Stand Up - Dream Girl Discussion (Next Single)

[montana49kcX]

it's up...dreamgirl

[walrusstapler]

Hm I can't get this clip to play... It says click here to play a sample of dreamgirl but the format is unrecognizeable.

[jay41]

Nice...

[montana49kcX]

oh, and its the second single. Ouch!

4.15.05
The Warehouse is pleased to give members the first chance to preview "Dreamgirl", the second single from Dave Matthews Band's new studio album Stand Up. Stand Up will be released on May 10th and is now available for preorder.

[TurboPGT]

is it just me or is carter using about 1% of his talent. it sounds like all of the instruments were scarambled in some kind of hip hop sound board....sounds kinda computery(if thats even a word)...anyway....i wonder how much road play these songs will have...if they get alot im expecting them to get about 100 times better....

no, Carter is using 100% of his talent....if he used any less, that would mean he was going at it half assed. This is a different sounnd for the band, and each member individually. This won't sound much like anything we've heard them do before...which for me, after 40 live shows off the all the same material, is going to be a breath of fresh air. I hoping these new songs get a LOT of road play....at least half the set list every night. It'll be great to hear like a DDTW intro, followed by Everybody Wake Up-->Out of My Hands, then out of now where is So Much To Say--->Too Much, then a little Smooth Rider, and Louisiana Bayou, then a random If I Had it All, Grey Street, Lover Lay Down--> Dream Girl...



do u see the possibilities!

[Skittlebrau6]

I've been very optimistic about the album so far, but I think that Dreamgirl clip was absolutely horrible.

Your talking as if you've heard the full songs already. I admit I liked the clips from the other day but you have no way of knowing if the full songs are going to be any good. Nobody's even heard a clip of Lousiana Bayou and your talking about it like it is a classic.

[montana49kcX]

I'm not saying I don't like Dreamgirl or American Baby, but I think out of all the other clips and Hello Again and Joy Ride, they are the weakest out of the bunch. And they are the first two singles. Makes you think...

[Nitro1515]

we've known this for awhile

[ISayItsLove]

Hm I can't get this clip to play... It says click here to play a sample of dreamgirl but the format is unrecognizeable.

I'm having the same problem....hmmmmmmmmmm

[rj_reda]

Too bad they're not full songs...

[knucks32]

we've known this for awhile

i didnt know that. guess i'm outta the loop.

[jay41]

It's been rumored before I believe, now we know for sure

[jay41]

good stuff

[cbsauder]

meh dream girl doenst sound so good.

[Davenumber40]

What are the lyrics on the DG clip? I can't understand what he says to end this line: "after a good, good -----

[MistreatedLewis]

I've been very optimistic about the album so far, but I think that Dreamgirl clip was absolutely horrible.


I'm not too impressed. I am trying to reserve judgement as much as possible until I hear the full album, but American Baby and the Dreamgirl clip aren't doing it so much for me. At least Joyride is good.

[Nitro1515]

What are the lyrics on the DG clip? I can't understand what he says to end this line: "after a good, good -----
"good good drunk" I believe

[biga9999]

I like it. :thumbsup

[jay41]

"good good drunk" I believe

Yeah, that's what I hear too

[Davenumber40]

That's what I thought it sounded like too, it just didn't make a lot of sense to me. Oh well this song isn't bad. It isn't going to be my favorite but I like it. Everyone needs to remember you can't have 11 Ants, Billies, and Nancies on a CD. If this song had been on UTTAD and you heard Pay For What You Get or Satellite now you'd probably rip them too.

[montana49kcX]

when I hear the beginning of this clip, I hear this TV show theme song...

The Courtship of Eddie's Father ("Best Friend" by Harry Nilsson)

People let me tell you 'bout my best friend,
He's a warm hearted person who'll love me till the end.
People let me tell you bout my best friend,
He's a one boy cuddly toy, my up, my down, my pride and joy.

People let me tell you 'bout him he's so much fun
Whether we're talkin' man to man or whether we're talking son to son.
Cause he's my best friend.
Yes he's my best friend.
(scat finish).


...and I don't think that's a good thing.

[shoelessjoe910]

"good good drunk" I believe
I think it is "good good DREAM" but it took me a few listens the other day to hear it. I thought originally Dave was singing "good good joint"!

[Fiorentino]

I hate to judge 41 seconds but I didn't dig that

Big fan of American Baby, I'm going to keep the faith..

[opshannon]

I couldn't play it at first either. Downloaded media player again and it worked fine. If you haven't heard it yet, I guess it's worth the effort, but a less than impressive song IMO.

