Dave Matthews

"Funny the way it is, if you think about it. Somebodys going hungry, someone else is eating out. Funny the way it is, not right or wrong. Somebodys heart is broken, it becomes your favorite song."

"Oh! We already, we done already done it, done it, dammit! I could you know, like, sing a thing, and then not sing it for a little while, and then sing it again... and people would be like, "Whyd he sing that again?"

"You seek up a big monster for him to fight your wars for you."

"Crazy how it feels tonight Crazy how you make it all alright love You crush me with the things you do And I do for you anything too."

"And as you go I will spread my wings. Yes, I will call this home. I have no time to justify to you, Fool, youre blind, move aside for me. All I can say to you my new neighbor, You must move on or I will bury you."

"If I go before I’m old, Oh brother of mine please don’t forget me if I go. Bartender please, fill my glass for me? With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free, after three days in the ground."

"Theres often a lot of stupid ideas like "you all dress as fruits and pretend youre selling underpants" or "well put you on a bed of nails and drive a truck over the top and photograph you" for the cover."

"So I watched the Pink Panther last night, and so Im trying desperately to be funny, and then its just not working out so good... I wonder if maybe I couldve been a comedian or something like that, or maybe I couldve been a doctor, then I wouldnt have to make anyone laugh."

"Our good friend LeRoi Moore passed on and gave up his ghost today, and we will miss him forever."

"Being a physicist, my father was a great believer in progress, but he also loved nature. He was a photographer, and outside of taking the occasional family photographs, all he did was photograph nature. He loved birds. That meant a lot to me growing up. Healthy progress also means we have to be concerned for the environment. That may have something to do with what I believe about farming."

"Im way more American than George Bush and Dick Cheney."

"Thats the magic of this band: shooting from the hip. The lights have to follow our cues, because were not going to follow their cues. Were not going to stick to a song the way its supposed to be. Everything is up to us. Thats music to me. Thats American music. Were an American band."
