Mr. Rice is a little bit of a genius. And SO much better live than on the CD. SO much better.

The album or the song?

It was written when the band members were going in seperate directions with everything. Described as the sound of a band breaking up by Matt. While writing it he was recovering from throat surgery and couldn't talk, let alone sing, and I also believe that during the recording he and his girlfriend (who is now his wife) split up after some 8 years together.

But they got back together, and now we get "Song For The Girl" and "It's Been A While Since I Was Your Man."

I think that's the deal, anyway. I dunno about "Truffle Pigs" other than I've never heard the word "****" sound so beautiful before. That's a "lay in the dark and be morose" album.

Cold Water by Damian Rice makes me want to cry every time I hear it, no matter what mood im in. Beautiful.

'August and everything after' -Counting Crows....there's blood on those

tracks and the whole album is sung with such emotion.

you should get all counting crows records, they rock

round here and anna begins best on the album and the song august and everything after itself is 8 minutes of immenseness but its not on it

hmmmm going classical ludovico einaudi's dr zhivago soundtrack



"I love acting, its so much more real than life" Oscar Wilde

'Round Here' live in Paris 94 is unreal...stunning,as previously mentioned

Anna Begins is also amazing,the progression of the song is breath-

taking..Im waiting for the CC to bring out a new alum and hoping they

revisit the genius of A.A.E.A



'I wish i could be....Every Little Thing you wanted....'~Dishwalla

crows do rock the entire world, but i have to say ive never thought of august as being a painful album....yea some songs are but not all of them

Really? Some deep tracks on it....listen to the way he sings 'Time & Time

again'and the lyrics of 'Raining in Balitimore'! 'Mr Jones' is a good party tune

though.

V.tru i don't know many albums which carry that theme throughout

though...most generaly variate...on a certain level.Though Dishwalla's

'Opaline' comes close...anyone familiar?
