Dave Matthews quotes about
I haven't really experienced as much of a loss of privacy as maybe it would seem from the outside,
Things are starting to turn into a windfall for us. We don't take these firsts for granted.
I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay.
In many instances, we are much better at fixing our mistakes after we've made them. In some situations, it is easier to sweep things under the rug and forget about them.
I always like to have an atlas just so that I can find things out. It's always good to have an almanac; those sort of things.
A dream is a massive magic trick of the mind. No amount of science could explain away the mysterious wonder.
We spend a lot of time bickering at great cost, and very little time actually coming up with solutions. And I think we misuse our ambition for our own gains and rarely for the betterment of ourselves, and people around us and our environment. And I think that's sort of pathetic and desperate.
Some might tell you there's no hope in hand Just because they feel hopeless But you don't have to be a thing like that You be a ship in a bottle set sail
We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace.
The melodies are always the most important part to me. I am pulled more to the groove than the chord progression. After you find the groove, you find the most simple chord progressions and then sit inside that groove.
Always walk where you like your steps.
Sometimes it's nice to be able to reflect on the music itself and then write lyrics that I feel anyone can relate to. It's not my dreaming tree that is dead. The feeling of a loss of hope is universal. There are moments that we've all felt a little bit of it, so I don't think it is something that is too hard to identify with.
If you live life, then you become what are.
I am who I am who I am who am I Requesting some enlightenment Could I have been anyone other than me?
