Counting Crows Essentials

"The Rising" - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (Live)

Originally by The Band, released in 1968 and written by Robbie Robertson

We played this song live a few times as a tribute to Levon Helm following his passing in April 2012.

Neil and our friend Richard Cook talked about recording a version of the song, collaboratively, with some other local musicians.

We went into Keith Angel's Wavelength studio www.wavelengthstudios.co.uk and cut the track live, adding vocals by Rita Payne, Jayne Angel (of Orchestre Ruffanti) and John Caile.

The hard drive containing the track was lost before we could mix or revisit,  so the song as it is presented here is how it went down and sounded  in the room that night.

We hope you like it!

Performed by Famous Villains with Richard Cook.

Counting Crows - Accidentally In Love (Niall T DNB Flip)

bonnie raitt - something to talk about

Sometimes the wind starts calling your name. You think you have to go.
Let’s not pretend you’ve not felt that way.
You’ve always run, you always leave, it’s always been okay.
Deep down inside, you’ve fought it, you’ve tried, but you know you have to stay.

You hear a voice you might not recognize. You hear what it has to say.
Walking is easy, that’s no surprise.
You’ve always run, that’s been your style. Just get up, walk away.
Deep down inside, you’ve fought it, you’ve tried, but you know you have to stay.

Maybe it’s time. You always knew that one day it would end.
I know you’re trying - this goes against the grain.
Trust me, I know. You wanna go.
Trust me, I know you wanna go away.
I think you’ve figured out, this time it’s time to stay.

Just move along, never stay in one place. That’s always been your way.
You’d make believe, but you’d never come thru.
You’ve always run, never stay put. That’s been the game you’d play.
Deep down inside, you’ve fought it, you’ve tried, but you know you have to stay.

Maybe it’s time. You always knew that one day it would end.
I know you’re trying - this goes against the grain.
Trust me, I know. You wanna go.
Trust me, I know you wanna go away.
I think you’ve figured out, this time it’s time to stay.

Maybe It’s Time
