2013년 7월 4일 오늘의 곡은 Coungting Crows의 Mr. Jones입니다. 카운팅크로우즈는 미국의 락밴드로 1991년 캘리포니아에서 결성됐습니다. 1993년에 첫번째앨범 August And Everything After의 첫번째 싱글인 이곡 Mr. Jones의 인기로 전세계에서 2천만장넘게 앨범을 팔아치우면서 유명세를 탑니다. 보컬 아담 두리츠의 호소력 짙으면서도 컨트리틱한 음색이 너무 좋네요. 1996년에 발매된 두번째 앨범 Recovering the Satelite도 빌보드앨범차트 1위를 기록하며 큰 인기를 얻습니다. 나오는 앨범마다 꾸준히 인기를 얻는데요. 최근 2012년에 나온 6번째 앨범도 빌보드차트 11위를 기록하며 왕성한 활동을 벌이고 있습니다. 즐감하세요!

Shalalala la la la Uh huh..
I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with a black-haired flamenco dancer
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful
So come dance this silence down through the morning
Shalalala la la la la yeah.. uh huh yeah..
Cut up Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
Cause I want to be someone who believes

Yeah!

Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
And we Stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

Well Ima paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
Yeah well you know Gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew a Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

Mr. Jones and me look into the future
Yeah we Stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you.
I don't think so. She's looking at me."
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely

Ill never be lonely
cause im never gonna be lonely


I want to be a lion
Yeah!, Everybody wants to pass as cats
We all want to be big big stars,yeah but we got different reasons for that
Believe in me cause I don't believe in anything
and I, I want to be someone to believe to believe to believe yeah!

Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
"She's perfect for you, Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
I want to be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody loves you, ah son, that's just about as funky as you can be

Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me
We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why, and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me, I want to be just about as happy as can be
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars..
