Counting Crows- Perfect Blue Buildings (August And Everthing After Live At Town Hall)

[@dantracey9524]

2020 you're a crows fan and you're here... you win. What a f**king song

[@cosmicvagrant3980]

Only on every last Tuesday.

[@robshannon2245]

Love this song remindse of my lost love

[@allanleidholm4450]

This is the first song I really got into on the album. Everybody I shared it with thought I was mental or depressed, or whatever. This song is BEAUTIFULLY HONEST.

[@gagemcneil2720]

Definitely the best off the album.. especially this live version!

[@cosmicvagrant3980]

I knew a chimpanzee named Arthur... He saved me . I'm falling

[@MojoDamm]

The 'new' verse at the end is phenomenal! "Sometimes it snows in April. Sometimes the skies are grey. Sometimes it all looks so familiar to me, and sometimes it's just so fucking strange. So can't you hear me cause I'm screaming, and I did not go outside yesterday. Don't wake me; please don't wake me cause I was dreaming, and I might just stay inside again today. I don't go out much these days. Sometimes I stay inside all day."

[@jamesglut6824]

Mojo Damm i think he also used this lyrics in a live version of mr jones

[@jamesglut6824]

Mojo Damm just from “so cant you hear me...”

[@owenco2273]

Mojo Damm it’s from another counting crows song called millers angels

[@diego2112gaming]

@@owenco2273 even being aware of that, the way he belts it in Perfect Blue Buildings chokes me up every single time. Can't help it. And actually, "Sometimes it snows in April" is the title of a Prince song, whereas everything between that and "Can't you hear me" I think is original to the live cut. I *think.* Also, Recovering the Satellites is one of their best albums.

[@stephenm6137]

Snows in April is a Prince reference

[@donnabreedlove6862]

This song has always represented depression to me. I have read comments on other videos of this song that says it's about addiction. My depression is like"a dead man trying to get out" and often "I wanna get me a little oblivion" and the best thing for me to do is "keep myself away from myself and me". I'm starting to self-isolate again and I don't go outside all day when I have days off. My depression is a struggle between one part of me trying to give up and one part struggling to survive. Adam Duritz describes it perfectly in this song.

[@josephsmith7290]

I understand depression too. It creeps into my dark soul on unexpected times. Adam Duritz is emotionally naked and very in touch with his deep insecurities. I value music that makes me cry as well as smile. August & Everything After represented a strange, familiar place in time. I've seen Counting Crows once live but it wasn't what I wished for. This '90s album captures the innocence as well as the moodiness of being in relationships that falter. 😘 .

[@bridgittemoon7613]

Beautifully said ❤

[@cosmicvagrant3980]

Try to keep myself, away, from me

[@partydogrick]

I was gonna do myself after my ol lady and I split... This song and album helped me cope the six years afterwards.. sometimes if you see someone smiling and happy, don't think they aren't hurting deep inside... That was 28 years ago... Life got better as it went on...

[@Diana2112Gaming]

Sometimes it snows in April... Sometimes the skies are gray... Man it's true... This is the most perfect version of their best song.

[@allanleidholm4450]

This album still comforts me after all these years

[@kirkwatson1442]

One of the greatest albums ever

[@Glostahdude]

This song got me through my first stint in rehab in 97..... the best 12 years of my life followed shortly thereafter. It’s been an up and down rollercoaster ride since Jan 09. This song just sums it all up....

[@frankphillips7436]

This song (and album) were central to the lowest point of my life. Between August and Everything After and Peter Gabriel’s Secret World Live lie almost every bad memory I’d love to erase. Anna Begins brings me so much pain but I have a sadistic obsession with listening to it.

[@Glostahdude]

@@frankphillips7436 the whole album. Front to back. Left to right. All great tracks. When I put this album on I listen to the whole thing. Keep pushing forward!

[@DH27000]

Good luck brother. I get it too

[@DH27000]

I’ve had plenty of miserable 4:30 am’s myself. We’ll be okay bro 🙏🏼

I cry every time. Every.single.time. Thank you!

Miss the days of good music, depth and lyrics. Such a great song.

2024

[@MojoDamm]

Knowing the struggles that Adam has experienced with Dissociative Identity Disorder really puts this song's lyrics into perspective.

[@sizzlethestozzle8885]

How do you know?? Lol, dude is just a song writer/singer

[@jarrodanderson2124]

we know now that DID is not a real diagnosis .

[@InsaneH]

@@jarrodanderson2124 it is tho

[@melsenger84]

@@jarrodanderson2124 Bro I'm a mental health therapist and DID is definitely a real diagnosis, and he did at some point mention having it

[@chrislherb]

Huh weird

[@stevev.508]

Its hard to duplicate the album single but if this album is not on your favorites then u have no soul. Almost 27 years now and it's still awesome!!

