One of my all time favorite songs, A Long December by Counting Crows from their Recovering the Satellites CD:
A long December and there's reason to believe,
Maybe this year will be better than the last.
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaving,

And it's one more night in Hollywood.

To see the way that light attaches to a girl.
And it's one more day up in the canyons,
And it's one more night in Hollywood.
If you think you might come to California... I think you should...
Drove up to hillside manor sometime after two a.m.,
And talked a little while about the year.
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her.
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe,
Maybe this year will be better than the last.
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself,
To hold on to these moments as they pass.
And it's one more day up in the canyon,
And it's one more night in Hollywood.
