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

More quotes by Dave Matthews
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
I use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means.
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
In many instances, we are much better at fixing our mistakes after we've made them. In some situations, it is easier to sweep things under the rug and forget about them.
Dave Matthews
I always like to have an atlas just so that I can find things out. It's always good to have an almanac those sort of things.
Dave Matthews
In so many areas of life, I'm a spaz and incompetent.
Dave Matthews
I don't understand at best, I cannot speak for all the rest. But you may find a lifetime's passed you by. Every dog has its day, every day has its way Of being forgotten.
Dave Matthews
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.
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
I'm from a very politically and socially conscious family. My mother always made a point of making us look at what was going on around us and take stock of our part in it.
Dave Matthews
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
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
Dave Matthews
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
I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.
Dave Matthews
How we can stay faithful to the people that have supported us from the beginning is a thought in my mind. I always want to keep that part of it alive.
Dave Matthews
Why won't you run in the rain and play, let the tears splash all over you?
Dave Matthews
I don't touch electric guitars. It's just not my thing - I stick with acoustic guitars only.
Dave Matthews
Everything good needs replacing
Dave Matthews
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
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.
