Dave Matthews Band: Run While We Can

[@poopingfondly]

this song had been soundchecked, and fiddled around with for about 5-6 years before it's debut, and it's freaking awesome, it just makes you wonder how many songs they have in the vaults that will never see the light of day.

[@LAW___ONE23]

😉😉😉

[@dude4173]

This song is just too good. I listen to this, Monkey Man, Cigarette Lit and Trouble with you all in a row. Thanks to those who upload this stuff!

[@W2ATL]

Greatest band EVER!!!😎

Facts

[@34AnneCarol]

Their music is always amazing. I'm addicted to it.

[@ericgriffith9408]

Absolutely love this song. I think people should live their lives based on the thought of this song, even though it was never officially released, GORGEOUS! BUT, one time my cousin and I were listening to this version after a joint or two, and the end of it sounds like “who farted, run away”... we both laughed historically for the 5 or six times we listened to it again that night. I really don’t know what they are saying, and I truly don’t care. If those were lyrics and the guys were having fun (they were all married and this was nothing more than a sound check) it reminds me of that scene in goodwill hunting. “My wife wife use to fart in her sleep”. It’s meant to be sweet, it’s meant to be innocent, and those types of things make you love someone that much more. There is no such thing as flawless, even though the world tells you there is. Great song, and I wish there were more songs out there that were as honest as this one is Always a pleasure to listen to.

[@Abbyd888]

🤣🤣🤣!! Too effing funny! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤣

[@sbrother3502]

its called break for it. it was played live during the summer tour of 2010 and soundchecked in 2006. Alpine Valley has an awesome live version on 7-4-10

[@shivaguest]

no one knows dave, you need to realize all of this is dave. life is dave.

[@beebg27]

been following the band for years, and listen to all bootlegs but NEVER have I heard this song. thanks for posting !!

[@charlieasoste]

Thank you so much for posting this! I've never heard this before and think that it is absolutely fantastic! I can't believe they haven't officially released this. It's up there with their best. This is yet another song that I wish I had written. Thanks again!

[@muddytoesgirl]

i just need to hear this tonight

[@MultiAmeoba]

over 10 years old, wow glad i found it great song.

[@buffalorapids]

im a dave-head and some how ive never heard this,...great just like all the others

[@zachyd]

its an IEM from a 2007 soundcheck. Stefan confirmed the song is called "Break For It", and not "Run While We Can".

[@ryguywolverine]

he played this on the 28th at the show in hartford. it was incredible

[@loganmohler737]

such a lovely band

[@FieldTripChaperone]

beautiful song. reminds me of the Idea of you in a way

[@loganmohler737]

yeah, I hear it, too

[@ricky8567]

beautiful recording. Thanks for sharing

[@StrawberryFields1421]

this is good stuff. these new songs they've been teasing with sound very lively with a celtic expression, such as "the idea of you," "shotgun," and "break for it."

[@fokisgaming5579]

This is so bizarrely underrated. I'm not sure i like the bridge that much but everything else is freaking amazing.

[@emilybrown5301]

"We accept the love we think we deserve" Everytime I hear this

[@jlpeaceout]

A true fan of DMB is going to take something from all songs that they put out, even some of the kick ass cover songs can have a new meaning just cuz of DMB!

[@091791jm]

they need to come out with an album with all of these rare songs im finding right now...and make it their next album, and put black jack on it too

[@emibrown6682]

[@NashwoodBand]

The song is called "Break For It" and will be on the upcoming album Madman's Eyes due out May 19th.

[@Laststopny2741]

Hypnotic

[@guitarstuffs1236]

This song is actually called "Break For It" haha

[@garebear75]

@13skinsfan69 I like that album. And all the others. I'll listen to Dave as long as he makes music.

[@razareg4866]

“Mr. Price, Mr. Price.” -DMB, 2021.

[@colinherzog8782]

That was so cool that he whipped out such a deep cut for those request shows. Hope he continues doing those, once the current tour wraps up.

[@Crush1998]

@dmbfreak19 thats a kickass song man. known that one for bout 3 years now.

[@groton27]

This is much better then the 07 Vegas Soundcheck.

[@tim33ny]

At 2:22 Dave trips on the lyrics...and shortly after at about 2:26 you can barely hear Stefan say "that's funny". Just making observations!

[@dude4173]

Nice catch! Although, I think it’s Carter, not Stefan.

[@dude4173]

Just seeing this comment again years later and had me think… it’s definitely Carter. Carter has a mic throughout all songs and often sings. Stefan never has a mic and never sings.

[@GavenYurisich-nu5zn]

Take theory. Into light I'm completely a display.

[@march22303act2]

Amazing! Another DMB song that says exactly what I'm thinking!

[@BrettJul1020]

love it

[@Dan52484]

Let's make a break for it baby!

