Upon his arrival in New York in 1998, Gavin DeGraw was anointed by Time Out magazine as of one the city’s best-kept musical secrets. Today, DeGraw is no longer a mystery to the masses, as Chariot, his J Records debut album, reveals to the world a compelling young musician whose wholesome disposition and honest lyrics equate with success. At 25, DeGraw exudes a charismatic presence, performing at such venues as New York’s Irving Plaza, Joe’s Pub and Wilson’s. Accompanying himself on piano and guitar, DeGraw sings soulfully about life’s love and heartache. DeGraw grew up in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, inspired musically by his parents. While spending his teenage years performing in various cover bands (at the urging of his older brother), DeGraw attempted hi More...

Dance is something I am extremely passionate about and it's songs like this that just move you to dance with that inner fire, to dance from the inside out. The message behind it could be taken as spiritual and I love that. Thank you Gavin for the great song! next to me. | Reviewer: shelbystaygold ------ About the song Next to Me performed by Gavin DeGraw Next To Me This song is about trying to get someone that doesn’t want to give you a chance. You feel they want you, but they play it off. They don’t notice how much you want them. When you call, they are a stone…meaning they aren’t saying much and seem totally uninterested. You tell yourself if they are like again you won’t be using their number again. You think you have given yourself false hope, so you have a drink to calm you down & help you think. It doesn’t help, you get anxious and start shaking. You want this person to wait a minute, cause you are not theirs yet. You just want a chance to be with them, but they won’t even get next to you. You want them to tell you what they won’t. You think they will eventually give in somehow. You got the things they need, but they still won’t get next to you. You explain once you get them in your arms you don’t want them to pull away like they have been doing. You want them to stop acting like they don’t want you – you know they don’t want anyone else. You have so much potential, but they just run off. Your heart is in your hands you are offering it to them. You just want them to let you in. you are growing impatient. Meaning. | Reviewer: shelbystaygold ------ About the song Meaning performed by Gavin DeGraw I think this song is about life and what makes the world go around - love. I think it’s about people that are always worried about things in life that don’t matter. People being stressed unable to think…people just hoping to go to bed and wake up in some peace. Love has reason…it wasn’t an emotion put on this earth for nothing. This song could also be referring to love as a symbol of god.(“God is Love”) The world has a meaning…it is here for a reason - we are making the world go around by spreading love. Gavin talks about how our everyday situations are similar to candle light…it is enough to see what you can, but it isn’t very bright. This is saying that a lot of the time we take what we see and judge with out really seeing the whole picture. We think back to things that we’ve done…things we regret. As we get older we see the truth. It is good to learn from your mistakes, but it only works in youth meaning…we can’t make mistakes and not learn from them because when we get older they will hurt us a lot more…and have bigger consequences. “Restless minds; curtain calls follow fanfares.” This means that love can be here and gone as fast as a play begins and ends. “Troubled hearts; just a walk down the hall.” It’s easy to take a walk down a hall. It’s also very easy to get hurt. “Restless hearts; you take a punch just to land one.” Even if you try really hard, sometimes it’s just not enough.”Troubled minds; it’s only fair after all.” Just accept it and move on. New love will come. He always talks about how we have to just jump & go after things - to take risks. & if it does wrong and you end up falling on your face…you get up. It’s nothing you can’t shake off. just friends. | Reviewer: shelbystaygold ------ About the song Just Friends performed by Gavin DeGraw Just Friends I think this song is about coming across someone you fall for. You aren’t in a relationship with them, but they have your heart. You think you have theirs too. One night you see them with another person - acting so in love – all over each other! I am assuming in the past he asked her about this guy. She told him they were just friends, but after seeing that he knows better. He is hurt but cares about this person so much he forgives them for what they have done to him. If she says that he is only one she wants. He tells how he has other options of people to date, but all he wants is her & thought she felt the same about him. She gives him so much love. He explains how it is not like himself to let out all his feelings straight forwardly, but she doesn’t leave him with a choice – he is so hurt. All he can do is yell that he trusted her. I hope I never end up in this sitch. I hope to find someone that will be faithful to me. in loveee. | Reviewer: shelbystaygold ------ About the song In Love with a Girl performed by Gavin DeGraw In Love With A Girl Gavin starts off by saying how so many people will tell you what you want, to get you think they really care about you. He explains that, that can’t compare to actually having someone there. He doesn’t let anyone put him down because of who he is with, and she doesn’t let anyone put him down either - she is there to defend him. Gavin’s tell you to take the pain of hearing the negative things, and shaking them off. He is in love with a girl that loved them better than any other woman. He fell for her immediately. He probably went through some though relationships, and was bitter, but took his time to find someone right. She understands, and treats him right. I think he has went through a lot of relationship and was happy for awhile, but then the moment quickly gets lost. This person tells how they feel, and probably complain about his flaws – they are tactless. So the relationship ends. He has finally found someone he wants to be with though…and he knows his heart won’t forget this love, no matter what happens. i have you to think. | Reviewer: shelbystaygold ------ About the song I Have You to Thank performed by Gavin DeGraw I Have You To Thank This song is about finding someone that really makes you happy. You see them and you’re really happy. You see them and your heart skips a beat. When you are with them you don’t want them to go. You want them to stay with you, forever. They smile and you are overwhelmed with happiness. You thank them for making you hard to please because they have treated you so good that no one else could compare & you wouldn’t want to settle to for less after finding this person. You never want to break up with this person. You feel a difference in you heart. You know you really love this person. You think this is a perfect beginning of a new love. You let your new lover know straight up that you’re not perfect at loving all the time. You have made past mistakes, but are trying not to make them again. When you let this person in you begin to win their love and now you are just feeling like you’ve gotten gold. dreamz. | Reviewer: shelbystaygold ------ About the song Dreams performed by Gavin DeGraw unday, 28 June 2009 * Review of Gav's Songs Meaning by Gavin DeGraw I think this song is about life and what makes the world go around - love.

