Write a Song-Dave Matthews Band 

The year is 2013 and we were in our early 20’s.

Adding this, Little Red Bird, Beach Ball and #27... this is my favorite collection of DMB songs. Everything about this period of writing was stellar. LOVE IT!!

My favorite song of DMB!!!😃❤️

I cannot listen to this song without smiling.

This one is so good. I want it live this Summer

Oh man I can't believe this didn't make it on Big Whiskey, the sound is SO funky and the build at the very beginning sets up the track perfectly.

how did this not make the album? amazing

Dave accomplished exactly what he wrote this song for.

Got it second night in New Hampshirite!! Awesome seemed like people didn’t know it which was nuts to me !! My girl just started listening D 2 years ago new every word that was when I knew I was going to marry this one lol.!!! See everyone out there this summer!!!

I'm In LOVE with this song Thank you for posting xoxoxo

and it really makes me swing like a demolition ball...Dave, you nailed it again 😏

i love this song. im glad i got the bonus cd. little red bird, beachball, 27, and this are all amazing

awesome, ive only ever heard this live! wish i could like this 100x

In absolutely love this song and I cannot find it anywhere but in RU-vid!

Seen it live June 6th in Burgettstown PA :) "I wanna write a song that will get you high" thats fuckin' sick. #DMB #LoVE #GruX

I had the honor to see this song live twice this year in houston and then again in dallas. i cant wait for a live trax album with this on it, just an amazing song.

Gosh I love this song

Dave needs to make a album of all of his unpublished songs. Songs like this, round and round and shotgun that are currently concert only.

wow first time hearing this one... i fuckin' love it, pissed its not on the album!!!

Oh, I've never heard this one! I love hearing those Dave songs that most people don't know. Most people listen to "Crash into Me" and think that's the best song he ever wrote (because they didn't listen to other songs) which is SOOOO far from the truth.

Thanks a ton for this. Great song.

underrated song

the best album troghu all times

This song was amazing at Deer Creek last night!

Thanks for posting I've been looking! This is one of my favorites of DMB!

i'm so depressed i have to miss the gorge shows. i'm sure he'll play it there this year. grrrrrr.

Thanks for the share. This song is growing on me. I think that it would be really awesome live with lots of energy. They could really rock out the last part. Any chance you can put up the other bonus disc songs?

love love love nice chill little tune

warehouse 8 where Dave plays this for a fan shows...they r the most fan friendly band ever

thank you for posting this man ive been trying to but my comp is acting all weird, thanks. i fucking love this song

Lonely little moon 🌝

the rules of life. follow them.

This song *was* released on a special, limited-edition version of the Big Whiskey album. Only $100.

@thestonedmb41 dont' forget crazy easy, sugar will, rye whiskey, #27, and Beach ball. you are absolutely right.

finally played live tonight!

❤.

100% agree. dive in is my least fav on the new cd and this song is awesome. im also not crazy about baby blue...wish they put #27 on the new album too.

@TheDMB2 actually I really cant complain about the album, its definitely there tightest work since Crowded Streets

=D awesome mann

@thestonedmb41 that would be a 3 disc album and it would be awesome i would vote for it..

❤

this whole album is old dmb. which is why it is so amazing. they sound just like they should. the other albums were good before this one but they werent a slap in the face like this one.

Have they played this live yet? Haven't had a chance to check ants yet... such a 'cool' songg!

Got me high ;)

God I love this fucking song and my life 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂💃💃💃💃💗💗💗💗💗

dance and sing!!

can you put the #27 studio version on here please?

and joyride!

maybe...i agree with you that this song kicks ass for sure, but dive in really fits the album well...with songs like spaceman and lying in the hands of god. if anything i would cut funny the way it is and put this in there. awesome song!

i believe that cornbread would have fit best on Big Whiskey

Idea of you too!

That movie was, Because Of Winn Dixie.

@fansofbands what is this bonus cd you speak of??? my copies of big whiskey only have DVD's....now I am doing to have to go on a hunt!!! MUST HAVE BONUS CD!!! :)

bad azz, do they play this?, no record in a while maybe this will make it!

And #36 turned into Everyday, though they aren't the same. It's still the same riff.

@huckfinn12453 I can think of about 20 more songs that should be on this album!

swing baby swing ^_^

@Larm2112 already did! :) Thanks for the reply though...I did it that the same night

I think Granny was on a soundtrack. I know Help Myself was: Scream 2? Therefore, technically they were released, but I still agree though. Ah, and Butterfly was on a movie Dave was in as well, but I forget the movie.

which one did you get? the regular big whiskey or the extended edition? i got the extended and its not on it...

search "#27 studio"

where can i download this?

See ya in the pit on 6/26/12 !!!

I like this song a lot, but it feels like its only partially written. More horns, less guitar fill.

shouldve been on the album instead of time bomb

the comment about time bomb being garbage?? wow is all that i can say, are you serious?

You and Me is 100% predictable. This song is much more better.

hah i'm sorry that i don't like that dave pulled a taylor swift and wrote a song about a song. It's not creative; it's lazy and the music isn't great either

there's a reason this was left off the album; it simply is not good.

this song really isn't very good
