So I actually had a different song all picked out for this week’s Tune in Tuesday…but then this song came on the radio earlier today, and I knew I had to change my plans. It’s a song that immediately makes me smile whenever I hear it, although the lyrics are actually quite sad. It’s also a song that has aged really well, I think. Even though it came out 20 years ago (which is horrifying but true — the album August and Everything After came out in 1993!), everyone knows it, and it’s still played on the radio all the time. In short, it’s a classic! So without further ado, here’s Counting Crows with “Mr. Jones”:

I read this post and was all ‘Hmm, what is this strange song I have never heard of?’ Then I played it and not only do I know the tune, I pretty much know the lyrics too. Guess we pick up more than we think! 🙂
You’re right though, it’s definitely a classic.
Phew! I was getting alarmed when you said you’d never heard of the song. I feel like everyone who was alive in the ’90s has picked up at least some of it!
Mr. Jones came out in 1993?! Whoa, I was still in primary school then! I only heard this song when I was in high school, I didn’t realized it came out earlier than that. I feel old! LOL! Well, honestly, this 90’s edition of Tune In Tuesday is making me feel old, but it’s so fun to remember all these songs! I love 90’s music!
Here’s my Tune In this week: http://www.hazelleevaughn.com/2013/11/12/tune-in-tuesday-90%E2%80%B2s-edition-roxette/
I KNOW! I’m feeling super old too, but it’s fun to hear all these songs that remind me of my childhood!
