More quotes by 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
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.
Dave Matthews
Move into kiss those sweet sugar lips, baby looks just like love.
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
I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.
Dave Matthews
The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.
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
We give the podium to a lot of people who shouldn't have the podium. The message that's delivered the loudest and in the most entertaining way is the one that we're going to put on because that's what we want. We want ratings more than we want to deliver information. That's just where the culture's gotten.
Dave Matthews
We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace.
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
Just knowing that the world is round Here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down? Is this real or am I dreaming?
Dave Matthews
Turns out, not where, but who you're with that really matters.
Dave Matthews
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.
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
Dave Matthews
I don't touch electric guitars. It's just not my thing - I stick with acoustic guitars only.
Dave Matthews
South Africa gives me a perspective of what's real and what's not real. So I go back to South Africa to both lose myself and gain awareness of myself. Every time I go back, it doesn't take long for me to get caught into a very different thing. A very different sense of myself.
Dave Matthews
Everyday should be a good day to die
Dave Matthews
Troubles, they may come and go, but good times, they're the gold.
Dave Matthews
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
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.
