it is legitimately one of the best songs ever written in my opinion

Anna Begins and A Long December are 2 of the most AMAZING songs ever written.

I agree with you about Long December. It just hits me in the heart. Thank you

“Something perfect…something timeless about that song.” Yep, Adam, that just about sums it up for me too.

Long December and round here are my favorite of their songs

That song is pretty perfect.

A long December is a perfect song

Such a beautiful song, I love the counting crows! ❤

This song meant so much to me and my wife... I was in Iraq, and we were told I would be home by the end of December. You can never trust the Army. But my wife and I listened to this song often knowing how much longer December was to us. I was home in time to celebrate Christmas with my family. This song will always mean so much more to me than you know. Thank you for writhing this song for us.

It’s definitely the song I’ve listened to the most in my life. It means so much. I never get bored of it

He is right - I love that song and loop it for hours on end, its sad and meaningful.

A Long December is indeed a masterpiece. I was so fortunate to see you guys again in Raleigh, just 45 minutes from my house. It was the first time my wife and daughter had seen you live. They were mesmerized.

I listen to it almost everyday. Good memories .... ❤

One of my all time favorite songs

It’s the FLOW!! It’s got such a good flow.

My favorite Crows song! It's one of my favorite songs!

One of the best songs for sure

He wrote that in less than 24 hrs.? That's some of the most beautiful poetry I've ever heard. ❤️

It is perfect. It's why you made my bucket list.

Has always been my favorite.

Lyrical genius. Truly great.

It’s really a beautiful song, both melodically and lyrically I play it on my guitar all the time

This song is perfectly evocative. Every December this song is in rotation at my house. Great song that allows you to reflect, but also wistfully embrace the future.

Timeless. My favorite to sing along with. Especially in my car, especially at night. Was a favorite when it came out in HS and more meaning during Covid when Adam played the piano and sang it on Jimmy Kimmel. Then again when my mother took her last breath on December 13th 6 years ago. ❤

Thanks to my dad, my favoriete song to...his birthday is 24 Dec ....still love him ❤

It reflects his soul and everyone else's on the planet, that's why. ❤💌 Every time you have a bad day, that song says it's ok.

A Long December breaks me in half. When that song was at its peak I heard it three times on the radio racing to the hospital the night my grandfather died - Early January 1997. I have to be in a special mood to listen again.

It's a perfectly imperfect song with just enough vagueness and the right structure to carry the feelings along with giving you the rise up at the end that makes you feel redeemed as it closes. *chefs kiss*

It’s always been my fave. Can’t wait to see them live tomorrow!

A really good song, lyrically moving. I love covering it on guitar.

My favorite Counting Crows song

My favorite Counting Crows song :)

its a seriously gorgeous song

I think it *is* the best song he’s ever written, and he set a *very* high bar for himself over those first three albums.

Ok, I gotta' rock long december today!! What a classic!!

People relate to it. It touches their souls. ❣️ It has hope and despair so evenly divided. Hanging on, letting go.

yep. it's the song that if you heard it one time you always think of it around the end of the year..

Reading rain king atm and can't put it down , love this band so much

He's spot on, that song is a classic.

Its so atmospheric and anthemic

i woke up this morning randomly craving that song. i feel like it is love poetry to courtney

One of my all time favorite songs since it came out ❤

I was a little kid when this song released, but the sound and colors of the music video really bring back that nostalgia. lol Spin Doctors are a cool band though and pretty underrated.

I heard that song yesterday Great song

Love that song so so much.

I quietly give it a listen every new year's.

Crows go so far beyond just being a band. They are a life long soundtrack.

There's something about A Long December that, when performed live, just feels so perfect. It sounds better live than on the album. I'm happy that I've been able to see Counting Crows perform it live.

Round here is very emotional, and I imagine pulling that out of yourself in a genuine way, regularly, would be taxing.

I do not know either. But i always happy to hear long december.

