In revisiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame– Dave Matthews Band discography played during this 2024 fall tour, this little treat from the Some Devil release was included in the encore in Columbus.If you’ve been to a DMB show, you will know that Dave usually plays the first song of the encore as a solo. He started the tour with Sister, but on this second night of this short little tour, he jumped into Oh. He told the story of it being a love song noting how his grandparents were back in his little Dave days.
It’s only fitting that we discuss the state of the world in 2024 vs 1994 when I was in high school a fight was a fight. Bullying happened IRL and not 24/7 on the web. We did not have evening news programs keep track of the number of school shootings year to date-109 as of yesterday. It’s November and most students are preparing for holiday concerts and winter break, but every student today practices the reality of an active shooter situation so they would be prepared just in case. Every workplace now has active shooter training to be prepared just in case. While we we are the country that was founded by our right to bear arms, we’ve managed to put arms in the hands that may not be fit to bear them.
The world is blowing up
The world is caving in
The world has lost her way again
But you are here with me
But you are here with me
Makes it ok[Verse 1]
I hear you still talk to me
As if you’re sitting in that dusty chair
Makes the hours easier to bare
I know despite the years alone
I’ll always listen to you sing your sweet song
And if it’s all the same to youI love you oh so well
Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow
I love you oh so well
Enough to fill up heaven, overflow and fill hell[Pre-verse]
The world is blowing up
The world is caving in
The world has lost her way again
But you are here with me
But you are here with me
Makes it ok
Oh girl you’re singing to me still
