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
Image
I hope that just what I sing about and how I relate to my audience is as much of a political statement as I need to make.
Dave Matthews
Image
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.

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

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.

Tomorrow is no place to place your better days.

Every day things change, but basically they stay the same.

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.

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.

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

I fear that our true motivation is about oil and our own flailing economy about the failure to destroy Al Qaeda and about revenge.

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.

So let us sleep outside tonight, Lay down in our mother's arms, for here we can rest safely.
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.

Don't burn the day away...
Dave Matthews
Image
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.
Dave Matthews
Image
We've never played at this place before. This place is big, and I'm kinda nervous, so we're going to make it feel small by pretending we're in a... bedroom. We'll hang off the edge of the bed, take off our shoes and get naked!
Dave Matthews
Image
Look, Here are we, On this starry night staring into space, And I must say, I feel as small as dust, Lying down here...
Dave Matthews
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.

I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles I'm coming slow but speeding
