I'm not sure how much traffic this blog post will get, but I need all the opinions out there. I plan on getting a tattoo of a counting crows lyric. I have loved and listened to (not to mention grew up to) the Counting Crows so I thought just thinking about it or listening to them non-stop for a little while would make up my mind, but I've come to find it's not that easy. Since then, I have searched and read through so many lyrics , but can't deicide which ones to narrow it down to. If there's any suggestions after reading this post that float to the top of your head, please share with a comment. I'd LOVE to hear people's thoughts. Some of my favorites so far are:

it seems night endlessly begins and ends

After all the dreaming I come home again

-Rain King

We couldn't all be cowboys 

So some of us are clowns 

Some of us are dancers on the midway 

We roam from town to town

-Goodnight Elizabeth

Keep some sorrow in your hearts and minds

For the things that die before their time

-Mercury

If you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame

-mrs potters lullaby

In the summer a sea of flowers

Won't bloom without the rain

-High Life

I line my sky with all the silver I can use

-High Life

in between the moon and you, the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right

-Round Here

Lose your mind at Le Ballet D'or

-Le Ballet D'Or

Home for a heart till death from birth

And we're only love, at it's best or worst.

-We're only Love

Cowboys = This is a list of what I should have been
But I'm not
This is a list of the things that I should have seen
But I'm not seeing
The look in your eyes
As his fingertips slid down your neck
And made you shiver
I'm just turning away from where I should have been
Because I am not anything

As a male , these words ring true for me.

Also Have you seen me lately = 

i remember me
and all the little things
that make up a memory

could you tell me the things you remember about me

hope this helps , let me know what you end up getting and post a pic

How did i forget this one!!!

There's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak
I wish you'd let me in

from murder of one , one of my fav songs.

I can't remember all the times I've tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass. - A Long December

 

I'm just trying to get myself some gravity, you're just trying to get me to stay. - Speedway

I don't know if I'm wide awake or dreaming, but all I ever need is everything. - Monkey

If dreams are like movies then memories are films about ghosts. - Mrs. Potters lullaby

 

I don't mind the day go rolling away, cause all this sunlight feels warm on my face today. - Goodnight L.A.

 

I could be huge if I could just get from the outside of everything to the inside of you. - New Frontier.

 

You think about anything you can, I think about you. - Anyone but You

 

I'm getting "Change, change, change" tattoed on me because of A Murder of One. You could do that? Then again, A Murder of One is my favorite Counting Crows song, so it's pretty much all up to you.

Of course, it's no problem. Counting Crows are amazing and deserve to be noticed by everyone. Besides, I'm seeing them this Friday so I'm kind of freaking out a little...or a lot? Anyways, I hope your tat goes well and doesn't hurt so much. If it does, just listen to the entire August and Everything After album. That should do it for you:)

Theres already been some gems mentioned but I've always been partial to "You look into her eyes and it's more than your heart will allow"

" I say my prayers then i just light myself on fire and i walk out on the wire once again"

Counting Crows On Tour

The GreyBird Foundation was established because we believe America is a dream in which the thoughts and needs of each and every person matter. Unfortunately, people feel small as the world expands and they forget that they ARE America.

So we find the people down the street from you who are trying to do their part to help and we try and help THEM. Get involved with the idea of being involved people. After all, it's your town, your country, your world, and no one will ever make as much of a difference as you can just by waking up and being a part of it.
