I consider myself a huge fan of Dave Matthews Band and I do not think that any band around right now can even compare, but I just cannot understand the obsession that you all seem to have with the song Say Goodbye. I have listened to it time and time again after seeing it continually brought up in the threads, but I just don’t connect with the so-called “beauty” that you all think it contains. It’s not that I hate those kind of songs-Crash Into Me, Lover Lay Down, Crush, and even Angel are some of my favorites. Say Goodbye has about the worst sounding musical introduction that I have ever heard, there is nothing at all moving about the lyrics, and it has virtually no chorus.
I think that people started just thinking that the cool thing to do was to like the song, and it ballooned. Please tell me someone agrees with me. Oh, I almost forgot-I have one more compaint. I don’t see why everyone hates the Everday so much, and is outraged by the fact that they put it out. While it obviously cannot compare to any of the others that they have put out to date, it still is the “Best of What’s Around” as it won the VH1 Music Awards for best CD, best song(The Space Between), and best group.
Does anyone agree with me on this? Please give me your opinions. I’m sure a lot of you think I’m an idiot because I know many of you love Say Goodbye and are not crazy about Everyday, and if that’s the case, I’d still like to hear what you have to say. Someone tell me what I’m missing in Say Goodbye. Oh, lastly, I would like oto apologize for putting this in the Musical Interpretations category, but that is where I see the most threads praising Say Goodbye. Words/ Pages : 315 / 24
