I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her

Artist- Counting Crows
Song of the day- Long December

I wanted to make sure I got this most excellent song in before December ends. Oh Counting Crows how you make me miss Hollywood, the ocean and actually enjoy dreadlocks. As we hit the end of the year and prone to look back on the year maybe all the times aren't great ones, or worse, maybe we see all the times we weren't great. But the great thing about time is it keeps moving and there is a whole year ahead of us for things to get better, more chances for us to be better, to say things we didn't or take back what we did, to forgive when we couldn't or ask for it, more times and memories to have and share and hold onto. Or see the ocean, it feels like I haven't seen it in a while either.



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
Oh 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
(Na na na, etc. yeah)

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
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
(Na na na, etc. yeah)

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after 2 a.m.
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 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
(Na na na, etc. yeah)
