This Desert Life (1998) :: Counting Crows Choosing a Counting Crows album for “My Favorite Albums” was tough as pretty much all of their albums are filled with memories and emotions to me. August and Everything After seemed like the obvious choice, at first, especially since one of my all-time favorite songs, Murder of One, is on it; a song that has a very specific time in my life and all the feelings that time encapsulates tied up in it.

“I came here with a load, and it feels so much lighter, now I’ve met you.” Sometimes I wish there was a manual, or guidebook, for good relationships.
