| Dave Matthews – Baby Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I don't know the exact quote, but Jimmy Buffett once said something along the lines of "If you don't write at least one song about your daughter, you WILL go to hell." (in regards to "Little Miss Magic") | |
| Dave Matthews Band – Some Devil Lyrics | 19 years ago |

So odd. I had always seen this as one of the ultimate "break up songs" ever, but when some one mentioned the idea it could be about someone greiving about their partner's death - so much more powerful and I don't think I can see it any other way now. You said always and forever Now I believe you baby You said always and forever Is such a long and lonely time" I'm getting goosebumps with the revelation. |

| Dave Matthews Band – #41 Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Glad I discovered this site. We saw an much earlier poster (two years earlier?) point out what Dave had said it meant in a book or an interview and I definately find it interesting as to what it actually means, but as I've gone though these posts, it's even more interesting reading what the posters/fans have said what it means to THEM, which seems to be what this site is about. FYI - water - wet, wheels - round - sand - oh so so tiny but such a pain to get out of your carpet. #41 is one of my favourite songs of all time, and while there isn't a version I don't like, it didn't hit me until I heard it on the Live at Luther College disc. To me, the sound of an accoustic guitar is one of the most pure sounds there is (are?), and when you're listening to a band as talented as this one with as many wonderful and wonderfully intricate things going on at once, it can take the focus away from the lyrics some times. For me, this song is a conversation about coming to terms with second chances. There have been a few times in my life where "fate" has put me back in touch with a few situations where something positive should have happened the first time, but when the second chance was offered, one of us wasn't ready to go through the same thing again, despite the near pleaing of the other. To me, it's also about hope, and without that, there's not much left to go on. Even though the ending doesn't paint the most optimistic picture, I still feel better every time I hear the piece. On the Live at Luthor College, with the "out-tro", I can almost see our hero leaving the unsucessful conversation, walking down the street, shaking his head, but realising he did everything he could and he's going to learn from it. |
