Quote

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 use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means.

I'm a bit of a caveman - I don't go out into the digital space very often. I lie facedown on the grass and count how many bugs I can find.

Because life is short but sweet for certain We're climbing two by two To be sure these days continue These things we cannot change
Dave Matthews

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

A vote for change is a vote for a stronger, safer, healthier America. A vote for Bush is a vote for a divided, unstable, paranoid America. It is our duty to this beautiful land to let our voices be heard. That's the reason for the tour. That's why I'm doing it.

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.

The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.

Tomorrow is no place to place your better days.

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

Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die

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

A friend is always good to have, but a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down on me.

Everyday should be a good day to die

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.

If at all God's gaze falls upon us all it's with a mischievous grin, look at him.

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

I want to figure out a way to not be stupid with money, then make a whole bunch of it, then I want to move to Outer Mongolia. I want to milk a yak. Maybe I'll just settle for a cow.

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