Busted Stuff
Finally got Dave Matthews Band's new album Busted Stuff which completes the revisions of material from the Lilywhite Sessions. It's amazing how much of a better album it is than DMB's last album, Everyday which was interesting but contained a lot of songs that sounded whiny from both a musical and moral philosophical standpoint. The singles are great, but they're about the same quality as the rest of the album. "Bartender" is incredibly good, simple, and rich, with a lot of Dave effects on the back end. In honor of this super album, I'm going to put down my favorite things about the lyrical philosophy of this album.
6. When we are lonely, our chief wish is often to have had our beloved back for one last night, though the desire divides us against ourselves, a part of us will always want them back. So strong are the bonds that form between us in these worlds.
5. You always want to go in the same direction as your beloved even if it's embarassing. With me, it's embarassing.
4. Each generation is always torn between their desire to go their own way and their sinking feeling that they should repair the wrongs of their ancestors.
3. Sometimes, contemplation is the true seizure of the day.
2. I detect a note of St. Peter Damian in "Grey Street", "There's a stranger speaks outside her door/ Says take what you can from your dreams/ Make them as real as anything/ It'd take the work out of the courage. " If the last verse isn't about faith, I don't know what it is about. Too bad all she can say is, "There's a crazy man outside of my door."
1. God is a bartender (Or as Richard from FOCUS once put it, God came to Earth to party.) I actually think Dave understands the bartender element of God better.
