Music: Grey Street by Dave Matthews Band
In 2021, I’ll rise from the ashes of my old life, in colors bold & bright.
And nothing can stop you! ❤️
Yea nothing !!!
Amen sis!
How'd that work for ya?
And it breaks ur hearrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttttt
I work with bi-polar/manic depressive individuals and I have to say that this is probably the best poetic description of what they go through. I cry everytime I hear this song. Bless you Dave for your wonderful gift of music and poetry. Such vivid images and passionate sounds!! EPIC!!!!
This song just hits different when you’re going through it. I swear he’s singing about me.
i feel the same.
3 years sober 10/29, it’s crazy bc I use to listen to this beautiful song over and over again before I got sober and always imagined myself. My situation. Never thought I’d ever have a good life , was always surrounded by negativity and bad shit happening….bc of my own self I now know. I listen to this song still, HUGE fan of Dave’s and it makes me smile to just think about how far I came, remembering how I use to feel when I heard this song. Life has totally changed for me… didn’t think it was possible. Oh man it so is. Give it a try if you’re feeling how I felt. One day at a time.
Good on you! 2 weeks sober from booze today one day at a time indeed!
This song also makes me think of my past, it makes me sad to remember how normal I considered my messed up life back then. Even after years it still seems like I'm taking things one day at a time. The past will always be with us, there's no escaping who we were, but there's always silver linings, like this song.
Who is still jamming on this in 2020???
It just resonates with me...
..." I live on corner of grey street & the end of the world..."
If you can't relate at some moment in your life....
Or every moment in your life.
Siii
I’m an active alcoholic. I feel it.
"She feels like kicking out all the windows, and setting fire to this life..."
Damn, I feel like this right now.
Been there, just do it. You can rebuild last!
Me too. Exactly!
Right now and every darn day.
Who else here from Imdontai?
Still here, reviewing my playlist full of old songs. Dontai put me on
Carter is such an incredible drummer, literally every note is perfectly executed. I could listen to him drum forever
fr bro. i a drummer too. i wanna be just like him bro
As a drummer of many years, I won't deny I'm envious of his fast- twitch rolls and intricate hi-hat techniques. That said, I like to think that at some point Carter got so amazing at contemporary drumming styles that he said "fuck it, let's see how difficult I can make this on myself" while still making it look easy. I still struggle with the offset triplet ride-ping in the chorus. As a drummer, there's a necessary disconnect you must have between all your extremities in order to articulate the character of the individual sounds, and of that, Carter is the master.
cjlittl2 he’s amazing I’ve never really seen anyone play the hi hat quite like him. He doesn’t cross up his arms. He uses his left on the hat and right on the snare. I love what you said about the disconnect. I bet you’re amazing on the kit.
@@Duzz14 Stewart Copeland is a high hat savage.
Carter is dope don't get me wrong and he's perfect for this band. The only gripe I have is he plays too many "notes" sometimes. And the feel always seems to be that 16th note vibe played linearly. Tremendous groove though.
THIS SONG SAVED MY LIFE!!!! FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS SONG SUICIDE WAS A DAILY THOUGHT!!!BUT FROM THE FIRST PART OF THE INTRO BEFORE I HEARD ANY LYRICS I BROKE INTO A CRY...A LONG VIOLENT CRY...EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID HIT A NERVE...IT MADE ME SEE HOW FAR I HAD FALLEN...THANK YOU DAVE... GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just curious if you're still around. Hope life has gotten better all these years later.
This song is just great…. At some point in everyones life we can slip into the grey…and most recover by letting the light flood back into our life and illuminate the colours that are love and hope…. peace love and light people
Andy Kelly what an accurate and wonderfully beautiful comment.
Thank you for your kind words. And I hope you find the light that gives you strength to be stronger. Good can come from bad.... and if you allow the good back in the healing will begin and the strength within will grow.
I fully embrace the grey!
I saw this comment in welcome to the black parade, was it you?
Andy Kelly well said ❤️
Why doesn't this song have a trillion views?
Joseph DeWyze thank you!!!!
Dance with me
Reading this comment made my day. Best remark ever
If my comment put a smile on your face than I am happy to help. Take care buddy.
Probably because they deny access to this in China where there are over 2 Billion people
'Grey Street' is undoubtedly a beautiful piece of music ever written and composed. Like every other DMB songs, I find this song lyrically, musically and spiritually powerful.
