8 - Captain - Dave Matthews Band DMB - Lillywhite Sessions - Track -08- Captain

(Captain)The Lillywhite Sessions (LWS) is a collection of songs recorded by Dave Matthews Band in 1999 and 2000 and produced by Steve Lillywhite. The songs, recorded by the band as a follow-up to their 1998 album Before These Crowded Streets, were ultimately scrapped by the band. This is frequently attributed to pressure from RCA executives to wrap up the sessions and release an overdue (per contract), upbeat album (the LWS were considered on the darker side by RCA).[by whom?] Upon abandoning the album-in-progress, Dave Matthews was assigned to work with producer Glen Ballard who, in association with Matthews, wrote the album Everyday in just ten days. This contrasted with the band's prior style of writing, which included significant collaboration between the band members in the studio. The recordings later emerged on the internet shortly after the release of Everyday, and created controversy among fans as well as the music industry, which was early in its campaign to curb illegal file downloads. The Lillywhite Sessions were never released.

I freaking love this version.

[mithebikeguy]

the3blues - this just rocks.  Thanks for posting all these tunes!

I looked forward to this song since 1997 when I heard it on a live recording as a work in process. This version gave me chills when I first heard it after downloading the Lillywhite sessions. The Busted Stuff version is okay but nothing compared to this version. This marked the end of DMB songs as we knew it and what a way to go out.

"Why should I be hypnotized by the promise of a long life..." One of my favorite lines out of any song...

[kissmusiclover]

We can I buy this release.

This is even older than the LWS. I have it from some taper CDs from years before LWS.. I remember the lyrics were slightly different, particularly that it went like this, "eyes, eyelids and kissing lips" instead of how they did it here. I always loved this one, and I really wasn't into what they did to it for BS.
