Quote

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.

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

I don't want to die, obviously, but really, the wonder of life is amplified by the fact that it ends.
Dave Matthews
Image
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.

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.

I'm a very vicious critic of myself.

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

My songs are like a three-legged dog - you have to get to know them to have any love for them.

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

I don't think socialism, and I don't think warmness and respect are necessarily bad words.

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.
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.
Dave Matthews

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
I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay.

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.

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.

Probably most of the time I watch children's movies because my kids are on the bus, so it requires them.

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
