Lyrics:
He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quiter time
Lights down, you up and die
Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
Driving in on this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange
When all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennas waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way
Candyman teasing the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss
Programs cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end, cut, cut
On the fence, could not to offend
Cut, cut, cut, cut
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

If you're not a drummer and can't discern what Carter is really doing, he is just playing non-stop little kicks, hits and embellishments. And has an amazing display of dynamic control. His creativity is such a joy to watch and listen to.
Colorado Back Road Drives I mean, there’s a lot to being able to handle simple pocket too.
Is that good
Thank you. I have no musical knowledge, so all I see is Carter slinging those sticks like a beast and smiling the whole time.
Yeah he's very under rated and probably one of best drummers in music. He does a lot of little technical things only discerning ears hear.
Man I BEGGED MY MOM FOR A DRUM SET WHEN I WAS GROWING UP!!! Who knows, I could have became THE " jimmi Hendricks" OF THE DRUM SET!!!??? I mainly listen TO Kevin Gates, but IN any song that drums ARE playing IS MY favorite!! I'm no drummer BUT yeah he's a great drummer!!! The drums carry THE BEAT AND tempo OF the SONG!! Any SONG!!! One slip UP AND THE whole thing IS over!! So yeah u GOT to be on point!! He's making IT look easy!! When ITS NOT!!! I'm 48 NOW!! But I always wonder what "IF"!! now that I'm older, I now understand WHY SHE didn't, SHE didn't want TO hear ALL THAT noise trying to learn HOW play!!! Rip MOM!! I love YOU!!
One of my all time favorite songs. I am in a wheelchair and I can't sit still when I hear this. Makes feel alive and puts a big grin on my face that won't come off!
It's impossible to not be bouncy and happy when this song is on 🙂
😀
This song is the embodiment of happy.
O the power of music .it is a part of pretty much every culture along with dance .I am regularly moved by artists that I am mostly not a fan of but I can relate to it or feel the beat make it impossible to move to it . . This is as pure as a live band that is more then a band they play from inside there souls and it spreads .I'm almost in tears .your comment made my day enjoy and remember to smile and just be good and good will follow
Yupper!!
There’s so much talent on that stage it’s ridiculous.
Still! Listening to this at full volume while playing the air drums.. 9-28-23. Hope I can get my kids to enjoy this as much as I do.
Everyone in DMB just look so happy to be performing. Some of the same songs for decades, and they still enjoy the show.
That’s talent and love.
That’s soul.
They are high
Saw them live tonight & said the exact same thing! Carter had a huge smile on his face the entire 2.5 hour show!
@D T……living out their talent with gratitude & loving influencing a crowd is the best high there could ever be💕🎸🎻🎸🥁🎼🙏
Yeah these mfers are true musicians, i have seen them many times live and they always bring it. Bc of them was how i discovered the great jam band since in the 90s (Phish, .moe, UM, String Cheese, Ryan Mountbluea, Keller W, all the Dead member bands Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir Ratdog, etc) its always great to see DMB live
I was driving in my car on my way home from work one day in 1995 and heard this song on the radio for the first time. Although I'd never heard of the Dave Matthews Band, I liked this song so much that I stopped by a record store and bought the CD. It was one of the best impulse purchases I've ever made.
I also bought the CD on the spot after hearing "Crash", not even knowing who they were, listened to the entire CD that night, and it stayed in Slot One of my CD changer for FIVE YEARS after that... that's how incredibly good that album and this group is. 💯
Ha. So interesting. Isn’t ants marching about people in traffic living monotonous lives but having hopes for something different but then they just die?
Probably one of the worst songs and top 10 worst bands ive ever heard.. the people that i knew that liked them were also the strangest alien lifeforms ive ever known. DMB blows goats.🤘
BURT SWAYZE ha.
So you searched or saw a dmb video and needed to comment?
And you’re unaware that there are different kinds of people and music in the world?
Interesting choice.
The reason for doing that was…To change our mind?
To be honest, i do not like listening to the whole band, but just dave by himself or with tim reynolds. Sometimes i find tim annoying, but hearing dave solo made me appreciate the band a bit more.
Listen to “the stone” on charlie rose. It’s before he played with the band.
Learn how to play it on guitar, and i bet you may like them.
He played many of his songs differently. The voice you just have to get used to.
And watch vh1 storytellers with dave and tim.
