[deeswagger]

My friend Melissa passed away on Oct 15th, 2002, at the age of 26. We worked together for many years and she was my best friend on a daily basis. This was her favorite Dave song, and this was the night that we got to see it live...she lives on in our hearts...R.I.P. Melissa

[gailsie28594]

" I remember thinking , I'll go on forever only knowing I'll see you again, but I know , the touch of you is hard to remember, but like that touch, I've known no other"

.... that would be why we are all soooo crazy in love with this band...

[musiclover1223]

This is the very 1st completed song written by Dave. What a way to start! (Song That Jane Likes had music 1st but did not have lyrics yet.)

[humancrab1]

Song makes me sad, but one of my favorite DM songs.

[apoop624]

[ACompleteUnknown]

"I'll go on forever only knowing I'll see you again..."

[elluta22]

saddest song in my life... haha...

i been listen to many bands before.. but matthews is greeat...

[Martofla]

my ex wife iwas almost like julia, with the differece that we never get merried and she lied to me almost 4 years.. however, this is one of the sadest songs ever. he is the best... but halloween is halloween..

[alexshort14]

you dont know julia at all so how could you compare her with your wife?

[kcolly1]

i have a contemporary dance to this song and it has to be the easiest dance ive ever been able to "feel". the words create such a deep feeling and drive the movement effortlessly

[poopies474]

julia grey.... what a slut

[stingrayglobal]

After both my parents passed away...this song means so much.

[ladynea]

same to me...

[courtneylynn1979]

One of the best and most sincere songs ever, in my opinion.

[ashalilove]

THANKS FOR THIS POST!!!!!!!!

[DejaVuSu]

MY God...he always gets me crying...and I freaking LOVE it~~ So beautiful!!

[idonthinklately]

Fuck man One of the greatest saddest most beautiful songs ive ever heard. thank you dave!!

[MaggieC982]

i really loved this, this is a great song

[DMB2741]

3:44, that little scream, gave me chills

[strongisland417]

wow scratch that was 6.11.01 semmed longer ago

[strongisland417]

was at this concert was amazing. starting hailing during two step.

[seannn111]

i would die to see hime play this next week june 24 and 25 mansfield mass

[filmtress]

Wow, his voice is still so very clear and sound just as young as it did when he sang it in the early days. Much to my surprise I didn't think he could still do that due to age, wear and tear of his vocal chords through the years. He's definately blessed. Thanks Dave for that and thank you BestIntentions.

[BestIntentions]

Hi Filmtress, Hmm...Would you happen to mean "through the years" of screaming Halloween, Watchtower & the likes of those?! ;-)

This is a beautiful song. It shows his tender side. If I'm not mistaken, he wrote it for his first true love, Julia Grey. Word is, he proposed to her 3 times, but she declined. (Dave's life is an "open book", as they say, but he doesn't seem to mind.)

[mpddispatch]

Awesome info my friend. A fact I did not know. I think as far as the voice goes, his is like fine wine. It will only get better and "wiser" with age. He is timeless and I thank my lucky stars I am around during all of his days. CHEERS!

[antsmarching29]

yeah, he proposed to her 3 times and she said no every time. and he wrote halloween about it.

[loweyklo]

bet shes kicking herself in the ass lol. love this song!!! dmb!!!

[DMB2741]

yea maybe, but if she hadn't said no then we might not have dmb at all, he could've done something else, everything happens for a reason. if had married her we wouldn't have this song, or halloween, and maybe even others that came from that time.

[minisight2000]

is he married now? i hear he has kids and stuff...

[Pilot721]

yes. Married and has 3 kids.

[theseballsforsale]

@BestIntentions All i can say, it that Julia Grey missed out on a massive opportunity.
