I have another listen and the ideas gush
You know how Picasso had distinctive creative periods (i.e. The Blue Period)? Well, when people look back at my artistic/literary life they will see my Dave Matthews Band period. The amount of inspiration I've taken from the band's work is astonishing. Just when I think the well's run dry, I have another listen and the ideas gush. I can't even begin to explain the endless depth of meaning I find in Dave's well-turned lyrics, along with the emotional impact and beauty of the instrumentation provided by Carter, Boyd, Leroy, and Steffan. Fabulous!

Makes me feel a galaxy of emotions.
The Dave Matthews Band - amazing talent, lyrics that make me think, make me smile, make me feel a galaxy of emotions. Music that you can't stand still for and music that you can simply "be" and absorb. Inspirational, fun, beautiful guys making music for the sheer joy of it. And lucky us, to have the ears and heart to enjoy it all. Lastly, the fans of this band rival no others in love and friendship amongst them all.

They have never forgotten
The Dave Matthews Band is incredibly special to legions of fans. Yet what makes the music so special is different for everyone. To some it's the lyrics, to some it's the musicianship and to others the concert experience. Yet everybody agrees one point: they adore DMB. It should be noted that the band is incredibly conscious of their interaction with fans. In this age of the music industry and bands (see Metallica) suing music enthusiasts, DMB fans are still able to record live shows and trade them with other fans. It's this grassroots strategy that made the band successful initially and they have never forgotten about that.

Unique and commonplace at the same time
Do their vague and poetic lyrics allow us all to relate, or is it their social consciousness and humor that ease us into thinking about important issues, that make them so marvellous? The Dave Matthews Band is a group of five diverse individuals (sometimes more) that bring their unique formation, be it in classical, jazz, folk, or funk music into the wonderful blend that makes the band strangely unique and commonplace at the same time. They have served quite a purpose in my life, as their words, unique arrangements and soulful playing have hugged me through and reassured me during unfriendly times. They are realistically melancholy but always include joy in their playing. This enthusiasm in expressing SOMETHING JOYFUL has left a light of hope on for the melancholy optimist that is also in me.

I feel better instantly
The Music from the Dave Matthews Band is simply the best. If I want an extra bit of happiness all I have to do is put on any of their music and I feel better instantly.