[@AndrewBarbes]

where is ther other version on youtube it is better if remember right. please help me ive been looking for it for months and cant belive i found it now while writing a term paper

[@Taylor-444]

❤️

[@ChrisPetescia]

It's an IEM from soundcheck

[@npmaus]

I like the guitar riff.

[@calsavestheworld]

Is this called Run While We Can or is it called Break for It?

[@dude4173]

It’s called Break For It.

[@TheAzuncazunc]

Break for it from the Batson Sessions

[@AbsoluteAstronaut]

Easily the best unreleased song by DMB

[@W2ATL]

I'd have go with People People, this is a close second.

[@youenjoymyself41]

has plenty of potential.

[@fruitcake551133]

ive been looking for this for months, where can i find an mp3 version???

[@SeanRocks41]

pretty cool, but does need some work. where did you find this?

[@jamband41]

where did you get this?

[@stratinthehat0414]

anyone know he i could obtain o copy of this?

[@TheLurMan1]

I figured it out myself it's really not to hard...unfortunatley it's been a few months so I'd have to do it again :P but I do remember like the 12th fret around there with the fourth string. I'll have to figure it again!

[@70nebby]

i think the song is called break for it?

[@lordrunken]

yea same

[@crashjc86]

does anyone know where I can find the Tabs to this song???

[@eeixen]

where is this soundcheck from?

[@heatheraskew2949]

Isn’t this break for it ?

[@poopingfondly]

it actually is the violin, being plucked (like american baby)

[@filmtress]

This is a sound check. That's why you hear them joking in the second half with the lyrics "Who farted?" They can be silly at times.

[@daventim]

It's not who farted. It's "Ooh honey, hooooooooooooooooooney" repeat.

[@shwam17]

They need to fit a horn part in there to really make sound like a DMB song

[@smithgv]

dave twittered that its a soundcheck from 07

[@StrawberryFields1421]

agree, definitely need some horns to spice it up!

[@christinacdc1989]

Isn't there a song break for it?

[@havenoliduponmyhead]

+CChristian Ratto that is this song. def an iem from a sound check supposedly.

[@tim33ny]

+CChristian Ratto Some of their songs evolve and change over time....either they are the best to ever pick up instruments or I am a huge tool....or both.

[@groton27]

Yes. This was recorded at soundcheck before the Vegas 07 shows. The night before the shows they sound checked in the arena and a fan got lucky to be in there/ at the doors?

[@Yoshi.KUPPOO]

the sesionersmarty

[@mistadobalina29]

vegas 07 night one

[@pvtvitoguido]

[@bellarattan8333]

[@incyourbus1]

@buffalorapids true like shit same

[@Ezhuks]

You're sure this is what they sing ? :)

[@kastmaster11]

And why would I do that... sit on it!

[@Spreadlove5683]

@L1Lpudd1nTAT3R go to yahoo or stay on youtube and search for something like "youtube to mp3 free converter"

[@deedisdone]

Who farted, iiiiiiiiiiiii did, who farted, iiiiiiiiiiiii did, who farted?

[@beebg27]

@TEEDUB2440 yeah well, it wouldn't be the first time i missed something sitting right under my nose.

[@mistadobalina29]

@fruitcake551133 dontburnthepigDOTorg they've got all the gems my friend

[@BasicConcepts93]

play at 1.25 speed!

[@LAW___ONE23]

😶‍🌫😶‍🌫😶‍🌫

[@dmb2368]

i love dave and think tis song is sick but at the end when they're singing in the high pitch, it sounds like "ahhhhhhh ahhhh yeah, who farted?"

[@seanegan3296]

This song will never be the same again

[@dixoncassara]

balal habb

[@youenjoymyself41]

Not true. I loved Roi just as much as any dave fan, if not more, but this sounds better than the vegas.

[@Dan52484]

at the end: ahhhhh who farted?

[@Orlandomcj]

@timsox6 It's actually not.

[@branscombe_]

This will be taken down soon

[@gmoore4th]

almost sounds kind of 311-ish.

[@onesweetdmb]

settle down.

[@PaperPlanesTGOD]

the quality is super bad..

[@dmbenjamin1415]

I think this is a very cool song, but needs some work...mainly on a jam at the end instead of saying "Don't run away...who farted???"

[@michaeljkrall]

obviously not the real drum track. Carter would never hold back like that

[@groton27]

your a bad fan Katie your suppose to hate this ;)

[@jbdmb]

who farted?

[@heyshug2003]

I don't believe this is an authentic DMB song. The guitar and drums sound like beginners were playing it. I think it sucks just my opinion

[@dude4173]

Cool story.

[@peytoncarlan6235]

What 😂

[@Yougimpytube]

This is actually called "Break For It" Sorry if we already knew that.
