DUDE....Just saw a song I hadnt heard in years. 1975. Jefferson Starship(during the 60s they were Jefferson Airplane)....."Miracles"...its a slow song, about love....but its a classic, I know you would dig the tune and the lyrics. and the song strikes such emotion....much like Mr Jones here today.... Enjoy!

This whole album "August and Everything After" is very special to me. One of my top albums of all time. It's a perfect record. It got me through some hard times in college and holds a special place for me. The song "Anna Begins" will still make me weep 25 years later. Everything on this album is amazing. The hits, the deep cuts, everything is so good.

This song recounts a night where “Mr Jones” & Adam Duritz (the singer) were hanging out at a bar (New Amsterdam) where Mr Jones’ father was playing flamenco & that Spanish dancer Maria was performing with him. Adam & Mr Jones noticed that the drummer in Chris Isaak’s band was in another part of the room surrounded by women, & they began to fantasize about how cool it would be to break into the rock scene & be popular & surrounded by groupies…it’s basically a recounting of that night, of the dreams of hitting it big….very ironic that a song about making the big time actually became the Counting Crows big breakout hit.

Dave Bentley no, Marty Jones is a real person and a friend of Duritz. Whole song is based on an actual event. “On an episode of VH1's Storytellers, Adam explained: "It's really a song about my friend Marty and I. We went out one night to watch his dad play, his dad was a Flamenco guitar player who lived in Spain (David Serva), and he was in San Francisco in the mission playing with his old Flamenco troupe. And after the gig we all went to this bar called the New Amsterdam in San Francisco on Columbus and we got completely drunk. And Marty and I sat at the bar staring at these two girls, wishing there was some way we could go talk to them, but we were too shy. We kept joking with each other that if we were big rock stars instead of such loser, low-budget musicians, this would be easy. I went home that night and I wrote a song about it. I joke about what it's about, that story. But it's really a song about all the dreams and all the things that make you want to go into doing whatever it is that seizes your heart, whether it's being a rock star or being a doctor or whatever. “

Listening brought back good memories, but hearing you talk about your own childhood brought back more. Thank you. I just clicked on this because I hadn’t heard the song in a while.

I remember back in the day seeing them open for the Rolling Stones at Giants Stadium and they were so good. A young band starting out and being able to hold there own in a setting like that was inspiring. Our Friends were sitting in a different section during the show and when we met up afterwards we couldn't stop talking about how great the Counting Crows were. They held their own that night and really opened my eyes to how good their music is.

The only other song to equal these two, from around the same time would be Hey Jealousy from the Gin Blossoms.

Suggest you go back to Dylan's "Ballad of a Thin Man" and his Mr. Jones as the inspiration for this song.

"Me and Mr. Jones" This song is a recollection of his diminished sober self and his relationship with his super energized high profile extrovert high self. It's an answer to the question, "Why do you like to get high?" His desire to be loved and "never be alone" is something he doesn't feel he can achieve as his normal self, but for Mr. Jones all these things come naturally. It's very much a Jekyll and Hyde situation.

Daylight Fading and Have You Seen Me Lately got me through my 90's relationship blues so many times... Songs you just won't hear on the radio anymore.

Jamel, you should check out the band 311 and their song "Down". You would love it. They groove, vibe and flow. You def need to hear this band.

This song is the best. My favorite line of any song...”I would buy myself a gray guitar and play”. The way he sings it. My kids even sing it with me now.

So glad you’re doing Counting Crows. Adam Duritz such a phenomenal lyricist. My fav songs by them are Murder of One and Rain King. Also lyrical masterpieces! Love you!

Locked up in an apartment jamming out. A pandemic social distancing performance 27 years before it was the new normal. Love these guys and never get tired of hearing them. Still on every "favorites" playlist I put together. Oddly enough their sound goes really well with Blues Traveler and I always end up putting their tracks next to each other.

Love them the vocals are awesome. . A Long December is one of my favs of theirs. Wow your dream about the shoes reminds me of dreaming I could have store bought dresses. My mom made all my clothes until I was 11. Now I appreciate how great a seamstress she was.

Saw these guys in concert in Portland, Oregon on the tour to support the album this song is on. Got there early to get in the front and Adam Duritz come up and started talking to us like he was there to see the show too. Of course we recognized him and asked for an autograph which he was happy to do for us. Very down to earth guy.
