Counting Crows - Recovering The Satellites Lyrics

third day 2020

♡♡♡♡

I so love this song. So awesome. So American.

Everybody's satellites..... Everyone has one.groovie.

She sees shooting stars and comet tails....she's got heaven in her eyes....damn junkie😏

One of the Tightest bands I have ever seen .. Totally blew me away .. did not miss a Chord .. Adam is pure Genius !

Esta canción es una verdadera belleza. Tanto la melodía como la letra y el sentimiento en ella. Hermosa.

Will give the almost original Golden State Warriors title team a big hand if they beat the Toronto Raptures. Coach AD n the CC great bay area Berkley folks! Peace Go Bulls! Bears Cubs!

You're everybody's satellite I wish that you were mine. Great line.

25 morons

20 years on and this song still just crushes me.

Sames :'(

This song always reminded me of my mom and how she had to deal with all of my episodes and constant medication changes. God bless her and bless the Lord for delivering me from all of that mess. Im finally free of all of that however l admittedly still love this band and all of their albums to the moon and back! ❤

Still listening 2019- When you gonna come down?

I won't say who, but this song is so unbelievably accurate to some people that I know. Being with someone whom you love, but they go through horrible depression, from time to time, and you can't save them.

This is my favourite song of all the songs in the world. :)

Awesome - but also sad They would be great to see live.

She’s got heaven in her eyes.

He tells my life story and this one is just an example of it. Wow. I guess we are only human
When you gonna come down
When you gonna come down

Beautiful.

Whoever gave this song a thumbs-down has no soul in their body when I get into my head this song makes me weep sometimes

the best band everrrrrrrrrr

Gracias dsc

Counting Crows, Dave Matthews, and The Cranberries all take me back to my high school years. I miss the days ☹️

I was tasked to create my own version of a song. I was given these lyrics and I can aptly say that they are the most uninspiring, messy lyrics that I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. As hard as I tried, the lyrics do not fit with any musical theory.

Perhaps I'm wasting my time here, listening to this mess of a song. However, I wanted to see the creative vision of such an artist to create the most appalling vocals. Certainly an eye opener. I can now see that it doesn't require talent to succeed in the music industry. Although, I wasn't in any uncertainty.
All in all, Adam is not a "lyrical genius" I'm afraid. He, as far as I can tell, wrote these lyrics when tripping balls on acid.

Adam seems to be guzzling a large cock during certain moments of this "song". An action I'm sure every person in this comment section is a big fan of.

I don't consider myself a vocalist, however even I could sing this song effectively due to the fact that I would be gagging at the pathetic nature of the lyrics.

Sykes out.

What a well thought out and constructive comment. I wholeheartedly agree with this intelligent, handsome gentleman.

1. "Mother recognizes all your desperate displays/She watches as her baby drifts violently away...."
My mother, (RIP), enabled my gay, alcoholic, meth addled, three DUIs, work furloughed brother for years. Drove him from jail, to his house for a shower, then to work, then back to jail, a three hour round trip in Bay Area traffic at 72. Line speaks to her, and to the parents of so many of my former students, lost to poverty, drugs, alcohol, abuse....

2."We only stay in orbit a moment of time./Everybody's satellite: I wish that you were mine."
Found my first (birth) mother after 31 years. Met her at 33. Rejected out of hand until I was 44. A beloved librarian in her small state big city, an Appalachian "cosmopolitan" area. Beloved by her friends, her children's friends, my real father's family and friends. As her first born,and only child by her high school sweetheart (ah, the late 60s and family engineering), I could see in the interim how she was everybody's satellite. And I wished nothing more than that she would be mine.

lots of ways to interpret Adam's lyrics. YMMV.
CUrious as to what you did make of his words with new music. Post. Love to hear it.

Sykes Freerunning Adam’s lyrics are not for all. Most people don’t get it, but if you peel the layers, it makes sense. This song is a sequel to Mr. Jones. He has finally achieved some success and the song talks about the highs you reach in life, but you’re going to come back to earth eventually. One of their best, ever.

Grand lyrics for a great song!

man ... what can I say just amazing band my daughter's have seen them about 4 we still love will always love counting crow's

And you’re everybody’s satellite... I wish that you were mine...

Fuk yeah. Recover that space junk Adam. I'll fly with you.

Adam is a lyrical genius

sooo many goosies..song always gives me the chills it's so beautiful, one of my favorites of all time!

counting crows are the best

this band is always the background music of my lfe

Great great song. It could also be interpreted as Adam or a friend on a manic high. Bipolar highs often parallel these lyrics...

regrets/do overs/making amends/mulligans/

Smart people love this song. Period.

How you meen ? I is dummer than a pikle an likes this tune

This whole album is remarkable

I love this song, it doesn't matter how smart I am. So why you come home=

IM NOT VERY SMART ,....I ADORE THIS ONE

this makes me thank of mom rip

my mum got me this lp when i was 21 birthday iam now 41 its still magic she died last year but a gift she gave me

Recovering the satellites is in my top 2 or 3 favorite albums ever..it's a beautiful piece of art and Adam has a special gift and doesn't get the credit or recognition he deserves. He truly is a genius.

august, hard candy, recovering - three of the best albums ever and they are all his :)

Absolutely this is literally my obituary in advance.. I am nothing if I am not this high

will never understand why this song didnt chart. Its well built musically and has incredible lyrics. Its in the running for my fav song of all time. The guitar arrangements are perfect. Would love to see a re-release as a single.

Seems to me that many good songs don't chart, for some reason.

God, we're so Fucked up, you and Me... ...when you gonna come down...

"..We only stay in orbit, for a moment of time..."

My favorite lyric from any song ever. The way he sings it. What. Tears.

I'm not gonna come down, down, down, down, down....:)

I never can listen to this song loud enough. I know about the dangers of loud music, but this song needs to go to Twelve on the Spinal Tap meter. 

+James Heald So true

I was at the sheperds bush empire (London) in '96/97 when they toured on this album and they quite literally ROCKED THE FUCKING HOUSE. DOWN! it was a fantastic live gig.

I have a

@Freddie Sharp t the to

I have a daughter in Oakland, Ca, another in Raleigh, NC, and a son in Biscoe, NC. I live in Columbia, SC. When we are making plans to get together, as we did at Wrightsville Beach in April, I tell them that I am "recovering the satellites."   

You know this song is about drug addicts, right?

@bizarrebehavior1974 Yes it is. I was only referring to the title of the song. It's also about Adam getting off prescription drugs and starting to write again, the culmination of which was this album.

Pretty cool, Johnny. I like that, best of luck with your family. I’m sure your girls are Stars.

Love this toon...

nice sound quality