The 90’s musics finest
My Grandfather said..."It will never be work, if you show up absolutely loving what you do." And here they are.
One of those rare bands where their live sessions are way better than their studio recordings.
I always had that impression too. Grateful Dead was the same way. known for their
concerts more than their albums. I was never a DMB fan tho.
@@danielkokal8819 Yeah, DMB couldn't touch Grateful Dead.
@@DMTsmoke while thats true nothing can compare to dead show dmb is still a good show iv been goin for about 15 years and its still always a great time
True I would like to work with the audio tech because how they do it is very phenomenal but he can sing and you can clearly hear that
Agreed! I was at this show. It was epic in so many ways
The power of this song Live is unbelievable
The violin is out of this world.
Ĥe can play his off ❤
Yah, and it's pre-recorded. 1 minute in he goes to "adjust", stops the playing, but yet the sound continues?....,
He's out of the world too. Jail.
One of the best performances ever
Aww man I really miss this OG lineup 😢😢😢
Tightest rhythm section ever!
Carter is one of the most under rated drummers. He is pure bad ass behind his kit.
@Bönzeaux Bleuxgrën But it seems he is underrated though. How often is he ever considered one of the great rock drummers? I rarely ever see his name pop up. Generally I agree though, people are clueless as to what overrated and underrated means.
Carter invited me to be his guest at any show this summer - said he'll find some equipment cases for me to sit on backstage. STOKED!!! Go away COVID-19!!!!!
He's not all that. Look at his transitions. He's fair at best.
Drummer is the best i have ever seen makes it look so easy.
Mad BBQer you sir or ma’am are way the fuck misinformed lmao it’s hilarious
Boyd brings a level of unmatched energy with that violin! Damn i miss him being in the band
I loved him in this band as well. Until I read and found out why he was no longer a member !
I’m here because my son is at Dave Mathews house having tacos right now! His shipping business in SeaTac Wa. transports all of Dave’s equipment for concerts. When he got there today, Dave had tacos all ready for the guys. What an amazing artist and very humble.
I had a chance to meet him before a festival in Pensacola years ago and it was mind opening. This guy is just an average guy who plays guitar. As a matter of fact, I didn't even know who he was until late in the night when he was asked to play some music by the event host. We were at the event host's house and he grabbed a guitar and started messing around. He laughed at me when I said I didn't know who he was and explained that he plays in a little band and is performing tomorrow at the Sausage festival.
The next day, I found a CD of him and I couldn't believe that I just spent hours with this guy who said 'I play in a little band'
Humility. Is the answer. I grew up watching these kids at Traxx in C-ville. I'm not a college kid, just a country boy who always got in free, w, free drinks. I just loved the music.....and the girls. DMB, has always kept it cool.
And, Dave has never forgotten his roots! A good man!
@@gatorhead100 i used to go to every concert around 2000-2004
Tacos are so good and humble!
I just drank three cups of coffee and listening to this, might go build a submarine with the amount of energy I have
🙂awesome
after you shit obviously
Pictures or it didnt happen.
Me too man a sub that blows shit out of tha water!! While crushin crabs n eff it, let's put some wings on it too 💸💸💸💸
Funny, me too! However,Dave is the only music that I clean to almost every day!!
I do not believe I have ever seen musicians enjoying themselves anymore than these guys!
I was at this show...DMB and Allman Brothers...I lived in Midtown down the street from Piedmont Park at the time and just remember how life at that moment was absolutely perfect. The most insane DMB show I've been to and still think of it, 14 years later.
I was there yall! There were 80k people there & we were all JAMMIN! Watching Boyd Tinsley still gives me goosebumps. Best. Fiddle. Player. EVER!!!!! Can never be replaced. We miss you Boyd!!
I want to thank Carter beckford's drum-tec for giving me a pair of autographed drumsticks a few years ago you are the best drummer in the world...... Carter
It should be illegal to sound this great live. And they do every single time ! 😊😊😊
the tom roll @ 6:20 is FIREEEEEEEEEEEEE
ants will always be one of the most fun live songs ever.
fun and depressing too.... cuz it's true
@@travisallen2093 Yes, it's really unfortunate. However, no matter my state of mind, the melody is always great.
@@travisallen2093 I think it’s a matter of interpretation whether or not it’s depressing. It’s commenting on conformity, but it could be about the joys or the sorrows that it entails - or even both simultaneously.
Thank you God... that was slick!!!
