What are you up to? I'm just listening to "Round Here" by the Counting Crows. It's from 1993, but still an amazing song. I'd never get tired of it.
I know! The intro to that song is great and always recognizable. I have a lot of favorites, but if I had to pick one, it would be St. Robinson and His Cadillac Dream.
That song seems like a fever dream.. he sings about ballerinas and cadillacs sailing and all sorts of interesting and bizarre stuff!
I think it's about suicide. He sings about black Cadillacs and a "girl who could make it all clean". Almost like a girl that could save him.
Oh wow, that's really sad to think about. Counting Crows' lyrics seem to be a lot deeper than they let onto. I know that Adam Duritz uses metaphors for discussing mental health a lot 
Yea he actually suffers from mental health issues himself. It's a dissociative disorder which sometimes make the world seem like it's not real. You have to wonder if that's why he is such a brilliant lyricist.
I read about how he suffers from depersonalization disorder and that he's really lonely because he has trouble with relationships. That's heartbreaking. He seems like a great and talented man
True, but unfortunately mental disorders of his kind are hard to live with as a partner. I hope he does find somebody for him, someone with the patience and tolerance to live with his disorder, but also the fact that he's a traveling musician!
No kidding.. that would be quite the feat to find someone tolerant of that. I can't imagine feeling like I'm living in a dream like he does often
Yep. I really hope I get a chance to see them live again though! It's exciting getting to hear how he is going to perform his songs as it is always different.
