I'm a bit of a caveman - I don't go out into the digital space very often. I lie facedown on the grass and count how many bugs I can find.

Image
The melodies are always the most important part to me. I am pulled more to the groove than the chord progression. After you find the groove, you find the most simple chord progressions and then sit inside that groove.

There's war - there's always been war, as long as most of us have been alive. There have always been people being abused, there's always been horrible things in the world. Why are we outraged? We should just be quiet and figure it out, and work it out together.

The moon is quite a show off given the chance. The stars make a sound when they shine so bright. Water so blue and so black.

Leave the big door open, everyone'll come around.

I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
Dave Matthews

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

What I want is what I've not got, but what I need is all around me.
Dave Matthews
Image
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
Image
But then there are magical, beautiful things in the world, and there's incredible acts of kindness and bravery and in the most unlikely places, and it gives you hope.

We have to do much more than believe if we really want to change things.

Troubles, they may come and go, but good times, they're the gold.
