Dave Matthews - Sister

[citrix99301]

Is this a high-tuned guitar, or a regular guitar with high-b tuning?

[landrr3]

anyone know what kind of guitar that is? i.e. so that he can tune it so high and the strings don't break?

[ameindel]

If you have a sister and don't cry when you hear this song then you need to have your pulse checked.

[jblac724]

just take the song for what it is. let him be the judge all you need to do is absorb.

[09davidc]

this song was wrote cause his sister was murdered by her husband

[AZtwoNE]

@09davidc ur right.. what idiot gave u a thumbs down? It happened it Africa somewhere...yeah! Thats two to one!!!

[kadleckyle]

nope, wrong sister. yes anne was murdered but this is about jane

[AZtwoNE]

I dont think I mentioned a name..

..Soooo, read, and absorb the sentence and then reply. That might be a two to one.

[kadleckyle]

@AZtwoNE i did read, 09davidc said that this song was written because of his murderd sister and then you replied "ur right"

you were wrong, that is not why the song was written. therefor i DID read and you just look like an idiot

[AZtwoNE]

@LittleKyle. You probably know what kind of underwear Dave wears too huh? I dont really care which sister it is. Just listen to the music. Hey kyle, do you also know that your voice sounds like you're mildly retarded? And your rendition of Jack Johnson was like two monkeys trying to fuck a VCR?

[kadleckyle]

hahaha yeah there pretty bad i never claimed they were anygood haha. there also from a year ago when i just started playin guitar, maybe ill make some new ones just for you.

and it really has nothing to do with the fact of there names, was only correcting you because you were straight up wrong.

p.s. there green with pink spots

[ndirish1359]

@kadleckyle he's right. he has a couple songs for jane.

[MrCopperhead1861]

He has two sisters this about one still living.

[rileyaw03]

No it wasn't.  It's about his sister Jane, not Anne.

[09davidc]

@rileyaw03  i didnt say the name i said his sister

[budsom2]

this isnt exactly true. I mean i am sure Anne his sister who passed is in his mind here as well, but this song had a little more direction pointed at Jane. Jane gave him a little motivation to start writing good/great lyrics again as dave went thru a little dry spell. But i guess you could say its 50/50 for both of them

[roysboy23]

It's actually a song about his other sister Jane...not Anne who was the one murdered by her husband

[mikeholst86]

I cant believe the people werent completly quiet for this song, you can hear the peoples talking in the back ground, how disrespectful to such a gifted artist

[kevinwheeler2]

nah i dont think its disrespectful they probably didnt even think about it. if someone was yelling that would be disrespectful

[mainer0]

this song is so beautiful, dave is amazing. hands down

[Crossrage13]

He does get better at this song. When at Radio city hall he nailed this song.

[modestlace]

this song makes me cry every time i hear it. its amazing

[LiveMusicly]

omg me too i start bawling evertime i hear it

[farscaper2]

he performed this song with Tim Reynolds last year in Amsterdam... d*mn, you could hear a pin drop... and that's just what a song like this deserves!

actually during most of the songs it was quiet as hell

[gretschguitars13]

This song is just musical genius this man is an amazing artist

[bigdj2010]

people talk during dave shows because they are so relaxed and laid back especially when he is doing a solo acoustic show. Dave shows are the best concerts to go to because of the atmosphere...so get use to people talking in the back of the recordings.

[Austrailian4Beer]

Who cares what sister it is about. I think it's for both. If the song was titled, "Brother", the message is still the same. Family is #1. Love your sisters and brothers and thank them for being a part of your life. Because without them it would never be the same.

[bornsnyder]

yepp! thats what we discussed earlier :) someone asked what happened to his older sister...

[coxdk1]

I first heard this song at his concert in Noblesville, Indiana and I instantly loved it... Very very good song. I love what he does with guitar in this song....

[robotchickengal]

good song, makes me sad

[Dan14911]

that made me dry like a baby......im away at college and i miss my little sister like crazy i couldnt imagine if she were taken from me......she is still here and sometimes i feel like this

[Happyloser21]

Dave is the only musican ever that makes me want to laugh and cry all at once. Beautiful.

[bornsnyder]

its about his younger sister jane... the one who was murdered was his older sister...

[realtinkerbell]

murdered in africa right?

=(

[bornsnyder]

Right! She was killed by her husband. Sad story.

[realtinkerbell]

seriously makes me cry everytime i hear this song.

[Petesheeah]

its about jane tho, not the one that was tragically murdered :(

[Petesheeah]

its about jane tho, not the one that was tragically murdered :(

[realtinkerbell]

at alpine valley i sang this to my sister and it's just an unbelieveable song.

[baswinfo]

not about that sister its about the other sister that is still alive

[baswinfo]

Jane was not murdered it was Anne this song is about Jane alot of people think its about Anne but rather Jane

[spaz140]

this is so sad

[beaverduke]

the crowd is indeed insanely awful. They forgot accidentally that they are at a Dave concert. Respect should be inevitable.

[Zoltarswim]

I totally agree. He played this at SPAC on Friday. It is such a tender song, and everyone is just chatting it up...

[kevmehl]

ive noticed the more dave shows i go to the more people talk throughout the whole fricken thing

[jimahs37]

the crowd is awful

[punkuzz900george]

why are they awful??

[punkuzz900george]

i take back my comment, now that i consider myself a die hard fan (sorry XD) listening to the crowd chatting all the way through his performance...laughing....its almost as if he's back in a pub again...no one really cares. I can't believe them.....it makes me sick to be honest. XD

[duster1333]

this song helps me chill out when i get pissed at bitchy little... helps me relieze i dont hate her and would miss her terriblly if she was gone forever.

[med324engine51]

[Shrubbs]

I feel the same way about my little sisters

[FleaFunkFan69]
