Dave Matthews quotes about
Digging a ditch where madness gives a bit Digging a ditch where silence lives Digging a ditch for when I'm old Digging this ditch my story's told Where all these troubles weigh down on me will rise ..... Where all these questions spinning round my head will die
You and me have a better time than most can dream of, better than the best.
I go back to South Africa at least once a year, sometimes twice, and usually for a month. And probably, I'm guessing, I'll spend more time back there as I get older.
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
My reaction to Radiohead isn't as simple as jealousy. Jealousy just burns; Radiohead infuriate me. But if it were only that, I wouldn't go back and listen to those records again and again. Listening to Radiohead makes me fell like I'm a Salieri to their Mozart. Yorke's lyrics make me want to give up. I could never in my wildest dreams find something as beautiful as they find for a single song - let alone album after album.
Well, I've been in a few car wrecks.
What in the world would I sing for if I had it all?
I say my hell is the closet I'm stuck inside.
Six senses keeping Five around a sense of self
I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.
I never went to college - I barely got out of high school.
In your eyes, I see what's on my mind.
I don't think socialism, and I don't think warmness and respect are necessarily bad words.
Lying under this spell you cast on me Each moment The more I love you.
