More quotes by Dave Matthews
Move into kiss those sweet sugar lips, baby looks just like love.
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.
Dave Matthews
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
I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay.
Dave Matthews
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
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
Being able to scream at the top of my lungs in front of people is very therapeutic. It is a great gift for me to be able to do that.
Dave Matthews
Every day things change, but basically they stay the same.
Dave Matthews
To change the world It starts with one step However small First step is hardest of all.
Dave Matthews
How we can stay faithful to the people that have supported us from the beginning is a thought in my mind. I always want to keep that part of it alive.
Dave Matthews
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
Dave Matthews
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself, sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else.
Dave Matthews
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
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.
Dave Matthews
Tomorrow is no place to place your better days.
Dave Matthews
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
Don't burn the day away...
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
The moon is quite a show off given the chance. The stars make a sound when they shine so bright. Water so blue and so black.
Dave Matthews
I'm only this far, and only tomorrow leads my way.
