The best song I've heard from Dave in years! Great lyrics, and a ton of fun to play on guitar.

Great album. Somehow much more cohesive without the "band"...

Basically can't stand this man's music, whether solo or with his group.

Just for future reference..... this is NOT DMB...  just the DM sans B

it kind of sounds like a David Grey song is playing in the background on this

This is a beautiful song, as is evidence by my cube mate who 'hates' DMB but asked who does this song.

One of those songs that came out and listened to in a life change situation. Hated the time but love the song.

should an artist be judged by his/her fans? If so, then Dave has some problems. I saw him at a major festival some years ago, and the crowd was not only huge but they totally did NOT get the whole festival idea. Rude, aggressive, and territorial. Sad.

That point aside, I just don't "get" the buzz about DMB. Sorry.

If your point is that compassion is a virtue, then we're in agreement.

though it has nothing to do with the song, I have to mention that Hitler was not a vegetarian. He wanted people to think so apparently. Just had to set the record straight. Not a bad song though.

I think Dave is "different" in the best possible way. And he is a genius.

You're confusing character with taste. I'm sure there are plenty of people of virtuous character who have odd tastes. Both Hitler and Gandhi, for instance, were vegetarians. Their personal taste in food were not predictors of their character. So, no, I think that one's choices as a consumer, within norms, predict very little about character. Nice try, though.

Can a person's true character be exposed by what they choose to define: The things they like versus the things they dislike?

Just a though.

Thanks for the advice. I'd already switched to another station for the duration. I'm glad this is bringing joy to someone.

Rather subjective. I don't care for the absolute tone of this. "It's only music to you if you enjoy it. Otherwise I feel that it's just noise."

Sorry to nitpick, it's just that I can't see myself calling something noise if I don't care for something that's popular... well, unless it's rap.

It IS a rather unusual style, clipping off the syllables. But later in the song his phrasing flows more, so there's an interesting contrast going on.

I like DM and B a lot, but recognize he's not for everyone. Especially when DMB was so ridiculously overplayed on commercial radio.

I feel like he dwells too much on the past in this album. Much more so than previous ones.

He used to be enjoyable, but now I get a bit depressed listening to this lovesick drivel he puts out.

3. And not even deserving of that if you ask me.

when I first heard this song
I FELT it
and MEANT it
because that was exactly what was going on in my life then

and its a
jerky feeling

being bounced back and forth
between hope
and
hate
and wonder and worry and
trying to let it

slide

but it just catches

like your breath
after running away or crying hard

This album is just DM... but since then he's back to recording with DMB. He's always been around, his stuff just doesn't always make it to radio play.

For somebody who seems so much to dislike him, you must have listened to a great deal of his music quite a bit to deduce that they're all the same.

It doesn't take a good musical ear to notice that, like him or not, his songs hardly all sound the same.

Dave's got depth, you can't deny him that.
