Music of the Heart.

Dave Matthews Band is one of my favorites.  They just released a new studio album called Big Whiskey andthe Groo Grux King. It is amazing...if you haven't bought it yet, what are you waiting for?!?! This band is sort of myserious and elusive to me.  Usually when I love a band or artist, I immerse myself in their bidness...personal and musical (example: John Mayer).  Dave Matthews Band has not been this way.  I found this awesome behind the scenes special on Hulu that sort of satifies that "obsession" need for me. 


I love that Dave Matthews himself drew the artwork for the album cover. That makes them even more amazing.

Lyrics from one of my favorite songs on the new album: Dive In

I saw a man on the side of the road with a sign that read will work for food
Try to look busy until the light turns green

I saw a bear on T.V.
And his friends were all drowning
Because their homes were turning to water
Strange kinda sad big old bear
I'm sure he'd happily eat me
He'd tear me to pieces out there

Wake up sleepy head I think the sun's a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising
Summer's here to stay, and all those summer
games will last forever
Go down to the shore kick off your shoes
Dive in the empty ocean

Tell me everything will be ok
If I just stay on my knees and keep praying
Believing there's something
Tell me everything is all taken care of
By those qualified to take care of it all

Wake up sleepy head I think the sun's a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising
Summer's here to stay, and all those summer
games will last forever
Go down to the shore kick off your shoes
Dive in the empty ocean

One day you think we'll wake up in a world on
its way to getting better and if so can you tell me how?

I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing
The tourniquet's not keeping hold in spite of our twisting
Though we would like to beleive we are not in control
Though we would love to believe

Wake up sleepy head I think the sun's a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising
Summer's here to stay, and all those summer
games will last forever
Go down to the shore kick off your shoes
Dive in the empty ocean.
