When I first listened to this new material I thought it was great. But when I saw the film I almost broke into tears. I love this band, and I will always do. Thanks Counting Crows for this!
Glad to see you guys are still around. "Color blind" was so great in cruel intentions. I have an awesome story for yall. One time I was driving home and I felt the presence of Jesus come down and he got right by me. I started getting chills and I felt so comfortable with him. I knew if I asked him to play any song he would. So I said "Ok Lord, play Come as you are by nirvana..." I turned on my radio and the song began right on the spot, perfectly. I started getting flooded on the inside like a waterfall of chills by the Holy Spirit and started crying. I got home and he stayed with me for 10 minutes til I got out of the car. Since then, I've been getting answered prayers for nearly 5 years. Many involving other people. I know many other people who get answered prayers. Praying in Jesus name and following the Biblical instructions.
Amen I came to introduce myself "August and Everything After" I love all the song knew Adam was a great song writer. Love that guy but we also must give huge credit to his band classic players.
For me it's the reverse, Counting Crows have been around my entire life. I remember hearing Mr Jones, A Long December, and Hanginaround on the radio as a little kid, as well as Accidentally In Love from Shrek 2(which has one of the greatest soundtracks ever). The memory of those songs led me to buy Films About Ghosts and then the rest of their albums, which became a quintessential part of the soundtrack to my teen angst. Now I'm an adult and they remain one of my favorite bands ever!
@@ProbablyUnacceptable Yup. I didn't need the visuals, but the music was on point. The transitions between the songs was insane. It didn't do it for you?
@@christopherarbor6208 oddly enough, not at all and I love every single thing I have heard up until now. I will give it a few more chances to see if it wears on me but not looking hopeful
I just "fell out of music" for a period in the late 2000s and early 2010s and lost touch with a lot of music. About a month ago, I randomly thought of a Counting Crows song, and I realized I hadn't listened to them in years (I *think* I own "Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings"), so pulled them up on Spotify. I fell back in love with the band. Then, after Adam was on JRE, I went back to listen and watch the video for Mr. Jones and realized: it was from 1993. The year I started college. No wonder I listened to them so much. They WERE my college soundtrack. Every girl I though back about from high school, every moody walk I took trying to figure out where my life was going, all of it was in August & Everything After. And, I won't even go into how many times I listened to the Unplugged set. So, huge thank to JRE for putting Adam on and bringing me back to the band I became an adult with. Looking forward to getting back to what I used to listen to, what I missed since, and what's coming on the new stuff.
I actually MET none other than ADAM DURITZ recently! I know his current girlfriend-who actually plays Z the Cat here!-and she was performing in a play, which Adam Duritz and I were both audience members were, and after the show, she introduced me to him! It was a brief hello but it made my night!
The more I watch this, the better it gets. I've seen (and played) a lot of shows, I'll always maintain that you guy's are of the best live bands I've ever seen.
Had no idea what to expect, what I witnessed was the most beautiful piece of art I have ever seen/heard.....The birth of a masterpiece, what a privilege to be around when this was created.....
It's truly remarkable Adam, that through these years you can again bring your Amazing voice and enthralling story telling through your songs! The Fan-family is blessed to hear the magic you guys are making again! LEGENDS!
Wow, this is another wonderful video - and Counting Crows doing it like only they can do it Truly great and can’t wait for more material Love this band
I've cried so much listening to this new stuff. Incredible how much this resonates to the core, its just unreal. So glad I got to see them play it live last weekend ❤
"Tall Grass" brings back many memories of the girl who took her own life in the lyrics in "Round Here". Her request saying "come outside" never seems to leave his thoughts.
round here...waiting for the live stream....round here, where the puns are really mean. round here we talk just like lions, but we freak out like fans...round here, I'm clapping my hannnds....
You should check out The Luminers' III. The released two EPs and when they got to three planned Thor's EP and we're setting to do a video it ended up being a film incorporating all three EPs. The film is very very moving. No talking all music and shot in New York State.
Counting crows always do what they do perfectly, and without letting expectations change things. Honestly the perfect band. Brilliant people. I love them.
Every now and then something comes along to lift and inspire you. This is the Counting Crows in my life. ; and so we kept living. I will not share my life but a lot of it has been broken, Adam and his music has been like a band-aid!
I have to apologize. When I first listened to Butter Miracle Suite I didn't like it at all. But now, I think it is the most brilliant thing Counting Crows has ever done.I haven't stopped hearing it in my head fir 2 weeks, and the video answers all the questions I had. Freaking love it!
The depth of the lyrics and music, the revolving themes that interplay with one another...particularly on Tall Grass, are truly some of their best work. I like it better after at least 100 listens...it keeps revealing layers.
Truly a Miracle that this smooth Butter has touched my life as much or even more than the rest of Counting Crows albums. I’ve never seen a group perform live more than Crows. Haven’t missed a Denver show since the first.
Speechless for once I am lol....I really didn't want to stop watching just so beautiful and cord striking many ways for me 🎯 🎬🎥To all the cast and crew WOW!... Long live Alice ! ♡Counting Crows Thank you
Holy shit. This is amazing. I've continued to follow this band over the years, they were my favorite when I was younger and really haven't been into them in a long time... lots of great albums and singles, but I always wondered if they'd every really produce something as extraordinary as their debut... Now they have. Time to contact everyone you know who once loved this band and tell them to check this out.
I love this! When I first heard the songs it was as if the Counting Crows universe inside my head shifted like in the movie Inception. New meanings and pathways were created, the relationships between lyrics and musical themes morphed. Everything was different and yet so familiar. Now that I see the video, it adds another dimension. Just like the Palisades Park video did for that song, the Butter Miracle Suit One video fills in some of the blanks, it colours in some meaning and it strengthens the ties to what was before.
Butter Miracle is perfect. Magnificent storytelling that reached into my memories and reminded me of people and places I used to know. It was good to see them all again.
I come back to this masterpiece every so often, along with the Palisades Park video, for an uplifting cry 🥲 and I wonder to myself “are Counting Crows my favourite ever band?….quite possibly” and then I move on for a bit to all the other great music in the world. But I know I’ll be back here again soon ❤️

