Me and my dad used to listen to Counting Crows back years ago, and this used to be our favorite song, but now that he’s gone, this song sticks with me even more then it used to. Fly high, dad. 1972-2023 🙏🏼😢
I've long said that that this song is very underrated in terms of just being very well written and lyrically deep.Definatly doesn't get it's due other than just being a cliche 90's anthem.For me it's so much deeper than that....one of my all time favs!!
Best Counting Crows song. One of my top 5 of of the 1990s. With all the personal demons, I carried around in those days, I was so fortunate to have this music as my soundtrack.
it had to be from some of the worst of life experiences. "In between the moon and you angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right" "The girl in the car in the parking lot...says 'Man you should really try and take a shot. Can't you see my walls are crumbling' she looks up at the building... " Nuff said. Feel between the lines of the lyrics, don't just listen. Feel the lyrics. The lyrics paints and sad tragedy with beautiful melody. Music appreciatiation is the window to the soul. Tesla said something about 'think of energy as frequency and vibration" or something like that. So good music is where it's at. She says "Ssshhhh, i know it's only in my head. 🎵" sounds like my wife.
Dude. this is one of the songs that sings to be understood. just take it apart and put it back together again. with the lyrics and the music...the way the very end changes through both of those mediums. it's awesome and one of my favorite songs of all time.
Damn. This guy is a lyrical God. He describes one of the most misunderstood personality disorder's- in just a few sentences. That's all I have to say about that.
I personally suffer from issues with mental health, and have spent the majority of my lifetime self-medicating. It has only been very recently that I have been officially diagnosed, and upon being properly medicated therefore, have broken free of my addictions..... This song moves me very deeply, and my heart goes out to all of those those who have lost the battle with mental health, and all those still locked in battle therewith. May God have mercy on them all.
The saddest, most poingent song I have ever read & listened to through "top of the line" headphones. 5 stars! What a Great Band, Lyricist, composer('s)=song!
This is one of those songs that just helps me describe my damage. I spent a chunk of years with a girl who was a lot like the “Maria” described in this song. I eventually had to walk away (a decision I did not make lightly). It left scars, but music like this reminds me that I am not alone in this.
Sadly I was "Maria" back in the day. Left a trail of broken hearts 💔 but I was destroyed as a child and I was a mess most of my life. But I'm 51 now, still here and still married for over 15 years. I stopped running. I stopped...
That pain has been swelling since long through ages. You got cut in the landslide. Watch for your sister to break the cycle. Be her strength, witness her torch, and walk alone in the love that IS. YOU are it.
SmileThroughLife. few songs make me cry these days. but with this song i can understand it. it is a sad song. "the girl in the car in the parking lot says "man you really should take a shot" she looks up at the building and says she is thinking of jumping." Sad song/ it's like... "Every life has value. Every life is important. though have an oddly relatable sound to them. glad i am not like girl n car in parking lot.
One of the things I love about my dad is the fact that he, my brother, my mum and myself loved counting crows and especially this song. It brings back so many memories.
Thanks for posting the lyrics. it helps the hearing impaired. Remembering how music sound and feels is just nostalgia. Feeling the music is sometimes better than listening to music. It helps build the ability to empathize with others. The world's sad and depressed and angry and confused due to Covid -19 and it's variants or remixes. it's just another SARs 2.0.
my wife's name is Maria. she was diagnosed with Covid-19 today. She was feverish yesterday morning but went to work anyway. And came home burning up. i wasn't tested but i most likely have it. ☮️ she's always on my mind. 🎶☮️
Just hope it's bareble for you. Everylife is precious. Put everyone, friend and foe alike in your in-group. your enemy is only yourself. when you realize they live and breathe and suffer just like you. Make every one, one of "us" for universal peace. Life is the consciousness field learning to experience itself. Give the consciousness field a good experience. Can't argue with that. ☮️🖖🎶
I can relate to every line of this song, especially she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous. My favorite line though is we talk like lions but sacrifice like lambs. That's my hometown right there. I hate it here so much.
I was just about to comment the exact same thing about those 2 lines. I love how authentic and vulnerable it is. This song strikes me differently now that I am older. I definitely understand better now than I did back then.
