![]() Underwater Sunshine (2012) [ larger cover art ] |
If tonight's the night, then today's my day
That I should hang it all on display.
Yours is just a losers' game
And I decided that I should play
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Felt the wind's direction beginning to change
Clouds so softly full of rain
The summer fell and the winter sprang
Now it's all a feeling I can't get back again
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Oh, throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Cloudy thoughts against a clear blue sky
When the feeling came, I felt like getting high
With no sense to try to find my peace of mind
'Cause maybe baby I was born to win, dissatisfied
And you know I cannot live or die, so
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget, no no no
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Throw your arms around my neck, hold me, hold me, hold me
I won't be soon to forget
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget

| nicknt (Milan Italy) | Posted: Jun 16, 2012 - 01:56 One of the most boring songs I've ever heard. The glorious times of CC are gone. |
| oso_negro (Nelson, BC) | Posted: May 23, 2012 - 12:39 Too repetitive! |
| Josua (Cartagena, Spain.) | Posted: May 20, 2012 - 10:17 This music is fantastic! |

They chose songs that were early influences for them individually and as a band. I like it. They sing Return of the Grievous Angel, that's all I need to know. |

They really lost their way as they went along, in my view. I re-listened to Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings a couple days ago and it really is mediocre at best. Filled with sloppy production, bad guitar wankery, strained, unnatural vocals, and bad outtros. Hard Candy was surprisingly decent on re-listen. I'm going to check out This Desert Life next, the album I kind of feel was the turning point. An interesting experiment, going back through the catalog of a band you used to love but lost interest in. Anyway, here's hoping Underwater Sunshine has more good cuts on it. I haven't bought yet..

| drsteevo (Location Location) | Posted: Apr 13, 2012 - 08:54 I checked out this new album, it is all cover songs, some more obscure than others. I guess the part of their brains that writes songs is taking a prolonged holiday. Overall, it is disappointing on the initial listen. |
| scraig (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Apr 11, 2012 - 15:01 Adam is finally letting the guitarist get some jams in. Nice. 7. |
| bam23 (Berkeley) | Posted: Apr 11, 2012 - 14:59 I hear a distinctly Crackeresque sound in the instrumentals, most certainly not the vocals. The singing of this band has never appealed to me in the least. |

| jules44 (Sunny North Carolina) | Posted: Apr 10, 2012 - 11:45 Kinda boring for the Crows.............ho hum...... |
| tputkey (Burnaby, BC) | Posted: Apr 10, 2012 - 11:44 Oooooh new Counting Crows. It's not bad! His voice is still distinct yet not as annoying as the album after the August and Everything After album. |
| drsteevo (Location Location) | Posted: Apr 10, 2012 - 11:44 Cool, new Counting Crows! |
| Dancing_banana (Philadelphia, PA) | Posted: Apr 10, 2012 - 11:43 This is getting a lot of air time in Philly recently. |
