[faller006]

loling in the park on a beautiful day

[Fanpire1231]

My English teacher introduced me to this song. Thanks Mrs. Gittin:)

[GameRoomChannel]

[guitaristkenny]

there the nicest guys in the planet!! got lots of pictures with them :p

[kimriddle2]

[vane2370]

this is song is probably the best song in the world. js

[GameKiller8094]

its funny the way it is when you think about it. REBEL 4 LIFE!

[taktaktojax]

Zwariowany świat! Ale chyba jedyny ...

[scottosmond15]

cette chanson est vraiment bon

[rockinassasin64]

this is such an awesome song

[DefNerdz]

this song is full of irony, thats what makes this song so good.

[Klaus141986]

Cada día me gusta más esta canción!!

[Aileenk8]

che fighi i pulsanti....l

[catsanddogsification]

the lyrics make alot of sense, great song and album.

[MooseHunter911]

1:50 - 2:14 best part imo, musically and lyric-wise.

[0nlyTheVeryBest]

@MooseHunter911 I have no idea why but I cannot get this part out of my head. It's so fucking good but i have no idea why!

[0nlyTheVeryBest]

@MooseHunter911 I have no idea why but I cannot get this part out of my head. It's so fucking good but i have no idea why!

[Vamphaery]

Now the world is small

Compared to how it used to be

With mountains

And oceans

And winters

and rivers

and stars

[DarthBlueWater]

Thank god for this album... I was happy that this turned out to be so good after Everyday and Stand Up

[dienpa]

I always pop the nicest, most spontaneous smile every time i listen to this song. If a song has the power to do that, to bring a smile to anyone who listens to it, well, that song is special, it's magical. Just like the band that created it, the combination of Dave's beautiful voice, Jeff's (who filled in for a legend, RIP Leroi) captivating saxophone, Carter's mind-blowing drum playing, Tim's guitar playing, Boyd's awesome violin and Rawshan's trumpet, that's the combination to happiness,

[svansadia]

Funny the way it is that many of DMB's songs have a progressive message of change while the core of its fanbase is white-suburban and apathetic towards social ethos.

[TheDayThatNeverArive]

I love this music ♥

[TAYLORHWALL]

dandy track! the whole album is marvelous.

[RajaMCool]

This song is very moving and thought provoking. The lyrics are very deep and intense. I feel that the overall message is a bit shocking and I sort of get depressed after the song ends. It makes me sort of sad.

[peachyFLOWER]

Played it for a band show with my schools show band last football season, along with shake me like a monkey and Why I Am,,,we had a Dave Matthews Band show :3

[Bozewani]

funny the way it is that some people hated the song which makes the people who love it, love it even more

[MrKaptainKraut]

man this song makes me want to go find some who i can be in love with

[iheartemoboys41]

[budgerigarz]

Damn, I ned to get this album.

[Wrash16]

I swear every time I hear this song I hear it as if he says "Sunshine Immigrants"

[GabGhost]

@Wrash16 Oh god, it might just be because it's early in the morning, but that made me laugh like crazy, pfffft.

[FGSRFunLol]

Is this song about the time the band emptied their tour bus septic tank off of a bridge onto a ferry full of people?

[guerrillafilmz]

@FGSRFunLol Totally fucking awesome and correct. Funny the way it is, Dave is an environmentalist, yet Boyd's bus dumped raw sewage into my city's water. funny the way that is.

[bellaKohler]

Standing on a bridge Watch the water passing Underneath It must have been much harder When there was no bridge Just water Now the world is small Compared to how it used to be With mountains and oceans And winters and rivers and stars I love this part most! :D

[catherinet227]

@bellaKohler me too!!

[bellaKohler]

One day, I heard such a beautiful song on the radio, I had no idea which one it was and I couldn't get complete phrases out of it to look it up on google. Another day I heard this song again, and I recorded it. Now I got it! I looked the few phrases I had up on google. I searched, and found! :D I'm so glad I found this beautiful song!! :P

[polloxkun]

@bellaKohler and what was the name of the song?

[meetkatherinez]

@polloxkun Funny the Way It Is by Dave Matthews Band.

[polloxkun]

@meetkatherinez ooooo now i get your last comment XD

[123rockfan]

This song always makes me really anxious. Which is the point I think.

