This is a great song!

I am just now starting appreciate DMB.

I am liking them more and more as I hear more of their songs. They have a truly unique sound.

Excellent song.

To be perfectly honest, I think most everything by Dave is nothing but amazing. I'm a huge Dave fan and I really think that you just have to love Dave to really get the full effect. Everything off of the Busted Stuff album is pretty cool in my opinion...but if you really want some good stuff then go buy one of his older albums. Get BTCS or Under The Table or even Crash, there are some songs that I think Dave may never be able to top, but he still put those amazing songs out. The 29th I saw him and Tim Reynolds in Boone, N.C. and it was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. It's a totally different experience than seeing Dave w/ the band! I guess everyone has their own opinion, but I think Dave is a great artist, every song he puts out I love! Hope every has checked out the Blue Man Group feat. Dave video...you can find it on the internet, it's really cool! Also, download Dave's new song that he played on the Dave and Tim tour, Stay or Leave, it's great!

damb! I keep looking, but there's still nothing lower than 1.

Guess you eaither love em or hate em. If you're not sure which way you're leaning, check out a live show. It's a different experience than listening on radio or cd.
That said, i used to be a big fan, but i'm rather sick of them at this point

LOL . . . do you happen to frequent fark.com? Lotta kittie killin' goin' on over there.

Regarding DMB, their music is pretty overplayed on the lame excuses for FM stations here in LA, but I enjoy hearing a song or two from them occasionally on RP. This particular song is quite likable IMHO.

I don't dig. There's way too much youthful pretense in Dave for someone in his 30s. His writing feels self-congratulatory to me. Meh, the only members of the band that are worth anything are the drummer and bassist. The rest are a joke - including Dave.

The coments here finally made me pay attention to the lyrics. Wow, good stuff.

Yes!! Me too. I just find myself not wanting to subject myself to their music.

Ok, I might have misremembered. Was it kitties that he killed, not puppies?

NO HE DID NOT!! Shame on you!! Don't talk bad about Dave!! Given the hatred of Dave here, people are bound to believe it!


:p

I am a huge DMB fan, as many know. I think he is an amazingly gifted lyric writer, as well as guitar player. He and his band have been together almost 20 years, and they put on one of the most tight live shows going. YAY DMB!!

Well, he did kill those puppies...

if i were twentysomething now the dmb is a group that i would be crazy about. i even like them at my advanced age.

I don't understand where all the dislike comes from... I never knew (except for the name) the Dave Matthews Band before, now that I know it through RP I find it quite likable, pretty good stuff actually. Why this hate against one artist? What terrible thing did he do?

dave matthews umm sure i hear him all the time but hes very good and well when i heard enough of it just turn it down or move on.......

DMB is all right by me. Love the change ups and tweaking he does to rhythms. He sneaks in beats unexpectedly and very lyrically to these ears. Quite the poet, too. Encore!

Thanks for playing this song.....it's good stuff

I thought the selection of instruments is one of the factors that defines a genre in the first place. But we're getting hung up on symantics. Sax or no sax, the song is dull.

Please keep playing the DMB! I really like this song

Your comments have caused me to really listen to the lyrics Mateo. Thanks for the insight.

god, i don't like this band to begin with, but this song SUCKS!!! like so many have said before me,
ENOUGH WITH DMB!
there is plenty more (good) music to play....

This is one of my favorite DMB songs. Reasons? Yes, actually,
1) We all dream ourselves around the world, but we're stuck where we are, and we must learn to accept it.
2) We all have a "crazy man" to whom we will either listen or ignore and reject.
3) Some things are the way they are, that's life, and there is no way around it.
4) At some point we feel that emptines, that need to kick all the windows out.
5) Even though it feels at times that my prayers do fall on deaf ears, I have learned they never do.

good stuff

Well, let me know when the E. Street band start backing Dave "Tuneless" Matthews, and we can re-evalutate the rule.

I never claimed this wasn't rock, just that it sucked.

I used to like some DMB until I came to RP. Now I have developed a Pavlovian response where at the first few notes of any DMB song, my hand involuntarily reaches for the mute button. Bill, I just don't understand why we have to hear DMB so many times a day. There is so much other music out there. The same comment applies to Natalie Merchant :)

The lyrics of this song are very touching and insightful... I love this song.

This "Saxaphone rule" is ridiculous.

That said, I'm *so* f**king sick of DMB. For crying out loud, it's the same songs, day after day after day after day...

RIGHT ON!!!


And seriously - since when do the type of instruments determine what kind of genre the music is? That makes no sense to me. Lame.

You've gopt to be kidding. I juess the combination of the E Street band and the Boss don't make for good "Rock" becasue of the Sax. Whatever!!
