I'm a very vicious critic of myself.
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.

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

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.

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.

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

I'm a fairly tormented artist, and I'm less willing to indulge myself in self-pity, outside of songwriting.
Dave Matthews

I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.

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

To change the world It starts with one step However small First step is hardest of all.

Some might tell you there's no hope in hand Just because they feel hopeless But you don't have to be a thing like that You be a ship in a bottle set sail

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