More quotes by Dave Matthews
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.
Dave Matthews
I've always been obsessed by visual art as I have been by music personally, but that doesn't mean anything professionally.
Dave Matthews
South Africa gives me a perspective of what's real and what's not real. So I go back to South Africa to both lose myself and gain awareness of myself. Every time I go back, it doesn't take long for me to get caught into a very different thing. A very different sense of myself.
Dave Matthews
We've never played at this place before. This place is big, and I'm kinda nervous, so we're going to make it feel small by pretending we're in a... bedroom. We'll hang off the edge of the bed, take off our shoes and get naked!
Dave Matthews
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.
Dave Matthews
Leave the big door open, everyone'll come around.
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
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
I don't want to die, obviously, but really, the wonder of life is amplified by the fact that it ends.
Dave Matthews
I use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means.
Dave Matthews
I'm a very vicious critic of myself.
Dave Matthews
Everything good needs replacing
Dave Matthews
I think I am a very kind person. I think I'm joyful, but I could be kinder and I could be more joyful. I do believe peace is a state of grace, and not the absence of violence.
Dave Matthews
When I look at how fortunate I've been, being a musician... my response to being overpaid is that I should pay it back to my community in some way.
Dave Matthews
Don't burn the day away...
Dave Matthews
Everyday should be a good day to die
Dave Matthews
But then there are magical, beautiful things in the world, and there's incredible acts of kindness and bravery and in the most unlikely places, and it gives you hope.
Dave Matthews
So why would you care To get out of this place? You and me and all our friends, Such a happy human race. Eat, drink and be merry, For tomorrow we die.
Dave Matthews
I'm only this far, and only tomorrow leads my way.
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.
