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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!!!!
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.
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....
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.
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.
'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.
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!
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..
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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......
I think of my mentor the poet Phil Legler a friend and correspondent of Anne Sexton. Depression and a broken heart took him late in life. Beyond Gey Street lay great joy and love. I think of you Phil when I play this song and myself as well. I left Grey Street with the help of loved ones and friends
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!!
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! :)
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
Feeling like kicking out the windows and setting fire to this life is a sentiment anyone can share at one time or another in their lives. Its so perfectly expressed here.
[ these were the day of - / inspiration - beyond - compare / - some of the greatest most inspirational music ever played - i can never ever stop listening to the music of this period - thank Dave - you are the man !!!
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
my first concert was a Dave Matthew's one. I remember being 12-13 years old hearing this song walking into the concert and it was so magical...to be a kid again.
when ever i listen to dave matthews band its like a religious experience. Especially the live versions of any song, and well, everything they write. amazing!
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.
This band just gets its...Most talented bunch out there....lyrically can't be touched.....blend of instruments can't be duplicated. You can find "Cover" bands all over the country....but NONE can cover DMB.....Seek Up!!!
I was in a health institute for reasons i wouldnt like to discuss,but my gf killed herself then when i failed to do the same i was put in a ward and every night i would sing DMB songs till i fell asleep,weeks later i was let out and it was snowing and i looked up at the sky and started crying,later that night i listened to them and i cryed so hard,i couldnt believe i went so long without listening to his beautiful music,truely music of the soul.
Very ignorant if they think this music is let's say not to their liking-- to each their own but this and much of his music is right up my alley and I'm an old guy !!!! DMB is on my bucket list as far as bands to see before I go.
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.
I haven't heard this song in such a long time. Will always be one of my favorites. RIP Leroi. Back when I was in high school and aspiring how I really wanted to play the saxophone, Leroi was my hero. To this day, out of any great saxophonist, his sound and his style are my favorite. My Jazz and rock tone I get on my tenor to this day, still comes from all the hours of listening to him when I was younger.
If that pic next to your user name is you, then it is at least a small irony that someone with such a bright smile would sometimes feel like this song, but that is an undeniable feature of the human experience. I've been to this place. Sitting here this morning, in fact. I hope the experience that inspired the feeling was short-lived and that you found your smile again quickly. You're right about the song: it's great for capturing and illuminating the experience of grief or despair.
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 :)
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.
this song is amazing. it really gives you an idea of how people all over this world are put in different problems and situations that they wish they weren't in. People fall on hard times, its a fact of life, and this song is really meaningful and just an amazing song. DMB are one of the best bands out there . . . and one of the most influential bands of our time.
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.
I have been reading a few of the comments and was utterly surprised. This song is amazing and why can't some people just go with how symbiotic his voice is with the music?
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
Glad that you felt the similarity. I did too at one point (forgetting that I'm a guy) and I can always relate to Dave in one way or another, but this one was special for me. I sing and produce music now, some ten years after I first heard this, but I still play this from time to time and sing with all my lungs (all the lungs I have left these days) and remember. Dave Matthews Band made many things possible, but one thing was made for sure.... Connection. Thanks for the post and trust me... we're all trying to fill it in.
Not a huge DMB fan... but when your daughter send you a song, you appreciate it a little more. She is a artistic girl and I can appreciate how she sees and hears the world. Good Good Song and Video!!!
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
@@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!
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.
I relate so strongly. I feel this woman is a warrior and will find her colors bold and bright. :) Today I will mark my skin with the lyrics ' take what you can of your dreams....turn them as real as anything' Life is tough, and we all have stories, but we can all rise up and deserve our dreams. Love. Thank you DMB for songs like this and others that make me remember all I have lost, but more importantly how lucky I was to have those in my life. Good energy to all going through tough times. They will pass.
My brother is a big dmb fan. He was at Daves bar in Charlottesville one day and guess who walks in, Dave. He sat there and had a great conversation with Dave for about an hr. He got me hooked on dmb and Grey street is my favorite song.
I LOVE DMB! and this song BUT I LOVE DMB! saw them in Concert Wednesday at the DTE. they are AMAZING> i am obsessed now.. i LOVE THEM! they;re simply amazing and the songs and lyrics are so powerful... LOVE them...
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
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.
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!!!!

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.
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

2024 lyrics hit differently after being sober for 2 years and many loses but kept prayer and he answered🙏 In bright bold colors here I come♥️♥️♥️
Congratulations!! What an achievement.
'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.

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.
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
This song just hits different when you’re going through it. I swear he’s singing about me.
i feel the same.
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!
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
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
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.
"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.
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.
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 😢 😭

How’s she doing now??? Update?
One of the greatest songs of all time
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 ❤️
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
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.
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......
Anyone who cannot feel this song from personal experience has not lived entirely and due for some serious heartache. God Bless Them.
I think of my mentor the poet Phil Legler a friend and correspondent of Anne Sexton. Depression and a broken heart took him late in life. Beyond Gey Street lay great joy and love. I think of you Phil when I play this song and myself as well. I left Grey Street with the help of loved ones and friends
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!
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!!
Stands the test of time!! Almost 2020!!
Ya bois
Paint it BEAUTIFULLY after all its yours 😁🤗
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! :)
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
I haven't heard this song in probably 15 years...wow. talk about a flood of memories.
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.

