A Long December

Counting Crows

A Long December works as a rock selection rather than an automatic party anthem. This is a deeper cut for listeners who know Counting Crows well. Treat it as a performance piece, not a guaranteed group singalong.

Performance tip

A Long December will land more clearly if you plan a breath within the longest line, which is about 14 words. For A Long December, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Choose A Long December when a consistent emotional point of view suits you. It has more changing verse text than repeated hook material, with room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