I think this song tells us the story of a courageous woman who sees the world around her differently. She feels empty, heart-broken, helpless, lonely, reserved and restless at times, but she is faithful, hopeful, realistic and thoughtful of one's actions which is
why she does anything to fill the unfilled spaces within her. I can never get enough of this song.
Just reading this now and absolutely LOVE your take on it. I felt that!
❤️
@@TheRealDplayz6969 totally agree
In all seriousness this song is about a prostitute. Daves version of Jane says
After the death of my infant son this song resonated with me, almost 19 years later it's still comforting.
2014 i posted these lyrics to fb in a very deep depression addicted to opiates its 2020 and i set fire to that life and completely changed. I mixed colors bold and bright
Im happier
One of the greatest songs of all time
I think I know one girl from Grey Street...Every day I hope that her world gets flooded by colors bold & bright. She deserves that.
Great song.
So you fucked the color into her ?
@@justiceforjuicy6765 guess he doesn't know that all the colors mix together to grey... 🤷♂️
I’ve been the Grey Street girl a time or two in my life, and sometimes we just gotta listen to the words of the crazy man creeping outside our door ☺️
Thank you so much, I hope it's me that you are thinking of and that I will reappear but, I don't think it will be!
This song is about the struggle of addiction to me. To anyone reading this that is suffering through active addiction, I pray you get the help you need and you do it using colors bold and bright!
Yes me too. Love you!
I felt this song was the struggle of a woman but your reply gave me a new perspective. My son is clean and sober for 10 years after struggles as our family also struggled. Love when a song even has more meaning..
amen
As a father, this song reminds me of my daughter’s sadness… she lost her mother at age 10, her only grandmother died this year(she was 15, now 16)… her brother has betrayed her trust this year… she wore the biggest smile before her mother died… she is trying to build a life still, and she hasn’t given up yet, but she almost ALWAYS wore a smile before these losses…she is so deep and she dreams so big, my greatest fear is that this world will continue to beat her spirit down… such a beautiful soul… the biggest and brightest star in my eyes, and what breaks her heart also breaks mine 😢 😭
Wishing you and your daughter the best and for happy, colorful days. She’s so lucky to have you as her dad. I hope she sees that someday, even if it’s not right now. I completely identified with this song 15 years ago. I get it. It was a long way up. I hope to never go back…much love and peace.
@@kellygreene6752 thank you
🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
Such an upbeat-sounding song, then you listen the words properly and it's so sad... It's great when you find a new song you love!
ive been clean from heroin for 28 yrs now and this song helps get me through to another day and brings me out of a dark place and into a place with bright vivid colors and love of life thank you DMB
Glad to hear you're doing well ......God bless
I can't tell people how many times I've been prepared to go to blows with people who tell me Dave isn't any good
I got your back on that one!!!
Zipsy Potter I'm ashamed it has taken me a month to listen to this song again
Keep up the good fight lol
Rich V: Me, too! I was just talking to a guy who said that he “hated” them. I walked away from him.
I'm sitting listening to Dave withdrawing from pain meds while visiting my beautiful wife who is in horrible shape from her addiction as well. I'm praying my buddy gets me into rehab/program so I can take back my responsibility and get working again to get us off the streets. Music is whats getting me thru since I TRULY have pushed everyone and everything away.
one day at a time. peace.
Hope this message finds u, a year later, and you’ve done it. I know that pain too well.
wishing you and your wife all the best, dave please dont be so hard on yourself people care
Fellow addict here. I hope you found what you needed.
Hope all went well. Give us an update.
Depression /dissociation. The shedding of skin for some. The final wave for others
I live there...
need to move out.
fisheye44 me too. Still looking for a new place
Four years have passed for you. I hope you got out. I’m trying like hell.
I
Waw
You have lots of company. There's always a vacancy. Always room for one more.
I am a fan of Dave Matthews, I like this song, and I am impressed with your timing and the simplicity of the video. It allows me to enjoy the song and lyrics without being distracted by numerous images or poor timing. Thank you! :)
Love this song.
2019 #ANYBODY ??
Kyria Strange Always!!!
