Here's an old one...Dave Matthews.
Alright, it's true, I have been, and always will be a HUGE Dave Matthews fan.
I had sort of abandoned him after a few years (in terms of the amount of listening I invested in) and then watched this awesome documentary called "Go Further" starring Woody Harrelson. This was an exceptionally entertaining documentary about sustainable eating/living and it really effected me.
The brilliance and impact was magnified by the great choice of artists performing their songs to bring out some of the themes within the film. I can't for the life of me find the live song that Dave Matthews plays at the end of the film, but I have found the album version.
In any case, I sat in silence crying at the end - during the credits when Dave put his heart and soul into this last message.
The idea of nature being the womb - the earth mother - that we go back to this and envelope ourselves in how big and how beautiful that is. I just felt so much from that particular performance and there was a sadness and love emiting from it that fully seeped into my heart.
so if you're interested in the documentary, pay attention to the credits at the end and see if you feel similar. It's a great movie to watch. and it's funny and light too - not all preachy, but a little preachy.
p.s. this was the closest I could get to the version I remember. =) it's not the album version.
ReplyDeleteI only really know one Dave Matthews song: Crash Into You. And the only reason I know that song is because it was the title song of a Buffy fan video that featured the romance/sexual affair of Buffy and Spike. It was a pretty a propos song since the main feature of the video is when those two characters have sex for the first time and an entire house literally crashes in around them as they consummate their relationship for the first time. Hot!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. This song is pretty alright too.
