it's raining in baltimore.

i love this song by counting crows. adam duritz's voice is therapeutic to me and it brings out so many emotions. it brings back both good and bad memories. and for the 3 to 4 minutes that a counting crows song lasts i can find myself in a completely different place. tonight this song has a new meaning to me. and i'm not exactley sure what it is yet...but it just feels different. and i think i like it.


This circus is falling down on its knees
The big top is crumbling down
It's raining in baltimore fifty miles east
Where you should be, no one's around

I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone call

These train conversations are passing me by
And i don't have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But i just had no intention of living this way

I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat

And i get no answers
And i don't get no change
It's raining in baltimore, baby
But everything else is the same

There's things i remember and things i forget
I miss you i guess that i should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?

I need a phone call maybe i should buy a new car
I can always hear a freight train if i listen real hard
And i wish it was a small world
Because i'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
I think it's time to put the top down

I need a phone call
I need a raincoat.



after a very long and emotional night.all i can think about is how i'm ready for something new. i'm ready to be rejuvinated. to learn to respect myself and maybe discover who i really am at the same time.

This is an old post but I couldn't resist, your words were quite poetic. You're right It's a good song. I think it's complimented by the song right after that "Murder of One".
