what is your take on granny???? it seems to me to be somewhat confusing. on one hand it makes me smile, then on the other hand it makes me sad.
is it a life and death song?
the song definitely makes me smile. i feel so good every time i listen to it. it also has sentimental meaning for me, which adds to it. i dont think it matters what the song is about. if it makes you feel good and can connect to you in some way, shape, or form, then it is successful. this song suceeds in doing just that for me.

i agree.......for some strange reason, it makes me think of my daughter and when she will be a grandmother, and talking to her grandchildren.....it is a humbling thought.
live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

thats interesting. thats one of the greatest things about music...how it can appeal to so many different people on so many different levels.
I lost interest in these guys years ago, but their first few albums have some excellent songs on them. "So Much To Say" is probably my favorite, followed closely by "The Last Stop".
"I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."
The Dreaming Tree, hands down. It's probably a top 5 song by any band for me. I couldn't believe they opened with it at Alpine last year... I'd heard it live before in 03, but I'd suspected it was going to be played based on that tour's patterns, so it wasn't surprising at the time. But this year... I had no idea it was coming, and they opened with it. As a specific concert memory, that will go down as one of my favorite concert moments ever.
Anyway... Before These Crowded Streets is their crowning achievement so far and, if things continue going the way they have been going, will be their crowning achievement as a band.
I also like Bartender and Two Step. Seek Up, too, which I have yet to hear live.

You Never Know is very good though.

granny is amazing. they didn't play it much on the last tour though, which was disappointing.

my second tier -
what would you say, the best of what's around, tripping billies, jimi thing, the last stop
'blue water' is also mesmerizing, haunting, and beautiful.
does anyone have a mp3 of 'you never know'

#41 and Seek Up are my 2 favorite DMB songs. I can do without everything from Everyday on but the back catalog is filled with amazing compositions.
