Gahh. This song. Ppl don't need to hear it and I probably make all music about it but not realizing it was the last time I'd see my mom before 10... yeah. Bye & night
This is my favorite song by Counting Crows. I can relate to every word after many failed relationships...its so great and relatable it cripples my soul. My favorite lines are "Me and you, we know too many reasons for people and seasons that pass like they weren't even here" and "The worst part of a good day is the one thing you don't say, and you don't know how but you wish there was some way" :'(
“And you don’t know how, but you wish there was some way, so you pull down the shades and you shut out the light, because somehow we mixed up goodbye and goodnight” That line gets me every time.
Not only written, the complexity of his voice and how he connects all the tissue of the sounds and the lyrics really is magical. Seriously the definition of art.
Name by the Goo Goo Dolls is the best song ever written… every single line is brilliant. I’m a counting crown nut and I’m not even a Goo Goo fan, that’s the only song I like. It’s the best song ever put to paper.
Yeah it's definitely one of my faves I liked this one straight away alot of the other songs took a little time to grow on me. When they toured this album was the first time I managed to see them live... Love Counting Crows..
There is a *BIG* different between saying goodnight and goodbye. Whenever I'm so depressed I want to say goodbye, I instead decide to say goodnight. This song helps me so much.💙
Jack Daniels Ultraselvagem and the final score is in folks and it looks like atheism takes this one! Clearly, religion reached deep into their ‘Hail Mary Batshit Crazy Dude’ playbook and well we can all bear witness to what THAT does. It literally indicated to the judges that this argument has been over for quite some time. Wow! I know the effect, the poor dude who posted, THOUGHT it was gonna have in like a perfectly placed, worded, and witty circumstance. Enough to seriously hook some poor rube into believing in a forgiveness catch-all living in the clouds that’s seriously concerned with homosexuality and cross pollination in the fabric industry! But no. The effect was the opposite. It officially ended Christianity, creationism, AND RuPaul simultaneously! Poof! Gone, THATS how powerful your randomly placed evangelism was sir/ma’am! And honestly, why RuPaul have to be all mixed up in this thing man!? Tell Jesus Man to make RuPaul real again please...
I love this song so much. It's so good. It also reminds me that however a day goes is how I make it go. I could sit around or go do something purposeful. It also reminds me that while good days don't last forever, neither do bad days. Everything will work out and be okay.
And honestly, if you told Adam Duritz back in 1997 that his messaging would be interpreted in even SLIGHTLY a positive bent...EVER, he’d not believe you.
But actually, it’s hilarious bc Adam is incapable of positive parsing. He is definitely ending up at indifference as the result here and only subjective perspectives would find compromise and neutrality to be a positive result when aspiring to find the profundity in the everyday variable bonanza that IS a day in our lives. Adam’s like, “ok, well after deep meditation and years of thought, I’ll never capture the depth of the ‘8am,-alarm-just-went-off’ part of our lives, so I must splash around in the hypothetical aspects of what may be in a day, or OF a day...”
So much wisdom in 1 song...omg....recently divorced not by my choice...we are Christian faith but I go to church cuz I am the worst sinner alive and HE is my only hope for peace. She was born and raised in a great family. I cannot possibly understand what went wrong but this song I think shed some light. As I question her about motives: " now living in smiles is better you say? But we carry the burdens of all of our days ? ( our thinking did not match all of the sudden). I am scared that you will leave and you are scared that I will stay.......but we only saw half the ballet ?"....... nothing about this divorce m makes any sense...she never even tried........then roll into the best part about the sky rearranging.....Not only applies to my situation but to her not even trying..... eve4ything we know and hold true to will at some point be flipped upside down . And what we once thought important is now delegated as irrelevant. Just part of life and pisses me off that she co7lod not see her current frustrations with me( some are valid) were all temporary.......paradoxes and bad situations are always temporary
Loved the counting crows since the beginning. Adam is an amazing lyricist. This song seems like it would have fit perfectly on hard candy, it an absolute masterpiece. Honestly, I'd put it in the same category as Gordon lightfoot's if you could read my mind, it's just an incredible song
