The Dave Matthews Band formed in Charlottesville, Virginia,
in early 1991, when vocalist/guitarist Dave Matthews
decided to put some songs he had written on tape. Instead
of simply recording himself with a guitar, he opted to
bring in some instrumental help to give his musical ideas
more depth. Dave found assistance in drummer Carter
Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who were both
accomplished jazz musicians in the local Charlottesville
music scene. Based on the recommendation of distinguished
local jazz guru John D’earth, 16-year-old musical prodigy
Stefan Lessard came on board to play bass. Completing the
band was keyboard player Peter Griesar, who left the band
after a couple of years, as well as the talented and
classically trained violinist, Boyd Tinsley. More...

------ About the song Don't Drink the Water performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
To me, 'Don't Drink the Water' represents 'cleansing' your house of all bad spirits from the past...for me, it really struck hard because he mentioned the father's spirit...my father abused me tremendously and because of that I have had to learn how to 'rid' his spirit from my soul and from my marriage and from my life. So, it's about telling all the abusers that they can go...well...you know where and stay there!!!!!!

------ About the song Sister performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
I'm going through a tough time right now. My brother who is five years younger is away at school. We are super close so it's hard for us both. One day I got an email from him that said 'was just thinking about u, thought u might like this' and th attachment was this song. I cried through the whole thing. After I listened to it over and over I sent him a text tellin him I could put it on repeat and he said 'i do all the time'. In the simple sentnce I knew he was missing me as much as I do him.

------ About the song Grey Street performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
I'm a senior in high school, and Dave has saved me from going down the wrong path so many times. He makes me cry when needed but smile when I listen. He has saved my soul, and I am obsessed. Dave Matthews, thank you for being created-you helped me become who I am.
I am sitting here writing a paper about Dave Matthew's and the themes in his music, and I find myself unable to put his music into words. I feel like i should just turn in his C.D. and let everyone hear the music, because his music is just so complex and amazing that I can't describe it it a paper.

------ About the song Grace is Gone performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
This song is simply is, as simply put. Dave would not try to confuse his listeners and lovers with hyperboles and such. Take it as you will, but this man has loved and lost...and we can all very much so relate. Get high or drunk or be plain old sober. It is what it is, a beautiful true hearted song.

------ About the song #41 performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
This is my favorite song in the world. I play this all the time. I sit back close my eyes and I'm in a different place. Sometimes a few tears come out. I love this sing. P.s Carter Beauford is a beast on those drums.

------ About the song The Space Between performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
I think its about two people that have broken up and are still in love. However, they need time to figure out what it is they really want. Well at least one of them needs time to figure things out. The person singing the song is willing to wait forever for that person to finally realize that they are meant for each other. Since one of them already knows, they constantly fight about what happened and how things are know after they had broken up.

------ About the song Oh performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
Even though this may have been written about his grandfather, my first though was that he wrote it about his sister. However, that detail isn't important to the song. The song inspires me today, and makes love seem all the more prevalent in the modern world.

------ About the song Don't Drink the Water performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
I think it represent when anyone has just barged in and taken away someones home and culture for their own greed. So this could represent most of americas history of us constantly pushing the native americans out of their homeland because we believed it belonged to us.

------ About the song When the World Ends performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
I have a workshop with neighboring workshops and garage bands and mechanics between downtown and the hood.
Young, old, black, white, hispanic. Sometimes I play my music way too loud, (turnabout is fair play).
When I play the closing credits of "The Matrix Reloaded" in DVD on my shop system I get comments from everyone "That old white guy plays some great music. It makes me feel good.
The credit goes to The Dave Matthews Band and the film directors and music editors that put together a great set.
This piece is a great closer, following as it does Rage Against The Machine, Rob Zombie, POD, a little Linkin Park to catch your breath before being slammed again by yet another great piece of music.
The Matrix has a lot of dance nightclubs in it. Sarasota is revamping a successful night club to play this type of mix. It should be a reveling hit.
A song this good is hard to find the right words for, so I set up where it belongs just to try to get started.
Innovative, a mission to the unexplored region with previously unknown techniques. Guns for Somalia, Grain for Los Angeles. Words fail me.

------ About the song Grace is Gone performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
I think its funny how everyone finds their own meaning to songs. In reality the only person who knows what the song truly means is the person who wrote it. You can find your own meaning to every song made and it'll probably be completely different from everyone elses. Its human nature to put a meaning with or define something we don't really understand. our brains tell us that we need to make sence out of everything. Nevermind the fact that its just great music.

------ About the song Stay or Leave performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
this song is a tell all. an amazingly beautiful song,however sad and heartbreaking. it speaks the truth in so many ways. when my ex-boyfriend broke up with me, i listened to this the entire 3 hours home, while bawling my face off. it was only a one month long relationship, that ended with "i'm sorry", from his part, and i just broke in half. this song helped a lot. i realized that i wasn't the only person to deal with this kind of pain. "Did I do all that I should? That I could've done."

------ About the song Dreamgirl performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
Even though some of the lyrics are a little weird this is such a beautiful and strangely relaxing song overall that you can ignore the weirdness and enjoy it.
"such talent to take words about someone dying on the side of the road in Louisiana Bayou" Oh, my god. Hahaha. Where'd the heck did you get that? I don't believe you, you're crazy if you think that's what the song is about. The song is - (backed up by the somewhat creepy but very cool video) - so obviously about lust and love, dreams/dreaming vs. reality, ect. You shouldn't claim things like that unless you have some kinda proof to back it up with. (But...that'd make this song so much more strange and creepy and no longer beautiful and relaxing...if it were believable, because then people could and would probably start flame wars about necrophiliacs and stuff *shudder*....bwahahaha)

I just heard this song for the first time and it broke my heart. I'm an only child and can only wonder what it must be like to have this kind of relationship. Count yourself very blessed if you have one of these special relationships...

------ About the song Stay or Leave performed by Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
I am moving across the country in a little more than a month and I am leaving my long time boyfriend behind. Listening to this song just makes me want to stay, but I know it is better for me to leave. Perhaps when he listens to this song he will miss me too and remember that there are reasons to keep the relationship going despite the distance.
How can one man have such a wealth of knowledge and experience? Dave Matthew's never fails to amaze me and reduce me to shivers.