[Matt1838]

It's a great clip, I think - especially for grabbing a random fourty seconds. It fades out right as the song is changing, unfortunately.

Like the guy said above, take a second and think... new DMB album, you go to Warehouse and listen to Satellite for the first time.. and not the whole song (through which you could see how pretty a song it is), but just a random 40 seconds.. say the first verse. "Less than impressive" would certainly be my first opinion.

[carterpeart]

The last 10 sec. of the clip makes me think this song could go somewhere. All we get is pretty much the chorus. The end of the clip as it fades has some great potential, which I think might be a verse.....listen to what Carter is doing with the "marching" type drum fills....it could be a winner, we will see

[pj4real29]

i didnt know that. guess i'm outta the loop.

i hadn't heard this before either

[NonsenseLion]

I'm not too impressed. I am trying to reserve judgement as much as possible until I hear the full album, but American Baby and the Dreamgirl clip aren't doing it so much for me. At least Joyride is good.
i really like american baby and the other clips that were out. from just the clip, i dont really like dream girl that much, the way i dont like satellite or crash or something, but not like angel or sleep to dream her, that i would actually like to never hear again

[Matt1838]

they can't

[demar727]

The end of Dreamgirl sounds like the Baywatch theme.. :lol

[taphntm]

dream girl>:twak<I did it

space between>:twak<dream girl

[twostep721]

yeah, dreamgirl has that "radio" sound to it. well, from the clip, anyway

[jay41]

dream girl>:twak<I did it

space between>:twak<dream girl

Umm, okay :ugh

[Orpheus]

Guess that means it's streaming now?

[xxcrushme40xx]

dreamgirl is good but reminds me alot of the cheesy everyday love songs like angel
old dirt hill sounds awesome i love it kinda has a lil pig-ish feel to it thru the verse
out of my hands is very greyblueeye or something off some devil
smooth rider - butter! sounds like no other dmb song or atleast nothing comes to mind
stand up - im in an acoustic band and we play alot of funk....this is freakin' awesome
wake up - dont really like it but the words are coool


my . 02

[taphntm]

dream girl>:twak<I did it

space between>:twak<dream girl

just for clarity, this is my review. It is superior to any others.

Thanks for the impressions--they're essential for those of us too cheap or broke to join that monstrosity called THE WAREHOUSE. :lol

[RetardedMonkey]

we've known this for awhile

Yes, it's been mentioned in passing before, but this is the first confirmation from the band, which is always nice to have.

The Warehouse is pleased to give members the first chance to preview "Dreamgirl", the second single from Dave Matthews Band's new studio album Stand Up.

:thumbsup Thanks for the head up. :)

[jay41]

Guess that means it's streaming now?

Yup, it's up

[clayj41]

Well I just listened to the Dream Girl clip, and I don't know what to think. I didn't like it, but I didn't hate it either. When the clip is ending, I really like the direction that the song is starting to go in. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait until May 10th to see how the whole thing comes together.

[crushme36]

yeah, dreamgirl has that "radio" sound to it. well, from the clip, anyway

yeah i can definitely see this song getting a lot of radio time

[OneSweetPhish]

no sir i don't like it!...have to hear the whole thing first..but don't like it so far

[timg1414]

i like it sounds pretty good

[pmag78]

Seems like a really mellow way to start an album since it's track 1. Songs like SMTS,IDI,BOWA really got you going. I am sure it sounds good in its entirerity, but sounds like a slow way to start the album.

[killymagee2000]

Well I just listened to the Dream Girl clip, and I don't know what to think. I didn't like it, but I didn't hate it either. When the clip is ending, I really like the direction that the song is starting to go in. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait until May 10th to see how the whole thing comes together.

I just took a listen and I'm neither here nor there on it too. I guess I need a little more to go on before I can judge.

[TripPin BilLie]

cant hear it..damn warehouse :BANG

[MistreatedLewis]

From what I am hearing, Everybody Wake Up would make a much better single -- and is a better song! But of course cannot really decide this until we hear full songs.

[taphntm]

cant hear it..damn warehouse :BANG

it's an asx file... make sure you update your windows media player so it will work

[TripPin BilLie]

it's an asx file... make sure you update your windows media player so it will work

do u know where i can download that?

