More quotes by Dave Matthews
For me, in songwriting, I have a route I can take. Maybe there's some forks, I can go this way, this way. But I know those roads. I still have the experience behind me.
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
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
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
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.
Dave Matthews
Leave the big door open, everyone'll come around.
Dave Matthews
I feel that I have worked my whole life to get to the point where I should have a good understanding of women.
Dave Matthews
I'm a very vicious critic of myself.
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
The problem is someone will try to convince you That they know the answer no matter the question Be wary of those who believe in a neat little world 'Cause it's just ..... crazy - you know that it is
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
When I step into the light My arms are open wide When I step into the light My eyes searching wildly
Dave Matthews
Why won't you run in the rain and play, let the tears splash all over you?
Dave Matthews
I like to think I'm a night person, because that's my job, but now I'm a father of three. I'm trying to become more of a morning person. I don't know if it will last. I have two choices, right? Either I'm bitter about getting up early, or I start drinking wine earlier and get to bed.
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
You seek up an emotion and your cup is overflowing, you seek up an emotion sometimes your well is dry
Dave Matthews
I use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means.
Dave Matthews
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.
Dave Matthews
When I don't say a word and you know exactly what I mean.
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?
