Dave Matthews quotes about
When I step into the light My arms are open wide When I step into the light My eyes searching wildly
Keep it locked up inside Don't talk about it Talk about the weather Can't see the light
I guess, and it may be a flaw, that I think about rhythm more [than anything else]. I'm always wanting to find something unusual. I've started to try and write more traditionally, but for whatever reason, I tend toward trying to find something that sounds more like a pattern to me.
The moon is quite a show off given the chance. The stars make a sound when they shine so bright. Water so blue and so black.
Are you looking for answers, to questions under the stars? If along the way you are growing weary, You can rest with me until a brighter day It's okay
I'm a very vicious critic of myself.
I was regularly advised not to go into music, that I should give up that foolish dream.
Success turns a lot of people off. I have a pretty solid sense of joy and respect that irritates people, and can irritate me, too.
It's funny, I get a little quieter with time. I don't want to chase my tail and one day repeat myself and repeat myself and one day have kids going to college and not have memories that I should, because I was too busy doing my thing.
...Oh, man, oh how I wish I didn't smoke or drink to reason with my head...
Don't convince yourself you're over, don't convince yourself you're done, just because the things around you seem heavy, doesn't mean you can't get off this ground.
I'm only this far, and only tomorrow leads my way.
If you've got a question just get in line 'Cause my intentions are to make you mine I'll take care of everything All you need, friend, is right here ..... And if you're lost I will find your way Give me your soul, friend, it's okay
I've always been obsessed by visual art as I have been by music personally, but that doesn't mean anything professionally.
