Words that have inspired me





Chelsea by Adam Duritz

I never go to New York City these days
Something about the buildings in Chelsea just kills me
Maybe in a month or two,
Maybe when things are different for me,
Maybe when things are different for you
You know all of this shit, just sticks in my head

Is there anything different these days?
The light in her eyes goes out
I never had light in my eyes anyways
Maybe things are different these days

It's good for everybody to hurt somebody once in a while
The things I do to people I love shouldn't be allowed
Something about the buildings in Chelsea just kills me
Something about the buildings in Chelsea just kills me

Is there anything different these days?
The light in her eyes goes out,
I never had light in my eyes anyways
Maybe things are different these days

I dream I'm in New York City some nights.
Angels flow down from all the buildings
Something about an angel just kills me
I keep hoping something will

Is there anything different these days?
The light in her eyes goes out,
I never had light in my eyes anyways
Maybe things are, maybe maybe maybe
Maybe things are, maybe maybe maybe maybe things are different,
Maybe things are different these days
The light goes out

I never had light in my eyes anyways
Maybe things are different......these days.




This song has touched me deeper than any other song i've heard by Counting Crows.
I'm just beginning to be able to comprehend the imagery used in lines such as
"The light in her eyes goes out, I never had light in my eyes anyway" and "Something about an angel just kills me / I keep hoping something will".
The ideas presented in these lines are more powerful than any other i've heard.