I know exactly how you feel. It's such a powerful song
Feeling like kicking out the windows and setting fire to this life is a sentiment anyone can share at one time or another in their lives. Its so perfectly expressed here.
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.
I'd be lying if dave matthews didn't hit my heart strings a number of times. This is one of the most.
These is why , its vital to have faith in this world music from these band gives me inspiration
[ these were the day of - / inspiration - beyond - compare / - some of the greatest most inspirational music ever played - i can never ever stop listening to the music of this period - thank Dave - you are the man !!!
Love this song.

Michael my first concert to but didn’t fully understand song or appreciate it the way I do now . This is my moms fav song and now mine .
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.
when ever i listen to dave matthews band its like a religious experience.
Especially the live versions of any song, and well, everything they write.
amazing!
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.

My favorite, FAVORITE DMB song! Greeey Street
Very ignorant if they think this music is let's say not to their liking-- to each their own but this and much of his music is right up my alley and I'm an old guy !!!! DMB is on my bucket list as far as bands to see before I go.
Reminds me of a terrible low point in my life , I was over living, thankfully life goes on....
right when you thought you had a favorite Dave Matthews song you settled on...here comes another!
I love how this song speaks to so many on so many different levels
Beautiful
My favorite DMB song of all time. Beautiful. ❤️
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.
My best friend who died almost 11 years ago introduced me to this amazing gem. It always makes me remember him when I hear it.
Beautiful song a lot of people relate to. Bravo!
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.
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 haven't heard this song in such a long time. Will always be one of my favorites.
RIP Leroi. Back when I was in high school and aspiring how I really wanted to play the saxophone, Leroi was my hero. To this day, out of any great saxophonist, his sound and his style are my favorite. My Jazz and rock tone I get on my tenor to this day, still comes from all the hours of listening to him when I was younger.
Very underrated masterpiece
My new favourite song. Dave Matthews is a medicine for what is the feeling of helplessness in a world turning bad.
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
If that pic next to your user name is you, then it is at least a small irony that someone with such a bright smile would sometimes feel like this song, but that is an undeniable feature of the human experience. I've been to this place. Sitting here this morning, in fact. I hope the experience that inspired the feeling was short-lived and that you found your smile again quickly. You're right about the song: it's great for capturing and illuminating the experience of grief or despair.
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, too, can relate to this song inside and out. Dave is a lyrical genius... this song gives me chills to this day
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 all women at point in our lives or another. One of Dave's best! thanks for including the words! :-)
one of his best if you ask me. wonder if he realizes how the songs he writes seem to peer right into the soul.
The composition is classic DMB. A brilliant little song in every regard. I'm definitely still here for it 2021. A great one to sing along to.
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
This is such a powerful song that stirs my emotions on a level that only music can.
Song is deeper then most people realize. Depression is real...
Why do we make sad songs that sound happy ???? I was jamming to this at my brothers birthday party then i looked it up and I’m finna cry bro
Depression /dissociation. The shedding of skin for some. The final wave for others
this song is amazing. it really gives you an idea of how people all over this world are put in different problems and situations that they wish they weren't in. People fall on hard times, its a fact of life, and this song is really meaningful and just an amazing song. DMB are one of the best bands out there . . . and one of the most influential bands of our time.
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 have been reading a few of the comments and was utterly surprised. This song is amazing and why can't some people just go with how symbiotic his voice is with the music?
music is open to your own interpretation .. cool song for me
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
I have a tattoo shoulder to shoulder that says "take what you can from your dreams, make them as real as anything" ❤❤❤
i haven't heard this song 4ever but i used to listen to it all the time. i didn't know i missed it so much.
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!
Glad that you felt the similarity. I did too at one point (forgetting that I'm a guy) and I can always relate to Dave in one way or another, but this one was special for me. I sing and produce music now, some ten years after I first heard this, but I still play this from time to time and sing with all my lungs (all the lungs I have left these days) and remember. Dave Matthews Band made many things possible, but one thing was made for sure.... Connection. Thanks for the post and trust me... we're all trying to fill it in.
the song's still killer!
Not a huge DMB fan... but when your daughter send you a song, you appreciate it a little more. She is a artistic girl and I can appreciate how she sees and hears the world. Good Good Song and Video!!!
This is a masterpiece
Heard/saw this song in a bar in LA all the way from Glasgow in Nov 03. Been hooked ever since.
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!
I am unsure how I overlooked this sensational Dave Matthews Band song! I thought I was a fan, until tonight when I realized I never heard this song!
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
Dave Matthews wrote this song especially for me, thank you, Dave, it's so lovely to be seen

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.
I relate so strongly. I feel this woman is a warrior and will find her colors bold and bright. :) Today I will mark my skin with the lyrics ' take what you can of your dreams....turn them as real as anything' Life is tough, and we all have stories, but we can all rise up and deserve our dreams. Love. Thank you DMB for songs like this and others that make me remember all I have lost, but more importantly how lucky I was to have those in my life. Good energy to all going through tough times. They will pass.
If your contentment depends on circumstances, or the people around you, you will never be happy

My brother is a big dmb fan. He was at Daves bar in Charlottesville one day and guess who walks in, Dave. He sat there and had a great conversation with Dave for about an hr. He got me hooked on dmb and Grey street is my favorite 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
Great song, great man and he is South African!! So proud of our brother.
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
