More quotes by 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
I'm a fairly tormented artist, and I'm less willing to indulge myself in self-pity, outside of songwriting.
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
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

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
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
Dave Matthews
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
Dave Matthews
If you've got a question just get in line 'Cause my intentions are to make you mine I'll take care of everything All you need, friend, is right here ..... And if you're lost I will find your way Give me your soul, friend, it's okay
Dave Matthews
To change the world It starts with one step However small First step is hardest of all.
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 never went to college - I barely got out of high school.
Dave Matthews
I'm not going to change my ways just to please you, or appease you.
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
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