This song is really what I've needed the past few days....prom is coming up, and although I'm not ugly, or socially awkward, I've always had a problem asking girls out, so I just did what came logically- I simply never asked anybody out. (Well, technically yesterday) I asked a girl out, which was the first time I ever asked anybody out. I don't know if well go yet, its kinda complicated, but hell, this song was 80% of the reason why I didn't procrastinate asking her out.
@svens The important thing is you gathered enough courage and took the jump. This is a victory in itself. You’re important bro regardless of her response. Never forget that. Keep it real 🎸
It's great that counting crows and the power of Adams lyrics made you want to be vulnerable and put yourself out there. Hope it turned out for the best and if not life is a long journey and all our experiences good and bad make us what we are.
I've been following CC since Mr. Jones music video on VH1 in 1993. ran out bought the cassette of AAEA. This is my new favorite song by them. But Perfect Blue Buildings will always be my Never Ending favorite.
Ahhh, solidarity good sir! My fav is also PBB and it’ll always be bc even the truest of true from this AMAZING truth-telling band won’t be any truer to me than PBB.
I once said goodbye instead of goodnight to a woman I really really loved. It was the wrong time, I was in a bad place. I regret that goodbye to this day. It should have been a goodnight.
I never knew pain ...ever...until I found out how stupid I was to think I had a chance.. Shes just out of my League. She'll make some guy the happiest man to walk under the burning sun...meanwhile ill be counting crows
Yah, I'm still tossing/twisting/turning that statement around in my head, it's a pretty profound one. You know its something when a few spoken words can start or stop the heart❤
I was in my truck with a girl that I really like even though we haven’t even known each other 2 days, and she clearly wanted to kiss me, but I just played dumb, and we said goodnight. That was two hours ago or so, and man I don’t know what’ll happen but I’m already regretting that. This is my first week in college, and I’ve never had a first kiss, and I guess idk I got scared. Never before have I related to this song so strongly
If you cross paths again.....take advantage of the moment. Own it. Express with your words....your actions naturally will follow. If may of not been meant to be then....but at a future moment. Dont be restrained. Express yourself and in the end what people are best for you will be fully accepting.....without reservation.
Lyrics : It was a cold 3AM at JFK I guess you stayed because you wanted to stay And we went from zero to everything all in a day And then Kennedy took you away I thought of a short robe that was keeping you warm And the moments that make up your life until you wake up You sit on a swing in the dark with a girl And she tells you she wanted to kiss you And you know the worst part of a good day Is hearing yourself say goodbye to one more possibility day It goes on and on I go west but your weather has changed You're just scared I mistake it for strange When you want me to leave then you start to believe I should stay But I gotta get out of LA It seems like the short days are over Cause you just don't sleep in the daylight so I don't sit up nights I lie on my back on the top of a hill And your body is breaking the sky because you're shaking And the worst part of a good day is knowing it's slipping away That's one more possibility day that is gone We were waiting for Winter this year But you came and it never appeared Me and you, we know too many reasons For people and seasons that pass like they weren't even here Now "Living in smiles is better", you say But we carry the burdens of all of our days So I'm scared that you'll leave and you're scared that I'll stay It's an impossibility day And we only saw half the ballet I said goodnight Goodbye It seems like a good thing so you know it's a good lie You can run out of choices And still hear a voice in your head when you're lying in bed And it says that the best part of a bad day is knowing it's okay The color of everything changes The sky rearranges its' shade and your smile doesn't fade Into a phone call and one bad decision we made And the worst part of a good day is the one thing you don't say And you don't know how but you wish there was some way So you pull down the shades and you shut off the lights Because somehow we mixed up "Goodbye" and "Goodnight" And the one you won't say is "Everyone knows possibility days are impossible." It just feels wrong So wrong Still you're gone Long gone
This reminds me of 8th grade on a bench that she was laying. She asked me to kiss her and I was too scared. Yes I regret it and yes it bothers me everyday

