Halloween is on my top 3 list of favorite Dave Matthews songs. Many people ride off this song as Dave trying to scream into a microphone about a past bitch girlfriend that would not commit, but in all reality that is not the case. I am sure that it is possible that the event of Dave being rejected by his G.F. inspired him to write about the theme of love rejection. What people tend to not realize is that this song means a lot to The Dave Matthews Band because it is not just the lyrics that are overly dramatic but as well as the instruments that are involved as well. Dave and his band members came together and made a song of pure adrenalin and extreme passion. An exuberant and haunting sound is given off through Dave's cold lyrics and the piercing but yet comforting notes that are played on the violin as well as the guitar. Of course the saxaphone brings together the amazing equilibrium that is created through The Dave Mathews Band. Halloween is indeed a hard and or thrashy type song if you compare it to such work as Crash or Under the Table, but BEFORE THESE CROWDED STREETS happens to be a cd that is full of rough emotions poured over 12 tracks. For example Sad as Stone, Dont Drink the Water, and my absolute favorite THE STONE. People need to praise Dave's ability to be so diverse in his music abilities rather than riding off Halloween as The Dave Matthews Band's attempt to create rough music about a dumb girlfriend that is now I am sure regretting not giving Dave the chance that he so well deserved.
