    I'm on board with you. One of my favourites from No Code.

    Great tune.
    Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    A great seshing tune, no doubt.

    I used to skip over it, but now I realize it kicks ass. It just had to grow on me.

    The more I listen, the more I like it.

    I like it. I thought everybody else did as well. Oh well.

    I can't imagine how many people will disagree with me, but I do LIKE the stuff after "No Code", but not enough to collect every freakin' thing released around that era. I am practically addicted everything that's "No Code" and before, and the experimentation of "Who You Are" is different. I admire that, and I appreciate the song because of that. But...I just don't like the same way as I do with songs like "Once" and "Rearviewmirror".

    DaveMatthews, I agree. Who You Are is an awesome track. Better than most stuff off Ten.

    great song. loved it from the first listen.

    Love it!

    Why they don't play it live is beyond me!
