I just received my Warehouse 5 Volume 10 in the mail. What's that, you ask? Well, when you belong to the Dave Matthews Band fan club, Warehouse, they send you a 5 song CD every year with a gift and some sort of picture or post card of the band. This year was Volume 10. They are always live songs from 5 different shows.
One of the songs on this year's compilation was "You Never Know". This song is off the album "Busted Stuff' which after the
Lillywhite Sessions debacle was pretty busted. On this album were cheap fast versions of songs that were way better on the Sessions. Busted Stuff was a wanna-be album, recorded in something like 40 days. Believe it or not, with Where Are you Going, this song was one of the only two new songs written for this album.
Listening to this song on W510 really brought back a lot for me DMB-wise. It was classic, and clean, and so meaningful. The lyrics in this song are so deep, but crisp and too the point. I feel anyone can relate to them on a life stand point. I truly believe that it is one of DMB's most underrated songs. For your reading pleasure I have put the lyrics in this post and a video for your viewing pleasure down below.
Sitting still as stone watching - watching
People walking by you wondering why
No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it – if they ever did
What if God shuffled by?
One day we might see
Doing not a thing
Breathing just to breathe
We might find some reason
But rushing around seems what’s wrong with the world
Don’t lose the dreams inside your head
They’ll only be there til you’re dead
Dream
Lying on the roof counting
The stars that fill the sky I wonder if
Someone in the heavens looking back down on me – I’ll never know
So much space to believe
Funny when you’re small
The moon follows the car
There’s no one but you see
Hey, the moon is chasing me
I worried if I looked away she’d be gone
Don’t lose the dreams inside your head
They’ll only be there til you’re dead
Dream
Walking through the wood
No cares in the world
The world has come to play
She’s all mine just for a day
There’s not a moment to lose in the game
Don’t let the troubles in your head
Steal too much time you’ll soon be dead
So play
All fall down
It won’t be so long now
Out of the darkness comes light like a flash
You think you can you think you can
Sometimes that is the problem
Dream little darling dream
Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb
But everyday should be a good day to die
Oh all fall down
It won’t be too long now
Every fire dies
I find it hard to explain how I got here
I think I can I think I can
Then again I will falter
Dream little darling dream
Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb
