Can you imagine being a young Dave Matthews saying, "Self, let's try writing a song for the first time", and this comes out of you? I mean I've been impressed with some of the dumps I've taken, but Dave must have REALLY been impressed with himself!

[@rebeccakrupp859]

This was the song my husband and I danced to at our wedding. He just sent me this link. It is our 10 year anniversary today. Happy anniversary Justin dreffs!!

[@JeanClaudeCorcoran]

This was my wife's and my song as well. Now it only brings me tears.

[@marinstefan9918]

who is still pure enough at heart in 2021 to enjoy and feel this song? such a great Soul Dave is

[@reodealmakers]

When I first heard this song, I was studying for a test all night, and never fell asleep. I bought this song on my ipod, and played it literally the entire night, till seven in the morning. That day after the test, I went to the best Dave concert I have ever been to.

[@Vercingetorix.Fantasia]

Awesome man

[@liliadepaula3932]

One of the most beautiful songs in the world ...

[@ryanoconnell9598]

It is!!! Not bad for the first song he ever wrote

[@jessicabisceglio1165]

I don’t care if this makes me basic, or a fan of music in poor taste. I love this song, I love this artist, and I love how their songs have always made feel.

[@fedbumoz987]

You would know :)

[@briangurka8085]

Such an underrated dave song. One of the first he ever wrote!

[@Daveskee]

The ability to be able to play this song in an arena and immediately bring thousands of people out in the stands right next to him in a quiet, soulful intimacy might be Dave Matthews' most powerful gift as an artist - even more than his incredible talent as an instrumentalist and songwriter. I can think of few other performers with that power. What a gem.

[@janetscoggan1154]

This exceptional song was part of my husband's funeral service and it was beautiful.

[@tomz5561]

Was at this show...absolutely STUNNED when Dave started playing this

[@alexboushka1261]

This is a great version of a beautiful song. It’s the reason the band got together!

[@lovelyleslie41]

So in love with this song. Cried the first time I heard it live.

[@Prophecy23JC]

This song makes you happy to be alive, and ready to die at the same time.

[@MeggyMichelle]

Words cannot describe how much it would mean to me if you would send this version of this song to me. This is my favorite version of my number one favorite song ...

[@MrTeddycozmik]

send me your email and i can hook you up! its nice to have on my mp3.

[@kcolly1]

i have a contemporary dance to this song and it has to be the easiest dance ive ever been able to "feel". the words create such a deep feeling and drive the movement effortlessly

[@filmtress]

Wow, his voice is still so very clear and sound just as young as it did when he sang it in the early days. Much to my surprise I didn't think he could still do that due to age, wear and tear of his vocal chords through the years. He's definately blessed. Thanks Dave for that and thank you BestIntentions.

[@itqitc]

I was at this show with the man I was meant to marry. RIP SJR

[@michaelspallek5692]
