How LEGAL BATTLES Led To The Dave Matthews Band's Song #41  

I think old age is getting to Dave because he definitely told Rolling Stone it was about his split with Ross Hoffman back when it was released 😂

​@@UncleRicoOSUor he just doesn't want to bring up the conflict again especially after all this time.

I think he says that stuff to people who interview him bc he doesn’t want to get into details anymore. He’s too old for that now. He doesn’t want to get tangled into it again

The song sounds like sex.

​@nicolephillips2312 he's said as much over time. I've read that he said he's not going to talk about 41 anymore, but people still has, so he either skates around it or makes something up.

I was there OMG YES

When I heard Two Step for the first time, I was hooked. Then #41 bled into Say Goodbye, and it was a wrap! So talented, all of the band!

Same here man 41 does somthing to me every time it’s played live

Well, the artists still own it as they created it. The people possess it in a different way. I like how your essay is about the changing relationship everyone has with music.

I took a piss off the roof of the then Pink Warehouse, just 8-9 days ago

Was that his old guitar tutor that helped him come up with new chord shapes?

It's their best show, 4sure.

I always thought it was about a love relationship

That’s from live at Luther college????? Taking a guess bc I’ve heard those words uttered many times but can’t remember which live album lol

Don't Drink the Water

Where can I find that please?!?

@@ThestuffthatSaralikes I gave it an update and it's now up! It was just acoustic guitar, now it has more of those DMB sounds ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iUT-gUyg1Dc.html&ab_channel=The90sChildMashups

Yeah this what I came here to say. How can they explain this defunct version that came before #41, something doesn’t match up here.

I would say that his interviews and sound clips from 25 years ago probably were correct in the original meaning of the song, and Dave has long forgotten it or moved on from those feelings, so he no longer attaches a particular meaning to the song. Also artists tend to get tired of talking about song meaning or stories behind songs, so they say they dont know what its about.

That’s huge speculation brother. I’m just relaying what Dave has said as of 2023. And that is that the song has no meaning. There’s nothing more to speculate.

@Philip Hopper Not really speculation that for years he told the story that is relayed in the video. Also in that GQ interview, when speaking of #41 he mentions how he likes the idea that once you put a piece of art out there, you don't own the meaning anymore. That statement lends itself to the idea that he has long forgotten the emotions behind the song. Anyway, no reason to debate, but good to talk about stuff like this.

The idea that art loses its intended meaning when you release it to the world is not a new idea and not unique to Dave. RECENT interviews Dave talks about the song having no meaning. Why are you hinting on what he’s said in the past? You’re choosing to believe a certain narrative that directly contradicts what Dave has literally just said only a few months ago.

@Philip Hopper When looking at something you did 30 years ago, do you have a better memory of why you did what you did now, or would you have been able to better explain the circumstances 28 years ago when it was fresher in your mind? The song was written almost 30 years ago, and since that time Dave's life has completely changed in almost every aspect, and I'm sure his emotions about the song have changed. If someone asked him about something like Halloween, do you think he would go into detail about his proposal being turned down three times and being frustrated by the situation? Probably not. He would probably say something similar to what he said about #41, as he has completely moved on from that part of his life. Point is I would think his comments about the song in the 90's were probably closer to the true meaning behind the song than his comments in one interview 30 years later after he has played the song almost 1,000 times in concert.

Oh so that's what you think? Okay.🤣😎✌️

@@Taylor-444 go to bed . 🤡

@@HappyLife-vh2ey troll. The band is obviously talented, even if you don’t like them. They’re like a musician’s kind of band. Same with tool, very orchestral.

👹🧌 Comments troll. Go touch grass.

Yet you somehow managed to end up on a video about them. And you’re subscribed to a bunch of fascists, so carry on.

False. I rank them up there with Zeppelin, that's how good they are, or at least were at some point.

They have the highest concert ticket sales number in the USA, doubt that would be possible if they are as bad as you think.

😂

Says somebody who clearly doesn't understand what Good Music or a Great Band is, lol.

Right. Haha. Agree.