[joepsu0985]

Yeah i can dig this...It sounds pretty good.....It almost sounds like a full band track from Dave's solo album

[TobiasClown]

i know this i sthe dreamgirl thread but out of my hands is a great song
i juts love the piano
and i agree dreamgirl will be a successful radio song

[MidwestDrummer]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/TampaBayDrummer/Miscellaneous%20Pics/WheresCarter.jpg

[Bullsman898989]

Yeah I agree - i feel like DMB has taken a step back in their musical progression to go from These Crowded Streets to Busted Stuff(the good stuff) and now to the two newer albums (Everyday and Stand Up) It just seems like something is out of place. I know a lot of them commented on how all the members have had more input in writing the songs now. Maybe they should go back to the old way where one member (Dave) wrote all the songs? Anyone feel the same?

[kmsracer]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/TampaBayDrummer/Miscellaneous%20Pics/WheresCarter.jpg

that made me laugh for a full 15 seconds or so!

haha

[joepsu0985]

This doesnt remind me of everyday in any way..I used to cringe when I heard Angel...I can listen to this...Its smoothe...ED songs were rough and kind of heavy...This song is the kind you play to a girl you want to get with...plain and simple...This would woo a girl for sure

[nonewdirections]

if this is the same clip as yesterday, i'm not impressed. sounded like poop, though a few of the other clips were worse.

[Gregb486]

not great, not bad. need to hear the whole thing, itll prob grow on me.

[joepsu0985]

Dave will never write lyrics as he did as on BTCS..You have to remember most of the songs on the albums prior to Everyday were written in the 90s...Dave was young...he liked to party it up...He is 30 and matured a great deal..Its tough to write a song like "Say Goodbye" when you are married and have kids..

[joepsu0985]

Is it..

You're like my best friend after a good good drunk or good good joke?

[ryguy178]

Is it..

You're like my best friend after a good good drunk or good good joke?

figuring out this word has been killing me in the last 2 days...

[joepsu0985]

I know dude...Im likeing the good good drunk...it sounds better...

[Nitro1515]

Is it..

You're like my best friend after a good good drunk or good good joke?I cranked it up through my speakers and I'm definitely hearing "good good drunk"

[joepsu0985]

awesome...

[joepsu0985]

Ahh now im hearing joke..wtf

[ryguy178]

good good jump?

[JenniferK22]

Is anyone else still having trouble opening this to listen? I re-downloaded media player and it still won't play? Any ideas?

[firedncr4136]

I don't hate it that's for sure, but it's definitely way to early to judge, at least for me. No matter what, I'm still excited for this new album. Oh and I also thought it was "good good joint" the first time I heard it. I still can't figure that word out! :goat

[seek up and #41]

i really like all the clips, dreamgirl was okay

[joepsu0985]

Thats what I think I heard just now

[shoelessjoe910]

Thats what I think I heard just now
I'm glad I ain't the only one!

[joepsu0985]

Damn...im perplexed...It cant be joint becasue of the other lyrics...It might be drunk...Joke would be too cheesy i think

[shoelessjoe910]

Damn...im perplexed...It cant be joint becasue of the other lyrics...It might be drunk...Joke would be too cheesy i think
I really think it is meant to be "dream"!

[joepsu0985]

hmmm...could be...that might be the word

[ryguy178]

dream doesn't seem to fit, he would be using it too often..

i think joint has its possibilities...

[jaird]

i thought it was joint.
or maybe hes referencing the song and saying good good junk.

[joepsu0985]

its drunk..i just asked 4 people..and they all said drunk

[Nitro1515]

its drunk..i just asked 4 people..and they all said drunk
Yes, its definitely drunk. I don't know how you guys are getting the word joint, the sound of a D and then a U are quite clear.

[trpnbillie11]

The first 30 seconds sounds like a John Mayer song, the fade out sounds very promising though...


Just wait for it.

[luke7]

I haven't heard any of the clips except Joyride, which I thought was weak. American Baby is slightly above average. My hope in the bands studio work has been fading ever since I heard ED and LWS (strong) after hearing BS (weak). Many of you don't like the clips and I now fear what I've had a strong feeling about for a few years now. DMB's best studio days are behind them. They're listening to outside sources trying to get them to adapt their sound to sell more albums. Plus Dave's voice is getting worse over time.

The best studio days are behind them. Sad but I fear true. Thank goodness for the tours.

[The Lado]

What are the lyrics on the DG clip? I can't understand what he says to end this line: "after a good, good -----

That would be 'joke.' Anyhow, we can't judge this album or songs until we hear all of the song. Its like eating a Big Mac, if you only eat the bun it sucks. Myslef, well I like Dream Girl and Stand Up so far, but like I said, I could hate them in the end. I think we all need to relax, then come May 11th we can love it or hate it.

