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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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. ☮️🖖🎶
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 🎶☮️
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.
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😢😭😩
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.
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
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.❤❤
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 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 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.
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.
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!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
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)'
