The weird thing is teenagers from every generation right on from when it was made to right now like this song and still play it to this day.

Somehow this guy connected with everyone!!

Not even kidding. I'm 36 and still listen to it today.

I work for a dude that was 10 years older than me and he had this on his list of songs playing while we were working. Lol.

Timeless. Maybe the best song ever

I’m not a huge Counting Crows fans but this dude wrote the lyrics “Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white. And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.”. Beautiful. August is a brilliant album.

Man I miss the 90s, all the music from the 90s is just a vibe that can’t be matched. My childhood had a lot of bad shit in it but the happiest most comfortable times I remember was driving in the car with my mom and brother listening to Nirvana, Oasis, Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms, what a time to be alive

Angel Sunlight

@Mucci SebastiánI agree with you but also most “rock bands” we’re being fed nowadays suck whereas back in the 90’s, even electronic music was good like Fat Boy Slim, Moby, Engima etc.

Arwald C

Yep, 95 I was I 10 or 11 and the Beatles were my fav band. When I got to middle school around 96 older kids turned me onto “alternative” like smashing pumpkins, oasis, RHCP (although I know they were in the 80’’s too) Green Day etc. first CC song I heard was Long December and loved it

This is a genuinely underrated band. Most people forgot about them after August (which for me remains their best album and my favourite ever) but they don’t know about the experimentation the crows went for later on… country, punk rock, old-school folk - with the one thing in common being Duritz’s truly awesome lyricism

For the record, Mr.Jones is one of those songs that I don’t get sick of. “Believe in me. Help me believe in anything cause I want to be someone who believes” —classic, unforgettable lyrics

Facts

Mercurial Shift

I feel like people carry a bit of the time they were teenagers with them throughout their lives. Whether it be the music, the fashion, the style, even the humour of the time. I can also remember when the ‘alternative’ era was ending. I was pissed. I feel like it was around 99. I was in grade 12. Britney Spears, boy bands, and hip hop took over. Everyone started wearing less flannel and more khakis. Then fashion went downhill from there. I wore doc martens everyday for several years afterward in protest. Lol. It’s almost as if the nineties was a combo of the best of the sixties, seventies and eighties mashed together. Which is what made it so unique and cool.

3VAN

Just turned 20 and man I hate all the social media and shit like that. No one can experience life anymore their so desensitized. I just wish I was a teen in the 90’s so bad. Growing up with the beginning of smart phones and social media is such a curse in disguise. We’ll make it right one day I know that…

Same thing, bu with my mom. 5 years ago and everything. When I was Adams bellman at my hotel, a year after my mom passed, I balled my eyes out in the bell closet after. His manager also gave me a $50 to deliver Adams bags. That was basically my whole days worth of tips in one trip. So I always think about her and them when mr jones comes on.

Their first album was absolutely brilliant. One of the best of the decade. I still listen to it from time to time on purpose and I still hear it on the radio. Yes, I still listen to the radio. And, it's still great. I'll listen to it for the rest of my life and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. If they had never done another thing, that's a pretty amazing thing to have put into the world.

Adam is the epitome of naturally smooth and cool. His lyrics resonate deeply for me. I have the lyrics to most, if not all of his songs burned into brain. He reached my heart when it was literally buried in sorrow. His words reached me. Such a talented man. I hope he feels how cool he really is. Gray is my favourite colour.

I watched Counting Crowes live at Sun City in South Africa. They were phenomenal. Adam was a really wonderful surprise, so charismatic and a great performer. He engaged so nicely with the audience. I remember them adding a whole new verse to Round Here. It was a moment in time where everyone was transfixed in the moment. No one moved or spoke. It was like that - magical.

Jay Bee

That album helped get me through a rough time. In the moment I didn't realize it but looking back it was the music I enveloped myself in that helped me navigate a dark chapter. When I revisit those albums I can't help but relive the memories. They are forever intertwined.

People can be so insensitive. They are hypercritical of others and put way too much importance on the superficial. It is so shallow. And it can be spirit breaking unless you are very tough. Adam, you are a wonderful gifted writer and a compelling performer who is incredibly talented. Don't ever forget it. And try to just tune out the shade throwers, they could never do anything close to what you have done. When I hear, "Man, I wish I was beautiful:" I want to jump up and tell you that you are. PS- I love your fringed jacket that you wear in Mr. Jones, in fact I have one just like it

How could there be any backlash for that video? It's a beautiful and vulnerable song. There's something in there for everyone, it's speaks to the human condition. A voice of that small part of us that so desperately wants to be accepted. It's a good song man, thank you so much.

I remember back in '94 a coworker telling me about a Counting Crows album (tape) being great w/every song. I bought it and still love singing along. Recently I've gotten to listen to Adam on the History Channel doc about "The Viper Room (or Club)" and now this. If by any chance you read these comments...Adam, I love you more than before through getting to hear you talk about those times. What a real person with a brilliantly creative mind struggling to navigate this difficult world. Hope you are well.

It’s weird because I don’t normally think of Counting Crows as one of my top bands, but a couple of their songs hit me so deeply in my core in a way that is so rare. It feels like they both shatter me and empower me by feeling understood at the same time. And “Anna Begins” was so central to one of the most beautiful, painful, and important chapters of my life. They are so good and a band I wish I could thank for having existed.