[kmdaly]

Not too sure very radio which is not neccesarily a bad thing but hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Kook]

do we know the date when it's gonna be released as a single?

I'm not too impressed by the clip...sounds pretty...blah.

Dave's using "good good" a little too much, IMO.

[justinandimcool]

So the clip is only available to WH members?

As much as I don't want to admit it, you're right.

[rmattwill]

is the clip the same that was posted a few days ago?

[jmbasquiat]

well I don't know if they won't make a good studio album some time in the future, but I don't like where this band is going on their albums--total pop Britany Spears shit godDAMNIT!!. If Dave wouldn't have done his solo project I don't know how much interest I'd have in this album...

[DukeBlueJD]

I think it is "good good DREAM" but it took me a few listens the other day to hear it. I thought originally Dave was singing "good good joint"!

I originally thought it was "you're like my best friend after a good good joke..."

[luke7]

Someone asked an interesting question over on nancies.

" How Would You Produce DMB ? "

I'm too lazy to search right now.

[demoman1596]

It sounds like he's saying "after a good good jump". And for the people talking about Dave losing his singing ability, listen to the vocals in the background during the chorus. Probably some of the more beautiful wailing he's ever done. It's much easier to hear with headphones...

[Nitro1515]

I cannot wait to laugh at some of you once we get the official lyrics on this. It is definitely drunk, there is no "J" sound in there whatsoever

[CornellDMBfan]

is it still working for everyone else? cuz it' ain't for me . . .

[LuV4rocknroll]

I like what I've heard!!! Can't wait to hear it all live.

[dmbosw41]

yeah this song is growing on me and that line where it cuts off...my back to the ocean....sounds like it could have a great breakdown by carter. Its gonna be this album's Crash into me.

[CornellDMBfan]

are you listening to it through WH right now? cuz it's not working for me through WH, and it's starting to piss me off cuz I wanna hear it!

[LuV4rocknroll]

After listening to it again it sounds like 'after a good good drunk ' to me.

[Nitro1515]

After listening to it again it sounds like 'after a good good drunk ' to me.
:thumbsup

[CornellDMBfan]

After listening to it again it sounds like 'after a good good drunk ' to me.
when I heard the clip leaks, that's what I thought it was

[dmbkristin]

Dave was young...he liked to party it up...He is 30 and matured a great deal..
Dave would be flattered.. :lol He's actually 38. :p That may have been a typo, but it was still amusing to me.

It seems most likely to be "drunk" to me too. It's definitely not "dream." After all, this is what maloo posted on ufck about dreamgirl after the Stowe Listening Party last weekend:


The lyrics are Dave at his bashful yet horny best. They may seem a little cheesy at times but on the second go-round I paid more attention to his delivery and it's very child-like and honest so even when he's saying "dream girl" in the chorus, you buy it. Talks about drinking and making love after a deep sleep in which he's dreaming of his "dreamgirl".

[davehead34]

Just listened to it. I don't particularly care for, but it is just a clip and I'd be lying if I said it doesn't have a chance to at least grow on me.

It seems like Dave's lyrics are more spoken word than even sung now. What's up with that? Is it just me or does it seem like he's constantly talking through his songs?

[Chaddington]

Listening to it again, I don't think it's all that bad for radioplay. I'll give it a chance to grow on me when I hear it full on the album.

[gummbey]

I know I only heard like 30 seconds but it was plenty. Dreamgirl is not a good song.

[CrashInto41]

i like it, i think it has a lot of potential live

[TripPin BilLie]

anybody know why this crap wont work for me either? i must have downloaded 10 different things for this to work and it still doesnt im gettin mad :BANG

[fliggil]

eh, I think it's ok at best. I think if we were listening to that same song, but being sung by anyone else, it would be really bad, his vocals are the only think making it for me right now.

[yankeeMan888]

that is exactly what i have been noticing and wondering about. it seems as if hes not really singing it, more just talking. but with my luck right after the fade he'll start belting out some lines and make my post here wrong.

[Chaddington]

I like the music more than the words or vocals right now... it's simple, but I feel like the music could lift me and sweep me away, especially live in concert with good lighting cues. ;)

I'm not going to be quick to bash this one just yet.

This album feels alot more like Some Devil did... not only the music style, but trying to anticipate full songs based on 40 second clips.

For what it's worth, a number of those clips were not very appealing, but some of these full songs turned out great. Anyone remember how the clicking in the Stay or Leave clip caused the biggest uproar? Yet it's one of my favorite tracks on the album.

Just sharing some of my perspective...

