[@MrLeagleEagle]

I simply happened upon this video tonight. Four views later I'm shuddering, remembering what the man is capable of, at such a tremendous level. And remembering how he shaped my youth for the better.

[@timothyfoote6658]

The future is no place to place our better days..... His songs can level you. If you can sit quietly and listen it's sooo moving. Haunting....And he sounds the same as the album from soo long ago. This song to me is a diamond. Really shows how deep he can go. This isn't a pop artist. His song "what would you say" is why I bought under the table and dreaming....after listening to the album, the window went down, and I tossed the album it didn't match that song at all! Few years later I realized what a mistake I had made. Here we are today 15 venues later for DMB and I got to attend 3-31-2003 it was unbelievable. Dave is my muse...gosh his catalog in unreal....and some fantastic music...covers that were better than the original...All along the watchtower....Even Bob Dylan said DMB did better with it...

[@deryckavyamaioli9154]

Thanks Janelle for requesting this one and thank you Dave for being Dave-giving the world beauty and healing, activism through love, reflection, and music. Stephen Biko and the spirit of all people who shine through this one, are alive in this tune...

[@dc.coutinho]

Dave still sounds as great as Luther College's show, in 1996, playing along with Tim

[@chrisclay4291]

Not true, only because the Luther College performance is his best performance ever!

[@tykejack]

@@chrisclay4291 I love Luther College but Radio City Music Hall is pretty legit, not gonna lie.

[@ericking2207]

one of my favorite albums

[@bryanfranco3943]

His voice has matured very nicely over the last 10 years or so. Way fuller, deeper sound. That said, the Luther performance of this song is still my favorite.

[@kellycanavan924]

You know I've been listening to this song for over 20 years and this is the first time I really "heard" the lyrics. Thank you so much Dave for all the love and light you place into the world. So beautiful.

[@jeffreysharp3234]

My first live show was '94 HORDE Festival. 57 live shows in total (so far) including Boulder '01, every show from '06-'10 at Alpine and all three days at Caravan Chicago. Just hearing Dave sing these to us over the internetz right now is almost as good as any of those, because it keeps us all connected. Once it's safe again- the first show back with the entire DMB Family/Community in attendance, whenever/wherever that might be, is gonna be one hell of a celebration 😎

[@dwoodard5717]

It's one of my favorite dave tunes

[@jesseclingan]

You took the words right out of my mouth...so true. This song says so much more in 2020 than it ever did to me. much love

[@jpc3984]

There’s something about Dave by himself that makes the songs come alive, watch any of the farm aid from early 2000s, songs are all just better.

[@EpicNole]

Still brings me to tears after all these years.

[@Zurcila]

Thank you Dave for speaking up for the people and children of Gaza 🤎🙏🏽

[@heathsyrny2762]

Dave concerts and music are one of my happiest places in the world. It brings me peace, joy, and always reminds me we are all connected.

[@gordonberger1809]

Wish this guy was my brother, my uncle, my friend, anything. Good people. Thanks Dave

[@JimWolf]

Choked me up. I always loved this song. It’s the payout at the end of an awesome album. An album that changed my life. Thank you Dave.

[@jeffreysharp3234]

It changed so many of our lives, brother.

[@shmoonuf2566]

This was my first love of this band, the lyrics. All about humanity ~ the good the bad and the ugly. When my son was 3 he used to ask, “Mommy is this a lovey song or a complicated song”? The human connection, looking at the reality’s of others lives, the madness of how we all have gotten to this place and what we need to do about it. Love one another is always the answer. Been a fan since 1998! The musical genius of the music is intoxicating!! Sadly we had first row tickets, a Dream come true on July 28, in North Carolina. Then Covid happened. But my loss is the least of the worries in this day & age! Keep doing what you do best, Dave & DMB! ~ with gratitude always one of your many fans. ❤️

[@dude4173]

It’s crazy how good he sounds.

