Quote

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

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

Everything good needs replacing

She feels like kicking out all the windows And setting fire to this life She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright But all the colors mix together - to grey
Dave Matthews

I feel that I have worked my whole life to get to the point where I should have a good understanding of women.
Dave Matthews

What I want is what I've not got, but what I need is all around me.

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.

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.

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

I'm a very vicious critic of myself.

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

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

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

The idea of God as a fatherly figure who looks down on us and worries about how we're doing or takes sides when we have fights - it's more irritating than Santa Claus. The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.

I don't think socialism, and I don't think warmness and respect are necessarily bad words.
Dave Matthews
Image
For me, in songwriting, I have a route I can take. Maybe there's some forks, I can go this way, this way. But I know those roads. I still have the experience behind me.
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.

Yorke's lyrics make me want to give up. I could never in my wildest dreams find something as beautiful as they find for a single song - let alone album after album.

Troubles, they may come and go, but good times, they're the gold.

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

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.
