it was in 1998, I am a teenager and actually I was never a music lover, maybe all of my friends were into boybands, bollywood music, but when I first heard this song, I totally fell in love with it and love everything about them. This band is still unknown in my country up till now.
I know this is not about the native Americans, but given my standing in life.... to me, this song speaks volumes, the vanquish, the pain, the mental gymnastics that my ancestors went through. I feel it in this song.
Oh lord I LOVE these artists and so does my 8 year old son ... that’s why I’m here because he asked to hear this song ! ♥️. DMB and friends .. thee literal greatest artists to ever have walked the Earths face
Come out come out No use in hiding Come out come out Can you not see There's no place here What were you expecting No room for both Just room for me So you lay your arms down Yes I will call this home Away away You have been banished Your land is gone and given me And here I will spread my wings Yes I will call this home What's this you say You feel the right to remain Then stay and I will bury you What's that you say Your father's spirit still lives in this place I will silence you Here's the hitch Your horse is leaving Don't miss the boat It's leaving now And as you go I will spread my wings Yes I will call this home I have no time to justify to you Fool you're blind, move aside from me All I can say to you my new neighbor Is you must move on or I will bury you Now as I rest my feet by this fire Those hands once warmed here I have retired them I can breathe my own air And I can sleep more soundly Upon these poor souls I'll build heaven and call it home Cause you're all dead now I live with my justice I live with my greedy need I live with no mercy I live with my frenzied feeding I live with my hatred I live with my jealousy I live with the notion That I don't need anyone but me Don't drink the water There's blood in the water.
Hu? Wtf you talking about homes? I wrote a 15 page paper on this song like .. 15 years ago. I see quite a bit of generalizing going on in guys little hate thread.
Their customs may be gone , they've moved on from acorns and teepees but they now drive Escalades and are bringing in billions through their Casinos,which they love!
I know he says “from California to the….” But I always assumed it was about South Africa because Dave is from South Africa. I guess it’s very easily about both.
Amazing - our European ancestors Trampled, Stomped, and ReMOVED from NY Islands to CA all Native peoples. Truly Lovely... and very spiritual for us. What an America! ;) (I bet Dave *winks* at it all... with his South African roots...)
He got inspiration from this song while he was on lsd. Lol I get the lyrics. But it makes you wonder wtf he was seeing and thinking when he wrote this.
Wish they would go back to this original, more subtle like, sit down environment. How it was originally intended. But only their European tours have provided this as of "late"
Anyone else that comes back to this video regularly? Can't get enough. See you next month.
Just watch it today 😂😊🎉
You are Soo Right 🎶 This will NEVER get old. ❤️
Yep
Easily one of the greatest live performances of all time.
Agreed. Have you seen his version of DDTW on tiny desk? Around minute 8 and some change?
Yes
Tim
Reynolds is absolutely brilliant
He's a literal master

Oh, a fellow German, I assume. ;) They are known, just not to the public. :)
When he sang hooooome. In thateloduc voice......I have loved his music since 1990s ❤
I was there that night, it was pretty dam good.
The lyrics are so amazing
i never get tired of listening to this music, powerfull, warm, mantric

It speaks to me about the physically a us over relationship I was in. I get you sir
It is very much so about the Native Americans.
@@bentleyboy72 your mom is a native fartknocker
It's actually about apartheid in Africa😊
He said himself it’s about the Native Americans
David Matthews is an Earth Angel

