I do still get shocked every once in a while when I catch my reflection when I'm walking past a glass building, but it's in my mind about getting older and finding out what I'm going to look like as it unfolds - or as it folds, depending on where the marks and scars land.

I never went to college - I barely got out of high school.

I feel that I have worked my whole life to get to the point where I should have a good understanding of women.

I'm only this far, and only tomorrow leads my way.

Digging a ditch where madness gives a bit Digging a ditch where silence lives Digging a ditch for when I'm old Digging this ditch my story's told Where all these troubles weigh down on me will rise ..... Where all these questions spinning round my head will die

There's war - there's always been war, as long as most of us have been alive. There have always been people being abused, there's always been horrible things in the world. Why are we outraged? We should just be quiet and figure it out, and work it out together.

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.

I don't touch electric guitars. It's just not my thing - I stick with acoustic guitars only.
Dave Matthews
Image
I have always been drawn to percussion and drums, to bass and piano, in music much more then I am drawn to the guitar and the other lead instruments.
Dave Matthews
Image
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.

When I step into the light My arms are open wide When I step into the light My eyes searching wildly

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.

There's a freedom to being young that is harder to come by as time goes on.

Image
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.

Move into kiss those sweet sugar lips, baby looks just like love.

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.

Look, Here are we, On this starry night staring into space, And I must say, I feel as small as dust, Lying down here...

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

The idea of God as a fatherly figure who looks down on us and worries about how we're doing or takes sides when we have fights - it's more irritating than Santa Claus. The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.
