Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews Lyrics

    ------ About the song The Space Between performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews

I listened to this song a blue-million times after losing a baby and felt like it was written for me and my husband and our baby that became "the space between" us; we couldn't talk about our loss, we just cried; drifted apart emotionally; and he pulled me back - as to say I couldn't quit him so quickly. He was my rock and we rallied after that loss and he still keeps me "safe from the pain". Many years later we had another child and the lost child is truly "the space between".

    ------ About the song Seek Up performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews

In my years of being a DMB listener never i had heard this song for x or y reason.
But it seems that their songs always find a way to find me when i need them most instead and this is a perfect example.
This song is simple deep and beautiful, it takes you from calm to a overcharge of emotions and feelings and then it lets you fall in its majestic crafted notes. It tackled my mood like if it knew how i was feeling.
It became an instant classic for my music collection.

Regards good music listeners.

Jerry.

    ------ About the song The Last Stop performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews

Wow, okay, first of all, I am a big fan of Dave Matthews and have been for years. Now, whether or not Dave is Christian(and seriously, go read the Bible and listen to his stuff. There are allusions to Christ EVERYWHERE and NOWHERE more so than THIS song. This song is about the hypocrisy of religious zealots. We learn from reading the Bible that whatever we do to someone we don't like, we do to Jesus("and there you are nailing good to a tree and then say forgive me). Go have a look at Matthew 25:31-46. Jesus didn't come to condemn the world but to save the world through Him(John 3:17), it worked. Yet MANY supposed Christians run around crucifying both non-believers and fellow Christians alike. The Bible also says that when we judge a brother or sister we murder them(James 2:1-13). God, our Father(the "Bartender") is LOVE. Pure, unconditional, impartial and constant LOVE. Our job as Christians is to EMULATE that love in the eyes of the world. WE are Christ's ambassadors to the world and LOVE is our job. And we all love in the same language so love NEVER looks like hate, it looks like love. So while "80 percent of Americans are Christian" only a fraction of us actually FOLLOW christ, which is the true definition OF Christian. Thinking Jesus is a nice idea OR a free ticket to treat people like shit is a complete and total reproach and such people who do such things are APOSTATES. Period. SO many wolves in sheeps clothing have gone out into the world that the world doesn't even know who God is anymore. You can't even say Jesus' name in public without somebody getting bent out of shape and feeling hated and that is NOT a fault on the person perceiving the hate but a fault on those who have misrepresented our Heavenly Father so severely that they actually think God hates them. So know this y'all, there is NOTHING you could EVER do or NOT do to make God love you more or less. YOU are His WORLD. He meticulously formed EVERY aspect of who you are and EVERY aspect of who you are OOZES with both purpose and meaning. You were MADE to be YOURSELF for the glory of God. You are not an accident and you are not forgotten or forsaken, you are forgiven and beloved. Both by ALL of God's sons and daughters(one of whom I am)AND BY God. He couldn't be happier with who you are. These idiots thinking God wants some holy war need to look up the word "oxymoron" in the dictionary because "fools are we that hate the gate to peace when this is the last stop." The Last Stop is about true heresy and the disgusting nature of it. Hate, violence and cruelty of ANY sort in the name of God is heresy in its most unholiest of forms and such people who behave in such ways will surely "go and die in a fire for their god" if they don't repent but their god is not our God. The devil loves to come as an angel of light and say "death to the infidels!" But meanwhile Jesus is saying, "You are my friends if you do what I command, my commandment to you is this: Love each other as I have loved you, greater love has no one than this: that he would lay down his life for his friends. Go and learn what this means, I desire mercy, not sacrifice or sacrificial victims." Tell the world. Seriously.

    ------ About the song The Last Stop performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews

This is a powerful protest against the bigotry and righteousness (assumed superiority) of the religious zealot, whatever their colour, whatever their belief. The faux arabic musical content suggest it is focused against the orthodox arabic cutures, whereas references to nailing good to a tree suggests an anti semetic stance ("good" equating to Christ and "blooded on the cross"). All things considered, it would seem that Dave is against organised religion of any sort, and most especially orthodox faithm dogma and hypocrisy. By the way, the spelling is English (as am I) and in case you wondered, I work for the DMB record label

    ------ About the song Stay or Leave performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews

There are some songs that just hit you, ya know? When my baby daughter signed up for a five year service with the Marines in February before she graduated high schiol I was in a state of numbness. Some days I was so proud of her decision, others, I was scared and empty inside. How would I get by without her. She was such a deep and constant part of my life? Well she has for the past three years loved Dave's music and I have too...it was a bond we shared. And for her high school graduation, I bought her two tickets to see the DMB in Cincinnatti so that she could take a friend. It was the perfect gift and she loved it! But how could I have known what she did would tear me up the most was to leave the song "Stay or Leave" cued up in my car so it would be the first thing I would hear when she left for boot camp. I cried and cried! But now when I listen to it, even though she still isnt back from boot camp yet, it brings be comfort. Dave, your music is a bond between a new young Marine and her Momma. I just wanted you to know that. ;)

    ------ About the song Don't Drink the Water performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews

The song fits your description very well but the Native American ideas listed below are actually correct. Dave discussed his inspiration for the song on VH1 storytellers and confirmed that it was based on the loss of the Native American culture and way of life.

The video can be found on youtube if needed.

    ------ About the song Don't Drink the Water performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews

Friends, you all have nice opinions about this song and our native americans, but this song is really about the occupation of Israel in Palestine's lands ("no room for both, just room for me"). That's why he sings a gibberish like an arab (palestine) chant. "Lay your arms down" is what told United Nations to Palestine. When he say "you were banished" and "your land is gone and given to me", that's just what happened, so Israel the "new neighbor","will call it home". Heaven is the "promise land".

    ------ About the song The Space Between performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews

For me this song is so very very clear--
Its not a song about forbidden love-- its actually the opposite
The song set up is that two soul mates have experienced an event which has caused one of them to withdraw (probably one cheated on the other)
The space between refers to what was created when the other found out and where now the singer lives in limbo
The space between refers to what he has left despite his love for her
He watches the rain coming down the window like sadness- her eyes show the pain of his lies
Wicked lies
When one soul mate finds that the other cheated, craziness ensues-- here devil in a crowded room- ship going down etc.
And the only thing he can do is wait...with love

    ------ About the song Stolen Away On 55th & 3rd performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews

I'm pretty young: almost 22. It's been just over a year and a half since the first girl I ever loved broke up with me. My heart yearns for her to be in my life again, but I feel that this longing will never be fulfilled. This song is everything I want; it is my fantasy. I want her to take me right back again. I want her to steal me away, one more time.
