Stories & Their Teller - part 1

I've been on a Counting Crows binge for weeks. Just can't get enough of their tunes and Adam Duritz's incredibly passionate voice - reviving a crush since 1996, and simply appreciating a really talented group of musicians and their creations. Searching broad and low for anything I can find!

And there's a lot out there!

But the stories behind the songs, WOW, that's a whole other magnificent experience. Here are a couple of many, and the generous dominik has more on his channel.

Listen to Adam's story behind Rain King and this soulful performance live at VH1 Storytellers:


and this Ghost Train story:


Isn't he beautiful?!

There's always a story.... have you told yours for today?

listen to the "round here" extended version on the MTV Live disc. that has one of the most phenomenal bridges I have ever heard, and I love when he mixes bits and pieces of other songs together.

I am, I am! It's been on my playlist for weeks. He's such a wonderful storyteller actually. I'd love to get in his head for a while....
