My favorite.



Title: #41
Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Album: Crash
Release: 1996


This song.... is beautiful. Leroi and Boyd's playing... Dave's singing, Carter's druming, Stefan's bass.... They better play it when I see them this summer. THIS IS my favorite Dave Matthews Band song, and it makes me cry I won't hear Leroi's flute ever again at a live show :(

Title: The Best Of What's Around
Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Album: Under The Table And Dreaming
Release:1994

Opinions on songs: Most people who only know DMB from radio airplay won't know this song, and that's a damn shame. I love this song, it's fun to sing, and it's a great pick-me-up. So yeah, Ants Marching aint got nothin on this song. :)

So good, so good, so good!




Song: Sweet Caroline
Artist: Originally by Neil Diamond, in this case- Dave Matthews Band.
Album: for DMB: Live Trax 6- Fenway Park, Boston Mass.
Release: for DMB: 2006


Opinions on song: I am very deeply tied to this song. This is my grandfather's favorite song. When I was a little girl, he would put the Neil Diamond record on the record player and sing it to me while swinging me around in his arms. He was my hero, and still is. My grandfather has Parkinson's Disease and has now lost the ability to do things like dress himself, and even sing. His talking is about to go too. So, this song is something that echos in my head often, and the words are engraved in my memory. I've always loved the original, but the Dave Matthews Band (another favorite band of my grandfather) did a great job performing this song. I love the way Dave sings it. So, I picked their version to sing along with. I think its better for my voice. :) It was fun and emotional to sing this song. I hope you enjoy it.
