More quotes by Dave Matthews

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.
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
Image
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.

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.
Dave Matthews

Look, Here are we, On this starry night staring into space, And I must say, I feel as small as dust, Lying down here...

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 fear that our true motivation is about oil and our own flailing economy about the failure to destroy Al Qaeda and about revenge.
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.
Dave Matthews
Image
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
Image
Are you looking for answers, to questions under the stars? If along the way you are growing weary, You can rest with me until a brighter day It's okay
Dave Matthews
Image
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
Dave Matthews
Image
To change the world It starts with one step However small First step is hardest of all.
Dave Matthews

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

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
Image
I'm a bit of a caveman - I don't go out into the digital space very often. I lie facedown on the grass and count how many bugs I can find.
Dave Matthews
Image
I'm a fairly tormented artist, and I'm less willing to indulge myself in self-pity, outside of songwriting.

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.