I’m 13 and I love this song
Forever Eva eva
I’m on a hospitals tablet so I will miss and love you forever don’t worry I’m not dying I they just want let me out of the hospital till there done doing thereevil or I overconquer them in chess the police did an illegal stop and frisk on me crazy shot asking if I had a box cutter which I didn’t like wtf
2020!!!!!
This is one of my dads favorite songs. He’s been working the same shitty job for 25 years and he and my mom have been through some rough financial times and this song just reminds me of how much miserable shit my parents have endured for me and my sister.
3 years ago the economy was roaring.. Under welfare Jo, yay.
173 people don't have red blood bleeding from them now
+Mattscott41 it's grey...it's all grey.
Dont be an ass
their navi took them to the wrong street...
This made me lol
My wife loves this song but especially when she is menstrating!
Anyone here from imdontai try not to get lit
My favorite, FAVORITE DMB song! Greeey Street
Stands the test of time!! Almost 2020!!
Ya bois
I LOVE this song sooo much...it just evokes something inside.
I know exactly how you feel. It's such a powerful song
But that saxophone though
And Carter, of course...
Spencer Peat RIP LeRoi Moore... there will never be another like him. :(
Spencer Peat yes!
The best
If your contentment depends on circumstances, or the people around you, you will never be happy
hunt
When he talks about kicking out all the windows and setting fire to this life I automatically get choked up. I’ve felt this way about my sexuality and my addiction that derived from it. 5 months sober and i’ve changed so much about me, using colors bold and bright!!
Ha, funny story.
I'm one who doesn't really listen to lyrics when I listen to music, almost like the singer's voice is just another instrument.
I was out doing Karaoke with this girl and told her I plan to sing a DMB song we both loved and didn't tell her which one.
It was Grey Street.
Halfway through the song I literally stopped singing and said "holy shit this song is depressing!"
After I finished the song and after she stopped laughing she asked me why the hell did I choose to sing that song?
The answer was an easy one, I'm an idiot.
Still love the song.
But it's only the lyrics that are sad. The music is so happy....which makes it super easy to listen to.
cool story
Ha funny story I could see the same thing happening to me
I haven't heard this song in probably 15 years...wow. talk about a flood of memories.
Don't have to be a woman to relate to this beautiful piece of art lol! But it's ok, go ahead, feel empowered you are woman roar
one of Dave's best songs! One only needs to listen to the words to understand the futility of many of life's problems. But there is always HOPE!
Love it.
Wish I could fid that hope
its true, all the colors mix together to Gray.
but add just a little luster, and that dull gray,
can become the most Beautiful Silver.
That's a beautiful reply.
Grave digger is a sad but good one
290 people live on Grey Street.
What a well written and composed song!
Finally crossed that off my list recently. From one music lover to another, I genuinely hope you get to see them live one day.
Amazing show. Seen them 6 times in Ohio
Hope you’ve seen them every (non covid) year after this post! Best shows ever.
You do realize this song is about Dave's sister (Jane) who killed herself because her boyfriend abused her, right? I hope you can't relate to that.
Explanation kills art. We know why Dave wrote it but he's singing it to us for a totally different reason then we have for singing it back. If you've been depressed or suicidal this is a very very accurate song and godbless Dave Matthews for writing it because it shows those struggling to overcome that they're not alone. Even if his sister didn't make it, it shows he understands.
Jane is still alive. Anne was murdered by her husband, unfortunately.
Nope Anne killed herself thats who i meant by Jane i was wrong
My friend, Anne did not commit suicide. She was murdered by her husband. He wrote the song, "sister" about her.
"Sister" is also about Jane.
Fuck me this song breaks my heart......so powerful.
is it just me or do the lyrics make anyone else tear up?
Especially if they're close to someone who lives on "Grey Street".
Seeing them, over and over, use bold colors to change themselves, but always ending up in the same place. Tearing up right now.
Every single time
As a drummer not sure if I'm more impressed by Carter Beauford on this song or Satellite, the guy is so damn good
Two step and tripping billies
Let’s be honest, it’s MOST Dmb songs that we listen to. that at some point we single out the drums and are kinda at a loss for words.
The Stone does it for me. That drumming is so damn perfect.
God, I love Satellite.
Hello! I’m kind of a noob when it comes to DMB, however I do really love this song. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Yo Liam! Check out the Central Park live concert! Kind of late to your comment, but my favorite Dave Matthews Band songs are Why I am, Warehouse, Jimi Thing, don’t drink the water, and Two step
All of it. Listen to Pearl Jam and Chris Cornell too.