"August and Everything After" was the first CD I ever purchased. Even before Nevermind and before Blood sugar sex magic. I was really impressed by this album, even to this day. Every song on the album tells a story. I still play "Blue Buildings" on my guitar from time to time and while I don't really know how to play the piano, I do know how to play the chords for "Raining in Baltimore". I learned those chords because I love to sing that song. It's good to see Adam on this side. I know he's had a long journey to happiness of self.

He’s mentioned how much he liked doing the show, and given the implosion of KROQ in the last 2 years, the long form interview he uses would be a great format to document the decline of radio as a pop culture medium versus the rise of the podcast.

If you cut open my teenage heart you would have found every lyrics from "August and Everything After" tattooed across it. I listened that album damn near nonstop for months. It got me off of Nirvana for quite some time. My grunge friends thought I was going thru something but man, those lyrics just pulled me in.

"And in between the moon and you, the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right"

This guy writes some of the most beautiful lyrics

Look them up on Howard stern show in 2008

@Facts DontLie wouldn’t “Angels” exist higher up, beyond the moon though? How would they see our silhouette, unless they were beneath us? Ohh! Was he saying angels are actually from Hell? Whoaaaaaa dude that’s deep

@Kevin Dube Because when you are looking at an object that has the moon behind it, you see a silhouette. If you put your back to the moon, and look out towards the same object you can see clearly around it.

I think he was trying to find a fancy sexy way to say life isn't black and white. That seemed to be a common theme in the 90s.

What a fantastic unpretentious dude ...so humble .

Franc Mittelo

This is why it is better to discover a band when they already have an extensive catalogue, and you can listen to every album without strong inclinations about how you want the band to sound like.

Paulie Walnuts

Always loved their music. And he speaks almost as poetically as his songs were arranged.

This man has such a good soul.

He's also Adam Rich, aka little Nicolas from Eight Is Enough.

I see

I’m 💯 guilty of not sharing music that moves my soul! For example, I had to find someone that would go see Gary Clark Jr. when nobody really knew who he was at the depot in SLC because they loved music and I was giving them the ticket for FREE. Out of the the literally thousands of shows I’ve seen, it is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. When it was over people were outside talking about it as if they felt it was a life changing experience. One person who is famous in his own right for something else ( like me ) I met that went because his friend invited him for free said that he felt like it was like seeing Jimmy Hendrix before he was famous, but better. We’re still friends, and neither of us have been to a better concert since that show in 2013.

"August and Everything After" is in my personal top 10 for sure. I love the lyrics and could probably sing (terribly) the who album without missing too many words from memory.

That was an album that I listened in its entirety and enjoyed every moment. I too have trouble acting normal when I’m nervous.

I was brainwashed by gangsta rap by the time Mr. Jones blew up. I never met a person who liked Counting Crows. I don't even know how I would have reached.

Looking back on it all those dudes were pretty good, and the lead singers energy was both positive and contagious. Strange how 27 years changes a person.

It's silly the conclusions people draw off of someone's public persona. He seems like a nice and down-to-earth guy.

Villa Pinstriping

Right!?!?

Mike Vignes

I have been a fan for many years and love how Adam adlibs live shows and changes lyrics. I once saw CC at house of blues and Adam was out front, no entourage, no security, no ego, just hanging and chatting with fans. I have a world of respect for artist that grounded and who make time for the fans that contribute to their success. Dude is legit and they are still one one of my favorite bands. Especially live.

@I Robot he did it in this comment. He doesn't know this guy and made a judgment about who he is. The irony.

their voices are such a good match. similar frequencies. maybe this is why these guys resonate and have a good time. Adam seems to be comfortable here

This video has me changing my mind about Adam.
I was backstage for a Counting Crows Show in L.A. back after the first Album and after the show at the meet n greet, talking with people and met a couple band members and then Adam walked up to my friend and I, he was holding his drink like it was a precious goblet with both hands and I said hello and introduced myself and my buddy and Adam didn't say hello back he said Oh Okay , and lifted his drink with both hands and drank and walked away. I could really care less that he walked away after only saying OhOkay because I was in the business and know a ton of famous people but the way he held his drink and drank from his cup and how he walked around that room as if he was Jesus himself was really lame. I love the "August" album and his lyrics are incredible, that album was a background music in my life during some big changes in love, work, friends, where I lived and where I moved to to escape the fame and poparrazi in LA to become an unknown new guy in a new city.
This interview shows Adam in a very different way and he seems really cool.

MymMars

My dad told me once about a counting Crows concert that he went to where Adam Midway through a song just started singing recovering the satellites. The band just had to catch up and run with it. My dad also jokes about when in adams song writing career you could tell when he started taking medication.

BloggerMusicMan

I heard "Mr. Jones" in high school. I'm almost 30 now and I still really like that song. I've played it with just a guitar and singing in front of a group of people before and it's always fun and wonderful.

This man poured his heart out thru the first 3 albums with his relationship with "Elisabeth". The journey was heartbreaking and beautiful.

Chucky Dall

I've always loved this band and thought he was a down to earth guy!! Such a great song writer!!

SSSlayerWolf

Round here was a masterpiece of lyrical art. Poetic and mind blowing.

Steve G

sometimes he comes off as aloof and goofy and a bit self absorbed, and you may not be into the genre itself or his sound - but when you get into the lyrics and the song craft, Adam is as legit an American treasure as they come