I m here after I listened again yesterday after more than 20 years the album August and everything after . Ages. I remember in the 1999 me as a young guy with all the difficulties to settle in work and circumstances and that's where Mrs Potters especially was kicking... a repeat in my ears. I had a kind of fit of nostalgia yesterday thinking at that, music has the power to bring you back to remember old times. There is always a piece of Maria in every song, true, happy that I found out this band is still rocking.
One more thing. I’ve heard people say life is strange. I reply life is not strange at All. I say it is all about giving thanks and Counting your blessings.
This is brilliant! Haven´t seen this untill today. Love you, guys. I had made lot´s of covers of your songs in the 90´s, and it´s a pleasure to see you making good music nowadays. Keep rockin.
Great to see Lev and Christopher back. Although as diffrent characters. I was thrown off though wondering if Andy was the same Andy from Scarecrow and Palasades Park. Then realised there is a 20 year diffrence. One was from the late 60s early 70s. And this group the Rat Kings is from 1993. Lol
O yeah. It’s remarkable how you remain grateful and grateful and innocent with the heart of a child. Stay forever Amazeballs and Crazeballs. I will always Stay in awe.
I've loved Counting Crows since August and Everything After. A rue masterpiece of a generation. I'm going to see them in Sheffield on the 13th October and hopefully one day I'll also support them on tour. Thanks for the inspiration guys.
I've been a fan since September of '93 when August and everything after dropped that album I have worn out number of times CD cassette tapes and I will always have that in my collection. Their music is h ip. Help me through some very dark times in my life. Life changes separations divorce loss of life amongst others and I think Adam and the rest of the guys are simply brilliant with what they do sometimes it seems like they wrote some songs just for me but they didn't. They wrote it for all of us😊
I kinda hate to admit how much this made me relate with past relationships. Adam, thanks for always being honest and teaching us your/our mistakes. I love you, mate.
After 28 years, I never thought the love for this band could ever reach a new level. It just did!!! Utterly beautiful!!
Fully agree! This is phenomenal!
Butterly Eautiful!
YES!! Isn't it absolutely fantastic!?! Career-long fan here, too...each album is like a new friend that gets you!
Utterly Butterly?
When I first listened to this new material I thought it was great. But when I saw the film I almost broke into tears. I love this band, and I will always do. Thanks Counting Crows for this!
The filmwork made this better.
I learned about this a half-hour ago. I did break into tears.
Almost??? I DID break into tears!!
I was the exact opposite. Just like with their last 4 albums. Takes me a couple of listens to realize how amazing their new stuff is...every time.