It doesn’t change your feelings though.You don’t consider yourself a loser because you are not giving in. He thinks about how to try again. he wants to tell her how he feels and not hold back anything. He wants to tell her he is not afraid of that people think…and she might feel the same, but she has to try it to find out. He really feels he has to take another chance. she makes him crazy, she has him very anxious, and all over the place. She damaged his soul…and threw him off track but he gets better in time…she does too. This means the rejection hurts him and how he is trying to get It together. He think he gets better because he learns more about her after every blow. Maybe she learns something about herself after every time she turns him down. eventually she will get over being afraid of what others think. or he will move on. I Have You To Thank This song is about finding someone that really makes you happy. You see them and you’re really happy. You see them and your heart skips a beat. When you are with them you don’t want them to go. You want them to stay with you, forever. They smile and you are overwhelmed with happiness. You thank them for making you hard to please because they have treated you so good that no one else could compare & you wouldn’t want to settle to for less after finding this person.

When you let this person in you begin to win their love and now you are just feeling like you’ve gotten gold. Next To Me This song is about trying to get someone that doesn’t want to give you a chance. You feel they want you, but they play it off. They don’t notice how much you want them.

You have so much potential, but they just run off. Your heart is in your hands you are offering it to them. You just want them to let you in. you are growing impatient. Belief I think this song is about being able to believe in someone and know that they will be there to defend you. If you believe that they are there you feel a lot better and assured. One night this person surprises you so much by coming to your defense in some sitch. You compare their mouth to a knife meaning they were telling off the person that hurt you. They showed a wrath like a god. They stood by you. Your belief in this person was not an instant thing. It built from scratch. This belief is really something special to you and you want everyone to know you have someone by your side. You want to this person to know how much them sticking up for you meant. Telling the world is the least you can do. I feel this way about my best friend. He is always there and he really amazes me when he there to help me get through all my tough times. Dreams I think this song is about wanting to be with someone all the time, but you can’t. You spend all your money on phone cards, just to hear their voice when they are away. You want to come home so you can see them. You don’t believe in luck, and you have done everything to keep this person in contact with you…you want to get closer still. You have dreams that include them loving them. You feel them when they are here with you, and when they are away as well. You will do anything to see them anywhere, but until that happens you can just be with them in you dreams. You think about all the crazy stuff you two did, it makes you realize that those memories will always be there. You might not be able to get to them realistically, but you can be there in your dreams. You will share your dreams with them when you see them again. You hope and pray you will see them soon, but until then you have your dreams. This song really touches me. I long to find someone that I feel this way about, and hope they would feel the same about me. Gavin’s songs make me want to experience real love. <3 crush. | Reviewer: shelbystaygold ------ About the song Crush performed by Gavin DeGraw Crush by Gavin DeGraw This song is about liking someone a lot.

