I never went to college - I barely got out of high school.
Dave Matthews
Image
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.

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.

Leave the big door open, everyone'll come around.
Dave Matthews
Image
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.

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.

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.

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

Digging a ditch where madness gives a bit Digging a ditch where silence lives Digging a ditch for when I'm old Digging this ditch my story's told Where all these troubles weigh down on me will rise ..... Where all these questions spinning round my head will die
Dave Matthews
Image
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself, sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else.
Dave Matthews
Image
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.

To change the world It starts with one step However small First step is hardest of all.
Dave Matthews
Image
The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.

Image
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
Image
So let us sleep outside tonight, Lay down in our mother's arms, for here we can rest safely.

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.

I'm only this far, and only tomorrow leads my way.