Mad respect for the entire band. Incredibly talented all around.
This kind of music can't be replicated. No one has tried cause they all know better. 2024 and still listening.
You speak the truth my friend. I too, truly appreciate Dave Matthews and his fellow musicians in his band. True talent
Gay band for gay ppl
@@knewyorksays you? What do you listen to? Ghetto ass black people rapping about shooting ppl and having sex?
DMB was 20 years ahead of their time
This makes me miss Leroi and Boyd so very, very much. Such happiness brought!
Not a huge fan of this band but...what energy and proficiency they have individually and even more collectively. It's impressive how they all feed off each other and trade off shining moments unselfishly without getting in each other's way. Ego free ensemble. Dave and his band are the antithesis of so much that is wrong with this Karaoke, American idol, the voice approach to music. They don't sound like anyone else and aren't interested in piggybacking on someone else's work. So many now get famous for singing other people's songs. Doing your own thing, being original, is always refreshing to see and hear even if it's so rare nowadays.
10 minutes ago. Sick. Listen to more. Their live stuff makes them. They don't play it the same twice. This band is so good and they have been together so long that they know what everyone is doing
They're definitely a better live band. Jazz has trouble in the mainstream pop culture. Audio only, they turn off a lot of people. See them live, opinions change.
I mean that drumming is just something else. Musicality from all of them. Incredible.
So if you were a child of the late ‘90s early 2000s concert scene I don’t think many other songs will fill you with more utter happiness than this clip……I love ALL of you that I hung with at these shows all over the east coast. Much love
The best…..
I never thought an electric fiddle solo would move me to tears but here we are. Lol
Still dancing at 68, not with my ex husband 😢 but with my dogs now! Cheers everyone
Me too sister!!!! 67!
I saw DMB for the first time in Houston during this tour. The next year I saw them perform without LeRoy because of his ATV accident. Within a week of seeing them LeRoy had passed. RIP LeRoy. I'm thankful I got to see you perform in 2007!
The world would be a much poorer place if Dave had never met Carter. How they play off each other is a thing of beauty (not to dis the rest of the band...all talented).
The drummer is full of smiles. He loves what he does.
We love what he does!
We love what he does!
Saw them in concert tonight & said the exact same thing! Great show!!
His spirit in general
Brothers represent.
That fiddle is off the charts!!!!!!!!!
One of the Best Drummers in the world. Amazing watching him play
TRUTH 🔥
Danny cary has that same energy.
The bassist is underrated too
2024 ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES WOOOOOOO
One of the best drummers ..... EVER!
Yes, agreed. No Neil Peart, but definitely one of the best!
based on what? your love of dmb
carter having a blast best concert(s) I've seen
Kick-Ass drum Groove
The thing I have always loved about Dave Matthews Band, is that every song just sounds like a jam session that got out of hand. Almost like a pure adlib of music and lyric swirled in a blender.
Hell yea nigga
That's pure jamming and having fun through every single set and the fans energize them everytime for more and more. Greatest live shows I've ever been too and I've seen MANY MANY greats bands
Spot on...Totally !!!
These two first minutes are just pure fucking magnificent jazz
Carter Beauford is in the category of greatest drummers for me. Truly a master class!!!
He's a MASTER of the high-hat and ride. A true virtuoso. I've seen them 6 or 7 times and was at this show. My ex and I passed out against a tree, in Piedmont. Atlanta USED to be the best venue for shows in the country. ANYONE remember "Music Midtown" back in the 90's?
He didn't even play one double stroke that entire track; singles all the way. Hertas and fraction fills to die for. Complete limb independence. And tasteful dynamics too. The guy is a beast.
Not sure how they got so much talent together in one band. Insane
when DMB hasn't formed yet. Dave says he used to Barhopping and saw LeRoi and Boyd making his jaw drops while there displaying their skills and the rest is history
I was there. It was a magical night surrounded by people I love having fun. Getting a little emotional even thinking about it. Thanks, Dave!
Yeah me too
I LOVE watching one you were at and REMEMBERING as you watch it. It is emotional!👍💖🎶☮️
Me. Too!
Boyd Tinsley tearing that fiddle up so much I thought it was gonna catch on fire. Haha. I just wish he was still in the band because he really added alot to their sound.
Dave feeds my soul!!! I can listen all day and never get tired of this music ❤
As a guitar player,, When I heard them for the first time I was amazed with the fusion of creative all musical genres put in one..truly underrated musicians!!
