More quotes by Dave Matthews
So often we talk about saving the planet, but what we really mean is to save the planet the way it is, so we can live here. So that is can sustain us.
Dave Matthews
I'm a fairly tormented artist, and I'm less willing to indulge myself in self-pity, outside of songwriting.
Dave Matthews
Sometimes it's nice to be able to reflect on the music itself and then write lyrics that I feel anyone can relate to. It's not my dreaming tree that is dead. The feeling of a loss of hope is universal. There are moments that we've all felt a little bit of it, so I don't think it is something that is too hard to identify with.
Dave Matthews
She feels like kicking out all the windows And setting fire to this life She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright But all the colors mix together - to grey
Dave Matthews
If at all God's gaze falls upon us all it's with a mischievous grin, look at him.
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 see you young and soft oh little baby Little feet, little hands, little baby One year of crying and the words creep up inside Creep into your mind So much to say
Dave Matthews
Because life is short but sweet for certain We're climbing two by two To be sure these days continue These things we cannot change
Dave Matthews
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.
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
We have to do much more than believe if we really want to change things.
Dave Matthews
I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.
Dave Matthews
Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die
Dave Matthews
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles I'm coming slow but speeding
Dave Matthews
I want to figure out a way to not be stupid with money, then make a whole bunch of it, then I want to move to Outer Mongolia. I want to milk a yak. Maybe I'll just settle for a cow.
Dave Matthews
We look to our leaders once we elect them to either lead us in the right direction or at least not crush us.
Dave Matthews
My songs are like a three-legged dog - you have to get to know them to have any love for them.
Dave Matthews
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.
Dave Matthews
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself, sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else.
Dave Matthews
Turns out, not where, but who you're with that really matters.
Dave Matthews
