It’s 2021 and I’m realizing their songs are so beautiful. Guess I was too high in “high” school to recognize the greatness I was singing along to. If you’re reading this, I love you.
💖💖💖 "This was not depression. This was not workaholism. I have a fairly severe mental illness that makes it hard to do my job - in fact, makes me totally ill suited for my job. I have a form of dissociative disorder that makes the world seem like it’s not real, as if things aren’t taking place. It’s hard to explain, but you feel untethered. And because nothing seems real, it’s hard to connect with the world or the people in it because they’re not there. You’re not there. That’s why I rarely saw my family back then: It’s hard to care when everything feels as if it’s taking place in your imagination. And if you’re distant with people, especially women you’re romantically involved with, they eventually leave. What makes my case even worse is that every night I go out on stage and have this incredible emotional connection between me, the band, and the audience. Then, just like that, it’s over. I go backstage, back to the bus, back to my hotel room, and sit there all by myself. That deep connection is yanked away in an instant. It’s like breaking up with your girlfriend over and over again, every night." Adam Duritz - Counting Crows.
LEERILEY33 in all honesty I had never heard this beautiful song until I watched a certain movie! Lol. As soon as I heard it I had my son buying the soundtrack on his way home! This song is absolutely beautiful! It’ll never get old to me! Watching it performed live can be breathtaking!
The meaning behind this song is sad as hell. It’s about a dissociative disorder where you practically see life as if it were a movie. The singer himself has this disorder. To watch him sing it is astounding.
@@VicInNocal Please look up depersonalization/derealization as a symptom or disorder. Plenty to soak in online. It’s hard to explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it, much like trying to explain what to be drunk is actually like to someone who’s never been in any kind of altered state before (even in a state of extreme fear). To put it out there ahead of time - Depersonalization / Derealization (DP / DR) is not a fond altered state in any shape or form. Completely the opposite. It’s like if the act of an hour-long, deep meditation session brought you *less* peace by every passing minute… With DP/DR, you feel that you *ARE* detached from the world and yourself, and even somewhat all that you know about yourself (a state of disbelief almost), in the worst way imaginable. It’s like you’re a ghost even to yourself. Think long enough about that one. Indeed, many a time when I’ve experienced DP/DR I described it as if a veil was placed in front of me. Later on, I read that exact description somewhere online (in a medical article). The same way you watch a movie and know without having to remind yourself “This is a movie.”, all throughout watching the movie, that’s what opening your eyes up to the world around you feels like when experiencing DP/DR. Except I would refer it as “This doesn’t feel like real life.”
It's not a performance it's him he has a disorder that makes everyone and everything around him seem imaginary not real it's actually hard for him to do his job because he doesn't feel tethered to reality truth
I don't see how anyone could not like this performance. It has so much power in it..so much feeling. It's so intense. It brings this song to another level.
i love the way he just stares into the audience between the lines of lyrics. He looks just so innocent and you could tell he's pouring everything he's got into it. It's amazing and beautiful.
Muero con esta canción. La amo. Si uno es capaz de amar "cosas" esta pinche canción es una de esas cosas. La amo. Es definitivamente el soundtrack de mi vida. La amo.
First time watching the actual singer I just heard this song when I watched cruel intentions for the first time it was a amazing romance drama movie I loved every bit.
Cruel intentions was one of my favourite movies in my late teens, i was bowled over by this song in one of the films scenes, it was so perfect. Having read the comments on here i had no idea about the motivation behind the lyrics. Absolutely beautiful song.
it's actually meant to be uplifting because the singer realizes and understands his personal situation but is ready to move on from it (as I'm sure anyone who's had the same feelings eventually would too). This evidenced by the fact that "pull me out from inside" is the only line in every verse.
You just can close your eyes and feel the emotion in his voice.. don't need to look him, JUST LISTEN. Means alot, a great letter and melody. The PIANO, gorgeous.
Parole banali che una accanto all'altro diventano poesia...come una voce, un interpretazione, una musica possano trasportarti dentro loro, e dentro te...unici...
Songs like this are what make artist or people who are use to other generes of music embrace another.....I'm mostly a Oldies, R&B, Hip Hop kind of guy.....This song is beautiful...literally.....Man!!!!....99% of the World feels like this...And if they tell you different there lying.....We all Love eachother so much, but our love for eachother some how turns into pain, suffering, and hate and the forgetting of ones self and who they really are.......Pull me out from inside!!!
One of the best songs ever and one of the most underrated bands of all time. They're absolutely phenomenal.
Agree without a doubt
The best song....the best live....def phenomenal.....😍🥰❤️🤩
My personal favorite song by Counting Crowes💙
It’s 2021 and I’m realizing their songs are so beautiful. Guess I was too high in “high” school to recognize the greatness I was singing along to. If you’re reading this, I love you.
They were my favourite band growing up as a teenager. Now in my 40s, they sound even better. Seeing them next tour