Eternal fan LOVE Adam n Counting Crows

Amazing song and Colorblind as well

I think it’s the hopefulness in the song. “….maybe this year will be better than the last.”

I think it IS the best song he's ever written....so....

Yes man that's my favorite song

It’s a perfect song. Very rare.

I completely agree with it being one of the best songs ever written. I can listen to that song anytime anywhere.

It's a song about hope despite despair.

A long December is the very first counting crows song I ever heard. a random kid was singing it in my ninth grade art class and I asked my friend who sings that song. I’ve been a fan since

It's always the songs written quickly that are the best. Losing My Religion, Maps, Sweet child of mine, etc

My mom... Yeah. That song ìs my childhood. And then the loss of her... 12/23/04... It's a perfect song to me, it encapsulates something, and... Yeah. Thank you for it, Adam. Thank you...

Great song!

It's a perfect song

I lost two of my best friends my Junior year in high school...one to a over dose and the other to a car accident. This song was there for me all those years ago. .. it was truly a long December that year. 😪

Adam that is my favorite song I love that song so much

Love that song

I never get tired of long December

Because it's a damn masterpiece

Honestly, there's so many great Crows songs, it's hard to pick. 💝

It’s a great song !

Love Long December.

Love him

I love every single song on the album A long December!!!" Rain king is perfect 🥰

My favorite song ever! ❤ I feel like the song is talking about a guy that had to fly back to California from NY because his Dad was passing away. (“the smell of hospitals in winter”) He’s been there for a couple months helping his Mom deal with things and the funeral, etc. He wishes his girlfriend would come out to CA and see the ocean with him, but she won’t, and they break up. The line, “and the days go by so fast” is my favorite. So poignant. This song can also apply to many different scenarios.

It's my favourite

Such a underrated song in general. Truly one of my favorite cc songs

That is an awesome song!!! Well done sir!!! Just got chills singing the start of the last verse in my head! "Drove up to hillside manor sometime after 2a.m."" Wow!! What a classic and beautiful piece of music. In fact I'm going to listen to it right now!!!

i cant be the only one that every few months out of nowhere just starts singing "And it's one more day up in the canyons."

Great answer

December 21st, 2023... And it's been a long December, so far. I gues the winter makes you laugh a little slower, makes you talk a little lower, and if someone might think I could be forgiven, I wish you would. I can't remember all the times I've tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass, but all at once I look across a crowded room and see the way that light attaches to a girl.... And it's been a LONG December, but there's reason to believe, that maybe this year will be better than the last (5). Out of order, but meaningfull none the less. These lyrics have come back to me SO MANY times in the moments of my life. That's why I NEVER get tired of hearing it, so I hope Adam NEVER gets tired of singing it.

It's the nananana na na na na na na na... yeah

Same when crosses my speakers

It’s their best song.

I always thought it was about a husband and wife who are separated after losing a child. And they're trying to get back together. My wife and I lost a child and it's the first thing the song evokes from me. That and Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. Love both songs.

Well, dang Adam, no you’re just making me tear up listening to an interview. Dang.

Angels of the silences

I had a dream last night that round here was on the radio same I sang along with the whole song, I've never had a dream where I've sang a whole song all the way thru, super weird😂

You are happy to hear a long December, but you came to hear Mr. Jones.

Please play it in June 25 in Clarkstons mi

I know 🥰♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦🎶

Felt like the song wrote itself. It’s crazy how that happens

I think I know what he means, as a artist I've done art that's somehow "perfect" to me for once. The flaws of my ability when I drew it then don't matter now, even though I've drawn better since. It's a weird thought must be really important to him and either he doesn't know why or doesn't want to say, which is valid if it's that personal.

Any song with a na-na in it typically writes itself

I like Round Here and Colorblind more but its a great song. Even Mr Jones i probably enjoy more.

🔥🔥🔥🔥❤

Natas loves December

Wow ❤

I love you Adam.

Lol yea that’s a secret jam of mine. None of my friends know

💯
