We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace.
Dave Matthews

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Oh look at how she listens She says nothing of what she thinks She just goes stumbling through her memories Staring out on to Grey Street

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

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

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.

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

I don't want to die, obviously, but really, the wonder of life is amplified by the fact that it ends.

When I don't say a word and you know exactly what I mean.

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

You know she's going to leave my broken heart behind her...

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

Move into kiss those sweet sugar lips, baby looks just like love.

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