Counting Crows brought me here. They've been bringing me everywhere since 1993. True fan.
+Angelus Portillus only found these guys in 2013 :(
+anne frank It's never too late to discover great music 👍🎩
2007 for me. Parents had me hooked on counting crows since preschool...
My mom had me listening to this when I was in kindergarten and elementary and earlier I was watching a tv show and this played
Noah Steadman Mate, this came out 2 years ago. Are you 7 years old?
I'm trying to write a novel, and when ever i get stuck i play this song and my mind opens up like a flower.
The pure sadness and regret in his voice when he says “and we only saw half the ballet.” Is remarkable.
So many hot-turned-to-cold showers taken listening to this song after my divorce... Just now realizing the metaphor
Gahh. This song. Ppl don't need to hear it and I probably make all music about it but not realizing it was the last time I'd see my mom before 10... yeah. Bye & night

There is a really good live version where Adam has a green army style jacket or something like that on you can really hear the emotion in his voice.
hawaii 5.0 bring me to this amazing and lovely song
I feel like they took it back to the old days on this one
Brilliant call!!! I love the crows and every cd but this could fit on August easy! :)
This and the actual song August and everything after !
“And you don’t know how, but you wish there was some way, so you pull down the shades and you shut out the light, because somehow we mixed up goodbye and goodnight” That line gets me every time.
Same here!
I miss this kind of quality music these days
This just might be the best song ever written.
Not only written, the complexity of his voice and how he connects all the tissue of the sounds and the lyrics really is magical.
Seriously the definition of art.
Name by the Goo Goo Dolls is the best song ever written… every single line is brilliant. I’m a counting crown nut and I’m not even a Goo Goo fan, that’s the only song I like. It’s the best song ever put to paper.
im 12 and i love counting crows
How can you sing this with so much emotion that it breaks my heart every time!!
The best song of this album.
@Tarah Noah "Somewhere under Wonderland" 👍
Yeah it's definitely one of my faves I liked this one straight away alot of the other songs took a little time to grow on me. When they toured this album was the first time I managed to see them live...
Love Counting Crows..

Well I must admit I never really gave Crows a chance back in the day but I'm starting to regret my decision. Lovely song.

I think this is the best song they've written since Mrs. Potters Lullaby.
agreed
I honestly believe its one of their best songs ever.
I have played this song on repeat so many times this semester. Seriously, so many times.
CC are legends. Man they are creators.
wow, I've never heard a song sung with such emotion
This song is just so painfully beautiful.
So much wisdom in 1 song...omg....recently divorced not by my choice...we are Christian faith but I go to church cuz I am the worst sinner alive and HE is my only hope for peace.

Brilliant - had on repeat and beautiful song to end the album
Wonderful band
So deep that u can see Adele Rolling in it! Great Job!
Rui Pereira Adele don't got shit on Adam
It always had a feel like "Millers Angels" to me... idky. This is one of only two albums ive ever purchased on google play. Was so worth it.
Amazing song and voice!
My brother loves this song.... He just lost his son 42 years young.,...God?????
i love counting crows and so do my parents i just love it
"I'm scared that you'll leave. And you're scared that I'll stay." Seams to sum up all of my significant relationships.
Great song on an amazing album.
Loved the counting crows since the beginning. Adam is an amazing lyricist. This song seems like it would have fit perfectly on hard candy, it an absolute masterpiece. Honestly, I'd put it in the same category as Gordon lightfoot's if you could read my mind, it's just an incredible song
I play this on repeat over and over again while driving my car
In this moment, this is perfection.
This song is really what I've needed the past few days....prom is coming up, and although I'm not ugly, or socially awkward, I've always had a problem asking girls out, so I just did what came logically- I simply never asked anybody out. (Well, technically yesterday) I asked a girl out, which was the first time I ever asked anybody out. I don't know if well go yet, its kinda complicated, but hell, this song was 80% of the reason why I didn't procrastinate asking her out.
what did she say mate
@svens The important thing is you gathered enough courage and took the jump. This is a victory in itself. You’re important bro regardless of her response. Never forget that. Keep it real 🎸
It's great that counting crows and the power of Adams lyrics made you want to be vulnerable and put yourself out there. Hope it turned out for the best and if not life is a long journey and all our experiences good and bad make us what we are.
Good for you! Well done
@@williamandrew8437 she left me on delivered lmaooo but since I’ve been in a bunch of relationships so I’ve been chilling
Thank you Hawaii-five-0 for showing me so beautiful song...
Same
Now in my 50s, this song reminds me of my 20s.
gets me every time...
I've been following CC since Mr. Jones music video on VH1 in 1993. ran out bought the cassette of AAEA. This is my new favorite song by them. But Perfect Blue Buildings will always be my Never Ending favorite.
Schardt Cinematic Productions I love Perfect Blue Buildings too, that whole album is amazing!
Ahhh, solidarity good sir! My fav is also PBB and it’ll always be bc even the truest of true from this AMAZING truth-telling band won’t be any truer to me than PBB.
just got this song stuck in my head from nowhere & had to listen to it.
this may have just saved my life.
if there was ever a god..
There is. His name’s Adam Duritz
Possibility Days-WOW! What a great song. Counting Crows this is awsome
#PossibilityDays #CountingCrows-New
I love y'all county crows. Your music isvtrue. Love it
As a huge CC fan, I still think these are the best lyrics that Adam wrote for a song. And don't get me wrong, it's a stiff competition.
Amazing voice...
Very nice mr. Adam. I remember Anna's begin
Beautiful.
Poetry and wisdom. 😢
We all needed this.
This is one of the best CC videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you times a million ❤️🎶❤️
This lyric is amazing.
I love this song
There’s only two songs that makes me cry everyday I listen to it. This is one the promise by Bruce Springsteen is the other
stupenda...che interpretazione!!!
Best CC songs ever.
"The worst part of a good day the one thing you wont say, and you don't how but you wish there was some way"
I still love you
OMG. This video and this song are amazing.
I once said goodbye instead of goodnight to a woman I really really loved. It was the wrong time, I was in a bad place. I regret that goodbye to this day. It should have been a goodnight.
Echt serieus, wat mooi
God damn. I should not be a widower and drinking bourbon while listening to Counting Crows. But it is what it is.
Widower too 20 yrs and every counting crows song on replay brings me emotions both good and sad
Great song...
My favorite song on the CD
Steve Wold mine too!
Awesome
Worst part of a good day is hearing yourself say goodbye...
you know if ed sheeran put this song out it'd be number 1 for like 3 weeks. counting crows are so damn good
He wouldn’t put out this song. He writes catchy pop music so... but I see kinda what you’re saying. Kinda...
Lovely!
Love.
CC pega duro y bonito
Because everyone knows the worst part of a good day is the one thing you dont say
That's pretty much the story of my life right now.. all I wished is to have her back in my arms 😳
Me too
This is amazing ohmy
I never knew pain ...ever...until I found out how stupid I was to think I had a chance.. Shes just out of my League. She'll make some guy the happiest man to walk under the burning sun...meanwhile ill be counting crows
“And the worst part of a good day is the one thing you don’t say”
Bobble Head My favorite line.
Omg ily):
In ones lifetime there all possibility days but you never know
Counting Crows are THE TRUTH. DURITZ FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
Wow. "Cause somehow we mixed up good bye and good night. ".
Exactly what I just showed my best friend, and made him a CC fan (:
Yah, I'm still tossing/twisting/turning that statement around in my head, it's a pretty profound one. You know its something when a few spoken words can start or stop the heart❤