I am roo.. he is truly a remarkable guitarist..hard work!!
@@vincentdaversa776I am too!
I am too!
I am too
LOVE the Dave Matthews Band. Such talented musicians, and Dave can sing, ooh, what a voice❤️,
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Matthews,his Mom, and the rest of his family on a Kenmore float plane flight from Lake Union, Seattle to Victoria, BC in the early 2000's. The two of us were detained briefly by authorities for a brief search post 911. We had a good laugh over it and he is true gentlemen. I had a good chat with Mom on the brief flight. One of my memorable days
Their records are NOTHING compared to the live shows. So much energy in such simple fun music.
James Maloney i disagree a little. as of late, their recording "style" and how their albums come together is different. in the 90s dave wrote everything. band added their piece on top of it. was a little more pure and had some magic that albums since busted stuff havent had. its more of a group think process. they are recording songs now which end up just being a skeleton of the song in years to come as they develop them more and more
i dont know if id call their music simple but. I play in a dave mathews acoustic cover band and, its alot harder to put together then it seems. His music comes together the way it does cause everyones part its completely different.
It’s not simple music at all.
Funny enough, it’s really not that simple - they just make it sound simple because their level of musicianship is at such an outstanding level brilliant!!
Have to so agree saw them 3 times live :0
Probably one of the dopiest songs of all time.
I was at that show, waaaaaay in the back and it was maybe the happiest I’d ever been.
I bet Carter wakes up smiling. What a BEAUTIFUL 😃
I'm getting ready to expose my 10 yr old to DMB..... this video will be first
I listened to this EVERY 3 DAYS YES
EVERY 3 DAYS😂 YES
The peak of DMB!
Dave M and Phill Collins are the greatest Euro car mechanics with a band/side hustle to ever live.
All time favorite song & band. Turned my husband on to Dave Mathew’s on a road trip. Now every road trip, we have to hear this song. We are old😳, but I swear 30 years falls off every time I get to listen to this. In my running years, this song was always played to get me going. Live versions are The Best!
I never tire of this Man and his band , wonderful talent and engages with the audience like a community or family...
I have new found respect and admiration for The Dave Matthews Band. They are phenomenal.
You got to see them live, the energy is off the hook!
@@jubenville00 Fucking Awesome.... Watched it again, got tear in my eye. I don't cry usually, but this performance really moves me.
Yes
God dammit son you did sell your soul to the devil
Yes…yes they are 😊
best out there live
U ain't lying
Timeless classic.
I love seeing the mix of black and white musicians on stage. Definitely in a whole different league than today's music. I love it!
EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE A BAND AS TALENTED AS THIS COMES ALONG AND JUST LAYS YOU OUT...
Smile's are the moment to the monumental performance.
The best way to describe this bands music is it makes my brain feel like it's dancing when I listen too and watch these guys. I am not a Dave Mathews Band die hard by any means but these fellas together have accomplished and captured something that is generational.......
Well said my friend.
I come back to this one because I love the way Dave greets the crowd :p
I dont believe there is a more legendary band than this one
Tommy Parmenter, thank you for taking me to my first Dave concert. Almost 3 hours they played, you looked at me and said you just got spoiled
We saw BNL the next night for $18, fugggggg where did the good times go
4:15 People in every direction. No words exchanged. No time to exchange.
Sad but true.
And after all these years, still can't help but shed a tear of joy after hearing this unbelievable awesome song for the nth time!
The good times were great.
End of 2024 and i still come to this masterful live performance to put a smile on my face DMB ❤
HOLY FUCK did not expect to get an adrenaline rush from watching this. The fiddle solo killed me rock the fuck on 🤘🤘💘💘
Genius of a song. I write songs but can't even comprehend how his brain wrote this musically. So unique. When I listen to it I just find my head moving back and forth - it's like you feel the song rather than hear it.
And here you have the essence. Everyone talks about the musicianship of this band, but no, it's the SONG. It's always the song.
They create together with chord progressions and riff/lick exchange. Someone hears the hook and bridge, chorus and verse fill in. It’s not hard to put together. It’s hard to find the people, the inspiration, the equipment, the time…
Have you seen the 60 minutes about him?
Kaul Farm ... well move to South Africa and learn some of their musical styles. Then have your sister get murdered so you have some inspiration. Get into a mixed group in the Carolinas that is inspired by Blue Grass, Blues, Rock and Jazz. Then I think you will have a shot of playing and making songs like him.