Such an incredible performance
The Carnegie Hall concert has some of the best live vocals of Dave's I've ever heard. A great DVD to watch, as well.
The recording is drenched in autotune sadly
Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come out come out
Can you not see
There's no place here
What were you expecting
No room for both
Just room for me
So you lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone and given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say
You feel the right to remain
Then stay and I will bury you
What's that you say
Your father's spirit still lives in this place
I will silence you
Here's the hitch
Your horse is leaving
Don't miss the boat
It's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you're blind, move aside from me
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
And I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home
Cause you're all dead now
I live with my justice
I live with my greedy need
I live with no mercy
I live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water.
Another one omitting the true lyric. "And God I live with the notion...." ...check out my comment a bit earlier on this scroll. God Bless
❤ thank you
This the best of Dave
this is greatness.. once in a lifetime
I'll never cease to be amazed how many of their fans totally miss the point of this song.
+sean tomas true dat
THE WORST?! HA HA FOH!!!!
> brandon corbett
yo
Why?... All you need to do is listen to the lyrics... The meaning is very evident.
Hu? Wtf you talking about homes? I wrote a 15 page paper on this song like .. 15 years ago. I see quite a bit of generalizing going on in guys little hate thread.
my favorite band
Away, away you have been banished. Your land is gone & given to me...
Their customs may be gone , they've moved on from acorns and teepees but they now drive Escalades and are bringing in billions through their Casinos,which they love!
"I have no time to justify to you, fool you're blind, move aside for.me."
Thanks for your Grandfather Dave!
4:33 goosebumps every time
"I'll build heaven and call it home".
man he can sing
in case anyone is wondering this song is about the genocide of native americans
I know he says “from California to the….” But I always assumed it was about South Africa because Dave is from South Africa. I guess it’s very easily about both.

Gotta love the irony of the people cheering when "This Land is Your Land" starts playing, you're missing the point
Ehhh. I get what you’re saying. But They’re in NYC. I think they get the point lol
So So true 👍 NJ
They're Dave Matthews fans, they're cheering for Dave
😂
What's the point
❤
How can you NOT get the message of this song??
there really is something sinister in the water
He got inspiration from this song while he was on lsd. Lol I get the lyrics. But it makes you wonder wtf he was seeing and thinking when he wrote this.
Not speaking english? Jk. ;)
the look he gives him at 5:50 like "oh fuk ya we just crutched it"
hahah classic, love Woody Guthrie-This Land Is Your Land. Dave and Tim are the best.
ok, these guys are amazing musicians..... but seriously when they talk it's really bizarre. Did anyone else hear how creepy tim sounded at 8:13?
+Kameron Hansen They're high. It's well known that Dave is usually (if not always) high when he performs.
+Elise Quackenbush ahh, gotcha ;)
I wish I sounded that creepy and could play like him. One of the FINEST LIVE CONCERT DVD's EVER EVER PRODUCED. PERIOD!
Kameron Hansen he was in a car accident that severed his vocal chords
They’re comedians too
Looking for this album on vinyl. If anyone knows where to get it, please share a link. Thank you.
Wish they would go back to this original, more subtle like, sit down environment. How it was originally intended. But only their European tours have provided this as of "late"
Tim at the end 😂
Does anyone realize what he’s singing about is happening again….right now
That sneaky A-natural..
no better version of this song
God, I love this song being 8% native American. Onondaga and Oneida here what about everyone else?
No. But it hits home about a physically abusive relationship I was in
Watch Geronimo and see part of the truth. Or Little Big Man.
Interesting… here we are. Tears later! Look. I can barely breathe. Who’s going to talk to me??? No one! I’m just a pos! So sad!!!
My fav6so
On a ‘Paulson’ watch. Check six CVs.
"I love it when you say vagina"
...yeah
HAHAH tripping balls
!
Wah-shday
This land is your land is part of the song, it's not seperate lmao.
Dave didn't write it though... so it's an interpolation, and one worth noting in the title.
Yes. It is part of this version of this song.
Sometimes he substitutes that stanza, sometimes not.

This looks like Tim was borrowing his dads guitar.My mans about the same size of a second grader
Oh we are an Idiot now play us some music
Israeli National Anthem
Amazing ignorance of the crowd when they cheer.
Omg I literally just commented that
So they should boo?
They're cheering when he says "New York Islands" because this was at Radio City Music Hall, a famed NYC venue.
Apache chorus.......
ngl not a fan
U crazy. The Farm Aid version might be eaisier Of a listen
fake
