Quote

I'm a fairly tormented artist, and I'm less willing to indulge myself in self-pity, outside of songwriting.

I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.

The reason I play music is to touch people - for selfish reasons, as well. It feels good to make someone else feel something, whether it's a kiss, a painting, good idea or it's a song.

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.

I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay.

I like to think I'm a night person, because that's my job, but now I'm a father of three. I'm trying to become more of a morning person. I don't know if it will last. I have two choices, right? Either I'm bitter about getting up early, or I start drinking wine earlier and get to bed.

For me, in songwriting, I have a route I can take. Maybe there's some forks, I can go this way, this way. But I know those roads. I still have the experience behind me.

When I look at how fortunate I've been, being a musician... my response to being overpaid is that I should pay it back to my community in some way.

For a moment this good time would never end You and me Just wasting time I was kissing you You were kissing me love From good day into a moonlight

Turns out, not where, but who you're with that really matters.

Yorke's lyrics make me want to give up. I could never in my wildest dreams find something as beautiful as they find for a single song - let alone album after album.

Digging a ditch where madness gives a bit Digging a ditch where silence lives Digging a ditch for when I'm old Digging this ditch my story's told Where all these troubles weigh down on me will rise ..... Where all these questions spinning round my head will die

I hate to admit it, but we're badass.

In so many areas of life, I'm a spaz and incompetent.
Dave Matthews

I use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means.
Dave Matthews
Image
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.

Everyday should be a good day to die

The idea of God as a fatherly figure who looks down on us and worries about how we're doing or takes sides when we have fights - it's more irritating than Santa Claus. The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.

I think I am a very kind person. I think I'm joyful, but I could be kinder and I could be more joyful. I do believe peace is a state of grace, and not the absence of violence.

Would you like to play With the thought of a friend In a distant passing stage While you lie around With your hands up and out So resigned you will fall down.

Are you looking for answers, to questions under the stars? If along the way you are growing weary, You can rest with me until a brighter day It's okay
