Analyze some songs.
I found out that I am going to have to write a big paperfor college about analyzing the works of a famous writer or poet. I asked if I could do Dave Matthews and the prof. agreed. The paper is still a ways down the line in terms of time but i want to get started. I would love it if we could try to get every song of Dave's analyzed and maybe make this a sticky or something. Thanks for the help.

FYI, There are some sites out there that do this already. Not sure of the names though.mattinbeloit wrote:I found out that I am going to have to write a big paperfor college about analyzing the works of a famous writer or poet.

but they are wrong on a ton of the song meanings, you have to search through the posts well to find the right ones.

i was gonna say both of them; they both seem to be pretty accurate.
hosting the oscars is like winning the heisman trophy. no matter how you do in the ballgame, or whatever, they can't take it away from you. and even if you kill your wife and an ex-waiter, they still have a hard time taking it away from you

dave's old girlfriend (Julia?) denied him i believe 3 times when he proposed to her, so i guess they broke up and dave wrote a song about his feelings for her. its called halloween because that was the day that either they meet, or the day that they broke up.
someone please correct me
