| The Jimi Hendrix Experience – 1983 ... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I went to the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame and saw the lyrics to this song, written on hotel stationary. The first draft of the song in its orignal form written by the man himself. Very, very awesome. The concept of 1984 and nuclear holocaust, that's pretty interesting, and I agree with those statements. But to see the song in its first original form, handwritten by Jimi himself? You can't beat that, by a longshot. | |
| The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Little Wing Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This is a very beautiful song by Jimi. It's one of my favorites, and I love the riff at the beginning. I went to the RNR Hall of Fame and they had a huge exhibit on Jimi. It had some of the papers that he had actually written lyrics on and alot of his tour clothes. Jimi's music is timeless, and the standard he set on guitar can never be duplicated. It can be emulated, but never duplicated or copied. Jimi was a man of his own. | |

| Blues had a baby and its name was Rock n' Roll! | |

| Jimi is a guitar GOD! | |
| Britney Spears – Everytime Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I could give a rat's behind about the video, the song's just plain good. I was never that into Britney until I heard this song. It's very compelling and sounds very beautiful. I got hypnotized the first time I heard on the radio and just couldn't turn it off. It's very good. On another note, wtf's a kaballah bracelet and how in the hell does that have to do with Madonna? I'm not in tune to the whole Madonna reference thing, so fill me in here. But all in all, the song was well written and well performed. Very beautiful, indeed. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Where Are You Going (Busted Stuff version) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I just mentioned band names because alotta people are under the suspicion that most dave fans listen only listen to Dave and nothing else. They also think that we think Dave Matthews and dmb is the greatest thing on God's green earth. When we do, however, actually have other interests besides dave. That's why I mentioned some of the bands that I listen to. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Where Are You Going (Busted Stuff version) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Frankly, I'm going to be a loyal fan to dmb. I could give a flying fuck on who thinks they sold out or whatever. Bitch all you want at me, my idea's aren't gonna change. When Dave starts trying to be a gangsta rapper or dmb ditches their instruments to be a boy band, then I'll be worried about them "selling out." But to be frank, I could give a shit who thinks what. I like other bands besides dmb too, like thursday, Led Zeppelin, Joe Satriani (solo artist), The Allman Brothers, Staind, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Hendrix, Deftones, Glassjaw, Reveille, Pearl Jam, Blues Traveler, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, and The Clarks to name a few. If you wanna mention any band that really sucks and possibly "sold out" look no further than Limp Bizkit. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Seek Up Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| To keep it short and sweet: I just love this song, it's one of my faves next to crash. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Dreams of Our Fathers Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I myself think Dave's transition to the electric was rather neat. Just to hear how innovative he was on the acoustic, then translate it over to the electric was amazing. Now everybody thinks DMB has gone to shit because of that, but I don't think so. Carter made a statement about Everyday which I might paraphrase on. But he said, "Just because we've decided to try something new, doesn't mean we're not the Dave Matthews Band anymore. We're still going to be dmb and that's not going to change." He said something to that effect anyway. I'm not keen on the fact though that Glen Ballard and Dave wrote most of the music without getting input from the band. But it was different, and good. It also brought many people who hadn't heard Dave previously to appreciate his music. I've seen a few people get into Everyday, and that being the first time they've ever really heard dave, go back and listen to the earlier grassroots stuff. Then they'd really really dig it. It increased the fan base, and reached more people that could connect with their music. That is a good thing, and nowhere near a shame in my opinion. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Big Eyed Fish Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I can't argue with some of the comments made here. They're all pretty much dead on in my opinion. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – #34 Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Oh yeah and Gena's right as well. The song's were given the number that it corresponded with (34 was the thirty fourth song). This was done when Dave and the band were all stumped on what to name it. They asked Fenton, and if he couldn't think of one, this was the result. Dave also asks his sound guy for assistance in naming songs. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – #34 Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Drummer again I reiterate the fact, research research research! I myself am under the premise that #34 was written for Anne. But it's open to interpretation, but I'm not going to press my belief on what the song's about on others. You are right that the album was dedicated to Anne, but not every song on it has to do with her! Your under the idea that since the album's dedicated to Anne, that every song listed on the album is about Anne. Sorry my friend, but you are sadly mistaken. So I say to you in all friendlieness, RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH! | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Typical Situation Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
"Prayer in the Pentagon", by Robert Dederick. Traumatizing is right, there is really no other interpretation that I know of. If you check the origin of this song on other sites, they'll all say the same thing. Which is that Typical Situation was inspired from Dederick's "Prayer For The Pentagon." If anybody owns a copy of "Dave Matthews: Music For The People," the same statement is made in that book. So Typical Situation did come from "Prayer For The Pentagon," which is the right judgment. Thinking that Typical Situation came from the death of Dave's sister Anne is an absurd statement, but it was backed up anyway. I can give drummer that, but the fact that every song on UTTAD is about Anne? No way, that's not true at all. I'm not bashing you man, just letting you know, do a little research first. However, #34 is supposed to be a song written for Anne. It has lyrics too, you can find the version with words on kazaa or any other mp3 downloading engine. |