[@mikeseakan4947]

no concert fatigue. sounds amazing

[@dude4173]

Matt Lucas ignore me! Misunderstood your post

[@Casperkurt2332]

I will be 42 may 23 this month and I've had dave and the band with such incredible talent in my life since 1995 and till present and I still can't listen to my favorite songs without getting chills and sheading tears of happiness.. I spread his poetry to all people that are closed minded to music.. I was like that in the much younger years. But than I really listened to music.. and I love all music with words of amazing power and force a chill through the soul. That's music.. I love this band so much.. Especially Dave with Tim renolds accoustic,,. I fall asleep to the melody till this day.. but now I have been listening to these songs from Dave's studio with him answering requests and I have to say that Dave Matthews is such a wise Noble kind-hearted wonderful soul . The Dave Matthews radio show is unbelievably moving .. I tried to practice some of the songs so I can play it like Dave himself but I'm not even close yet to being that good but keeps me playing the guitar every time I watch him play and with the radio station videos I can see better his fingers so I can play music to a love of my life that I'm still trying to find anyways Dave I love you to death bro keep doing what you doing and maybe one day I will be good enough to maybe play a song with you actually I probably be too nervous if you are the man and always have been can't wait till you come down to fort Lauderdale Florida again I have missed a lot of concerts because of life running on hard ground but things are starting to smooth out and a concert with Dave is exactly what I need in my life

[@MeherabadMoments]

Dave has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.

[@concessajean-marie5571]

Beautiful…. Soothes my soul!!

[@samanthapinkerton149]

You are the greatest man and musician ever. Proud to have your music to listen to. Beautiful ❤️, Samantha

[@leslieiglesias3621]

Not sure Why!! But this song has been playing in my head non-stop for 2 months, all day, it's so beautiful, captivating, haunting. Thanks for the request and for playing it DM. I am not sure if the Angels are sending me a message for it to be on perpetual playlist🤔

[@artmusicliterature9859]

Tears are flowing

[@billypetro1940]

Wow he knocks it out of the park! Sounds exactly like the album version!

[@enye1483]

Wonder if he saw the requests first and practiced.

[@vikasbhatnagar183]

Thank you Dave, thank you Lanelle. You are so right, this song has so much meaning I wish you the best

[@tpaul2112]

From deep inside where we are all confined!

[@averyhamilton4945]

He needs to break out the Strat more often. This was beautiful.

[@Romanellochw]

He made an interesting comment during the European tour a while back about the difference between American shows and over seas. He said in America the crowds are louder and talk too much for a quieter song. Basically said we don't listen to the songs so they need to be a little louder. Songs like this are a treat because we basically won't shut the hell up.

[@sandlapper9714]

Good Grief Goosebumps. I have been fortunate to see him and the band do this song live many times. This performance though....absolutely FLAWLESS.

[@itallcomesdowntonothing6246]

Dave’s best lyrically by far. The words are powerful and he sings it so beautifully.

[@christinanoyes849]

What's wrong with the two people that gave this song a thumbs down? Seriously!?! Such a beautiful heartfelt song.

[@maidenfan4927]

The tune that got me into this band ... 25 years ago .. killer version

[@yankshomer7267]

Thanks so much dave This is absolutely awesome All lives especially the repressed

[@Daniel-kd5xt]

Hi Janelle! I'm just somebody in some other part of the country on this planet as well as you and I too enjoy this song and it too has gotten me through some rough times in the past. Congrats on your call out being responded to

[@buddyrichrocks]

We...the people...should try to be good...and do good.... Thankyou for requesting sharing this incredible song...

[@crazytiedyemom84]

Never stop. Cant wait till dmb tour 2021 have my tix lol burggettstown,pa DaveMatthews4Prez2024

[@seagull41]

Always has been a beautiful song, but in the context of today and the state of our country and the hate that fills it, it brought tears to my eyes.

[@DawnSTyler]

Bless you Dave. You always make me feel so much less alone❤

[@msully76]

The future is no place to place our better days......

[@jasoncamacho4678]

Are behind us...

[@hugo311name9]

Wow!!!!! Thank You for requesting this Beautiful song. I LOVE this song.

[@SuzetteGardner]

Timeless beauty. Soul music!

[@hiplobonoxa]

what makes me ever more sad than fear and hate is that the solution to fear and hate is simple and it lies right within our reach, but for whatever reason, we refuse to grasp it. it's tragic that we don't just take it. it's right there. fear and hate could be gone by tomorrow. just take it.

[@bv5278]

hiplobonoxa as long as you continue to live your will and live for your ego, fear and hatred will never go away. Period

[@maximelia]

“Fools are we, if hate’s the way to peace”

[@michaelmolinaro8231]

Just learned this thanks to this video. Hoping to play it for my brother to heal his soul this Thanksgiving. Thanks, Dave.

[@iujj012]

Amazing! Love this song! Hope he plays it on tour again in 2021!

[@vikasbhatnagar183]

Mr Matthews, sir, thank you for the hope you inspire

[@leslieiglesias3621]

So beautiful!

[@brandonminiman]

Also thanks to SXM for doing this! Great content for subscribers ♥️

[@georgedaly9288]

Love her! ;] Beautiful!

