Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me

Live at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey on September 11, 1999.

[@erictravis6128]

In one song Dave combines a love story, sexual fantasy, perversion, beautiful analogy, children's nursery rhymes, and ingeniously creative guitar work into one of the most amazing pieces of music ever written. Like all of his songs it gets sweeter with age and never falls victim to changing music interests because it is so completely original. Despite being one of his most mainstream songs it lacks nothing.

[@eck2x]

So true :)

[@Aussie-Assna-Spuds]

No one ever described this song so completely like u did. Good on you.

[@smellysocky5770]

It took 20 years for someone to crush or crash this song so perfectly

[@buttermouthful]

this is the best story/ truth written about this journey of a song

[@fulvail1660]

Dave mattwes bad

[@consciouspromise4688]

I feel like true fans come here and listen to this whenever they think they are about to fall in love. 🌍👍

[@KennyGStud]

I swear I can listen to this a Billion times, it never gets old. CRASH INTO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :-D

[@hcinep]

I first heard this song in the car when I was about 10 years old And I could feel that special someone out there.. Been with her now for 11 years. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of that. even though I really didnt know what the lyrics was about then i could feel the magic.

[@44standaman]

The Second half of this song when every musician just goes all out gives me chills every time. Creates such a magical moment in the song / on stage.

[@KyJack13]

Gotta wonder how many 16 kids are on this earth because of this song. God bless DMB!!

[@Thisizmyname]

September of 1999, and not a single person had a phone out in that crowd, just all eyes and ears, like it was meant to be.

[@charlvandermerwe5883]

Eventhough i am frm South Africa where Dave is from....i was introduced to DMB on my visit to USA in 2002...no music collection is compltet without their these guys...

[@sheamalvasio2832]

definitely one of the greatest love songs ever written in music history,in my opinion

[@emil.pinarch]

Shea Malvasio this is not a love song. It's about a voyeur watching a girl at night at ber bedroom window. Look it up.

[@cablevamp3163]

Emil Pinaroc it’s kind of an interpretive song...

[@ashleyolsen4547]

yes it is about creeping on a neighbor through the window but songs are open to interpretation.

[@bimapringgo]

@@emil.pinarch So? How is that make this not a love song?

[@nicotinedealer7653]

@@cablevamp3163 Dave Matthews literally said this in one of his interviews

[@2112limelight]

This song reminds me of driving in my cold truck to high school and all I thought about was this girl. I played this song on repeat, and thought of her. and I Still do

[@whitneysanders1310]

I may only be 16 but I know good music when I hear it and this is song is just brilliant I am such a big fan of Dave Matthews

[@whitneysanders1310]

Jim Gindele Defiantly! I agree completely!

Love looking back at concerts in the 90s & very early 00s & not seeing one single smartphone in the air. This crowd during this concert... pure bliss!

[@hiIMbeau]

Still gives me goosebumps even after all these years!

[@nickfury5339]

[@nosay2930]

That's so cool, never give up playing. No matter what you do with your life, keep music a part of it, it will define who you are. Love and Light.

[@EricBryant]

that drummer and that bassist are ridiculous

[@dylanmajoos1861]

+Eric Bryan I'm pretty sure that the style of this song is due to Dave's South African upbringing.

[@MarkNtoledo419]

bassist was way off in the intro.

[@EricBryant]

Oh I meant my comment as a compliment!

[@pradheesandeepana]

Eric Bryant I know right it was the best thing to get a black drummer specially 😮❤️

[@tiberiusclaudiusnerogermanicis]

Yea Carter is an animal on the drums

[@Devibas]

I was turned on to this song by someone who I gave my heart to unfortunetly....I can hardly listen to it now and playing it on my guitar about makes me cry thinking about her .....good song though amazing musicianship

[@alhuggins3646]

no offence to my "virginian" friends but you're listening to the best that ever came out of your beautiful state. what an artist!!

[@catdog69ish]

Al Huggins wasn't Patsy Kline from Winchester Virginia

[@DeoVindice_61-65]

Except, that Dave Matthews is actually South African. That's his true home.

Guns, Muscle Cars and More .. think that's why I always felt like I am seeing Hanse cronje... Respect...

[@toddgeib8479]

I thought he’s from South Africa???

[@ashleyolsen4547]

Dave is a native of south Africa, his family settled in Charlottesville arter its even been discussed by LeRoi in aol sessions before Dreamgirl how Dave had a sound that they couldn't explain and it was a South African vibe coming out in his music.

[@Surfgypsy52]

I am absolutely BROKEN! I will never recover from all of this!

[@jazmynpooler4296]

grew up on dave Matthews band, they have great classic songs. this is deff a favorite!

[@MusicByEdith]

Never understood why as a young kid I had such a connection to this song. I loved it with every bit of my heart. Some of my most vivid memories from my child hood is me and my mom driving around the city on a beautiful day with the convertible top down while this song plays. Such beauty and peace. Makes me so emotional to listen to it now. Thanks Dave :))

[@chalandlerbong217]

Garo Frawley from 2000-2010 the band was the highest paid/grossing touring band in the country.. for a whole decade..

[@johnparrigon]

Every studio album debuted at number 1. They toured non-stop for 25 years, took a year off and went right back to it. In the off years Dave made several solo appearances. Even the greats (I mean big name greats) haven't kept that kind of schedule and that level of popularity for that length of time.

[@timothyholcomb8494]

This is the song that made me fall in love with DMB soooo many years ago,and I'll be here for many more

If every DMB song was as well written and performed like this one, with a beautiful tune encompassing every ounce of passion and emotion entwined together, keeping you interested in every single beat...DMB would be one of the greatest bands in the World. But they don't and it's a shame, and America is as far as they will really go, failing to live through generations as great bands do due to not producing "great" songs. Still, this is a great song and a great performance to match. Boyd on tiptop
