Tribute: Dave Matthews Band

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 :)

Broken Toes are No Fun

a shower door came off the hinges and landed right on my toe... Ouch!

Feel Good Song

Outside Lands

Last August, I went to a music festival in Golden Gate Park. The venue was amazing. The stages were really spread out, so it took awhile to get from one band to another, but it was so beautiful. I couldn't believe that I was smack in the center of San Francisco. I also really enjoyed the amount of porto-potties there were haha You didn't have to ever wait in line and the usual unbearable stench was toned down.


This is me and my friend Loren entering it on day 1.


The Heineken tent was SO fun! First of all, it was air conditioned. Second, you got beer. Third, they played really good dubstep and electro. Andrew, Loren, and I stared at the ceiling for a good half an hour. It was so realistic. People thought we were tripping, because you had the illusion that beer was pouring on you. So when the bottle would appear, we be like "uh uh uh... uhhhhhhhhh" as it "poured" over us. It was hilarious!



This is my lover Dave Matthews. I went to the festival to see him. Right before he played this song, I said in my head "Play one for me Dave" and then he played my favorite song that he rarely plays! It was awesome :D

The new line up isn't out yet, but hopefully I can make it out there again this summer.

Guilty Pleasure

Watch it. Love it. Embrace it.

This is one of my favorite shows. I think it was designed to entertain housewives, but it's actually amazing to watch the cultural diversity within the United States and how much people resist when forced to do something new... like exercising and eating healthy.

I Heart SF

One of the best things about Santa Cruz is that San Francisco is an hour away...
I met up with some friends this weekend and enjoyed the beautiful city.

Hannah & Matisse

This club was awesome and not just because it has my name in it :) Hard electro music with a lot of Europeans and it's open until 4. Definitely a good place to end the night. We also went to a club called Slide, where you could ride down a big slide to get in.. so fun!

The view from the house. So incredible.
