DAVE MATHEWS BAND: RAPUNZEL [11]




Dave Matthews Band, sometimes shortened to DMB, is a U.S. rock band formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991. The founding members were singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, drummer/backing vocalist Carter Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore. Boyd Tinsley was added to the band as a violinist soon after the band was formed. Moore died suddenly in August 2008 due to complications from an ATV accident. Grammy Award-winner Jeff Coffin, of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, has since filled Moore's spot as the band's saxophonist. Rashawn Ross and Tim Reynolds have also become full-time touring members of the band. With musicians who each have roots in differing genres, including jazz, classical, soul, rock, bluegrass, and hip-hop, the band has come together to create an eclectic sound which has earned them fans from a variety of quarters. As of 2010, Dave Matthews Band have approximate sales between 30 and 40 million copies worldwide.

The band is known for their annual summer-long tours of the US and Europe, featuring lengthy improvisational renditions of their songs, accompanied by an elaborate video and lighting show. This portion of the tour has become a stamp of DMB and has grown with the band since Fenton Williams began in the early 1990s. After twenty consecutive years of touring the band announced that it is going to take the summer of 2011 off. The band's most recent album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King (the first since Moore's death) debuted at number one on Billboard 200, giving the band their fifth consecutive number one debut, making them the second band behind Metallica to do so.

The band has won one Grammy Award, and was awarded the NAACP Chairman's Award. According to Julian Bond, "they sell out the largest arenas on Earth, but frequently give their music away."

2. LOVE OF MY LIFE

Santana Featuring Dave Matthews
"Love of My Life"
Artists:
Featuring Dave Matthews


[Written by C. Santana & D. Matthews]



Where you are, that's where I wanna be
And through your eyes, all the things I wanna see
And in the night, you are my dream
You're everything to me

Chorus:
You're the love of my life
And the breath in my prayers
Take my hand, lead me there
What I need is you here


I can't forget the taste of your mouth
From your lips the heavens pour out
I can't forget when we are one
With you alone I am free

Bridge:
Everyday, every night, you alone
You're the love of my life
Everyday, every night, you alone,
You're the love of my life

Outro:
We go dancing in the moonlight
With the starlight in your eyes
We go dancing till the sunrise
You and me we're gonna dance, dance, dance

3. YOU NEVER KNOW

Sitting still as stone
watching, watching
people walking by
wondering why
no one ever stops to talk
or thinks about what if they ever did

What if God shuffled by
one day we might see
we're doing not a thing
like breathing just to breathe
we might find some reason

But rushing around seems whats wrong with the world
don't lose the dreams inside your head
they'll only be there til' you're dead
dream

Lying on the roof
counting
the stars that fill the sky
I wonder is
someone in the heavens looking back down on me
I'll never know

So much space to believe
funny when you're small
how the moon follows the car
there's no one but you see
hey the moon is chasing me

and I worried if I looked away she'd be gone
don't lose the dreams inside your head
they'll only be there til' you're dead
dream

Oh oh oh

walking through the wood
no cares in the world
the world
she's come to play
she's all mine just for a day

There's not a moment to lose in the game
don't let the troubles in your head
steal too much time, you'll soon be dead
so play

all fall down
it won't be so long now
out of the darkness
comes light like a flash
you think you can
you think you can
sometimes that is the problem
dream little darling, dream

Spinning on the wind
the leaf fell from the limb
and everyday should be a good day to die
all fall down
it won't be too long now
every fire dies out
I find it hard to explain
how I've got here
I think I can
I think I can
then again I will falter
dream, oh I think I can I think I can
I think I can
dream little darling, dream

Spinning on the wind
the leaf fell from the limb

4. ALONE AND FORSAKEN


(with Neil Young)

Born in the springtime when blossoms unfold
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
Our life was in flower as summer grew on
And life like the leaves now has withered and gone

The roses have died, there's alone
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
The grass in the valley is starting to die
And out in the darkness the whippools wills cry

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Please understand

Oh, where have you gone, where can you be
How you forsaken some others like me
You promised to honor, to love and obey
As each vow was a plaything that you threw away

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man

Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Please understand

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Please understand

The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance beginning to bey
I wonder, I wonder - what she's thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten - without any love

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Please understand

Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me, please hold my hand
Please understand

Alone and forsaken
Alone and forsaken
Alone and forsaken

5. DREAM GIRL

Yeah, Ya, Yeah
Yeah, Ya, Yeah Oh.