| Dave Matthews Band – Weight of the World Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| The way it's ended with Woody Guthrie's This Land Is Your Land, is very eerie. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Tripping Billies Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Actually I think "Eat, drink, and be merry. For tomorrow we die," came from Epicurus. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Bartender Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Well that's what I know anyway, and I've heard alot that he is a confessed agnostic. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Bartender Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Dave contrary to popular belief and what his songs may allude to is not a Christian. He was raised in a Quaker home as a kid, but now he is an admitted agnostic. He questions faith and God constantly in some of his songs. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Crash Into Me Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Oh yeah, in response to a post made over a year ago by somebody with the sn silhouette. First of all, dmb is my favorite band, however there are others my list of favorites. I do listen to the beatles, and one of my favorite songs is "Hey Jude" which was one of their last big hits before they seperated. I think the whole "Paul is dead" thing was really intriguing, especially with the whole "Abbey Road" conspiracy. As we all know, Paul isn't dead. My favorite jazz musician, who is often considered overrated, is "The Satch" Louis Armstrong. I like Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie as well. Dizzy could wail on a trumpet hardcore. Duke Ellington, is my favorite Jazz Composer. I also enjoy many blues artists like B.B. King, Robert Lockwood Jr., Lightning Hopkins Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Son House, Sonny Boy Williamson, Blind Willie Johnson, and Robert Johnson (who I think along with many others is the greatest Blues musician's ever, and the godfather of all forms of Blues music as we know it) to name a few. I also have an exhaustive list of other musicians I listen to, like Skynyrd, Neil Young, Bread, Carlie Simon, The Allman Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix, The Stones, Janis Joplin, and Led Zeppelin. So to say that some dmb fans have not listened to any music before 1990, and are not musically cultured is an absurd statement. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – The Best of What's Around Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This song makes me think of last summer before I went to college. Just having a good time with your friends, and being with the best people life could ever give you. The line from that song that's been quoted over and over "Turns out not where, but who you're with that really matters," that line has almost become my life's philosophy. It's a great reflection of optimism in life. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Crash Into Me Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| On VH1 Storytellers with Tim Reynolds, I forgot to add. That's what I was referring to. | |

| Dave Matthews Band – Crash Into Me Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Regardless of other comments, in my opinion this song is perhaps one of the most beautiful dave love songs I've ever heard. It's great for a slow dance too, my gf melts when I sing it to her while we're dancing. Give frigger a break here people, somebody had to have at least one particular person that they loved who never made them feel the same way again. On another note, Dave's explaination about Crash before he plays it is hilarious. The whole peeping tom thing and stuff, it made me laugh anyway. Don't know about yall. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Halloween Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| He finally did get married though, to another girl that loves him way more I bet. I forget her name, but I think they had been dating for almost 8 years before they finally got hitched. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Joy Ride Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I love to listen to Dave bust out the scat. He's really damn good at it and busts it out like a mad man. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Raven Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| that's because this is the Lillywhite Sessions version | |
| Dave Matthews Band – The Last Stop Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I used to think that "The Last Stop" was a reference to Exodus in which the Pharoah ordered all these infants to be slaughtered. Hence the verse "Must my babies bones this hungry fire feed." The fire referring to the Egyptian Kingdom. But the more I listen to the song and read the lyrics, I realize that my belief still leaves the song open for interpretation. There's deeper meaning in the song than what I first expected. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Warehouse Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| According to "Dave Matthews: Music For The People" Warehouse bares alot of reference to the infamous pink warehouse in Charlottesville. It is said that Dave went there alot to be alone, to read, write songs, and to think quietly. It is believed by some, and me in particular, that Warehouse is based on some of the experiences and thoughts that Dave had experienced while visiting the warehouse to spend some time alone with himself. | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Too Much Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| First of all, the first verse of Too Much is not alluding to sodomy. Too Much according to Dave is about being overly self-indulgent. Drinking, eating, and wanting everything. The whole song is a reference to the materialistic values of society and how we constantly take and take and take, and are still never satisfied. I have a bootleg of Dave's solo act at Farm Aid at the Post Gazette Pavilion, where he changes the lyrics somewhat. Which makes the song allude to corporate farming and the mindless tearing up of the land. But it can be represented in the song without changing the words. The message is clear and simple. To think it has to do with butt-sex, is taking way Way WAY out of context and trying to find some deeper meaning. Accept it at face value, it says what it says, and what it is intended to say. | |
