songs each show. You will NEVER see the same show from this band twice, and that is way cooler than hearing the same thing with a new song or two from the bands you want to listen to.
cant take it; its just too good.
I think the same.....😎🙏
Still incredible. Still hits you hard
Still jamming in 2021 !!!
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING SONGS EVER!
Wow, I've listened to this song countless times from the "Live at Town Hall" recording and it's pretty amazing how new this song feels in this recording while maintaining its essence. Hearing a different side to the story of the same song.
what a powerful performance I cried... lol
I think this is the singular best rock music performance. Bravo.
The band is not the public's property !
They have the right to perform the way they want !
And you have the right to stop going to their shows if you don't like how they perform...
You clearly see music as a simple product...
I see music as a passion, that has unfortunately been commercialized.
This guy is the perfect example of why a musician should play music. And he delivers one of the most amazing and passionate performance I have ever seen !
I have listened to hundreds of versions of "Round Here." This is my favorite.
Love it when a song tells a story! Excellent Version! Hes amazing Live! Rock On!
WOW!!!! I have heard the BEST Round here!!
So incredible and beautiful would of given anything to be there please return for your world tour!!!
This song is therapy. Beautiful.
I’ve seen these guys no less than 20 times in concert and never has one song ever been the same. But yet somehow I’ve always known the words.
A masterpiece. My favorite live version.
He has entered my soul and spoke my deepest feelings can't get enough of this song what a great performance it moved me in a huge way
Same. Makes me tear up since I started listening to this song again tonight on Pandora.
Seeing you tomorrow night in Tampa. I am crossing one more thing off my bucket list. 6/16/2024....I cannot wait to see you.
Greatest live performances you will ever see. No one evolves like they do
Agree
Round here- I'm waiting for you all to come back!!!!! Love you all!!!!!xoxoxoxoxo
The amount of views is ridiculuous compared to the depth of this song. Touches me whenever I hear it.
I cannot even express in words how this song makes me wanna cry out in dismay of how I feel this song.
Same here! Adam Duritz is so amazing at conveying so much emotion and depth in his singing... pure genius.
I watch this video at least 2-3 times per week. Thank you.
I’m back again….. pure class
....o my gosh.
Just finished listening and I am blown away.
I need to go to work in 15 minutes but I'm still lost in the sound of this amazing rendition.
Just...wow.
I would loove to be sitting next to the ocean at night listening to this song.🏖️🌺🌊
This is the most beautiful thing i have had the pleasure of hearing and viewing, thank you, this was wonderful.
This blew me away.. had me in tears.
this was very Moving! it made me cry. adam is such a soulful singer-you feel his anguish in every word.
Exactly
since i was in middle school my coping mechanism is to copy down the words to this song. it started off as a way to memorize the lyrics since there are so many, and eventually evolved into me obsessively keeping an entire notebook dedicated to this tune. pages upon pages of duritz's mind in my handwriting through the years. i am a senior in high school about to move to nashville myself, like maria. as i grow i relate to the song more in both good and bad ways. i owe my life to round here.
"she says shes scared of dying and wants to keep it that way"
2024. There are so many interpretations of this song. I also have a version of this song, in my personal journal.
This is amazing song and version
I've been looking for this specific recording for FOREVER 😭
Adam is such an artist, but don't forget Charlie, Dave, and the rest of the band coming together to accentuate Adam's delivery with such beautiful cohesion and feeling. I truly feel Counting Crows are one of the best and most synced bands ever. Their cover of Friend of the Devil is a masterpiece. I only enjoy covers if they're done with originality and very well, and it's one of my favorites.
This has to be one of the most artistic and poetic renditions of music ever performed and I still come back every so often...it's the specific version I used on my radio show to tell my ex gf I was ready to move across the continent with her, and was the beginning of an incredible love story. (We're still good friends). Amazing how music can be used to express. "This music is the glue of the world, it's what holds it all together. Without this, life would be meaningless." Eddie, Empire Records
"Music is the perfect amalgamation of mathematics and emotional expression."- me, high school essay about music
I love the lyrics..
So BEAUTIFUL PUT ME INTO TEARS ❤️❤️😭
WOW. WOW. WOW!!! Dude's spirit is still on fire!! Thanks for this share/post!! These guys just get better!
Saves my life in the 80's...still listen and thank the Counting Crows for their lyrics and music, because I am still here on 2024 listening to them. Thank you for keeping me alive😢❤ Just love you
Such an emotional version of this song. Thank you David. You've still got it. Wish I could see you live. I did run away to just leave the walls crumbling down aroundl me. Life was more important, I still have something important to do in my life, what that is, I don't know ! But it is somethjngj
I should have said in the 90's not 80's. It is so long ago , a time I would like to forget, but David , you, your voice, your lyrics and your band made me get through that rough time. Your lyrics are often sad and heartfelt, but you helped me chose life.❤😢
this is such poetry, theres no other word or genre to describe it as. his voice carries the anger and agony, his words carry that sense of bittersweet hope that makes the song create a literal sculpture. nothing more and nothing less for that is all that we are.
Makes me cry, every time...
This song is insane & I love that he threw in some stuff from his Sordid Humor days.
Love all the improvising and passion with this classic.
Relatable 🙏🪷🎶
I re-watch this so much.. I love it more than the original
Evan same
This is what a masterpiece sounds like!
The Sorid Humor lyrics are just so good
If you want to hear it the way it was recorded, go listen to the album.
This whole album was and still is amazing its a huge part of my youth
everytime adam sings this, it’s like he’s trying to piece together stray memories he has of a girl. every time, the story gets larger and more detailed; it’s coming back to him slowly, fictional or not. and we’re witnessing it first hand through these live performances. this is fucking art, man. this is it. counting crows as a whole is horribly underrated, but adam especially, is the best writer, the best artist in my mind. who else can bend emotions this easily, this vaguely, this powerful? he perfectly captures how scattered a persons brain is after losing someone, how the memories come and go as time passes on. no one else can write the way he writes.
Gord Downie ... Adam is on the same kinda level as him ... it's a rare craft
If there's one thing I ever wish I would have wrote it would be this song.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL..
this is awesome. thank you for posting it.
Thank you sir for this upload. Very grateful. Such an amazing performance and the sound quality is spot on!
seeing them live is on my bucket list. I missed them in July hopefully they come back to Florida next year 😢
Nick Gould i saw them in May of last year and it was probably the best show Ive been to.
I might have to end it all after that beautifully dark rendition
Too all the idiots saying they prefer the studio version.... listen to the studio version?? The improvisation and emotional intensity is what keeps the real fans flocking to all these beautiful live versions. I’d like to see you be able to breathe new life into something you made 30 years ago every night.
I just had to listen to this masterpiece again..🙏🪄🔮✨✌️🌄☮️
Seeing these guys in June. Can't wait!
completely amazing
Love, love this song,! One of my favorite versions!
Great song..Great performance
The best live performance I've seen of round here. He sang it from the heart.
Saw this last night in London. Truly moving. So glad to see it on here.
so luv this!
Best version luv luv luv
This was truly an amazing performance.
Beautiful song ...❤
I've never heard them do a live rendition of this song that didn't move and break my heart, but this is the one I keep coming back to year after year. It's that throwaway line, "she's afraid of dying, she wants to keep it that way." There's two songs I remember the exact moment I heard them for the first time, and Round here is one. It's a perfect song, no matter how Adam and crew deliver it.
My god what a performance
POWERFUL !!!!
OMGSH I love it
