Counting Crows – Washington Square Lyrics 17 years ago
on Live from SoHo, Adam says:

"This song I started right after I moved here [NYC]... I'd come back from tour and lost someone, and was faced with the prospect of going back out again, and it seemed like a hard thing to leave New York behind"

Jamie Cullum – Lover, You Should Have Come Over Lyrics 19 years ago
it's a great cover, but he left out the best verse from the original - the "It's never over" verse.

Jamie Cullum – Next Year, Baby Lyrics 19 years ago
JC said in concert that he wrote this song about a girl who he had always fancied but who he could never work up the courage to talk to (or who was already with someone, I forget which :P). He wrote this song as a resolution to tell her how he felt. He eventually invited her to a concert where he played it - afterwards they went out for a drink and he realized what a complete bore she was.

Great song regardless.
