More quotes by Dave Matthews
I'm from a very politically and socially conscious family. My mother always made a point of making us look at what was going on around us and take stock of our part in it.
Dave Matthews
I always like to have an atlas just so that I can find things out. It's always good to have an almanac those sort of things.
Dave Matthews
I'll be back 'round again, yes, I'll walk in time with you, old friend. And we'll find that place that we had danced in so long ago.
Dave Matthews
I'm a very vicious critic of myself.
Dave Matthews
I fear that our true motivation is about oil and our own flailing economy about the failure to destroy Al Qaeda and about revenge.
Dave Matthews
I have always been drawn to percussion and drums, to bass and piano, in music much more then I am drawn to the guitar and the other lead instruments.
Dave Matthews
I don't want to die, obviously, but really, the wonder of life is amplified by the fact that it ends.
Dave Matthews
Being able to scream at the top of my lungs in front of people is very therapeutic. It is a great gift for me to be able to do that.
Dave Matthews
Because one of the properties of music is to entertain and to, I don't mean this lightly, distract us from the things that pull us down. Music should be not only a source for political ideas but also a source of hope.
Dave Matthews
So let us sleep outside tonight, Lay down in our mother's arms, for here we can rest safely.
Dave Matthews
I'm only this far, and only tomorrow leads my way.
Dave Matthews
Some might tell you there's no hope in hand Just because they feel hopeless But you don't have to be a thing like that You be a ship in a bottle set sail
Dave Matthews
I don't touch electric guitars. It's just not my thing - I stick with acoustic guitars only.
Dave Matthews
Probably most of the time I watch children's movies because my kids are on the bus, so it requires them.
Dave Matthews
We spend a lot of time bickering at great cost, and very little time actually coming up with solutions. And I think we misuse our ambition for our own gains and rarely for the betterment of ourselves, and people around us and our environment. And I think that's sort of pathetic and desperate.
Dave Matthews
I don't feel like I'm standing in a position where I have some right above other people to say what I think. We should all be talking to each other about what we think is important - whether we're in politics, or whether we're checking out at a grocery store. We shouldn't put walls up between each other.
Dave Matthews
I've never been much of a craftsman, in an educated way. But I think just the experience of writing makes the avenues I follow a little more efficient in some ways. At the same time, when you're young, you're a little more fearless, and there's less of an internal critic.
Dave Matthews
In so many areas of life, I'm a spaz and incompetent.
Dave Matthews
Tomorrow is no place to place your better days.
Dave Matthews
My songs are like a three-legged dog - you have to get to know them to have any love for them.