[ARFiredancer]

OK...from what I gather the only clip that is currently out there and available to listen to officially is Dreamgirl...right? The other clips got pulled from the internet right?? I heard Joyride, Dreamgirl, and of course American Baby. Did I miss something or am I right on?

[Nitro1515]

Listen to the background vocals during the chorus you can hear him wailing away.

[dmbfan524]

for those having problems...click on lo instead of hi. that is what i did and it worked

[dmbfan524]

btw....i love it. from the clip anyway

[smudge1]

Listen to the background vocals during the chorus you can hear him wailing away.
yes...I think it might have live potential...
but then again...what the hell do I know. :D

[smudge1]

I think it has a #41 kinda feel to it.....is this a verse...or the chorus?

[Nitro1515]

I think it has a #41 kinda feel to it.....is this a verse...or the chorus?
Its the verse then the chorus, then you hear a little breakdown before the clip ends

[dmbkristin]

OK...from what I gather the only clip that is currently out there and available to listen to officially is Dreamgirl...right? The other clips got pulled from the internet right?? I heard Joyride, Dreamgirl, and of course American Baby. Did I miss something or am I right on?
That's correct.

[smudge1]

Its the verse then the chorus, then you hear a little breakdown before the clip endswho knows...they could break into a little LIOG interlude... :rolleyes

[dmbkristin]

Maybe the lyrics are more simplistic so Dave can remember them.

[Evans]

i remember hearing the clips from Everyday and thinking "eh, that'll be better when i hear it in my car on the day of release".

and it wasn't.

On another note, someone here mentioned wanting to see "if i had it all" this summer...why? Did you not hear it enough over the last 4 years? I am SICK of that song, totally drab, totally uninspired, eck....the only thing i ever want to hear again off of ED is "everyday" and "fool to think***".

I'm noticing a disturbing trend with the dmb...they tease new material over the summer then scrap it in exchange for sub par material on a studio release. THEN, they tease you by putting a reminder in said subpar studio material of the songs you REALLY wanted to hear in its place.

Example: WTWE: "oh grace is....oh grace" (what'd he say! Grace is gone? THATS what i wanted!)

and now Dreamgirl: "after a good good dream" (huuuuh? Good good TIME?! Daaave...)

***only because of the sax breakdown, love that part.

[beband]

Sounding off just cause I'm bored and watched a sh***y movie. I think thi slabum has a very mellow feel so far. I've only heard AB and DG. I wouldn't mind mellow, but I was hoping for more. I am a fan of U2 and they went through there dance music phase starting with Achtung-Pop. Maybe this is DMB's experimental phase. Which means we have one more experimental album to go. That's ok, you need that every once in awhile to find your direction. I just hope the yfinally find it. My opinion is therefore, wait and see. Neither song has made me get up and say "YES this is it!" But neither has made me want to sell all my DMB to the used cd store either.
BTW - where did everybody get all the other clips? Are they still out there?? Can I get them so I can hear them?
C

[smudge1]

Maybe the lyrics are more simplistic so Dave can remember them.
maybe simplistic...because less is more..... :lol
more room to work with live...

be careful with requesting that which we do not speak of.

[smudge1]

Dream Girl ....this tune is about a wet-dream. :lol :lol

[beband]

be careful with requesting that which we do not speak of.
Sorry, just jealous that others have heard more than me.
not requesting anything...big brother...I am just ummmm yeah...not requesting...blah blah blah :rolleyes

[justinandimcool]

I don't even know where to get DreamGirl so don't feel that left out.

[goodneighbor]

very mellow, i hope the song goes somewhere. I really don't think that its horrible though...time will tell.

[gryspn41]

Boyd souns excellent in the background and it softens the song a lot. A very good song IMO. This is gonna be a great album and a great Summer. I think it's funny that some people hate the album after hearing 30 seconds of 8 songs at the most. They're teasing us. :hump :hump

Well, we know Dave won't be forgetting the lyrics in the chorus. :lol

So do you guys think the person he's addressing when he sings "You're like my best friend..." is the same person as the "dreamgirl" that he's dreaming about? I've heard some people say it's the same person, while some people say it's not.

[Evans]

Sorry, just jealous that others have heard more than me.
not requesting anything...big brother...I am just ummmm yeah...not requesting...blah blah blah :rolleyes

its good that you don't request these things. It was good that you didn't ever do that. That way you won't be wished into the field.

[dman0808]

the song clip starts off slow and blah...although it sounded like it was going somewhere and getting better around the end.

[Mickey Carson]

not bad...doesn't change my anticipation level either way...

