[veraduerga]

[arasu90]

I like smoking Dave when listening to weed.

[madman2]

@arasu90 hahaha that actually made me laugh! peace

[TAYLORHWALL]

heard this earlier today & it was love at first sound

[arasu90]

Oh damn. That gave me so much freaking chills.

[PorroFirst]

Sensational

[gasperfam]

Just makes it all feel better. No matter what. You are amazing, Dave.

[DmB4LiFe420eL]

Dave's verses just melt me away...... simply amazing!!!!

[MrMusicevolution]

Respect

[bbr89]

Dave sounds great on this. Rest of the song is practically unlistenable.

[Rebelconformist82]

@bbr89 no you just have no soul obviously

[rausclass19]

Alice in Wonderland

[jckirkman]

Love it!!!



[Syboltleffert]

What do you guys think this song is about?

[JerseyChi]

@Syboltleffert Politics.

[WatchinYou22]

Why show a suburban American kid running through the forest? This video is an insult to the great culture of Mali.

[sammystyles]

@WatchinYou22 Because we're all the same. I know you'd prefer your African musicians represented by only the most ethnographically correct African children, but you don't know anything about the children in this video. How do you know they're suburban? How do you know they're American? Was it the chip on your shoulder that gave it away?

[DmB4LiFe420eL]

@WatchinYou22 dude you have the wrong picture of whats really going on in this video..... look at the title of the song and then watch the video again

[mazarakivillage]

I'm traveling...

[hflsmg17317]

I want to teach myself this song, and try to sing at least dave's parts, but whats funny is when i was listening to it to get the lyrics, I kept on getting lost in the song and would forget to write them down.

[savino0123]

song's gotta be about dave and vieux's reaction to obama's presidency so far

[austyrod]

soooooooooo looking forward to the DMB Caravan @ Governors Island.

[TheDmbfanforever]

....love this. So much.

[goblueram]

I am going to the Dave Matthews Band Caravan just to see Vieux perform

[kschwarz0229]

Gripping melody, love the tune, have to, our daughter was in it, Thanks!

[folly5girl]

[thicomth]

Beautiful! The video reminds me "Antichrist" from Lars VonTrier. Great job!

Where was it shot?

Congrats!!!

[MHQ5589]

It might taste sweet, but its a wicked game...

[underthedreamingtree]

LoVE

[Godess1971]

This is a Vieux Farke Toure song Dave just sings on it . he didn't compose or write this song or play any instruments on this song . Vieux is the amazing one

[sob898]

@Godess1971 Actually, in the liner notes it lists "All The Same" as being written by Vieux Farka Touré and Dave Matthews.

[Godess1971]

@sob898 True but this song is completely African originated . it sounds like Vieuxs other songs. the comments on here are praising Dave Mathews.With no mention of the true master or homage to his incredible talents . sorry I'm super partial to African Music . hey at least peter gabriels big mouth isn't on it . Dave is ok I suppose . to each his own :)

[sob898]

@Godess1971 Agreed. It is very much a VFT song. Dave Matthews music has roots in many different styles, including African. Dave is, after all, from South Africa so he was exposed to many styles of music.

[VladimirZov]

@Godess1971 I totally agree with you. It's good that DT's fans show their appreciation for him and it'd be fair if they also acknowledged Vieux's incredible talent. Great track, btw.

[Leanne2154]

great song....Dave is the best vocal interpreter ever.....fucken great

[mamarazziband]

Wonderful performances!

[mikevleigh]

perfect

[jamesbuddy63]

Just smoked a bowl. This song will be on repeat for awhile. Dave just melts me.

[TAYLORHWALL]

@jamesbuddy63 hahaha this comment rules. i can completely relate.

[jacksondannielle]

The video reminds me a bit of "Where the Wild Things Are."

[Leanne2154]

@jacksondannielle do you mean the childhood book.it's a classic?



[jackdaniels5445]

@Leanne2154 i think the book "lord of the flies" fits a little better, just sayin

[jacksondannielle]

@Leanne2154 Yep, the book :)

[RantingThespian]

Wonderful song, and Dave's voice melds perfectly with it too. Also, the video here is very nicely done. I like it.

[lefevers4]

You got to loveDave Matthews style.

[supersheila]

What a beauty! She never said she was working on a music video. And showing off her long legs is such a good idea! . . . I'm so proud. Aren't you? Is she? She did a perfect job (no surprise there!) Kewl

[pwrnyc]

Very eerie and beautiful; what talented young people!

[artery11]

Wow! Love this. That little girl is gorgeous! And I bet she can sing, too!

[goblueram]

Interesting video. Great song and album.
