About This Track

“The verses are about how horrifyingly gray and mundane and pointless life in general can be. Nothing catastrophic. Little horrors. Envy of other people. Deep need that is unsatisfied. Boredom. And so the chorus is about how suductive coma-visions are: these dreams of placidity, colors, shapes that are so clean. But the peace is a trap to the person in the song; he doesn’t want to fall prey to the visions.”

One of the most bittersweet songs I've ever heard. No one sings about dissociative disorders like Adam.

I've always thought this song is so sad. "In beds, in little rooms, in buildings, in the middle of these lives which are completely meaningless." Sigh.

Perfect song for when you're down. It's like a comforting friend who's been where you are ... won't make you feel better but you won't feel alone.

Counting Crows in general remind me of a lost friend...but the first album does so more than the rest. I think we played this album everyday from summer of 94 all through the winter. heh

Well...The best of album 'Films About Ghosts' contains almost (5 out of 11) the half of 'August and Everything After' and nearly the best of the other albums are included.I wonder why they didn't pick up 'Colorblind'? Besides 'Hard Candy' and 'This Desert Life' are also great studio albums...