[dmb2much40]

Boyd sounds excellent in the background and it softens the song a lot.

i noticed that too, i really like what he's doing in the background :thumbsup

btw, i usually use firefox but couldn't get the clip to play. using IE and clicking the link made it work.

[smudge1]

ok...I change my postition on the lyrics...I think it's about passing-out with a fat chick.....dreaming of a hot chick...waking up with morning-wood...and fucking her.. :lol

[40crush41]

...This is a different sounnd for the band, and each member individually. This won't sound much like anything we've heard them do before...which for me, after 40 live shows off the all the same material, is going to be a breath of fresh air. I hoping these new songs get a LOT of road play....at least half the set list every night. ...

do u see the possibilities!

(I havn't read through the thread..) but this struck me, in a good way, b/c until just now i forgot about all the complaints during the summer about how Everything was Exactly the same and then how the fans wanted dmb to break away from the same "dmb formula" that can be applied to every song. Remember that? and this made it all come rushing back to me.
looks like dmb answered our prayers.. be careful what you wish for? we'll see.

so had a listen to the clip, im the type that needs to hear it through to determine what i think of it -gotta know the whole story. take stay or leave, u gave me the end by itself? id shove it out a 10 story building, whole song? it makes sense, it fits, i like it. the mood change and what not, yeeea, thats what i like =) so dream girl, too much is missing, i do like the timing, but i think its a bit layered, but eh -thats studio

blah blah blah... yeaaaaaaaa, we are in pathetic need to hear this cd.

[krameruth]

andddd I've been sitting here for over an hour downloading new versions of WMP and it still doesnt work....whats going on? this sucks

[Kyle#41_7985]

this was actually maybe my favorite clip after first listen. It seems to be a good choice as a first single and it definitely sounds like a more quality song than a Space Between for instance.

[granny21]

I think Dream Girl is going to be a great song. A lot of feel went into this album and i think that it will produce more crowd pleasers in shows compared to everyday and busted stuff. I like the mellow beginning in an album.

[yanks7533]

i'm really feeling this stuff...like i loved busted stuff...but to me that and the lws are great but it doesnt help the band progress...everyday was different but it jjust wasn't anything to dwell on

what i get form these clips is damn....new stuff...creative...more upbeat and listenable than busted stuff...hmmm...it wont be their ebst but they will never top their first three albums...or wait if we listen to the album a few times...maybe it's really good?

anyway i think if people keep their heads open we'll be fine...as for joyride lover's...im glad they left it off...it doesnt sound like anyhting special....hopefully we'll still hear it and the others

[joepsu0985]

wow positive reviews on ants? Its about damn time

[danster]

wow positive reviews on ants? Its about damn time

good point there, i'll also add that i really do like this song, seems like a good song to smoke a bowl to

[ServeS0mebody]

i just relistened to dreamgirl....and im on mushrooms...believe me or not...i just got done with band practice, chilling with the boys, etc...i have a rolling stone article where it says they had mushroom tea in the fridge....i listened to this clip and i actually felt something really strong...at the end when he talks about being on the shore and with his back turned and the wave comes....its sooo intense....i understand dave right now...maybe im just tripping...but this song so strongly conveys freethinking eroticism....daves just singing about what he loves...sex....freedom...and emotion...what else is new?...this is what hes been doing the whole time...just now hes older and the band sounds great....except stefan...ehhh...what can you do?....ill prob. get flamed for this post and for being on mushrooms or whatever...but hey...im fucking loving life ...im loving good music...and im not worrying about anything....i got 99 problems but the bitch aint one:hump

i love it

i want to put that as my sig

[davehead34]

Listen to the background vocals during the chorus you can hear him wailing away.

I'll definitely check it out again - not now - but I'll definitely check it out soon. NOTHING beats Dave wailing live. NOTHING. I certainly hope you're right bro.

[demoman1596]

I'll definitely check it out again - not now - but I'll definitely check it out soon. NOTHING beats Dave wailing live. NOTHING. I certainly hope you're right bro.
There's no question... it's in the background, but it is absolutely Dave wailing. Granted, it's likely that he won't be doing the background wailing live... (the wailing starts in the beginning of the chorus and continues through the breakdown at the end of the clip)

This isn't directed toward you personally, but sometimes it seems like you guys didn't read any of the original listening party reviews, any of the ski resort reviews, or watch any of the video clips.

[Nitro1515]

I'll definitely check it out again - not now - but I'll definitely check it out soon. NOTHING beats Dave wailing live. NOTHING. I certainly hope you're right bro.
Trust me its definitely there, but I don't think it will be there live because its all layered like demoman said.

