Adam Duritz is such a freaking legend with words and the way he delivers the songs is incredible. He knows how to paint the picture so you can see it in your mind when you close your eyes. He's so talented!! I love him!!

One million percent agreed. I hadn't heard this version before but for me nothing compares to the original. It's awesome that live CC always switches it up but for this, yes, the original is EVERYTHING.

If you want to understand the whole story of the song, watch the video of it from their VH1 Storytellers show in 97. It's a story about the right thing at the wrong time. The situation just couldn't work at the time Adam and Anna met. They were young, and Adam was from California and Anna from Australia, and back in 1987 there just wasn't a way to make things work without uplifting their whole lives. So they just tried to remain in denial of their actual feelings for each other.

As I understand it, the genesis of this song is that while a younger man, Adam was on a short holiday on a Greek island, where he met "Anna". The two fell in love, but they knew they'd soon be worlds apart.

The story behind this song is that he was backpacking through Europe and he met a girl and they started a relationship that was just supposed to be a holiday fling, but as time went on, they slowly started to realize that it was growing into something more. They were reluctant to admit it because they knew they were going to have to go back to their lives on opposite ends of the world. The song is a beautiful display of transition from denial, to reluctant admission, then to the sorrow of not being able to do anything about it.

Counting Crows often changes the melody during different performances. This one is much more musically interesting than the album version. In that one, the instrumentals fade to the background and it’s just his hollow introspective voice… with a bit of a different inflection. I can’t say which is better, but I like that you can rediscover the same CC songs for the first time when they change up like this. I really like the reaction and the interpretation!

Music sounds great, but yeah the vocal delivery is better on the album. This mainly sounds like he's talking. Adam's voice is amazing. Not sure why he seems to like performing this song this way. Maybe to give people a different experience than hearing the album version?

Dude wanted a casual relationship so much he loved bombing his friend with holidays to a coconut island. he promised he'd even change his name if that's what she meant (Get married) She warned that she had feelings for him but she believed he was just smitten with desire and she didn't want her heart broken.. He continued to reassure her that everything was ok. He gets what he wants and falls in love. He can't believe he has fallen in love but she's now being pushed away by her doubts of his sincerity in the first place and his change in behaviour.

I notice that an awful lot of these comments are suggesting the studio verison. This is a live version that's much closer and has nearly the same emotional content (but still quite different): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIake6qKg7-Xr80 ; But the studio/album version is REALLY stellar, so either would be great

This rendition works if you know the original song, but... only in that context. This... I couldn't possibly call this "bad," but... this is a severely divergent arrangement of this song, drastically different, and it's a little too avant garde to be a good representation for the song, in its time. I would highly, highly recommend doing this again with a more contemporaneous version that hews a little closer to the source album (August and Everything After). This song is much better than this.
