Een Meisje Op Een Draad

So, it is an early Sunday morning. I have spent mine so far watching Counting Crows perform live at the Sound Stage on the channel trying to be the next PBS. "Rain King" is an incredible song, but I still have not given Counting Crows the appreciation they deserve. Their latest album entitled Saturday Nights, Sunday Mornings :) was only a name until I saw it unfold like a morning glory on the television. Counting Crows does not get much gratitude, it seems. Rolling Stone wrote an article in their favor. I didn't need some Rolling Stone writer to tell me that I shouldn't judge a book by its cover. All I needed to do was to take just one tired minute of my own and donate it to a man who had big eyes overflowing with passion and honesty with what he was singing. "On A Tuesday In Amsterdam Long Ago" was introduced by lead singer Adam Duritz as "the same song as 'Accidentally In Love' but from a distance".


"She's a carnival driver
Hung in the sky
Cutting through time
Like a memory
Strung on a wire

The color of anything
Fades in the air
But she is the film
Of a book of the story
Of the smell of her hair"
That is the que to the end of words.

Title: "A Girl On A Wire" in Dutch
In My Head: "Come Around" by Counting Crows
