I used to listen to Dave Matthews Band.  A lot. 

Nowadays I think all of this songs sound relatively the same. BUT … in light of the release of their latest album (today, actually … well I’ve got three minutes before today is tomorrow) … I thought I’d share one of my favorite DMB songs.  This song especially hits home for me … jabs me right in that central vascular organ that likes to drop and race at inopportune times.  So you’re dying to know, right?  It’s called Stay or Leave … and it truly is a wonderful, melancholy little tune.

On this same subject, I heard the big “headliner” song from his recent album and, although the rhythm is fine and the beats get my thumbs drummin’ on the steering wheel, once I listen to the lyrics I want to forget I ever admitted to liking it. Horrendously cliche.  Way too obvious.  No poetry there at all. Blah.

There’s my musical soapbox stand for the day.  Hope you enjoyed it.
