1.) It's NOT about God.
2.) It wasn't a driving accident that inspired this song.
3.) Excerpt from Some Devil CD- "One dead hot summer's day i was sitting with some of my friends and family by a great old leaf-covered box elder in my garden. We were wondering when it might finally give up and collapse under the weight of it's heavy, heavy limbs. And then, as if it was listening in on our conversation, it creaked, and cracked, and fell down right there infront of us. I'm glad no one was sleeping under it. It did however flatten my canoe." those are the exact words by Dave Matthews.