This was written by real people. Most modern music follows a formula for hit songs. And they use plastic fake people who smoke weed while driving their Lamborghini. And give the cheesiest Kraft Macaroni smile for mug shots, cause he knows the producer will bail him out. "Baby Baby No" isn't music. it's repetition. Now this song Round Here is real music made with life experiences of pain and suffering and heartbreak. Modern music is all about statistics and money. Modern music is not about the human heart. The human heart is not binary. Positive or negative. The human heart is filled with mixed emotions and gradients.
I had this cassette tape. It got tangled in my tape player and i pulled it out, cut it, taped it and saved it!! I wore it out listening to this song especially. So deep, so sad, so relatable....best song ever imo.❤❤
Great song, I've seen it on the Radio A hundred times. I didn't really know the lyrics, I'm glad I finally checked it out . I see this song a whole lot Better. It's a Great song I'll remember it forever? Hmm 5 stars
My names Maria, my big sissy committed suicide a week ago at 28, I feel like I’m dying. When she said her last goodbye, I don’t have to jump, I already feel dead inside. If you think about any thoughts call someone please.
I remember me listening to this when I was 20 years old and how my life used to be in that period (A fucking shit), and I really identify myself with "Maria" who is someone really tired of "something" (Living). Round here, she's always on my mind!
I love this song. A friend of mine showed me this a few months back, along with some others. Fell in love straight away. I can kind of relate to lyrics. I love Elvis, amd I am a Christian.
I send this out to all my leadwoodians .. cruising in the hotel California drinking that keystone out da can.... round here we all look the same . We talk like lions but we sacrifice like lambs ...round here
In my interpretation the lyrics are not about a woman or any sort of love situation , but a much more damaging and self-destructive images …more about being haunted by your other self, all the while feeling like you’re drowning with no way out. Rest in peace my precious son ; I would have given anything to save you😢😭😩
Dude the 90s ! Fuck! Where'd u go??!! Miss this shit. Zeta 94.9 on the radio and cruising downtown miami and south beach to go jump off the 1st pier behind Penrods!!!! so much fun!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Im close to the edge, I dont know how much more I can take. I've taken the steps for years. Nothing works. I'm falling and I can't seem to make myself stop. My BPD is destroying my mind. Will it ever stop? Therapy doctors medication. Everything I can try. The help no longer helps.
As someone who sings mostly as a Baritone/Bass I definitely relate to this. Can't hit them highnotes w/o dropping an octave (or 2 lol). The little voice in my head saying "don't quit ur day job" still doesn't stop me from trying as I was dishes or drive alone in my car tho xD
there are server mistakes with the lyrics presented: 1) 0:23 'like a ghost into (A not 'the') fog 2) 0:42 '(Well) I walk in the air between the rain, (no 'and') through the rain' 3) 1:24 '(She) says she'd like to meet...' + '(and) she walks along ...' 4) 1:44 'she parks her car outside (of) my house' + '(no 'she') says she's close to ..' + '(and) she knows she's more than ...' 5) 2:47 'sleeping children (better not gotta)'
"We talked just like lions but we sacrifice like limbs" "We stay very very very very late" "We never get sent to bed early " "They say I'm under the gun" How trains get treated
"in between the moon and you Angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right…Maria parks her car and takes her clothes off…She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous…can't you see my walls are crumbling?…She said sshhh i know. it's only in my head.…i can't see nothing…nothing round here." Thanks for posting the lyrics. i'm losing my hearing. The posted lyrics visuals help the music come through with meaning. otherwise sound blurrs like my myopia. Not unless it's a deep voice like in Disturbed's cover of the Sound of Silence.
Me and my dad used to listen to Counting Crows back years ago, and this used to be our favorite song, but now that he’s gone, this song sticks with me even more then it used to. Fly high, dad. 1972-2023 🙏🏼😢
Sorry, you have my condolences. My father died too 😢 in 2014 he was a musician. A strong embrace from Spain ❤
I am sorry for your loss. I love this band and this song. I was born in 1972 too. Your father died too soon.
Words can not carry the weight of how you feel, yet I understand
So underrated. This song brings back good memories.
In 1994 it was Round Here for all music connoisseurs. This Counting Crows tune still has appeal in 2024.
I've long said that that this song is very underrated in terms of just being very well written and lyrically deep.Definatly doesn't get it's due other than just being a cliche 90's anthem.For me it's so much deeper than that....one of my all time favs!!
Probably my all time favorite song
I agree %100
It’s not underrated. It’s a 10 out of 10

