about

A Long December by Counting Crows has always been one of my favorites, and in 2020 it felt especially fitting. In 2019 Town Meeting played Adam Duritz's Underwater Sunshine Fest, and meeting Adam makes this song even more meaningful for me to play.
"A long December and there's reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last."

lyrics

It's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last,
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaving
Now the days go by so fast.

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood,
If you think that I could be forgiven I wish you would.

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls,
And all at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl.

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood,
If you think you might come to California I think you should.

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after 2am
And talked a little while about the year,
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her.

And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last,
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass.

And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean I guess I should.
