counting crows'un Leziz parçası.. sözler;

i was down at the new amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl
mr. jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer
she dances while his father plays guitar
she's suddenly beautiful
we all want something beautiful
i wish i was beautiful
so come dance this silence down through the morning
cut up maria!
show me some of them spanish dances
pass me a bottle, mr. jones
believe in me
help me believe in anything
i want to be someone who believes

mr. jones and me tell each other fairy tales
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

i will paint my picture
paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
all of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
gray is my favorite color
i felt so symbolic yesterday
if i knew picasso
i would buy myself a gray guitar and play

mr. jones and me look into the future
stare at the beautiful women
"she's looking at you.
uh, 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

i want to be a lion
everybody wants to pass as cats
we all want to be big big stars, but we got different reasons for that
believe in me because i don't believe in anything
and i want to be someone to believe

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, 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'm going to be just about as happy as can be
mr. jones and me, we're gonna be big stars..

richard gere'in, manik olan bay jones'u oynadığı ve bay jones'un hayatını anlatan 1993 yapımı "muhteşem olmayan" film.

manik depresif bir adamın hayat hikayesini konu edinen trajikomik bir film. mani ve depresyon bütün semptomları ile ancak bu kadar güzel özetlenebilirdi.

bipolar bozukluk hastası olan mr jones'un hayatını anlatan 1993 yapımı trajikomik film. izlerken insan gülse mi üzülse mi bilemiyor yer yer.

manik depresyonu anlatan filmlerden biridir ve bence 5.8'den daha fazla imbd puanını hak ediyor.

--spoiler--
film "i feel good" adlı şarkıyla başlar; bu şarkı manik dönemi anlatmak için süper bir seçim olmuş bence.
--spoiler--

ayrıca film mani ile başlıyor ki erkeklerde bu hastalık mani dönemiyle başlar, sonrasında depresyonla seyreder; bu da hoş ve kaliteli bir detay olmuş. film hakkında spoiler vermek istemiyorum, richard gere gerçekten rolünün hakkını vermiş.

Counting Crows adlı alternatif rock grubunun August and Everything After* albümünden eğlenceli bir şarkısı.

özellikle 'Sha la la la la la la' kısmıyla akılda kalıcı ve bir o kadar da catchy bir şarkıdır.