It's about the hypocrisy of raising children. Very cool.

The lyrics, genius. One of the best songs written.
❤ yes!!!
spot on!
Adam Duritz is such an underrated lyricist! If he hadn’t become a singer, he could have written a book of poems and been up there with the greats!
That song is so deep, it had to be written from life experiences.

August and Everything After has my vote for best alternative rock album of the 90s.

Not sure what disorder you’re taking about but yes.
Schizophrenia I think? Correct me if I’m wrong
Dissociative disorder
Umm... No.

There are many Maria’s round here , you’re not alone my friend. You took the best decision.
Sadly I was "Maria" back in the day. Left a trail of broken hearts 💔 but I was destroyed as a child and I was a mess most of my life. But I'm 51 now, still here and still married for over 15 years. I stopped running. I stopped...
@@Ohiogirl419 it wasn't your fault. Damaged people never ask to be damaged but stopping running was the best choice. i wish you well.
It is never about other person, it all about you. Noone can t spend your time unless you allow that.
That pain has been swelling since long through ages. You got cut in the landslide. Watch for your sister to break the cycle. Be her strength, witness her torch, and walk alone in the love that IS. YOU are it.

The lyrics are absolutely amazing. Imagining the mind of the person who wrote them.
He's been through hell and back and came out a little richer or not. It's an early to mid-1990s song.
One of the things I love about my dad is the fact that he, my brother, my mum and myself loved counting crows and especially this song. It brings back so many memories.

Back when I was first drawn to dog-on-woman stories, Counting Crows really spoke to me. Now my niece, Fluffy, is dead. Bless, Adam.
First time hearing this song and i am in love with it xoxox amazing
Do you remember your life before hearing this?

This song is unbelievable...poetic..
paints a serious, deep, helpless, picture .....I have a lot of suicide in my family....it hurts.
Sad to know this is the experience of far too many on this planet...thank you Crows for singing truth no matter how much it hurts

Most conservative and compassionate merciful rock song lyrics
Why isn’t music this good anymore?
This was written by real people. Most modern music follows a formula for hit songs. And they use plastic fake people who smoke weed while driving their Lamborghini.

Id say laziness. Songs today sound like they were written in five minutes while dropping "friends" off at the pool.
Love this song
Still my favorite song of all time.
Very underrated band. Love you Adam

Two a clock in the morning and I'm of to bed! But I've been listening to gnr and mettalica and wendigos! I love this album so much! Mad ain't it ❤️
Some good memories of that special person.
No one sings more expressively better than Adam.
Oh man still one of my FAVS to play on the drums. 😍😍
I understand how Maria feels...... misunderstood , different, suicidal. Tired of life, tired of something.....
Thanks for the advice . I've been fighting this battle for 20 year now and I'll be ok. I'm soon to start seeing a therapist.
For me it's chronic / lifelong but that's what makes my life interesting. If I had no battles my life would be boring
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my comment I made about understanding the emotions of the person in the song.

I really don't think 'Maria' is even a Christian. But art is up for interpretation, so *shrug*
the songs about suicide so it's not about Elvis or believing in God
Jess Leeming dumb ass
So what's you being a Christian has to do with this song?

I feel that in my soul. . . . Who or what are you missing, my friend? 🤍💙💛
I send this out to all my leadwoodians .. cruising in the hotel California drinking that keystone out da can.... round here we all look the same . We talk like lions but we sacrifice like lambs ...round here
Great song, thanks for posting the lyrics. But they just transition a little bit too slow, we always missed the first line!
This song reminds me of Seattle and what it once was.
"She parks her car outside my house and takes her clothes off she says shes close to understnading jesus" this man is a lyrical god
joshua martinez plz explain I’m not being sarcastic
In my interpretation the lyrics are not about a woman or any sort of love situation , but a much more damaging and self-destructive images …more about being haunted by your other self, all the while feeling like you’re drowning with no way out.
Rest in peace my precious son ; I would have given anything to save you😢😭😩

I absolutely love this song. I wish I could get into the upper notes, but the song always loses me with my limited vocal range.
Hey, whats sung in the shower, STAYS in the shower.
I say just go for it.
I totally hear ya.....try as I might I can't nail the vocal swings either but I still like *trying*. Adam does a masterful job on it.
As someone who sings mostly as a Baritone/Bass I definitely relate to this. Can't hit them highnotes w/o dropping an octave (or 2 lol). The little voice in my head saying "don't quit ur day job" still doesn't stop me from trying as I was dishes or drive alone in my car tho xD

everybody is dying. Life is a terminal condition. Some just go home faster than others.