[@cyndizimmerman3628]

omg this song has so much deep meaning for me, am typing like crazy of all the little lyrics Adam writes & sings happen to be the story of my life. anyone else? I stay at home with my disease" my dis-ease

[@caroljackson6405]

Totally understand the song as I'm feeling low lost my eldest son this year and so have lost a part of me. I think the songs great regardless of changes every now and then , those who criticized obviously haven't been through the worst

[@jeshectotheworld]

Perfect Song for this Quarantine... I don´t go out much these days, Sometimes I stay inside all day. #covid19 #quarantine

[@RubleNoon]

This song is timeless and beautiful. Best song counting crows spilled .

[@patriciathauberger7495]

Adam is perfect. He takes us on an incredibly journey with his words. Best song ever. Love you Adam ❤❤❤❤❤

[@tri7205]

One of the best live performance bands.

[@craigjcampbell]

This song and the song Miami are incredibly underrated. They regularly appear in my head out of nowhere if there is ever an absence of listening to CC.

[@cosmicvagrant3980]

The Potter's lullaby for me

[@MisterMaster4life]

This is the epiphany of what music should be all about! Simply love it. Btw...Cindy for President

[@toddbuzulis7195]

Reminds me of being young and hitch hiking across the country ,living in a tent trying to find myself ,and working at the canyon and ending up in Alaska with just a backpack !

[@marcknight4568]

This song always gives me chills . it's such a beautiful song and Adam's voice is so real and strong.

[@cosmicvagrant3980]

With out the mandolin... it's just some plain old blue building...

[@michaelshachar]

Best Counting Crows song, and my 10 tops ever.

[@kenprice3746]

[@tonycombo]

Counting crows, August and everything after is in the very top 10 Albums Of My Life. Just randomly I needed to hear "Perfect Blue Buildings" and this hit the spot. Thank you.

[@JonDunnmusician]

Ditto Tony- peace

[@asknordbregn7303]

Best CC song, I simply love this song, I can hear it again and again

[@reblyn14]

I feel very lucky to have been able to tell Adam a few years ago when I happen to run into him, that this song was a favorite of mine, at the time this album came out I was only 13.. And I played this song on repeat.. It soothed me:) he looked stunned when I told him this. I love seeing them perform this song

[@Sarah-fo4kn]

Best song❤️

[@glorifiedng]

WOW man, This song getes better with age. I miss you Matt! Hope you are well my friend.

[@percplayer6415]

Not sure why this wasn’t on the best of. It’s the best song on that album imo.

[@Improvisionary1311]

Well let me tell you, you did an absolute marvelous job. All-time favorite

[@jasonoconnor4650]

I've listened to this every day for the past five years...and it gets better every day...as previously said...it hits the soul hard!!

[@dhrillers]

This is so quiet and beautifull what my heart will never can't explain. Much more when you see the WTC in the background! God bless this Gold Age!

from the moment i first heard blue buildings i grew on me just by the way it should be heard, later i had the lyrics and it stays contemplating my inner.....

[@JonDunnmusician]

Beautiful Beautiful BLUE

[@kirkwatson1442]

It's hard to make music this good

[@Jaquableu]

I woke up with this song in my head. I have been in love with your music ever since I found your CD on the parking lot in Golden Colorado. A long December! Now I own 8 Cd's.

[@sassy2832]

Brilliant song I live it and love it

[@kirkwatson1442]

Soo good...

[@Enarjay7891]

This song is fucking deeeeeeeeep. Isolation, depression, self loathing, severe insomnia.... pure mental anguish. Imagine being able to pour your heart out, and this is what comes out on the other end.

[@terasasanders8155]

I actually went down to Virginia and La Loma about 2 weeks ago when I was staying in Berkeley for work. Pretty chill out of the way area. A little one lane L turn off the campus a bit. There were students there who probably didn't know and wouldn't care why I was there taking pictures.

[@johncusato3919]

I'm surprised they haven't played it more often live...great performance by The Counts...

Just down the street from your hotel, baby I stay at home with my disease And ain't this position familiar, darling Well, all monkeys do what they see Help me stay awake, I'm falling... Down on Virginia and La Loma Where I got friends who'll care for me You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted I got an attitude of need Help me stay awake, I'm falling... [CHORUS:] Asleep in perfect blue buildings Beside the green apple sea Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby Try to keep myself away from me (myself and) me It's 4:30 A.M. on a Tuesday It doesn't get much worse than this In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle of these lives which are completely meaningless Help me stay awake, I'm falling... [CHORUS] I got bones beneath my skin, and mister... There's a skeleton in every man's house Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody There's a dead man trying to get out Please help me stay awake, I'm falling...

[@Nathaniel-r5i]

Adam Duritz and Justin Furstenfeld from Blue October would make the best duo ever. ☮️
