Miami

Oh Miami. This song is a typical example of how The Counting Crows can take a studio version and perform a completely different versions of it.

Below are two different versions of the Miami in concert. Both have alternative lyrics and both have amazing intro of Adam talking about why he wrote this song.   Enjoy.

Dublin, Ireland, May 8, 2009 Fast Version

Manchester, England, 2009, Slow Version

Washington Square Meanings

I've been listening to Washington Square more often these days. It is a great slow melancholy song from Counting Crow's album Saturday Night and Sunday Mornings. I love the guitar melody and the support in the song to Adam's vocal. Haunting is an accurate word to describe the mood as is found so often in the music of Counting Crows.

From Admin from the album Live from SoHo album:

"This song I started right after I moved here,

I was kind of, I'd come back from tour and lost something, someone,

I was kind of faced with process of going back out again,

Seemed like a hard thing to leave New York behind,

So it's called, so we are going to play you most of Sunday Morning now

This is the beginning of Sunday Morning and it's called Washington Square"

What I found different about this song is that the song seems to have happy ending with Adam returning back to Washington Square as if he has found his resolution in his wandering that made him "walk out through the shadows of Washington Square." Happy resolutions couldn't be said for other songs such as Anna Begins or Sullivan Street, for example.
