Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Counting Crows or about the 2000s in general.

Washington Square is a song about personal sacrifice and the sadness that comes along with it. Sometimes in life, we have to decide what to let go of, so that we can grasp onto something better. It rings true for a variety of aspects of your life.

It can be sad if we focus on what we are leaving behind, but Counting Crows is telling l us that what is next may be nothing short of life-changing.

The band’s songs and lyrics often reference a sadness, and multiple songs by Counting Crows reference Dublin and other major cities.

Here’s a good example of why Washington Square and its lesson is relevant to life. You could have been recently terminated from your job in Dublin, and are sad about what to do next. You really enjoyed the job and thought it was going to be a great future path to a better career for you. You may have been wrongfully terminated. When you speak to employment lawyers, you have a chance of recouping some of your loss for a positive, life-changing experience while you search for new work.

Here’s the lyrics to Washington Square.

 

I sold my piano
It couldn’t come with me
I locked up my bedroom
And I walked out into the air
When nothing I needed
Is left there behind me
I walk out through the shadows
Of Washington Square

I wandered the highways from Dublin to Berkeley
And I heard the songbirds of Valley Paurine
I love like a fountain
And it left me with nothing
Just the memories of walking through Washington Square

Now I live in the shadows
Where light is electric
And time is a number
That rests on a wall

And nobody knows me
My friends and my family
Are as far from this city
As Washington Square

So cover this warm night
In a blanket of starlight
Then I’ll follow this freeway
Out into the air

In case you should wonder
And wanted to find me
I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square
I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square
Washington Square
Washington Square
