I agree. I bought "August..." about a year after it came out. I bought it for the hits, I admit. I remember playing it the first time and liking it but when it came to the last track "A Murder of One" I literally jumped off the couch. What a killer track!
Absolutely! I remember being all by myself in London, thousands of miles from home and feeling lonely. This song shot through the pub like a lighting bolt to my soul.
The Counting Crows are my favorite band. Skill, Creativity, Authenticity & lyrically poetic and powerful stanza’s such as these set them apart from most other artists . There is such an ache in Adams vocals as well as a unique tone as he walks the edge of stage ~ amidst a changing heartbeat of percussion . Fantastic!
We saw the Counting Crows in El Paso on August 4, 2014, and they totally blew me away. Adam's voice was spot on, loud and proud and in your face. The band is great, so much emotion was coming out through their music that certain songs were drawing tears to my eyes, this song being one of them. Go see them if you can!
I was given the cassette for this album, and never bothered to listen to it until a week or two ago. Things are growing on me, but this is an absolutely fantastic song to end the album. Glad I could find a video of a live performance from (almost all the way) back in the day.
The number of meanings in this song are amazing. A group of crows in a murder. The singer is singing to a woman who is dying in a relationship where she cannot be herself - one person murdered, if you will. Plus it gives the meaning of the band's name. And a fantastic performance.
I just saw CC two weeks ago in ATL. Completely amazing how much different Adam was as a frontman then as he is now. They're still amazing none the less

This Is STILL My Favorite Counting Crows Song !! TnT4ever....
God this is so 90s and I'm here for it. I miss seeing live music that has the authentic vibe of people actually playing live music.

great song and this is a good performance
4:40 makes me smile...love it!
I love seeing Adam cutting loose towards the end
I have gone to Paris and I have been to Rome, I have gone to London and I am all alone
i always felt like adam duritz was my good friend. when i was young, during their first and second albums.
but have you seen him lately? ;)
no wonder hes alone hopping around like that
;)
Thats the best description of how I feelt
Why can't they just sing it the way it's supposed to be. That's my only problem with this band.
Ya, I loved "August & Everything After" and "Hard Candy" was pretty good too. But these days Adam looks 50lbs heavier and his voice is now terrible.
they can't