It's all amazing. Except "where you are going" that song socks.
@@mintymayhem3248 I totally meant to comment back a while ago but thanks for this recommendation! They rocked Central Park and I haven’t stopped listening to DMB since I read this comment. Going to see them in a week!
@@liamcarey8726 Thats so great to hear liam! Ive been to a few live shows and they're amazing!
Reminds me of a terrible low point in my life , I was over living, thankfully life goes on....
Very underrated masterpiece
Reminds me of my Mom. She was a star who's shine was too bright. But my Father was old fashion, and believed the Man should work and the woman should tend the home. My Mom drank herself to death when I was 16.
In the word's of Steven King: Some birds are far to beautiful to keep caged up. My Mother fit that bill. 20 years and it still hurts.
I’m so sorry about your loss but keep moving on and make yourself successful I bet that what your mom would of wanted 😀
Sorry for your loss, take it easy on yourself
These is why , its vital to have faith in this world music from these band gives me inspiration
Paint it BEAUTIFULLY after all its yours 😁🤗
I just booked a tattoo to get the saying "Take what you can from your dreams, and make them as real as anything" down the back of my arm
no joke i remember YEARS ago when thos video had only about 100k views. havent thought of the song in years the suddenly it came into my head.
And here i am again 3 years later listening to it. I always find my way back here eventually.
I have a tattoo shoulder to shoulder that says "take what you can from your dreams, make them as real as anything" ❤❤❤
LOL Social Justice PC in the lyrical editing. Sorry... Dave refers to God as a man not "it". 😂
the song's still killer!
To get lost in your dreams for one moment is when God has touched your face and whispered in your ear to live life for what is true for you in your own heart and soul is what will carry you through the tragedy that life may bring ... The veil has been lifted......
one of his best if you ask me. wonder if he realizes how the songs he writes seem to peer right into the soul.
this song is actually about his sister, she had an abusive relationship and she was beaten so bad she died. really sad.
How do u know that? Not questioning you but DM junkie never heard ,Iam curious.HOPE SHES LEFT THAT SHIT,ITS SO F-ING HARD
her husband killed her in a murder suicide... awful.
Really? Holy shit I thought she died in a car accident. RIP Jane.
Anne not Jane.
I love how this song speaks to so many on so many different levels
Beautiful
Best DMB song
Sitting in my "grey" world in my cubicle at work dreaming of brighter pastures, made me shed a tear listening. This song spoke my heart.
This song reminds me so much of myself. Dave Matthew's has an incredible percussionist and brass section aswell. Kudos to this band, and this song. ❤ listening March 25th 2021, and long before.
Am I allowed 2 b drunk on this site?
never
it's better if you are -xo
I'm drunk on this site too...it happens
That's really funny am drunk rite now as well. Lol
Screw getting drunk. Smoke a bowl lil darlings
Every.time I here this song i want two 😩 if I was in the band.when Dave let go .all I can do is ride on his.wave I can see me crying 😢 and playing my hart out
Dave Matthew's sister was murdered by her husband, who subsequently killed himself.
+Joe S sorry this is not a debate about what you and I believe about God or satan. The reality is that there's a heaven and a hell and you and l my friend will surely end up in one of these places. Just like there's a birth there must also be a death. Really the impotent thing in our lives should be "where will l spend eternity? " To often you read on media's like this one about deep topics such as this one and ppl turn really ugly. Perhaps because they themselves are afraid of the unknown. So l want to end this comment saying two things, first thank you for commenting on my post with respect and secondly, l encourage you to seek God the God in heaven. Because it's better to believe in an unseen deity than to ignore it's existences. If were wrong we'll hurt no one by looking into this daiety but if we're right we end up winning because we will be transformed into an everlasting life and avoid the pits of hell. I read the Bible and I believe what it says about Hell being a one door place meaning you can go in but you can't come out. So I rather take my chances in trusting God and know that he will take us into a place of peace, love, and security. A place where there's no pain and no more death. Than to end up in a pit of fire where the Bible clearly states that those who decides to follow that trail will burn for eternity. God bless you, me, and anybody else who read this post whether they agree or disagree.
