I am a HUGE fan of Dave Matthews Band. I've seen them three times in concert. The Rose Bowl and Golden Gate park were incredible shows. I also saw them at the Convention Center. That was a sad show because their saxophonist Leroy died that day. I can't believe they still played. They were still great but the venue had no character and the crowd was kind of douchy.
I am definitely the only one of my friends that loves DMB. Some compare him to country, but I would say they are more soulful folk. What I love most about DMB are his lyrics. They're heart-wrenching. Some could say that I fell in love with DMB, because I was in love with the person who introduced me to them. But I have definitely established my own personal admiration that will continue throughout my life.
Dave Matthews is a poet with a wonderful sense of humor. He caters to the hopeless romantic aspect of my personality. Here are some of my favorite songs and lyrics. It was hard to narrow it down. They take some getting used to, but at one point, the switch goes off and your a die hard fan. At concerts, I can truly feel praise, borderline worship, all around me. They also happen to be way better live than in the studio.
3-07 Break Free (Live) by skyesmith12
"I drink your poison if you fill the cup
You make me crazy, baby, don’t let up
But if I’m falling I don’t wanna stop
I’d give up everything to have your love"
07 Crush by skyesmith12
"Lovely lady, let me drink you, please
I won't spill a, drop no, I promise you."
1-03 Stay or Leave by skyesmith12
"Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be too"
"Hey, my love,
you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and you quench my mind"
Break Free and Crush are really good make-out songs. Stay or Leave and Two Step are fun ones to sing along to.
I really hope you enjoy them because they are amazing :)