When in the car, this song makes me roll back the roof, open all the windows, & drive faster. Pours energy, joy & appreciation into my soul🤸♂️🥁🎼🎸🎷♥️🙏
Drummer looks like happiest man in the world because he knows how freaking awesome he is that he's probably, if not the best, top 10 in the world best.
Man... what a PERFORMANCE!! I have heard this so many times, on my CD, on the radio, to the point I sometimes got tired of it... and then I hear THIS!!! I can't believe it, it's like my ears are hearing it for the very first time! Oh my word, I have work to do, but there ain't no way I can sit still at my desk after hearing this!! WOW. Just... wow.
I love and thank you so much for your music lifting me still today
Superbowl? Let's do it!
I visited Piedmont Park back in 1969 when I was in the Air Force just before shipping out to Vietnam ... went to the HEART of ATLANTA MOTEL and spent the day showing off diving from their 10 meter platform ! Yee haww those were the days !
Dammm, Carters drumming is on the money with his tempo, and Boyds violin playing is insane.
A great band that puts on a great show. You can feel how much they like what they do, playing their music for people, they LOVE it!!!!!! Each musician is real good at what they play. Just an awesome time at their show.
A hidden gem from Charlottesville VA. Being from the B Burg/Roanoke Valley, we got to hear these guys before they were big. Grand days of college past. I met the original 5 in '92 and they loved what they did for a living. Very down to earth and active in the VA community, especially the 540.
Up to this day, i do not know why I cry every time I her this song ot watch this video.
Carter is always smiling. Loves those skins man!
One of the best drummers out there!
Neil Peart John Bonham Keith Moon then this guy. Wow!
Carter Beckford is also as you said one of the best drum is out there I was lucky enough in 2013 at the Barclays to work with his drum Tech I have a autographed pair of drumsticks that he rocks that I will forever hold in my memories thank you so much Dave for the music and thank you card for the Reps and thank you to his drum tech for letting me wax the symbols two times instead of one and it was done right the first time the band has an excellent road crew and everyone at the Barclays Local 4 rocked wish I was back there but time goes on and thank God I have an awesome job

Stewart Copeland 😎
Does he always wear Foot Joy golf gloves LOL!
Carter Beaufort (the drummer) said that this is the last song that they play at concerts, he called it the "national ant-em" lol
I'd die and go to heaven I'f I could see this band once or twice before I die🤣
Do it.
Same…if only to see once more! Bucket lists get so realistic as I age😬😱😳
Totally incredibly talented, nothing better ❤
Genius! Sheer Genius! 😎
The drummer with the foot joy golf gloves on is one of the best drummers of all time
Carter Beauford is a living legend indeed
He is truly great, but there are more than a handful who exceed or have exceeded him. Check out Rolling Stones 100 top drummers. It gives an excellent run down of these percussion wizards. With that stated, I really like the work Carter does. My ultimate favorite is Neil Peart.
@@patch5588 the list is awesome, not many people focus on the drummer, of course being a Who fanatic Moon the Loon is top of my list, then Bonham the thing that pert has going is he is still jamming today, never a real Rush fan but he is fabulous, there is a big You Tube storm over Elijah Wood drummer for Shania Twain, not a fan very rudimentary and basic, hits it hard but no chops, Tal Bergman who plays for Bonamassa is awesome check him out

Lots of WOW!! BADDDDD BANDDDD!!!
DETROIT MAMMA ❤️
Me and a car full of friends drove from Tallahassee, were sold fake tickets from scalpers and had to sneak in, and my car broke down on the way back -- we still laugh about that weekend to this day. This video is incredible, man that crowd in infinite! And such a positive and happy vibe! Goosebumps! Also, the Allman Brothers Band opened. Not a bad night in the park!
perhps th best drumer ive ever seen
You can’t help but smile when you see this performance. Thanks to all the guys on stage and the audience. You’re a Godsend.
Old enough to remember the feels of Roi and Boyd gang -------->

Awwwh nostalgia you bring a tear to my eye.
There was nothing like being at his live show for the first time screaming "People in every DIRECTION' with thousands of people during a band break.
Smiling the whole time listening
Fun change of words live, “*WE* all do it the saaaaaaaammeee waaaayyyyyyyy”
I mean that intro is insane every member shines as bright as the next one every live gigging musicians dream scenario
