![]() Away From The World (2012) [ larger cover art ] |
Don't give up
I know you can see
All the world and the mess that were making
Can't give up
And hope God will intercede
Come on back
Imagine that we could get it together
Stand up for what we need to be
Cause crying won't save or feed a hungry child
Can't lay down and wait for a miracle to change things
So lift up your eyes
Lift up your heart
Singing mercy will we overcome this
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need
Me and you and you and you
Just want to be free yeah
But you see all the world is just as we've made it
And until we got a new world
I Got to say that love is not a whisper or a weakness
No love is strong
So we got to get together yeah
Gotta get gotta get gotta get
Til there is no reason
To fight
Mercy will we overcome this
Yeah one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need
Yeah
Ah
Oh
Yeah
Mercy will we overcome this
Oh we come to far to turn it around
Oh and asked too much to be a little bit stronger
Cause I want to give you what you need
Mercy what will become of us
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need

| ppopp (Southern California) | Posted: Aug 20, 2012 - 19:19 It was going so well with the music tonight...and then DMB came along and made a radish out of the whole thing. Oh well - the next song will sound like musical bliss by comparison. My god he's vanilla. I'm guessing Consumer Reports recommend his music, along with Phil Collins and Sting. |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Aug 19, 2012 - 06:16 Used to love DMB until Dave went through the 12 step, now he is so preachy. |
| ppopp (Southern California) | Posted: Aug 11, 2012 - 07:57 I don't usually feel compelled to want to switch off RP, but DMB just came on. *Mute* |
| Talula (Connecticut) | Posted: Aug 11, 2012 - 07:34 Love it. Thank you RP! This is the first time I've heard DMB on here. A little more wouldn't hurt. Just a little :) |
| misterbearbaby (Marina del Rey, California) | Posted: Aug 09, 2012 - 15:43 Just when I think my musical epoch has ended (and music is nothing but 20-year girls old whining in Icelandic about ponies in dreams), out comes something this great and I feel its all still happening. It? All? ...Rock-n-roll I mean. |

I am told by reliable sources that this album will compare favorably to the other Steve Lillywhite produced DMB albums. Can't wait to hear more songs from the new album (out 9/11/12). Awesome, I am excited! The more I hear "Mercy", the more excited I am, that the new album may just possibly take us back to Dave's older stuff... yay! |

| btc | Posted: Jul 14, 2012 - 17:43 Mitch Mitchel with Hendrix at his near best on drums here. Who is the better? Watts with the Stones or Mitchell? Depends on the context.......tip |

| jimbaca (The Space-Time Continuum) | Posted: Jul 07, 2012 - 10:45 The pre-release buzz about DMB's next album is positive for the most part. You can hear the Lillywhite influence on this song. |

| jhorton (Trailer Park on Cape Cod) | Posted: Jul 02, 2012 - 20:02 Too bad there's not a button to mute out the negative comments about this very talented man! |
| AustinBob | Posted: Jun 29, 2012 - 09:47 Just my opinion, but I find Dave Matthews to be almost as irritating as Counting Crows (but not quite). |
| soulcollision (Vancouver, BC) | Posted: Jun 29, 2012 - 09:35 How did I not know they had a new album!? I really hope it doesn't disappoint... the last few albums don't even hold a candle to Dave's earlier stuff. Here's to hoping for something similar to the early DMB sound, which I dearly love. |

| dougmbrown (Denver) | Posted: Jun 29, 2012 - 09:34 Surely would like to hear more DMB on RP. Not sure how much this new song (Mercy) measures up to the great history of tracks, but appreciate hearing it. |
| tirednotion (Hi-Fi) | Posted: Jun 28, 2012 - 15:21 They have had this in heavy rotation on tour this summer, such a pretty song:) This studio version is sounding mighty fine as well! |
