I don't touch electric guitars. It's just not my thing - I stick with acoustic guitars only.
Dave Matthews
Image
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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

So often we talk about saving the planet, but what we really mean is to save the planet the way it is, so we can live here. So that is can sustain us.

Image
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
I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.

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

Image
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself, sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else.

I'm not going to change my ways just to please you, or appease you.

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.

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.

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

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

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

I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.

I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles I'm coming slow but speeding
