I don't dislike this nearly as much as most DM songs. A pleasant 7.

Run to your dreaming

great DMB song!

Unto your dreaming
When you're alone
Unplug the TV
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch

Just saw him in Toronto on Saturday with my two adult daughters. Played for three hours, peddle to the metal. High energy. A man of few words between songs, though. His set was a bit disappointing, actually. Ignored many of the classics. I know he was promoting the new CD. His encore tended to kill all the excitement, I felt. Also, having seen him for the first time, I noticed how each song was about 12 min. long. Solos from his supporting cast over and over. Amazing show, no doubt. But ... maybe I was hoping for more.

I always want to dislike DMB more than I actually do. The band's got chops — I think that's what keeps winning me over.

When are some people going to wake up to the fact that to millions of us, Dave Matthews cannot be overrated?

Just can't get into DMB.  Seems a little contrived...

This song, though, now that I've listened to it all the way through is pretty good....

Nothing overrated about it. Simply not your cup of tea, which is fine.

Just like everything else in this world: some people like, some don't, and some do but only when in the right mood.

Run to your dreaming
When you're alone
Not what you should be or what you've become
Just get heavy on with digging your ditch

I couldn't agree more with these sentiments.  Being a big DMB fan it has been difficult to attend shows in the past due to the antics of the "fans".  However, the knuckle-headed frat-boy jackasses that attended DMB shows in the early aughts have been forced to grow up, get jobs, and become reasonably decent productive citizens.  You might find the crowd more palatable and easy to get along with now... and the shows are as good as ever.

if you didn't catch DMB on last night's Grammy's broadcast...it was very very hot!  Lots of layered musical accompaniment...really nice!

I discovered DMB when I was working in Boston in 1997 and very much enjoyed it then.  On returning to Australia I was disappointed not to hear his stuff on Aussie radio.

I caught a live recording on Palladia this week (at Piedmont - 2007 I think) and I have to say the drummer has the most infectious smile. Just watching him made me want to be there. Of course I am biased - I saw them at Red Rocks in 95, third row. How could you not like them?

And yes, just because a group gets played on the radio does not negate their talent!!!

Yes, it is basically the Lillywhite Sessions, with some different or enhanced arrangements. JTR, a great song that they did live for awhile, and a few others did not end up on Busted Stuff. I'd add that I liked the version of Digging a Ditch better on the Lillywhites. The sax/violin part was more prominent and lilting.

Not really digging his digging. Only the nice sax saves this from a Ho-Hum rating by the Nottingham jury, as yer man's voice is soporific. I wonder if he's a hypnotist in his day job?

Empty your mind of all thoughts.
 Let your heart be at peace.
 Watch the turmoil of beings,
 but contemplate their return.
Each separate being in the universe
 returns to the common source.
 Returning to the source is serenity.

If you don't realize the source,
 you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
 When you realize where you come from,
 you naturally become tolerant,
 disinterested, amused,
 kindhearted as a grandmother,
 dignified as a king.

 Immersed in the wonder of the (INSERT BELIEF HERE) Tao,
 you can deal with whatever life brings you,
 and when death comes, you are ready.

Good players —- Carter Beauford is one of the best.

Live, the audience is 75 per cent women, whatever that means.

The problem with this band is a shortage of good songs.

That said, this one isn't bad at all.

Exactly....not enough good songs, but i like this, kind of bluesy