I've been listening to Adam since the band Himalayans
You DO!!

@Johnny Boone, TY! Apparently, I’m not the only one…!
I didn't think it was possible for the Counting Crows to get any better or for me to love them more than I already do. I was wrong on both counts.
...and, this..... this did that for you ?

I think this is Duritz at his very best.
My Saturday nights and Sunday morning soundtrack of my life.
That was awesome. Takes me back to the Scarecrow and Palisades Park video with Ed and Andy. Loved those.
Easily the best Crows since This Desert Life.
Agreed!
Yeah, spot on that
I think Hard Candy and Saturday Night & Sunday Mornings were better.
I agree.
This Desert Life is my favorite CC

Then unplugged set is a masterpiece! I can relate to a lot of this.
So proud to have worked on this, can’t wait to see the results!
what's a specialty rigger?
@@madgedeepers5746 In this case I was flying performers and designing the systems to get them in the air and keep them there safely.
You should be proud! It turned out FANTASTIC. Great work!
The results are terrific!
So I'm curious were the Dark Angel's wings practical effect or very good CGI?
I actually MET none other than ADAM DURITZ recently!
I know his current girlfriend-who actually plays Z the Cat here!-and she was performing in a play, which Adam Duritz and I were both audience members were, and after the show, she introduced me to him!

Me too.
Had no idea what to expect, what I witnessed was the most beautiful piece of art I have ever seen/heard.....The birth of a masterpiece, what a privilege to be around when this was created.....
I loved this band when I was 5 and I still love them at 26
I've never seen a work like that. Excellent is not enough to describe it.
check out the Lumineers. If you enjoy this.
Lots of love to Counting Crows from one Zee the cat who is thrilled to have her name in one of their songs.
"My g-generation hasn't even got a name of its own."
I felt that.
So sad Ed and Andy didn't make the band reunion.
But what a ride!
And it is quoting "My Generation" from "The Who", where Roger Daltrey "stutters" parts of the lyrics.
It's truly remarkable Adam, that through these years you can again bring your Amazing voice and enthralling story telling through your songs! The Fan-family is blessed to hear the magic you guys are making again! LEGENDS!
I always loved the idea of one long continuous song/album, since I heard Marillion's Misplaced Chilhood
Simply amazing. Counting Crows forever.
Man, this is such a wonderful throwback. Thank you for 30 years of great music!
Will always be a top go-to band for me. Music and song writing just hits different
I watch this film over and over.
Wow, this is another wonderful video - and Counting Crows doing it like only they can do it
Truly great and can’t wait for more material
Love this band
It was wonderful to see Clifton in this video!!! You all did an amazing job!!!!!
Some things never change. Im still in 90s 😁
I've cried so much listening to this new stuff. Incredible how much this resonates to the core, its just unreal. So glad I got to see them play it live last weekend ❤
I'm so jealous. Was looking forward to their show in March but it got cancelled (again). One day maybe..
Adams voice sounds great ! The music is spot on ! Great job to all !
"Tall Grass" brings back many memories of the girl who took her own life in the lyrics in "Round Here". Her request saying "come outside" never seems to leave his thoughts.
Wow! This is brilliant. An entire connected series of songs and now videos...an entire film. Absolutely love it!
I'll be round here, waiting for it.
I'm Hanging Around too
you guys are great
Maria says she’s dying...through the door I hear her crying why? 4 days to go... lol
Love the thumbnail, because Grey is my favorite color...

Adam THANK YOU as a 46 yr old fan thank you!
Beautifully done. A refreshing take on music, storytelling and entertainment.
Miracle 😇😇😇
