“A Long December” is the Counting Crows hit single off of their second album “Recovering the Satellites”
The song is about a friend of lead singer Adam Duritz who was run over by a vehicle and the pain that it caused him and the band.
It is a song about looking back on your life, but also looking...
[Verse 1]
A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaving
Now the days go by so fast
[Chorus]
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven
I wish you would
[Verse 2]
The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once, you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
[Chorus]
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California
I think you should
[Verse 3]
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after 2 A.M
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk a little lower
About the things you could not show her
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
[Chorus]
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean
I guess I should
