I have always found Dave's songwriting so sensual. The way he seems to write in stream of consciousness and the way the band just backs up the lyrics beautifully with their music...its amazing and there is so much longing and desperation in their performances. Greatest, most talented and tight band I have ever heard.
So my best friend since we were 13 is a guy .. we were in early 20s when this song was big...we listened...we decided to take it's advice after hearing everyone says for years that we belong together.. neither of us was single .. anyway... We are now both happily married to other people and about to turn 47 and still friends 🙂 anytime this song comes on we share a secret ....thanks Dave ♥️
I never comment on videos, especially of just audio, but MY GOODNESS. Chills, all over. Every. Damn. Time. "oh don't you wish, just for this evening ... let one night's sweet love begin with a kiss".
i was in the audience... in the front row after being upgraded. the first concert for me and the best show for me...after 25+ shows. it was pure magic for me. great song. thank you.
Have seen DMB 72 times and only got to hear Say Goodbye live a handful of times...by far my favorite DMB song...Leroi will be sorely missed, he was HALF THE BAND!! I have not seen them since 2007, just before Roi passed away and I heard the LAST FULL BAND VERSION OF SAY GOODBYE EVER at Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre in Irvine California...Was truly amazing!! I haven’t seen another DMB show since Leroi passed and I probably never will. I want to remember them the way that they were when they had Roi and even creepy Boyd...oh the good old days...anyway, just wanted to say again, that DMB is MY favorite band EVER, and will go down as one of the greatest band to ever grace the music industry!! May be the best live performers out there!! Hands down, period, end of story... take care everyone, and be good to each other!! 😊
This was probably the first song that made me stop and really listen! I love the band, have seen them many times, but this song always gives me chills!
this version is actually from 7/5/2000 Comerica Park. the cd incorrectly labeled it as 7/25/2000 Denver. This is one of my favorite songs and this is a great version.
Just got the chills.....to all the lady friends who know very well that this song is perfect for us.....lova ya all dearly and even though we have gone separate ways......know I hold you all dear to my heart......love those one nights and cherish those moments
They definitely put on the best show I've ever seen. They play for the crowd every single time I've seen them in concert. And I've been lucky enough to see them five times.
WOW!!! Dave just sings all the right words!! Everytime I see her, I hear this song in my head. I doesn't help that she once told me that this is her favorite DMB tune. Why does she have to be married to a jerk? Some day Samantha ........
These are the best moments! I get chills just reading your comment because I have felt that same feeling a few times with a few different song. :) Finally going to the Gorge next year.
I stumbled upon this searching for a live video version of this song. Says "best version ever" and I totally agree, I was listening to it on Spotify, guess nothing tops this one then lol
Haven't listened to this in a while and Carter/Leroi at the beginning just gave me chills. Also listen carefully at the beginning and you can here Dave palm muting some crazy strums that I never noticed until today.
when I have enough money in my life I'm going to travel to wherever dmb are and see them live! so jealous you've seen them 7x! they've never been down to New Zealand. love love love!
this was my first DMB show and I was in the front row for it! this show rocked!! i have seen them a few more times. this still tops it. if anyone has the whole show audio...let me know. I would love to have a copy of it. thanks.
Good you have so right, this band changed my life, all my days are better after a listen it in live. Dave is so expressive in every song, you can feel what he felt in that moment. =)
This was the most amazing concert. Have been to so many Dave shows I have lost count but this one takes the cake. Love you Dave Matthews Band... rest in peace Leroi...
DMB is absolutely amazing live...I love them live. And album, or whatever. Their music is so moving, inspirational, and so much more. Great song, one of MANY.
so here we are tonight you and me together its got no warmth outside look our fires bright oh and in your eyes i see whats on my mind you got me wild, turned around inside oh and miss desire, she is creeping up heavy inside here, you know i feel the same way you do now lets make this an evening lovers for a night, lovers just tonight well here we are, both you and i no other witnesses before and you know there is no better thing for us than to run off intothis sweet grass
meaningless?? are you crazy? these lyrics are a masterpiece man... when I wasn't even in such situation the lyrics were like a poetry for me... and now, when I know exactly how it is I can only listen to this and cry because it's soo true.
As the sound rings in my head I notice I get chill bumps and before I realize it's so good because I listen to every little detail in sounds in voice, shit it's over, no I need more more more. I must flex across these sounds more, wrap my mind around his detail. He's a pro, need I say more
i was there for this! one of my faves so this was a real treat for me. no one will ever do it like leroi. my next show was leroi's bday (his last). so grateful to say i was there. R.I.P. LeRoi.
I was at the Charlotte and Charlottesville (Saturday) concerts, but if they were going to make a LT cd out of either of those concerts it would definately be Charlottesville. Saturday night was the best Dave show I've ever been to (with the exception of the Concert for Virginia Tech.). Charlotte was a good concert to. Loved Rapunzel. Mmmmmm Dave.
My friend gave me their album over 10years ago and to be honest I did’t quite appreciate the music then. Stumbled on the disc last week and I’ve been ‘super addicted’. What was I thinking? Great music. Unique Band!
UN'FN'BELIEVEABLE!!!! This is the first time I've heard a version that comes close to the passion expressed in the studio recorded version. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY SOUL!!!
