When I look at how fortunate I've been, being a musician... my response to being overpaid is that I should pay it back to my community in some way.
Dave Matthews

Don't burn the day away...
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

Leave the big door open, everyone'll come around.

Yorke's lyrics make me want to give up. I could never in my wildest dreams find something as beautiful as they find for a single song - let alone album after album.
Dave Matthews
Image
So why would you care To get out of this place? You and me and all our friends, Such a happy human race. Eat, drink and be merry, For tomorrow we die.
Dave Matthews

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.

You know she's going to leave my broken heart behind her...

I've always been obsessed by visual art as I have been by music personally, but that doesn't mean anything professionally.
Dave Matthews
Image
The reason I play music is to touch people - for selfish reasons, as well. It feels good to make someone else feel something, whether it's a kiss, a painting, good idea or it's a song.
Dave Matthews
Image
What I want is what I've not got, but what I need is all around me.
Dave Matthews
Image
How could I have been anyone other than me?
Dave Matthews
Image
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
Image
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
Dave Matthews
Image
Would you like to play With the thought of a friend In a distant passing stage While you lie around With your hands up and out So resigned you will fall down.
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
Image
A friend is always good to have, but a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down on me.
Dave Matthews
Image
I'm a very vicious critic of myself.
Dave Matthews
Image
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

Oh look at how she listens She says nothing of what she thinks She just goes stumbling through her memories Staring out on to Grey Street
