The magic of this song comes from pulling you into feeling sorry for the poor soul of this sad girl, and then leaving us with the slow realization that we all stare out on to grey streets. I feel all alone like everyone else in this world and enjoy the color and light when I realize we're all experiencing the same existence in search of the little things that make us happy in life. I'm still an optimist and taking my paintbrush to the street tomorrow and painting it gold. Help wanted.
This is MUSIC!!! Power...emotion...content...honest and raw. No spin doctors trying to MAKE us want it...Dave does that all by himself...with his talent...storytelling...with his emotion and his heart.
thank god for the DMB family... the only people who will ever truly understand me and the only place i am sure i belong. like if you feel the same way
just once i want to watch a video and not have people talk about other musicians that shouldnt have more views. who fucking cares. do you need all the 6 or 7 billion people on earth to like a band for you to be able to like it? Just listen to what you like don't worry about everyone else
My mom loved this song so much she typed the lyrics and framed it in our living room. I was 5 and had no idea what they meant or why she'd frame words. But now, especially while listening to this amazing song, I understand everything!!!
@metsfanatic1986 It's because the demographic who like this music aren't plastered to YouTube every day. I bet the majority of this audience are helping shore up the babysitter economy somewhat during the concert :)
@metsfanatic1986 I have asked that very question myself. I am not saying Miley Cyrus doesn't have a place in the music, but to think there are more of her fans out there than Dave's is really a reflection of our society.
@1danrobbins Gentlemen, its also a sign of the times. DMB was at their peak over a decade ago, with several multi platinum albums. A lot of the fans are older and may not go on youtube and watch videos as much. DMB has probably sold more albums than miley cyrus. Hordes of teenagers from all around the world arent flocking to youtube to watch a live DMB video.
@metsfanatic1986 Going to go out on a limb here and say children are viewing miley cyrus. lol. its okay...we'll get through this. this is where the adults hang.
Man there are TOO many sick ass live albums. Decommend DMBLive Blue Note, Live Trax Vol 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 19, Live at Red Rocks, Chicago, Listener Supported, Folsom Field, The Gorge, Central Park, WOTR, Piedmont Park, Lucca, Across the Pond, New York City (2010), TBOWA and all the warehouse volumes.
I cant even image how cool it would be to be one of them. I think about it all the time, being able to play on stage like that with so many good musicians, awesome
no matter how much someone hates DMB they CANNOT deny that they r all GREAT at what they do. Hating DMB should just be due to taste. this is definately one of the most brilliant songs I've ever heard.
Nobody, no matter how much they hate DMB, can deny that carter is an amazing drummer. Same with Boyd, and Leroi. I mean just look at them play. Carter is possibly the most talented drummer i've ever seen. You could hate DMB but it can't be denied that they are all amazing at the instruments they play.
@adamgrosskopf oh yeahhhh.. they're comin to va beach amphitheater in july and I will be there, but this year I will not be working the show as a medic, I will be in the seats, dancing my ass off!! I love you, dmb! RIP Leroi, miss you like oxygen..
theres an emptiness inside her and she'd do anything to fill it up but all the colors they flow together to GREEY ... dude the best artist musician of the new age ...... and thats the truth
@jwalts37 newer versions of Grey Street with rashawn and jeff coffin are better... especially the second time through the chorus. The Big Apple Bonus Disk version is good as well as Live Trax vol 6 from Fenway.
who's tighter as a band, not to mention RIP LEROI and Carter Beauford is the real MR. CARTER not that syrup drinking lil wayne or that greedy man they call Jay Z.
@datCRUNKbuay that seriously made me LAUGH OUT LOUD. Acronyms don't even cut it. That was hilarious. I know you typed that a year ago, but I just had to say....
how would you feel in an extremely loud environment (dogs have better hearing) if you were being thrust into the air when you don't have a clue what's going on?
