Dave Matthews

It's live music, primarily, and I think that live music is always going to float above water, and people will always be drawn to it.  I think people do get tired of things being packaged for them.  I think people do grow tired of being spoon-fed, and if it's not every generation, it's sort of every couple or every half-generation.  I feel like people go "I don't want to be told what's cool.  I want to go and find out for myself."  I mean, sure, we want to hear people be smooth and look cool, but not all the time.  You also just want to go get your head blown off by something that will never happen again.

So I wonder this, as life billows smoke inside my head
This little game where nothing is sure
Why would you play by the rules?
Who did?  You did.  You...

So the story goes, so I'm told
The people he knew were
Less than golden hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Like you and me

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

When I don't say a word and you know exactly what I mean...

Goodnight moon.  Sweet dreams.  Smile kindly upon this little blue gum ball of us while we sleep.

Sitting still as stone watching - watching
People walking by you wondering why
No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it - if they ever did

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

You watch the light.

People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange
And all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennas waving
They all do it the same
We all do it the same way
