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
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.

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.

Why won't you run in the rain and play, let the tears splash all over you?

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

I don't want to die, obviously, but really, the wonder of life is amplified by the fact that it ends.
Dave Matthews
Image
There's a freedom to being young that is harder to come by as time goes on.
Dave Matthews
Image
I'll be back 'round again, yes, I'll walk in time with you, old friend. And we'll find that place that we had danced in so long ago.

Because life is short but sweet for certain
Dave Matthews
Image
We spend a lot of time bickering at great cost, and very little time actually coming up with solutions. And I think we misuse our ambition for our own gains and rarely for the betterment of ourselves, and people around us and our environment. And I think that's sort of pathetic and desperate.
Dave Matthews
Image
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself, sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else.
Dave Matthews
Image
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well. I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been.
Dave Matthews
Image
It's funny, I get a little quieter with time. I don't want to chase my tail and one day repeat myself and repeat myself and one day have kids going to college and not have memories that I should, because I was too busy doing my thing.
Dave Matthews
Image
I've always been obsessed by visual art as I have been by music personally, but that doesn't mean anything professionally.

Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die

What I want is what I've not got, but what I need is all around me.
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.
