Been obsessively listening to Dave Matthews for two days. Have any one of their songs playing inside my head at all times. Everyday is possibly their best album as a whole. Musically it probably falls short of the standard set by Under the Table and Dreaming, built on by Crash and perfected by Before These Crowded Streets but the lyrics are moving and always true. But that's just a personal opinion since Everyday actually went triple platinum. I like the new sound but there was just more 'funk' to the earlier music. Which reminds me that I still have to find Crowded Streets and Dave Matthews' solo album Some Devil somewhere because they're not in the market here. If anyone knows where I can get these from, please let me know. Don't tell me to find the songs on mp3 coz i just don't function that way. I want a CD. Also have to buy Stand Up and I get an itch every time I think about not having heard an entire DMB album.

Boyd Tinsley's True Reflection is also apparently awesom so I need to get my hands on some of that music as well. (For those who don't know, he's the DMB violin player.)

And now for some of my favorite lyrics of all time...

I know I’ll miss her later
Wish I could bend my love to hate her
Wish I could be her creator
To twist her arms now

She stares up at the stars when
The stars fell from her hair then
I bent down to collect them
And then she was gone

Oh I sleep just to dream her
I beg the night just to see her
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her arms

Oh I came there to find out
Find out she made up her mind ohhhh
My arms are all tied up
To me she was blind

Mmmm this space between us
Where wingless dreams fall earless
Will you not bear me witness
With your back to me now
It seems so unnerving
Yet still somehow deserving
That she could hold my heart so tightly
And still not see me here

Oh I sleep just to dream her
Beg the night just to see her
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her arms

I know I’ll miss her later
I wish I could bend my love to hate her
Wish I could be her creator
To be the light in her eyes

--Sleep to Dream Her, DMB, Everyday
