Counting Crows and Blof - Beat - 06-13-2004

One of my favourite bands Counting Crows teamed up with a very good dutch band called Blof to do a song called Holiday In Spain. A great song which is nr. 1 in Holland just two weeks after its release. Blof opened for Counting Crows earlier this year in Rotterdam. They played a few songs together and blew everybody away. Therefore they released this single, check it out at kazaa :thumb:

Last night I heard the song for the first time.. and it was super :thumb:

That song was originally released on the Counting Crows album "Hard Candy." They must have re-recorded it.

Does one of the members of Bløf sing on the new version?

- Beat - 06-13-2004

You're right Chris, they re-recorded it. Adam duritz and the singer of Blof, Paskal Jakobsen both sing, sometimes apart, and the chorus together. Sounds good Smile

I downloaded the Bløf & CC version, and, although I don't understand a word that Paskal sings, I like it. Also, I much prefer Adam's vocals on the new track compared to the original.

Thanks for the info.

whats up with the counting crows. Are they down and out? Or hurting for cash? I have seen ads here for an upcoming show at the casino north of East Lansing. Is it just me or have they bottomed out?

- Beat - 06-13-2004

I have no idea prz, in Holland they are quite popular.

anyone have a copy or know where I can find one? Holiday in Spain is one of my all time favorite songs. When life feels like shit, Adam knows how to get it right...