Yeah... Hey, alright...
(I) I would dig a hole all the way to China
unless of course I was there
and I'd dig my way home.
If by digging I could steal
The wind from the sails of the greedy men who ruled the world.
Still you're my best friend
and after a good, good drunk
you and me wake up and make love
after a deep sleep where I was dreaming
I was dreaming of a

Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl (Yeah)
Dreamgirl

I was feeling like a creep as I watched you asleep
face down in the grass in the park in the middle of hot afternoon

Your top was untied and I thought how nice it'd be to follow the sweat down your spine.
You're like my best friend
Oh, after a good good drink
you and me wake up and make love
after a deep sleep where I was dreaming
I was dreaming of a

Dreamgirl (yeah)
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl (yeah)
Dreamgirl

Caught by a wave my back to the ocean.
It knocks me off my feet and
just as I find my footing
here you come again!

Dreamgirl, oh
Dreamgirl (mumble man)
The deep end...

6. RAPUNZEL

Open wide
Oh so good I'll eat you
Take me for a ride
In your sweet delicious
Perfect little mouth
Thereupon I linger
You will have no doubt
I'll do my best for you I do

Love
Let's stop to get it going
Lost myself just thinking
About the two of us
From each other drinking
Begin with the lips
Fingertips and kissing
Turn me inside out
I do my best for you

Up and down we go
From the top you push me
This is such a thrill
Lost in love and dancing
Shake your tambourine
You blow my head open
Of one thing I'm sure
I do my best for you I do

For you I would crawl
Through the darkest dungeon
Climb the castle wall
If you are my Rapunzel
You let your hair down
Right in through your window
Good they locked the door cuz
I do my best for you


I think the world of you
All of my heart I do
Blood through my veins for you
You alone have all of me
I give my world to you
To you I will be true

Too good to be real
Smell of something cooking
My soul up to steal
From the food we're filling
What you've given me
For it there is no measure
Of one thing I know
I give my best for you

I think the world of you
All of my heart I do
Blood through my veins for you
You alone have all of me
From you my strength is full
To carry your burdens too
I give my world to you

Hip lock up so tight
You drive me crazy
Crazy is all right
With you looking at me
You make me feel high
Every single thing you do to me
Is like I'm drunk
I do my best for you I do

7. OH


The world is blowing up
The world is caving in
The world has lost her way again
But you are here with me
But you are here with me
Makes it ok

I hear you still talk to me
As if you're sitting in that dusty chair
Makes the hours easier to bear
I know despite the years alone
I'll always listen to you sing your sweet song
And if it's all the same to you

I love you oh so well
Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow
I love you oh so well
Enough to fill up heaven, overflow, and fill hell
Love you oh so well

And it's cold and darkness falls

It's as if you're in the next room so alive
I could swear I hear you singing to me

I love you oh so well
Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow
I love you oh so well
Enough to fill up heaven, overflow, and fill hell

The world is blowing up
The world is caving in
The world has lost her way again
But you are here with me
But you are here with me
Makes it ok

Oh girl you're singing to me still
I love you oh so well
Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow
I love you oh so well
Enough to fill up heaven overflow and fill hell

8. RAIN


Oh, rain, well, in your dreams, rain, right
Go up and rain when you're flying
You don't know what you don't know
You know what you don't know
And you know what you know
Why rain?
But you're evil
I have deep confidence in me
Rain, but sure is rain
I won't go away from you

Oh, I am the devil, I am rain
The devil hides in you, to play again
Oh yeah God
Sometimes I'll sleep on it
This life I would maybe think to hang it up in the cupboard
And hope for something better
But alright... now it fades away into nothing, baby, baby, baby

9. LOVING WINGS

My heart was made of broken bones
My Soul's a bag of stick and stone
And out along this dusty road
You have come my love to take me home

I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
to hear me sing my love out loud (oh...)

You lightly lifted me away
Out of a darkness, cold and gray
And I work beneath the midday sun
My cool blue water you have come

I give to you my everything

You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
to hear me sing my love out loud (oh...)

So take your place here next to me
And I'll take my place there next to thee
And no matter how far YOU may roam
Its by your side I make my home

I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
to hear me sing my love out loud (oh...)

How many more nails

It was different from the...
How many more knives into my back, Jack

How many more broken hearts

How many more nails

How many more, baby
Haw many more times tried,

How many more, baby
Will you go and leave me alone,

How many more nails, baby

How many more nails
How many more knives through the back
Oh, How many more nights......
