In many instances, we are much better at fixing our mistakes after we've made them. In some situations, it is easier to sweep things under the rug and forget about them.

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

Would you like to play With the thought of a friend In a distant passing stage While you lie around With your hands up and out So resigned you will fall down.

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.

Always walk where you like your steps.
Dave Matthews
Image
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
How could I have been anyone other than me?
Dave Matthews
Image
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.

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

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!

There's war - there's always been war, as long as most of us have been alive. There have always been people being abused, there's always been horrible things in the world. Why are we outraged? We should just be quiet and figure it out, and work it out together.

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
Image
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

Every day things change, but basically they stay the same.
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.
Dave Matthews

I've always been obsessed by visual art as I have been by music personally, but that doesn't mean anything professionally.

Because life is short but sweet for certain We're climbing two by two To be sure these days continue These things we cannot change

I fear that our true motivation is about oil and our own flailing economy about the failure to destroy Al Qaeda and about revenge.