[Dankguitar]

this song has potential but from all the clips i heard I'm not liking all the one or two word choruses. They're gonna get old pretty quickly because of that.

[The41stStone]

anyone figure out why the clip isnt working

[gummbey]

wow positive reviews on ants? Its about damn time

something has to be good to get positive reviews

[twostep66]

my thoughts exactly. the warehouse could have used a better clip than that.

[Sniper15]

Since it is the second single will Dream Girl get released for radio play possibily before May 10th.

[TurboPGT]

the only good thing about one or two word choruses is that it gives Dave an infinite amount of room to add lyrics live.....which im sure he will....


Dream Girl is fickin sweet

Fuck yes :hump

[msb3079]

yeah... i first listened to DG yesterday and did not like it one bit. well, didn't HATE it, but didn't care much for it...

after "sleeping on it" haha and listening more this morning... i like it. i like the detail in the background (dave's wailing, etc) at first i didn't listen close - i just heard a bland pop beat. but i am digging it now - i'm digging the sound it has right now, the chances of what the full song may sound like and even more - the live potential!

[2stepnstone]

That would be 'joke.' Anyhow, we can't judge this album or songs until we hear all of the song. Its like eating a Big Mac, if you only eat the bun it sucks. Myslef, well I like Dream Girl and Stand Up so far, but like I said, I could hate them in the end. I think we all need to relax, then come May 11th we can love it or hate it.

Amen! We've heard about 4 minutes of music from this album (some of us), and folks are already bitchin. I respect everyones opinion and could understand the dissappointment if the album flops, but I'm not taking any stock until I've heard it all.

I'm just happy my favorite band is still rockin after about 15 years and still has the desire to make new music and tour every summer. Things could be a lot worse.

Oh, and i like what I've heard from Dreamgirl so far, love the potential at the end of the clip!

~Peace

Well know the warehouse is a little slow mentally (ie: the mousepad they sent us that no one can use)...so they don't consider everybody. Yet if you both try saving the link to the desktop it'll work.

Not a fan of this song, but then again im not really a fan of any of the singles they release to the radio. American Baby isnt too bad though.

WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH. :D

[d1gw33d]

Yeah I agree - i feel like DMB has taken a step back in their musical progression to go from These Crowded Streets to Busted Stuff(the good stuff) and now to the two newer albums (Everyday and Stand Up) It just seems like something is out of place. I know a lot of them commented on how all the members have had more input in writing the songs now. Maybe they should go back to the old way where one member (Dave) wrote all the songs? Anyone feel the same?

BS songs were indeed written before ED.. but ED came out first ;)

[CornellDMBfan]

as far as radio singles go, I like it. I can see this having the same popularity as Crash Into Me when it comes out

[BDJCL3]

This may have been already explained and I apologize. But do you have to be a warehouse member to listen? Thanks

[Route2]

hey i cant get the WH clip to work but is it the same one that some of us (well many of us) may have gotten ahold of a couple days ago?

[rubyy3]

dreamgirl, i wonder if it was written about me...j/k

[goochylittlepig]

I've been very optimistic about the album so far, but I think that Dreamgirl clip was absolutely horrible.
what have you been optimistic about then?

[CornellDMBfan]

hey i cant get the WH clip to work but is it the same one that some of us (well many of us) may have gotten ahold of a couple days ago?
yep, same one . . . I had trouble with it, too, at first. have you tried right clicking and selecting "save as?" that worked for me

[TurboPGT]

I can't wait to hear the whole song....


...the whole album.

This is going to be a great summer.

[marching_ant]

Im having a newbie moment.. where can I hear this?

oh, its on warehouse is it
alright then

[ravenjames]

Is there any DMB song you don't like? Maybe I am getting too old for this poppy sounding shit. American Baby is a terriblle song, and this one is even worse. I am glad I am not going to any shows this summer. Maybe after 8 years and 30 somethig shows, a break from the music will be a good thing.

well poppy refers to "popular"...and DMB certainly isn't popular, as in mainstream popular. These songs certainly won't put them there either.

I didn't know your age was supposed to be an indicator of what can and cannot like. I'm 27, does that make me too old to like Stand Up?

[dmbstan]

The last 10 sec. of the clip makes me think this song could go somewhere. All we get is pretty much the chorus. The end of the clip as it fades has some great potential, which I think might be a verse.....listen to what Carter is doing with the "marching" type drum fills....it could be a winner, we will see

sounds like it could be the bridge

[dmbstan]

i don't like the idea of haveing to let these new songs grow on me. i should be able to like a song after the listen, especiall from DMB

[joepsu0985]

Amen! I have a feeling this tour is going to kick major ass.

did i say that?

