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

More quotes by 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.
Dave Matthews
We give the podium to a lot of people who shouldn't have the podium. The message that's delivered the loudest and in the most entertaining way is the one that we're going to put on because that's what we want. We want ratings more than we want to deliver information. That's just where the culture's gotten.
Dave Matthews
Six senses keeping Five around a sense of self
Dave Matthews
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
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.
Dave Matthews
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
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
I don't feel like I'm standing in a position where I have some right above other people to say what I think. We should all be talking to each other about what we think is important - whether we're in politics, or whether we're checking out at a grocery store. We shouldn't put walls up between each other.
Dave Matthews
My songs are like a three-legged dog - you have to get to know them to have any love for them.
Dave Matthews
If at all God's gaze falls upon us all it's with a mischievous grin, look at him.
Dave Matthews
In so many areas of life, I'm a spaz and incompetent.
Dave Matthews
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
Dave Matthews
We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace.
Dave Matthews
Move into kiss those sweet sugar lips, baby looks just like love.
Dave Matthews
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
I never went to college - I barely got out of high school.
Dave Matthews
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.
Dave Matthews
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.
Dave Matthews
I don't touch electric guitars. It's just not my thing - I stick with acoustic guitars only.
Dave Matthews
There's a freedom to being young that is harder to come by as time goes on.
