On Almost Any Sunday Morning

the light of day becomes the most unbearable period of separation, regret, and recrimination on the album...

this is the perfect concept album for the crows, and the have totally succeeded.

Hey it's me Billy Frankenstein, this song seems to be about someone who is on the fence about wheather or not he wants a relationship, in addition to that this person uis not really sure how to go about cultivating a relationship from the women he sleeps with. He has to remind himself or almost force himself to stay around and base his thoughts on them in the best light possibele. they seem not to live up to his expecctations of them or his ideals so much that he is almost in disgust over them. he is self obsesses, "keeps hiimself too clean" and dealing with mental issues from previous substance abuse, now he is on legal drugs and faces the same dilemma, they help briefly but his anger/issues surface in the morning. these issues are also preventing him from a relationship. i'm not so sure this person wants a relationship but he is definately obsessing about his need for one or the fact that he is not in one. he is a loner, not confident that fulfillment will come from a relationship but not fulfilled in his situation/ he wants to make himself not be criticakl oof other people almost to the point where he entirely shuts his judgment off. I believe this is autobiographical of duritz and that possibly he is on lithium from his shrink, but it is only based on my interpretation of this song.

Holy shit, Frank.. paragraphs man, paragraphs! They're good. Anyway.. I can not believe this song only has two comments. Counting Crows fans ought to be fucking ashamed of themselves for not commenting on this. I love this song. The harmonica & acoustic guitar... gives me chills. And Adam's voice, god... every song he writes makes me want to hug him.

It think this song gets little support for the CC community is because it seems very disjointed. I love the feel, the guitar, the voice, but the message is very tough to extrapolate. I feel like it should be the best song on the album, but I have a lot of trouble relating to it. Adam is such an excellent lyricist, but I think the connect to the emotion behind the lyrics is either too deep or too vague. That said, the song has an excellent mood which clearly signifies depression and regret. Still one of may favorites.

This song is about someone needing more than to get laid but, is haunted by previous, relationships gone wrong, He wish that he could release his eyes from what he has seen "empty circles" He wants to stay this time because everything felt right but once he ejaculated he started picking the person apart until what was left was just another "Walkaway" He tries to reinforce the spirit of staying put

Its about regretting your Saturday nights. You're finally seeing things you didn't see before and wish you could change it but it's too late to go back so you've got to just deal with what you've done and move on.

I think Adam Duritz wrote this about waking up on sunday mornings regretting who you've slept with the night before. In brighton he said something along the lines of "waking up and realizing you need to get the f**k out. Hasn't everyone had one of those mornings". That really sums it up, doesn't it.

I've listened to this song over 450 times according to iTunes. More, I'm sure, from burnt CDs and whatnot. I think wvmtneer (besides a horrible choice in university ;)) was exactly right. It's about a guy who loses the girl he's with because he thought there was something he was missing, something he thinks he knows but in fact isn't even real.

"He should have stayed with her. And the hurt of his mistake can't be covered up with drugs. He knows it too well."

one of my favorite crows songs ever.
