Come away, come away, death, And in sad cypress let me be laid. Fly away, fly away, breath; I am slain by a fair cruel maid. My shroud of white, stuck all with yew, O, prepare it! My part of death, no one so true Did share it. Not a flower, not a flower sweet, On my black coffin let there be strown. Not a friend, not a friend greet My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown. A thousand thousand sighs to save, Lay me, O, where Sad true lover never find my grave, To weep there!
I wish he could just put all his songs that he sings live or off record into an album. Like this one was so quiet and peaceful... It gives you a feelin'
Laura Parker Iv'e been listening to this right before I go to sleep every night. Put's me in a peaceful place. I think almost of excepting life as it is. As hard as it can be. Love the tenderness by which Dave delivers the vocals.
Me too... just came upon this and couldn't believe my ears! I love that he is pushing forward with more songs featuring the piano.. he has a beautiful touch of the keys.
Leah Danastasio backstory is that his kids school was doing a Shakespeare play as a musical and needed a song written for this passage. So not his lyrics, but music he wrote just for this part.. I would love to hear the whole thing.
Ive listened to this for many years now . video maker is lucky dave is so wonderful. the intro and out sounds erk me every time. so aggressive. much love everyone
Cannot thank you enough for this upload!!! Falling in love with him all over again. .....more now than 20+ yrs ago. I cant stop listening. It's beautiful!
My childhood dog just passed. Minnie Mae Mohler. She was a cute, loving Weiner dog. This goes out to you. I love you, Minnie. I'll see you again someday.
Best poet prose retro chic a slam poetry rock rap that is engaging and evocative. Like Rabindranath Tagore poet laureate, Rainer Maria Rilke, Alexander Pushkin and Aleksander Block symbolic Russian poet Laureates. Cheers a Haig Scotch Whiskey David Beckham style.

The older he gets.. The more angelic his voice becomes
Heard this for the first time at Newark airport the other night. A young worker there was playing this on the piano. Blown away.
Thank you Brandon
Come away, come away, death,
And in sad cypress let me be laid.
Fly away, fly away, breath;
I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
My shroud of white, stuck all with yew,
O, prepare it!
My part of death, no one so true
Did share it.
Not a flower, not a flower sweet,
On my black coffin let there be strown.
Not a friend, not a friend greet
My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown.
A thousand thousand sighs to save,
Lay me, O, where
Sad true lover never find my grave,
To weep there!
Pretty sure this is exactly how Shakespeare meant his poem to be heard.
I love when he plays the piano. Love it. Reminds me of my father.
I thought I've heard all things Dave Matthews... Nope. Here I am crying at 11pm. Not sure why this hit so hard, but MAN. This is hauntingly beautiful.
God himself couldn't write poetry as beautiful as his hands and as sweet as the sound of his voice
This guy never stops...being awesome.
this just brought me back 400 years.
He really needs to put out an acoustic album from various times in his career. Lovely, absolutely lovely!!
So beautiful.. I’m just falling so in love with Dave Matthews lately ❤️
I wish he could just put all his songs that he sings live or off record into an album. Like this one was so quiet and peaceful... It gives you a feelin'
when the days end I find myself wandering back to this, and my heart feels calm once again

That is exactly what I do, it gives me such peace
plus the song being for a Shakespearean play blows my mind
it's like two great poets had a baby and this song was born.
This is so gorgeous. Its so peaceful, and soft. Honestly, I'm at a loss for words.
so sad and beautiful... dave is amazing...
Strange, I know every single Dave song known to man, lol...and I have never hear this. He's just so fucking amazing!!!!!