Lyrics :
It was a cold 3AM at JFK
I guess you stayed because you wanted to stay
And we went from zero to everything all in a day
And then Kennedy took you away
I thought of a short robe that was keeping you warm
And the moments that make up your life until you wake up
You sit on a swing in the dark with a girl
And she tells you she wanted to kiss you
And you know the worst part of a good day
Is hearing yourself say goodbye to one more possibility day
It goes on and on
I go west but your weather has changed
You're just scared
I mistake it for strange
When you want me to leave then you start to believe I should stay
But I gotta get out of LA
It seems like the short days are over
Cause you just don't sleep in the daylight so I don't sit up nights
I lie on my back on the top of a hill
And your body is breaking the sky because you're shaking
And the worst part of a good day is knowing it's slipping away
That's one more possibility day that is gone
We were waiting for Winter this year
But you came and it never appeared
Me and you, we know too many reasons
For people and seasons that pass like they weren't even here
Now "Living in smiles is better", you say
But we carry the burdens of all of our days
So I'm scared that you'll leave and you're scared that I'll stay
It's an impossibility day
And we only saw half the ballet
I said goodnight Goodbye
It seems like a good thing so you know it's a good lie
You can run out of choices
And still hear a voice in your head when you're lying in bed
And it says that the best part of a bad day is knowing it's okay
The color of everything changes
The sky rearranges its' shade and your smile doesn't fade
Into a phone call and one bad decision we made
And the worst part of a good day is the one thing you don't say
And you don't know how but you wish there was some way
So you pull down the shades and you shut off the lights
Because somehow we mixed up "Goodbye" and "Goodnight"
And the one you won't say is
"Everyone knows possibility days are impossible."
It just feels wrong
So wrong
Still you're gone
Long gone
feel
Why did you remove video of Possibilty days live from NYC?
I miss it so much!
Lol. My dad used to work with these guys.
You with Counting Crows must have accidently in love.
So you pull down the shades
And you shut out the light
Because somehow we mixed up "goodbye and goodnight"

2020 Texas Quaratine..
I hate it when I only see half of a ballad
This reminds me of 8th grade on a bench that she was laying. She asked me to kiss her and I was too scared. Yes I regret it and yes it bothers me everyday
Why are there dislikes :(

I just love this song