Thank you for posting this in the comments.
I love this video always
“I am covered in skin...no one gets to come in...pull me out from inside” 😩 these words
"i am covered in skin...no one gets to come in.." Adam is an amazing lyricist and an even better performer
“I’m impressed”
“Well, I’m in love”
Yess 👍🏾

I absolutely love it when singer shows the emotion portrayed through the song. It gives the song a whole new meaning.
The meaning behind this song is sad as hell. It’s about a dissociative disorder where you practically see life as if it were a movie. The singer himself has this disorder. To watch him sing it is astounding.
Cable Vamp it's called depersonalisation disorder or derealisation disorder. I suffer from it it's horrible.
@@SnakeBiteGaming I’m there with you. (I experience it too. So many don’t know what it is. And they never will. Good for them.)
What does that even mean to see life as if it's a movie?

Wow, I had no idea. I thought it was about him being biracial.
Is anyone else ready to give him a group hug after this?
I definitely am. He's shaking so hard towards the end. It's hard to watch.
he is almost crying. incredible performance
the moment you thought love was in the air it is the was again that's life the not
It's not a performance it's him he has a disorder that makes everyone and everything around him seem imaginary not real it's actually hard for him to do his job because he doesn't feel tethered to reality truth
Always loved the humility of this song. But this performance blew me away for its beautiful honesty 💗
one of the most touching songs
I don't see how anyone could not like this performance. It has so much power in it..so much feeling. It's so intense. It brings this song to another level.
this song is absolutely stunning... I can't find words to describe it... it makes me melacholic
this song wrapped up in one word VULNERABLE
I love how passionately he sings this
The beauty of this song is that it's so honest
Love it! Some people find it depressing, but for me it's vibe creates ultimate serenity
One of the Best Songs of all times. And this Version is my Favorit. Greetings from Germany
damn that piano is sounding amazing
the "i am covered in skin, no one gets to come in" part always gives me goosebumps. i love the very powerful, emotional performances like this one.
This made me cry. I've rarely seen or heard somebody sing that emotionally and incredibly touching. Absolutely amazing!
This has got to be the most beautiful song I've ever heard. It moves me to tears every time.
Absolutely lovely. I can feel this song in my soul when I close my eyes.
I cannot believe the sheer magnitude of Adam's energy. He literally pushes the song out from his soul.
This gave me shivers, literally. So beautiful.
song brings tears brings back a lot of memories
going out to the movies. Is that legal anymore?
Ditto ❤
i love the way he just stares into the audience between the lines of lyrics. He looks just so innocent and you could tell he's pouring everything he's got into it. It's amazing and beautiful.
Beautiful song and performance! Go Adam! You can really see the emotion on his face.
That's how you should sing a song like this live. Did Not just phone it in like a lot a bands do with slower songs like this. Well done
Muero con esta canción. La amo. Si uno es capaz de amar "cosas" esta pinche canción es una de esas cosas. La amo. Es definitivamente el soundtrack de mi vida. La amo.
This is seriously such a beautifully emotional song....I love it!! The piano is amazing and I love his voice.
This song touches me so much, all these years later it's a joy to listen to it again, wow who can propose better today ?
Still in love with this song @ 2016
First time watching the actual singer I just heard this song when I watched cruel intentions for the first time it was a amazing romance drama movie I loved every bit.
WOW!!! That was a intensely emotional performance! Shivers & Goosebumps!
Cruel intentions was one of my favourite movies in my late teens, i was bowled over by this song in one of the films scenes, it was so perfect. Having read the comments on here i had no idea about the motivation behind the lyrics. Absolutely beautiful song.
Oh. My. Gosh. The emotion in his voice and face make me want to crumple up in a ball and cry, but at the same time I can't stop listening to the song!
Awesome live performance. Such immense feeling in this voice... a sad and beautiful song that touches my heart.
he seems to me fighting tears during the entire song..
but then again, who wouldn't?..
The emotions when he wraps his arms around himself at 2.00 is so heartbreaking. Such an unbelievably beautiful song. Makes me cry every time I see it!
this song is SO beautiful, every time i hear it i tear up just because it just like touches you...i don't know. i first heard it in cruel intentions
This is so, so, so beautiful.... One of their best songs.
No word's,only feel's ...
cant get enough of this song, this version is very touching and strong.
I love this song❤. Great live performance.
One of the best songs ever written. Even better, one of the best live performances to go along with it. PERFECTION.
Powerful performance.. This is why I love Counting Crows..
I'm crying, I broke down. It's been a while since I could shed a tear. Thank you.
This is the most beautiful song (almost) ever.
I want this played at my funeral.

i could swear he could have shed tears any moment.
nobody shows as much passion in music as counting crows
Such breathtaking performance, Talent, soul, warmth. Such great artist, such honest man. I'm just glad Duritz exists...