Joe S actually she was murdered in 1994 by her husband
thanks goanna
I'm a lyrics person. All of your music is outstanding. The words to this song are sad and lonely. And unfortunately I feel like a large population can completely relate 2 how this feels. The beauty of some of your lyrics in your music, they're always relatable. I'm 57 and I have been a fan of yours since you're very first album. You've only gotten better
wow has it really been that long O.o i remember i loved this song when i was like 12
im 17 now and i haven't heard this song in a while...felt like coming back to it :)
Same with me, dang.
This song is inspired by the life of the poet Anne Sexton, who suffered from depression and took her own life in 1974. In concert this song has been played over 260 times, especially between 2000 and 2002 when it was first released.
music is open to your own interpretation .. cool song for me
One of his favorites brings back his smile

Fentanyl overdose killed my husband
So sorry
Btw you might not have a clue what other have been through I got a friend he seems really depressed but still stable
I don't know what this song was written about but for me... Its a about someone wanting to be heard and loved and pretends everyday and isn't happy but puts the smile on that she's supposed to and just wished someone could see thru what is a blah existance.....Then I hear iris or crush and think there it is
I started to like dave Mathews when I was 8 I think
This song is me...”She says nothing of what she thinks...but I can’t get out of this place.”
This is a masterpiece
That sax though
Beautiful song a lot of people relate to. Bravo!
😞 hope only gets you so far. My children bring me the rest of the way... And wine... Or gin.. It's all spirits within. #glasshouse #settle
I would love to see this band play live someday.
it is an exceptional life experience-worth anything it takes
it's life changing if you love dave
if you do buy the poster there. they are $50 but totally worth is cuz only about 500 are made
Better do it this year or you have to wait until 2018..they are taking a break from touring next year.
me too!
It's about being stuck in the Hegelian Dialectic and wanting to be free and independent. The crazy man is trying to encourage her to break out but she is afraid. She won't study Aristotle.
i love how when he sings ohhhhhh- the lyrics say uhhhhhh
This song is about life and death. Black and white. Everyone sees Grey. The devil is attacking her. The one outside her door is the Devil. She is pleeding for God's help. The colors of God are that of the rainbow, 7, not 6.
Michael Karns whUt
the colors, alone do mix to Gray,
but if you let the light within Shine,
then that gray..
may turn to Silver..
That would be beautiful in the song tbh. especially in an extended version from back in the day.
cute
Holy fuck this song is so beyond this time and space.
Dontai send me here
This song describes my anxiety to a tee!!
Im so drunk too. I love dave matthews music
I am humming "Lawyers, Guns And Money".
I just requested this song on the jukebox at Neenah Eagles Club a few hours ago, along with "Two Step" and "Tripping Billies". And get this, 15-30 seconds into each song it stopped and went to the next one. But all the other songs they let play straight through, even the one after these three which was "She Bangs" by Ricky Martin. I guess they had a remote control or something and they were trying to skip to the "cool" stuff before closing time. I don't know why, I'm just livid.
Reminds me of a girl who I liked back in College, but she is now happily married with 2 kids.
Song is deeper then most people realize. Depression is real...
It'll take the work out of the courage
Remembering feeling like this breaks my heart. For so long this song described me but with Jesus, I got through it. I pray for all of those who are listening to this song feeling the way that I did. I pray that you find joy, peace, and rest.
Am I wrong but I thought the song was about his sister, who was in a domestic violent relationship...... As he also writes about her in his track sister.... Dmb is one amazing artist....
I'm 40 and have been frustrated this week with friggin 60 year olds insisting I know nothing because of my age. It happens the other way as well (people not wanting to hire older folks, acting like elders are less useful in society) and is always hurtful. Happens frequently to females too in our society (your opinion/talent is irrelevant simply because you're female.) sucks being the recipient, certainly doesn't make me want to be a better person, it's like being blanketed in shame for just being the simplest pieces of who you are, it makes me want to be mean. but you just have to let it go I guess. I'm done trying to understand why people are like that, my job now is to just ignore it and keep pressing on. ha, and great tune by the way! been rockin it on guitar and love it!!
FreedomOrNothin yes, working on not taking things personally, myself. thanks for your insight, appreciated.
Who are the 123 assholes that thumbsdowned this song ?

The SJW lyric translation! LOL God is a "he" not "it". 😂
He clearly says “it” but whatever.