[filcute0]

[sharksarefriends]

That's really cool what you did by listing all the tracks and highlighting the one that's playing at the moment. VERY convenient. Thanks!

[my3cents]

Incredible musical arrangements & awesome lyrics.

[DoubleZer0Se7en]

The one good song they play at the grocery store I work at.

[duckyhore44]

i was introduced to this song less than a week ago. ive listened to it at least 10 times a day ever since then... litterally. now excuse me while i listen to it 9 more times

[JACOBXSMITH]

I'm not a big fan of older bands, but this is a good song.

[kalburiumstormbreath]

I fell in love to this song. This is the first time I've been able to listen to this song for over a year.... Sensory recall to the time I first met her to the time I knew I loved her. Now I am without her. I still love her so much. I miss you Leslie.

[paulskater911]

@kalburiumstormbreath Same here but it's the song You and Me. I know what it feels like.

[rcurly11]

Question:"Funny the way it is,am I right or wrong?"

Answer:You're 100% right!

I love this song sooo much,I've loved it ever since I heard it either last year or the year before.It's so awesome!!

[TheCookieMonsta117]

this song reminds me about an apartment that burned down at my building 1 day named 200

[crimsonkng]

this is a GREAT song

[AxeBoox]

genious lyrics!

[DramaQueenAllDay36]

memories.

[telperion123]

best song on this LP

[gravhammerman]

Funny the way it is... If you think about it..... That a band that tours something like 13 months a year, every year could find the time to write an entire album this amazing, this intoxicating.

[dcboy1913]

@gravhammerman I agree with u but not to sound rude but there are only 12 months in a year lol but I agree DAVE MATTHEWS ROCKS!!

[gravhammerman]

@dcboy1913 Yes there are only 12 months in a year. It was an exaggeration meaning that they tour a lot. They hit my town at least twice a year. I can't wait to see them again.

[dcboy1913]

@gravhammerman lol ok I didn't mean to sound like a nerd or jerk but I felt like u should now that lol yeah I know, he went where I am once so far so I am hoping once he returns I can actually get tickets

[MrJackieryanpatton]

this is the shit. old dave has always kept me listening :) and i never get tired

[RightGuyguy]

hey Dave Matthews is from Africa 

[MrDreadscythe]

No disrespect to Taylor Swift and her fans, but how did this album lose to Taylor Swift's album at the Grammy's last year?

[gravhammerman]

@MrDreadscythe I'm with You. The only reason I can think of is that it was released just a few months before the nominations. It actually was lucky to even be nominated (because of the timing). Had it been released just a little earlier I am confident it would have won.

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@MrDreadscythe Because the people who voted are mentally retarded.

[nuancesband]

listen to nuances nothing else matters (metallica cover)

[nirvanachuck]

Beautiful... everytime. damn you dave mathews you know how to touch everyone's hearts

[monkywithmachineguns]

14 people can go to hell

[lildrizzle101]

@monkywithmachineguns or they are already there. haha

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@lildrizzle101 I FUCKING HOPE!

[brown142536]

@lildrizzle101 omg 18 now we must save their souls :P

[livinontheline]

@lildrizzle101 funny the way it is eh? haha

[Bosparrow]

@lildrizzle101 They took the Highway to Hell. Classic rock songs forever!

[dcboy1913]

@monkywithmachineguns no 15 people can lol love DAVE MATTHEWS!!

[osorionancy]

@monkywithmachineguns 18 people can goo to hell now......well they can come with me

[LPmaniac123]

dear canada, thanks for drake..... but can you take that beiber kid back? the rest of america has GOOD music to listen to. rock out!

[gaaralee1234]

@LPmaniac123 Like what, Ke$ha, T-pain, Chris Brown?

In fact, the bad music to good ratio is much lower in canada, DMB, Pilot Speed, Sum 41, Nickelback (more tolerable than other bands at least). Personally I'm thankful for Beiber boy, at least now I have something to hate canada for.

[cammy379]

i love 1:48 to  2:14

[kev6848]

catchy

[Flareon8877]

This song is depressing. But I love it.

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@Flareon8877 Depressing?

You fucking tripping?

[ErinLMFAO]

I raped the replay button :P

[DreamzOfADeadman]

@ErinLMFAO

i hate people that rape the phrase - "rape the replay button"

[C1C0SS]

@ErinLMFAO you're implying the replay button didn't want it :P

[SEAhris]

Dave you have always captured everything that i believe in song......u are the most talented human on the face of the earth!!!!!!!!

