Lyrics:
Lately I've been feeling low
A remedy is what I'm seeking
Take a taste of what's below
Come away to something better
What I want is what I've not got
But what I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And I'll say...
If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you
Take a Jimi Thing
Just to keep me swingin'
I'd like to show you what's inside
I shouldn't care if you don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Sometimes I walk there
Sometimes, God knows, I take a bus there
I should't care I shouldn't care bereaved as
I'm feeling
The day is gone I'm on my back
Starin' up at the ceiling
I take a drink, sit back and relax
Smoke my mind makes me feel
Better for a small time
What I want is what I've not got
What I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And I'll say
If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you

I think I’m on board with what you are putting out there to a certain degree...if you factor in live sound and performance and how good each member is at their craft...but there are a few others just as good or better...Tool being one of those bands (probably gonna get hate because they sound nothing like DMB). Tool has its own sound (just like DMB) and the reason is only great musicians can do that...Top it off...both Tool and DMB could possibly have the 2 best drummers in the world right now ... cheers!

Never letting go of DMB - love masquerading as lust, it’s equal parts dependence, autonomy, carving the need we all feel - way he made us collectively feel wanted in a way like air and water and light and life.

Good God why do I still F'n love DMB in 2019??? This music puts me in a trance the way no other band can... It brings tears to my eyes I just love it that much! My friends always made fun of me for loving it because I would always sneak one of their cd's in the stereo at our parties. Unfortunately I lost my DMB cd collection when my cd's were stolen. Ill get them again someday when I have the extra cash.

Hard disagree. I come for LeRoi's sexy butter solo at 6:00 and the hand off to Warren. Look at the pure joy in Carter's face to be drumming with Warren's solo. Look at Dave's face "He's nasty." But I do like the scat.

[@kellenkornegay7717]

Honesty, I feel like at 11:27 Warren was like "I just did that shit in Central Park in the heart of New York Fucking City." or maybe he was just really happy with the solo. The city and skyscrapers of NYC literally felt and heard that guitar.

And to their fans who really fuckin know how to have a good time.