He is always there and he really amazes me when he there to help me get through all my tough times. nice to meet you anyway | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Nice To Meet You Anyway performed by Gavin DeGraw This song to me is about a situation most people on the road face. It's about being away from the one that you love and you stumble upon someone that is really someone you could see yourself being with, but you remember that you are in a relationship and have to walk away from this person. You don't want to get to close them cuz the fear of really falling for them. You tell them how you feel, how great you think they are...but tell them you don't have time. You start thinking about your true love back home and apologize to this person for seeming unsure of what you want. You tell them how your life just took a change because you have just found someone special. Before things go to far you tell them how amazing they are, how attracted you are to them, and how you are also very distracted. You walk away before you change you're mind, and hopes that this person understands what you mean. I think a lot of bands/singers deal with this on the road. They probably get lonely a lot and stumble upon someone they think is really great. They probably end up flirting around them, but stop at the thought of the one they have back home. I think Gavin was in this sitch, and had a hard time walking away from this person. i dont want to be | Reviewer: shelbystaygold ------ About the song I Don't Wanna Be performed by Gavin DeGraw This is one of gav's songs i can really relate to the most. It is saying how you don't have to be anything other than yourself. he does not have to be something extraordinary. and how you can't get anywhere without knowing where you're coming from. he knows he is a good person, so when he thinks of himself he has peace of mind. he is tired of seeing lairs, imposers, and identity crisis. He has noticed this and hopes he isn't the only one that has learned to just be himself. he is not going to try fit into the crowd like ALOT of kids these day. He talks about how he hasn't always knew who is was, but now he sure...of what he is and what he is not. He just wants to let everyone know he has found himself. I think the message is great because looking around, alot of people do not know themselves. how do you expect people to understand you when you don't even understand yourself, or know who you are? i think gavin is saying people that don't know who they are don't bother him anymore because he knows himself...so there is nothing he should worry about. Chariot | Reviewer: shelbystaygold ------ About the song Chariot performed by Gavin DeGraw i think this song is about losing touch with nature, and taking advantage of what we have ( "...Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries & seedless watermelon") That says it all. It's like we can't just have the natural fruit we should already be grateful for. I think gavin begins to look at what's around him. He talks about the chariot walking down on the face of the earth and it's golden waves. When asks he the chariot to guide him, i think of "swing low, sweet chariot", which is a spiritual song where the chariot is the vehicle to heaven. I think he wants the strength to not let material things get in his way. He doesn't want to gain the world, and lose his soul. He start's referring to nature...the moon, rain, when the sun was just yellow energy & not used for solar energy and such unnecessary things. He wants that to be brought back, he want it to be more than a memory. He talks about the promise land, and how it is real even though we can't see it. The chariot will be his vacation away from this place that has turned into nothing like it used to be & how he wishes it was. He just wants to fly away. Why Do The Men Stray by Gavin DeGraw | Reviewer: shelbystaygoldcsws ------ About the song Why Do Men Stray performed by Gavin DeGraw Why Do The Men Stray by Gavin DeGraw. This song is off of Gavin DeGraw’s newest album “Free”. I think this song is about war. Not a specific war, just war. Not war in U.S. – war anywhere. Usually, when a war Is started men leave their homes leaving their families very upset. This song mentions the men straying, and the women praying. The men stray into the war, while the women are probably praying for a safe return. The men are now fighting in this war. The women are sympathizing, probably because they can imagine all the horrors of war. Gavin is probably saying that before he really looked at what was going on it was easy to not see war does to people. Maybe in realizing this and the massive amounts of blood that was probably lost in this war. His heart turned to stone. Then he reflects on the loved ones, especially the wives, and realizes no one was ever meant to me alone. Gavin thinks about all the bomb booming, and as the war spreads, he thinks of all the living room we are running out of . Families probably feel the need to see or touch their loved ones. Moms are probably telling the children lies so they won’t worry. Then the day comes when the news is everywhere, and it can no longer be hidden. Gavin is probably thinking about the old men that could not join the war or the ones that could not perform very well because of their age, and realizes how much of the youth is being dissolved due to this war. He is saying in the end, war is pointless. We are just hurting each other, and bringing this depression on ourselves. We have to learn to that violence is not the answer. “Someday there will be nothing left to burn…” That is so true. Why waste all this time fighting with others. Just sit down and talk it out. Fighting is so uncalled for. If this world would just strive to make peace, maybe this place would be a better place to live. If all this war continues…one day we really won’t be here. I think this is what Gavin is saying, just my opinion. It’s a great song, and you all should listen. If you like the album just buy it or something. It won’t be a waste. Every song has a meaning. So, give him a listen. You won’t regret it. Mts To Move by Gavin DeGraw | Reviewer: shelbystaygoldcsws ------ About the song Mountains To Move performed by Gavin DeGraw I think this song it about going out into the real world. when we leave our parents home to go to college or wherever we plan to go in our life. It’s about being hesitant to face the real world. You have bags packed, and your parents can’t shelter you anymore..they urge you to go because you really need to. you don’t know what all is out there and you are scared. The song is saying how you’d guess you’ve won. Making you think about all the times you wanted to get out of your house & be the grown up that you are becoming. “…Goodbye again”, you are having a harder time leaving your home. Harder than you thought when you were a hard headed teenager. Your parents spread the news…telling everyone you are going off now. The song tells you not to forget your shoes because it will be a long walk. & That you know what you could lose - meaning that you probably are going off to meet big expectations that might not work out. You will have mountains to move which means you will have some hard obstacles. Maybe you are going out in the world trying to make someone proud. The song says you can’t meet the mark of all your saints. That is so true because sometimes people have expectations that are not realistic. They aim for something high, and you’re just trying to keep things simple. He mentions how things are hard and that they are going to get harder. I think he might be refering to recession…because to get anything big accpompished these days it will call for more and more money - which you probably don’t have. “Good luck out there getting what you think you are headed for…” That is saying that it will be hard to get what you want, and things might not go as planned. The song goes into saying how before you were in the real world you had no fears. & would do anything…there was nothing you wouldn’t do. But now you see that the world you saw before you were acutally in the real world is nothing like it. You aren’t as daring now…because now your actions have bigger punishments. Life can’t be a game anymore. It is somewhat sad, but how it is. one day you have to grow up. This song is the perfect to listen to if you are going away for awhile to find something or fufill a dream, or some expectation everyone thinks is crazy…or even if you are starting to grow up. This song tells you it will be hard, but gives you hope at same time. Check out this amazin’ song by the one and only Gavin DeGraw.
