Music Monday

The songs I post for Music Monday have usually been a part of my life for a long time. But today I'm going to post a song I just heard for the first time recently. Suddenly it became one of my favorites. I could listen to it 20 times in a row easily. It has the hard-to-find quality of having BOTH an amazing musical sound (because of the soft acoustic guitar chords and the unique quality of the voice) and incredible lyrics. On some listens I zone in on the guitar, and on others I pay more attention to the lyrics. And then others still I listen to each equally. I had heard of Dave Matthews Band before, as most people have. But I had never heard this song. I'm really glad I know about it now. And, being the kind, philanthropic person that I am, I figured I should share it.

Oh by Dave Matthews Band 2007

Hi Becky,
Saw your post with the Dave Matthews' song (it's titled "Oh"). . . Just wanted to let you know this is actually one of his solo songs -- not a song done by the whole band. It's from Dave's solo album called "Some Devil". I'm a huge fan (can you tell?) -- though not of the typical college student variety. Let's just say I'm closer to Dave's age. ;-)
Anyway, if you like this song, you'd probably really enjoy his solo album . . .
Thanks for posting. I'd never seen this particular clip before.

Thanks for the info- Julie. I was trying to look it up on Amazon because I thought I'd buy a copy. Glad to know which album to look for now.
