LIOG - what are they talking about?

[davehead#34]

I did a search and found nothing. Can anyone make out the conversation they are having during the instrumental jam?

[DMBFan63]

no. plain and simple, you're not gonna be able to.. the instruments are louder then the voices making it virtually impossible to hear what they're talking about.. step into the light(ze book) says they're talking about ping pong and how steve lillywhite is beating them.. not confirming this though

[Beauford33]

yeah, I find it best not to find out. Saves time and hey, that is bad ass. Great idea of them putting in that in the back ground. Gives you that feel of "better times"

[thejoe]

i have almost that whole convo translated
but its a hard copy and i dont feel like typing it out
so i guess youre out of luck

I've read it, and that is taken from actual people in the band's crew and the acual band, so i'm taking it that that's what they're talking about

[davehead#34]

[unccharlotte07]

Hang on, I'll find it. I've found the entire thing before on the internet before. It may just take me a little while.

Lie In Our Graves:

2:40-4:57 - Over two minutes of talking can be heard in the background. This has been said to be a ping pong game caught on tape by Steve Lillywhite. Because there is so much I'll just list in order the clearer portions of the talking. First thing a laugh can be heard. "Why don't you come to bat?" "No thanks" "It's in!" "No it's not." "Come on shoot Boyd" "hahah" "I'll get it (said in a deep voice)." "Shit!" "Don't worry about it." "Hit the target." "Jesus, this is just far out." "Oh my God a microphone, oh no(Girl laughing at the same time)!" More of the girl laughing. At 3:10 the music gets louder and it's hard to make out what is being said. At 3:50 there is victorious screaming and some more of that girl. At 4:20 you can hear a little again. "Says he misses you a lot." "...make it today." "Nuh uh!" More of that girl laughing. "He hasn't even told you so?" "Yes(girl)!" "Aaaa(girl sighing)" "YEEEE" More laughing. "What?" 4:57 back into the song.

5:34-5:42 - More talking. "...it's that long. All of a sudden he's like himself..." laughing. Girl says at the same time "Where? I looked and I don't know."

All of these clips are my opinions of the "hidden" or lesser known parts on the studio albums Under The Table And Dreaming, Crash and Before These Crowded Streets by the Dave Matthews Band. There are more then what is listed here but they are harder to decipher. These are best heard with earphones on. I've listed the exact times for each clip; some overlap each other so you may have to listen to it a few times to get all the individual pieces. If you have any questions, comments, additions or subtractions for
this list, drop me an email. Enjoy, but remember this is just my opinion!

Under The Table And Dreaming:


Rhyme & Reason:

0:40-0:41 - Someone says "No sooner dead."


Crash:


Two Step:

0:45-0:49 - Someone sings "Back, is, the day."

2:45-2:51 - "Two two two, two two two, two two, two two, two, two two." is whispered by Dave.

5:32-5:59 - Dave sings "They are all fa-falling on me oh. Over all, I took it all, I'll take it all with me. For a
while, you'll do without. I will go and free us all, all alone forgetting, is you, me."

6:05-6:12 - Dave sings "Only I'll fall away, I'll fall away, I'll fall all over you."

6:15-6:26 - Dave sings "Only I'll go this way, climbing two by two, to be sure that these days continue."

There is some other singing in the first minute I can't make out.


Drive In Drive Out:

3:27-3:36 - Someone whispering, can't make it out.

5:52-5:54 - Stefan or Carter says "That, is bad as shit."


Lie In Our Graves:

2:40-4:57 - Over two minutes of talking can be heard in the background. This has been said to be a ping pong game caught on tape by Steve Lillywhite. Because there is so much I'll just list in order the clearer portions of the talking. First thing a laugh can be heard. "Why don't you come to bat?" "No thanks" "It's in!" "No it's not." "Come on shoot Boyd" "hahah" "I'll get it (said in a deep voice)." "Shit!" "Don't worry about it." "Hit the target." "Jesus, this is just far out." "Oh my God a microphone, oh no(Girl laughing at the same time)!" More of the girl laughing. At 3:10 the music gets louder and it's hard to make out what is being said.

"He hasn't even told you so?" "Yes(girl)!" "Aaaa(girl sighing)" "YEEEE" More laughing. "What?" 4:57 back into the song.

5:34-5:42 - More talking. "...it's that long. All of a sudden he's like himself..." laughing. Girl says at the same time "Where? I looked and I don't know."


