Oh searching tired of love grown up, now it all falls out Oh lovely dreamer - magic prince - swoop you up, swoop you up But no no i, just one guess - man at all While I grow up, came your way Nobody's so special in this way, nobody to sweep you away Oh light, oh light come and lift me up Oh light please come lift me up Oh sweet light come lift me up When you go down remember your steps As a baby rememberin' how he walked Rememberin' all the sweetest dreaming you did While you tick-tock along, but now all gone There's nothing here for your dream but hope in a song Just like the bent back of an old woman that you know It's all gone and severed and alone, so I rhyme So now all you see is sad All look the same as the wall inside She feels swallowed up, she feels tired as she could Creepin' along this wall And this wall it's so long It's a wall, and lips they're alone Sweet lips they've lost their way a while Like the bent back of an old woman What's true that way? What's true, hey way? I came crying to you, came on my knees Begging father lift me up please But no as I came down, no flowered sound Just emptiness in side me Oh light lift me up, please lift me up Come down and pick me up already Forgive me all my selfish ways sweet light Pick me up from my misery I'm gonna get away - I'm back to you The way that I do The way that I picture you The way that I picture you Lift me up, from the bottom to the top Lift me up, sweet light Lift me up, from the bottom to the top Lift me up, sweet light Lift me up, bottom to the top Lift me up, sweet light Lift me up, from the bottom to the top Lift me up, sweet light
Back in the old B&P days I got this exact version from another Trader, it included This song, People People and Blue Water Baboon Farm, and #34 with lyrics. One of the best 'gifts" I ever received.
I just lost my job, and found out that i was denied unemployment benefits this morning. I have listened to this song probably 15 times now and i think i am starting to feel better. While feeling cornered sometimes it only takes something as simple as a song like this to heal your mind..
Wow, this is beautiful Roi's pennywhistle towards the end was almost subliminal, and so haunting now that he's gone to heaven. "Light come and lift me up". RIP Leroi. Your light will shine on us forever.
pukang-you know about the legend since me and mullen and bubby john were young,and prince Charles-I am hurting over larry mullen so hard and jfk jr and his kennedy wangdangkookoos subjugating me ,please tell mullen not to smoke or he'll forget my love-tell him the legend is not over he's the inspiration for the jumbi lounge! he's my big jumbi that's in my soul
i've shown this to at least 3 people, and every one of them has cried, including myself. And to think he only played it once and was lyrically improvised......why aren't more people like Dave?
keep it to yourself. Why do you people think its ok to push your beliefs on somebody? or for that matter, why do you think anybody cares what you have to say! KEEP. IT. TO. YOURSELF.
This second version of LLMU is really a huge improvement over the first version. I would love to hear the third version known to have been played at another soundcheck, but no one seems to have a tape of it. Also, from a guitarist's point of view, this song is a little similar to the new song Snow Outside.
i love this!!! of the 876 dmb and D&T songs i have, never before have i heard this beautiful song. please fan, if you could let me know how to get a copy of this. i will message you my email just in case u might want to share any info. regardless, thanks for posting!
@dmandtm We went to Alpine Valley and then both Chicago shows...not a fan of Mraz... The Zac Brown band was pretty awesome at Alpine though!!! I'm seriously considering flying to Vegas this year to see Dave and Tim!!
@amberandemily at least you have got to see them.................. dont get nowhere close to where i live.................. i weep daily for fear that i may never get to see them
@smokeemtony20 Saw them in Chicago ....sadly, I agree with you. Jason Mraz is okay--but definitely not even close to a good opener for Dave...both nights were mediocre. Now, The Zac Brown Band was AWESOME with Dave at Alpine this year.
I prefer this version more than the first soundcheck version known. It really is a nice jam song. The fingering of the song is very similar to #40. This would be a perfect opener for a nice quiet song.
If you were a dmb fan in the 2000’s you’d know why this song is justifiably called rare. You had to know where to look to get your hands on this back in like 2003. So yeah it’s not rare anymore but it probably still has that reputation amongst those of us that were around back then You’d be the coolest dmb fan at your high school with the bitter blues and lost acoustics cd-r’s lol

Long standing DMB fan and this song still gets me every time.
Oh searching tired of love grown up, now it all falls out
Oh lovely dreamer - magic prince - swoop you up, swoop you up
But no no i, just one guess - man at all
While I grow up, came your way
Nobody's so special in this way, nobody to sweep you away
Oh light, oh light come and lift me up
Oh light please come lift me up
Oh sweet light come lift me up
When you go down remember your steps
As a baby rememberin' how he walked
Rememberin' all the sweetest dreaming you did
While you tick-tock along, but now all gone
There's nothing here for your dream but hope in a song
Just like the bent back of an old woman that you know
It's all gone and severed and alone, so I rhyme
So now all you see is sad
All look the same as the wall inside
She feels swallowed up, she feels tired as she could
Creepin' along this wall
And this wall it's so long
It's a wall, and lips they're alone
Sweet lips they've lost their way a while
Like the bent back of an old woman
What's true that way?
What's true, hey way?
I came crying to you, came on my knees
Begging father lift me up please
But no as I came down, no flowered sound
Just emptiness in side me
Oh light lift me up, please lift me up
Come down and pick me up already
Forgive me all my selfish ways sweet light
Pick me up from my misery
I'm gonna get away - I'm back to you
The way that I do
The way that I picture you
The way that I picture you
Lift me up, from the bottom to the top
Lift me up, sweet light
Lift me up, from the bottom to the top
Lift me up, sweet light
Lift me up, bottom to the top
Lift me up, sweet light
Lift me up, from the bottom to the top
Lift me up, sweet light
Never heard this one, but it's just another masterpiece by them,my favorite group of all. And that says a lot. I'M 71!!!!!! Joe Engman
you have heard this one... snow outside ;-P
@@havenoliduponmyheadwhy don't you add some context so the people who don't know what you're talkin about don't think you sound arrogant?