[domssupermassive]

who in their right mind would dislike this song?! its poetic, catchy, and downright spectacular!

[trukrypto17]

This Should Have WAY More Views. Where Is Everyone? Still Dying From Bieber Fever? Good Music Right Here <3333

[LoveOutLoudTV]

Somebodys heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song.. </3

[crazygauds]

1:54 to 2:13 is my most favorite part of the song

[themortu]

@crazygauds mine too, but i also like 4:00 to 4:19

[thunder84103]

I really like this song. They played in my Humanties class. We used it to find the theme. Stll this is a really good song. When you think of it yeah it is weird. It make you really relize how good I have it and how good some of us have it.

[DrFortunecookie]

saw DMB live last night, and they were amazing.

[hann3rs3]

I already loved this song, but then I saw him play it live last night, and it managed to get even better. DMB <3

[NaughtGinger]

Love this one -lyrics are fantastic!

[tokiohotelmeineliebe]

This song in incredible!! Im only fourteen and I love the Dave Matthews Band! Most people i know have never even heard of Dave Matthews. I strongly encourage everyone to listen to his music because its absolutly breath taking. You can take every lyric to heart and thats why I love Dave Matthews!

[LostCallProductions]

You can insult any band, any genre, any musical group,

but you just don't fuck with Dave Matthews.

Endless respect, and RIP the Groo Grux King.

[gaaralee1234]

12 people...(insert insult here)

But no really, GREATEST SONG ON THE ALBUM

[Reviews7195]

@jjerkings2890 its physically impossible, jackass. stop with the trolling.

[arbitrarykid]

I can listen to this song all day... which i did. :)

[screamoisonmymind]

everything about this song is ballin

[1cookie145]

absolutely amazing and breathtaking

[SamanthaMerkz1999]

Fav part 'Standing on a bridgeWatch the watter passing underneathIt must have been much harderWhen there was no bridge just waterNow the world is smallCompared to how it used to beWith mountains and oceans andWinters and rivers and stars'

[atozluver]

AMAZING song! it is so true and sad that this realy happens in real life. we should be happy for the life we have cause someone has it worse

[fakyfiles]

why is it random comments like A kid walks ten miles to school, anothers dropping out gets 78 thumbs up?

[kelly123987]

@fakyfiles its part of the song..(1:36-1:40) and its a meaningful part because it's very true when you think about it

[fakyfiles]

@kelly123987 I'm very aware it's true, I just wonder why it gets 78 thumbs up.

[crossrunner2013]

@fakyfiles they re not random but lyrics from a part of the song. many people obviously like these lyrics and like what they are saying about how lucky people are and don't realize while others are slvaing to get it

[onionvolcano1]

21 people who like lady gaga and don't understand lyrics clicked the dislike button

[CuzWeWereBored]

@onionvolcano1 Lol dont mean to burst ur bubble but it's 12 not 21, impossible for 21 people to hate this :D

[onionvolcano1]

@CuzWeWereBored whoops, ya you are right!

[EnergizerBunny804]

straightforward, no real hidden meaning, but still genius

[evaengineer]

I love the hyperlinking you've done! Unique and convenient. Good song too.

[MrBigDude26]

if only the world would sit down shut up and listen to music

[reevertv]

"Someone's going hungry and someone els is eating out."

[ncxckyb24]

i seirously love this song so much. the beginning

music is sooo pretty. and the lyrics are so amazing.

i got chills when he played this at his concert <3

[Jimp474]

funny the way DMB puts out such a perfect sound!

[Twentyfitythrid]

@ally105677 i may sound stupid saying this but what does he mean when he says "somebodys heart is broken, it becomes your favorite song" i love this song. just want to know what that one line means

[TheApexKid]

@Twentyfitythrid look at how many songs out there are about heartbreak and romances gone wrong. and they get millions of hits. that's what it means.

@Twentyfitythrid that line means that when someones heart breaks and theyre upset and they write a song about it and it becomes such a great song...that favorite song came from the writers real broken heart...so "somebodys heart is broken, it becomes your favorite song" means that someones favorite song was written when the writers heart really was broken and feeling down :)
