Why won't you run in the rain and play, let the tears splash all over you?
Dave Matthews

Just knowing that the world is round Here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down? Is this real or am I dreaming?
Dave Matthews
Image
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles I'm coming slow but speeding
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.

Turns out, not where, but who you're with that really matters.

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

Being able to scream at the top of my lungs in front of people is very therapeutic. It is a great gift for me to be able to do that.
Dave Matthews
Image
We spend a lot of time bickering at great cost, and very little time actually coming up with solutions. And I think we misuse our ambition for our own gains and rarely for the betterment of ourselves, and people around us and our environment. And I think that's sort of pathetic and desperate.

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

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.

The melodies are always the most important part to me. I am pulled more to the groove than the chord progression. After you find the groove, you find the most simple chord progressions and then sit inside that groove.
Dave Matthews

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

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

You seek up an emotion and your cup is overflowing, you seek up an emotion sometimes your well is dry

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

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

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.

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

We look to our leaders once we elect them to either lead us in the right direction or at least not crush us.
