| Counting Crows – Anna Begins Lyrics | 23 years ago |

I think this song is great because, at least to me, you see the progression of his feelings as the song moves on... I take it to be a guy who is sort of a player. He sees a lot of girls, but doesn't really take any of them seriously, never sees them becoming more serious. But Anna can sense that he might be "changing" towards the need for a more mature relationship. She wants to tell him but she's really unsure of how to deal with it. He starts giving in to his feelings ("I can't stop touching her") and this side of him freaks her out ("When kindness falls like rain/ it washes her away / and Anna begins to change her mind"). She backs away, and he realizes she is really what he wants, and he can't lose this chance. He's not ready, he wants to freeze the moment ("Snap her up in a butterfly net / Pin her down on a photograph album") but knows he can't do that. To me, the song sort of has a cliffhanger ending, where he goes after her but he is too late. But he is still in love with her. And has finally learned to love instead of just being a player :) |

This is such an awesome song...probably my fav BK song right now. Especially the lines "whenever your ardency shows / I start to take off my clothes / just because of your wink." I think it is probably about a guy who really likes a girl who keeps sending him fairly mixed signals. She hangs on lots of guys, but he is so obsessed with her that the slightest bit of interest she shows totally throws him over the edge, even if she doesnt really mean it. |