Proudest Monkey:

0:18-0:23 - Dave says "No matters give like the street." Someone with a quick reply "That's news." Someone else says "D'ya know what I'm saying?" Someone replies "Everyone knows how you do it." This is all said very quickly and Dave's part is hard to figure out, but it's something like that. The other parts I'm pretty sure of.

Dave also sings a lot during the musical build at around the 6:00 mark, but it is slightly drowned out.


Before These Crowded Streets:


Rapunzel:

4:20-4:21 - Dave sings "You make me feel high."

4:40-4:44 - Dave sings something like "oh, oh, play it Roi, Roi."

5:44-5:47 - Dave whispers "Carter Beauford on the drums, Carter Beauford on the drums, Carter Beauford, Carter Beauford, Carter Beauford on the drums."

5:44-5:49 - Cell phone rings twice.

5:47-6:00 - Sounds like a playful argument that starts to Fade in at 5:47, gets louder and continues until
6:00. First understandable thing is someone yelling "Yeah right!" (5:52) and at the same time someone else yells "You son of a bitch!" (5:53) Then you hear "Wait a minute" (5:54) followed by "It was on the line" (5:55) and then "Whoa, that was on the line!" (5:57) and finally "Well then re-serve. (5:58-5:59) Basically there are a lot of things happening in this argument and in whole. This potentially "ping pong" related, argument is mainly heard in the right earphone while the other stuff is on the left or both. You have to block out the other parts to fully hear this.

5:50-5:54 - Someone is talking gibberish, sounds a little like German.

5:51-5:52 - Dave answers phone and says "Hello?"

5:54-5:57 - Dave continues "Hey Greg, Hey I can't talk right now I'm right in the middle of drum work."

5:57-5:58 - Someone else says "Tell him we'll see his bitch."

5:59-6:00 - Dave says "Hello?" again.

There is debate over Dave on the cell phone some say it's Carter or Leroi instead. The book "Music For The People" claims it's Dave, I agree.


The Last Stop:

0:01-0:02 - Someone says "Silence is Poetry."

0:05-0:06 - Someone says "I think he deserves a shot."

0:09-0:10 - Someone quickly replies "Not yet."

0:14-0:15 - Then another reply "Why not?"

0:29-0:33 - Someone says "Get him, Get him...Get him, Get him...Get him."or something along this line.

1:24-1:25 - "Why not?" again.

6:20-6:22 - "Hey...come on."

There is more talking within the first 20 seconds but I can't make it out.


Don't Drink The Water:

2:14-2:15 - Alanis sings "Make them stay." behind Dave.

2:18-2:19 - Alanis sings "bury you" behind Dave.

2:40-2:43 - Alanis sings "Or I will silence" behind Dave.

3:49-3:51 - Alanis sings "So move aside for me" behind Dave.

3:57-3:58 - Dave says "I will obey."

4:09-4:15 - Alanis sings "You must move on or I will bury you." behind Dave.

4:23-4:23 - Dave quickly says "Who's that?"

5:05-5:32 - Alanis sings backing vocals but they are pretty clear here.

5:42-6:35 - Alanis singing backing vocals again, but if you listen she is singing two different parts, one in each earphone.

6:15-6:23 - Dave sings "Suppose I'm gay, suppose I'm gay, a homo yeah."

Dave continues singing something at 6:24 but I can't make it out.


Stay:

1:54-1:56 - Sounds like "oop ada hebba." is sang.

There is said to be a pager sounding in this song but I've yet to hear it.


Halloween:

2:16-2:19 - Dave says something like "You reckoning well, we can give my dad instruments, run away."

3:39-3:45 - A girl says "Ok, that much we can do" in the left earphone. It sounds as if the same girl says something like "So now we can...we can...still see...and not..." in the right earphone starting at same time as the word "that' from the left.

3:58-3:59 - Dave says "yeah huh"

4:00-4:35 - Dave sings "In the sky is at woe, up from the ground and space aren't open. I've felt weak and prejudices and I felt across the naked world, and in my rescue." (Some maybe wrong here)

4:27-4:30 - Woman yells "Fucking asked for it, mother fucker!"


The Stone:

0:00-0:03 - Sounds like a man mumbling.

0:07-0:12 - Same mumbling.

0:22-0:25 - Same mumbling.

hope this helps!