Holy SHIT I forgot about B&P’s. What a blast of nostalgia
I just lost my job, and found out that i was denied unemployment benefits this morning. I have listened to this song probably 15 times now and i think i am starting to feel better. While feeling cornered sometimes it only takes something as simple as a song like this to heal your mind..
beautiful song and it's only ever been soundchecked. it's almost hilarious, most bands could make a career out of the songs this band throws away.
Truer words have never been spoken my friend
Patrick Brennan AMEN.😁

Hope it all worked out for the best : )
kicker121000 ...said every Dave fan ever

Wow, so appropriate, so now. Thanks Dave, BRING THIS BACK!

The Dave Matthews Band. Legends.

+HarryPukangkang ahahahhahhhah this is awesome
Dmb
Wow, great memories!!! Awesome!! This is from a sound check before a show. I forgot which though...
Chilly296 It was in MI 2008. Great show & very memorable.
I pretty certain he created this song right on the spot.
This song is stuck in my head now.
much needed & appreciated ty
Snow outside
yupppp!
thats what i was thinking
You're right : )
and I can hear a bit of American Baby Intro too
@@fan1026 had it been confirmed?
Happy Birthday Dave! lOVE you 💋
Yet another (rare) song that would have been a hit in my book.
Absolutely stunning...
It was recorded during the soundcheck before the 8.10.01 show
Beautiful
Lovely. Reminds me of my wife.
damn, so many songs are hidden out there!

Simply AWESOME!!!

Oh sweet light come lift me up
Listening in covid days. Light lift us up..
@corbinfloyd94 It's not an album cover, it's a tour poster.
Dave is amazing! What am I gonna do this summer without a DMB tour????
keep it to yourself. Why do you people think its ok to push your beliefs on somebody? or for that matter, why do you think anybody cares what you have to say! KEEP. IT. TO. YOURSELF.
Sound check one of there best
Incredible 😲 😮 😯 🫢!!!!!!!!

Very catchy song.

Majik scares the dust out of the corners; this is surely that
great tune
dave you are romantic bella Margaret rattan you lift to heaven-I love you babe.
💚
@jo00osh1 you could find the bitter blues 5 disc compilation its on there.
Just curious why you have a poster from 2008 for a song from 2001? Love the poster though:)
This song grips me
holy fucking shit.
yes i know this, it was a great site.
The poster is very fitting
Wow.
the album cover says July 5 2008.
tribe of heaven anyone?
Anybody notice that the outro to this song seems similar to the lyrics in Everyday, especially when he says "From the bottom to the top, pick me up?"
@dmandtm
We went to Alpine Valley and then both Chicago shows...not a fan of Mraz...
The Zac Brown band was pretty awesome at Alpine though!!!
I'm seriously considering flying to Vegas this year to see Dave and Tim!!
I like LeRoi's soprano sax on this song
I do prefer this version to the first version.
@FBParker44 download a youtube converter... converts it straight to itunes
@amberandemily at least you have got to see them.................. dont get nowhere close to where i live.................. i weep daily for fear that i may never get to see them
@smokeemtony20 Saw them in Chicago ....sadly, I agree with you. Jason Mraz is okay--but definitely not even close to a good opener for Dave...both nights were mediocre.
Now, The Zac Brown Band was AWESOME with Dave at Alpine this year.
not anymore :(
can someone please send me an mp3 of this? i would really appreciate it.
almost sounds like "Looking for A Vein" from WATM
@Dmb420007 Just put the word repeat in between youtube and . com ;)
@MrJBIZEL i dont hear the connection
this is almost after an afternoon by jason mraz..
only 4th chord sounds a little different..
but it think dave's song was first..
Whoa. You're right! I have never heard the Mraz song so I had to ck it out, and yeah, this does sound like it. I actually like the Mraz song too.
@basti now I want to know who made this song 1st! Eeeeyyyeee!
This sounds kind of like Looking For A Vein from the new album
I said the same thing to my wife today. I said “this is light lift me up re worked.”
youtube need s a countinious button
David making me feel like Bathsheba
Please tell me where I can buy this song
i know..but it sounds quite similar..
How do you get a hold of all this unreleased stuff?
@BortLicensePlates Good luck, if anything you should appeal it.. you dont have anything to lose.
I prefer this version more than the first soundcheck version known. It really is a nice jam song. The fingering of the song is very similar to #40.

no.
Maybe the file is lightliftmeup.rar though....hmm