[@b_tang]

Great version of this song

[@M75947]

Just wow. He is amazing.

[@Nate00084]

I get carpal tunnel just looking at some of these chords

[@dustinzimmerman]

They are tough at first but when you look st the notes and understand his thinking is very basic and simple. It's just presented in a different way.

[@jpruppert]

My goodness, that was so beautiful.

[@user-gn1cl9ix7p]

That was very very very very nice.

[@ggallant1]

Great song and so beautifully performed

[@carolineadjei8664]

Dave thank you for this song.

[@ENRIQUEGOITIA]

I would love to ask Dave to play when the world ends, a fan since I picked up guitar 15 yrs ago. Until now I can hard chords. Dave chords.

[@jeffreysharp3234]

Agree- wish they played that song more. Also wish that Let You Down would show up some Sunday night at Alpine, Gorge, or SPAC. Somewhere the crowd would appreciate it and it would have the time to be jammed correctly.

[@geoffreyharold]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE MATTHEWS!

[@christinamaria7249]

This song makes me feel like your somewhere out there listening....I’m that girl turned woman you sing about “figuratively” , and I appreciate you, much love from the Fire Dancer

[@scottmckenna]

Such a great performance. Sounded fantastic. Great mix and quality.

[@macewbee]

Wow he sounds great and 1st time I see him playing electric guitar.

[@Haphappy298]

Oh my. Transported to my much younger days.💔 #26yearsafan #nospringchicken #stillhottho

[@livefreeallways]

"It has frequently been observed that terror can rule absolutely only over people who are isolated against each other and that therefore one of the primary concerns of tyrannical government is to bring this isolation about. Isolation may be the beginning of terror; it certainly is its most fertile ground; it always is its result. This isolation is, as it were, pretotalitarian; its hallmark is impotence insofar as power always comes from people acting together, acting in concert; isolated people are powerless by definition.”Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

[@Snook_]

Really well recorded for a home stream.

[@kapinnn]

I think he can afford decent equipment. 😁

[@vikasbhatnagar183]

Hi Lanelle, I am sadly aware how late to I am to this, but I hope you are still doing well ..as welll and thanks for asking such a beautiful song

[@shmoonuf2566]

Perfect! And ditto!! 🥰

[@vikasbhatnagar183]

Ma'am thank you

[@briangurka8085]

great song. wish it was in the rotation more

[@41-DMB]

❤.

[@dpduke69]

What a treat. Nice Strat Dave.

[@NoeDactyl]

Thank you so much for this ♥

[@CaseyDarwin]

Such a great request and heartfelt performance.

[@harrydonovan2100]

Nice video and choice Lanelle...weird that we only get to see this dude on a computer or phone. kinda depressing but better than nothing at all. sounds great.

[@andybernard1135]

Damn. This is just amazing

[@FrankJMarr]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[@bspil1983]

That was pretty damn good

[@BigDaddy-vr2ut]

La’nell ?? Your a beautiful souls lady!! ❤️

[@HenryHart]

LeNelle M!!!!!!! It's been a while!!!! So good to see you! :)

[@martalewandowska7009]

To było piękne.

[@jenniferpytlik860]

It always makes me feel weird when Dave says I hope I do this right for you. Sometimes his fan complains when he changes it up in the venue and they miss their epic Air guitar moment.

[@danrebolledo8385]

Good request 🥰

[@RonaldKragnes]

@00:54 Song start.

[@cuuppaajoe]

I guess I missed my chance to send in my request. :( great rendition of this song!

[@brandonminiman]

Doesn't surprise me that DM has a baller home studio

[@MrMantis32]

And we dance away.....

[@guitarstuffs1236]

Woo :))

[@kaushal.kulkarni]

Unbelievable

[@TheOneRebekah]

Why does he say the future is no place to place our better days? Does he know something I don't?

[@marcusgonzales8715]

Live in the moment. Dont save your best days for the future.

[@MotorTorq_ZA]

Hands and feet are all alike. Yes Dave except the ones with bunions 😂😂

[@brammurti]

but gold between divide us...

[@JF-iq1yx]

Clarence Thomas has a twin sister?

[@yankshomer7267]

Take care of that shit today I’ll

[@phillyesq1847]

did you have surgery to be able to stretch your fingers to hit those Chords... its not fair to the rest of us guitarists out there.... Name of your surgeon please Dave

[@1mansscraps]

With the murder of George Floyd and the protests that have ensued, and the division that our country now finds itself in, this is the first song I thought of. The lyrics are a perfectly fitting cry for humanity to triumph.

[@redpillthinking6043]

Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization.
