Counting Crows live at the Sydney Opera House 4-10-13

AD’s Instagram post the day before the show

WE NOW KNOW THE ALTS ARE FROM

Palisades Park on the

Somewhere Under Wonderland ALBUM



I haven’t been to a show since the Tabernacle last May so while not completely satisfying my carnal desires the live stream of this show did at least stave off my urge to scour the interwebs for front row seats and travel halfway across the country to see my favorite band. The entire set was great, a perfectly chosen blend of the Counting Crows entire catalog but what really stood out to me was the 12 minute version of Round Here



Round Here starts Here.

The Alts start Here

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LYRICS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SHE SAYS ITS ONLY IN MY HEAD

These things you’re dreaming

These voices you hear sighing and lying and talking

and screaming are only in your head

He then breaks into a common Alt, a few lines of Doris Day

and Private Archipelago both from his days with Sordid Humor

Why Why Why

Come outside she said, I think I’m leaving tomorrow afternoon I’m going far away for here Come outside she said come outside with me put away your fears you and me were not meant for bedrooms, you and me were not meant for homes, she said I’m leaving here tomorrow, please come with me darling, I don’t want to go alone come outside she said climb out your window come outside, before the world gets any colder, you and I get too much older, come outside, she said well come outside she said hey climb out your window come outside before my momma knows I’m gone, your daddy thinks your home alone, come outside and run away with me she said come outside she said climb out your window come outside if you cant get away, find me some other day, if not today, Ill be on my way. You and me weren’t meant for bedrooms, you and me weren’t meant for these small town afternoons, you and me were meant for leaving, remember highways and sunsets and all summer months so come away come away come away come away outside she said and runaway runaway runaway with me

THERE’S A GIRL ON A CAR IN THE PARKING LOT