[BustedJeff]

Amen! I have a feeling this tour is going to kick major ass.

I just hope they don't forget about the old songs that won them so many fans in the first place. If they can balance out the new with the old, I'll be very happy.

[TurboPGT]

If that were true, Before These Crowded Streets would be my least favorite album rather than my #1 favorite

[BeQuietAndDrive]

I just hope they don't forget about the old songs that won them so many fans in the first place. If they can balance out the new with the old, I'll be very happy.

They always do. They'll play about 33-40% of the show from Stand Up I'm guessing, but we will get classics. No doubt.

I did go back and listen to it and I heard the wailing :thumbsup So thanks for that.

True, I didn't read most of the listening party posts. I wish I had time, but I can't read every post of every thread I'd like to. I'm sure this goes for most of the Ants, as well. I did, however, read one of the reviews on there. :)

[Mave Datthews]

well gee folks i wish i could share in your excitement, but as mentioned before by a few other people, i can't get the damn thing to play.

thanks, Windows.

any suggestions???

[DavMattBandrums]

i really like the dream girl clip, i think out of all the clips it shows a cool new style! let some people have said, the last few seconds show the song going into a new grove which im liking alot!!! but smooth rider and dream girl are up there with hello again, joyride, and american baby as great new flesh songs of the album. i cant wait to hear SR and DG live!!! by the time it gets to randall and darien lake it will be sweet to see how these songs have changed and devleoped into "DMB" songs!

[davehead34]

well gee folks i wish i could share in your excitement, but as mentioned before by a few other people, i can't get the damn thing to play.

1- Save the link to your CPU.
2- Right click the saved link and open with WMP or Realplayer.

That's what i have to do.

[OCMarsh]

....aaaaaaaaaannd Dreamgirl is my least favorite clip.

[Matt1838]

i don't like the idea of haveing to let these new songs grow on me. i should be able to like a song after the listen, especiall from DMB

The only DMB album that I immediately loved was Crash. All the rest, BTCS included, took time to grow on me. I find that songs I immediately latch on to are the ones I become sick of later on.

[Head In Hands]

You know, Im getting a little angry. Well frustrated is more like it. I've been a fan for years, and I am just not seeing what I used to. I understand if the band is looking for a new style but I have to say that I hate what is turning out to be this pop-like cookie cutter, radio style, "dancable" crap. I am sorry, I don't regret it, I will miss the old Dave Matthews Band, I will still attend the concert that I have tickets for already, and I will have a good time, but this is not the band that I fell in love with in the 7th grade. I miss them. I miss getting chills from listening to new songs and I miss being facinated with every twist and turn of the music. I never thought I would hear a chorus from the Dave Matthews Band that was "Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl, Dreamgirl..." c'mon! I am just getting a little frustrated. Maybe I am totally wrong and off base, and maybe when I get the album, which I will, I will be blown away. Although I doubt it, I suppose its possible. But I am getting depressed just listening to them head down a slippery slope musically.

danceable is fine if well-executed. pop is fine if it's good pop. mainstream stuff tends to be neither of these things though.

i'm generally leaning your way though.

It just kind of makes me sad. I have fond memories of concerts where i felt high because the music was so amazing. I felt lifted off of the ground by it, I haven't felt that with any of their music recently.

Well there was You Never Know. And I liked a lot of Some Devil. I heard Stay or Leave the first time it was ever played and it made me feel just like that.

[Head In Hands]

I was underimpressed with YNK, i was more excited for something new than i was about its musical quality, I disliked most of Some Devil, but it did have some redeaming qualities, but it was okay because it wasnt DMB it was only Dave doing his thing, I just feel like he never let go, let loose on the album, and I did love gravedigger. SOL was good, just good.

[yonono911]

I was actually suprised by how good this clip was, a new groovy sound. Very good single, i'm thinking, even after 41 seconds. I think this new more techy thing will dissapear a little in the concerts though and we'll see how cool of a song this actually is. More pure!

[Head In Hands]

Heres to hoping youre right but fearing youre wrong.

[ltemp56]

Ya, I agree. Just think how DDTW sounds on BTCS and what it sounds like live. HUGE difference.

By the way, I haven't seen abything about this yet. There have been many questions raised about guests on the album, does anybody here the female voice singing back up during the "...caught by a wave, my back to the ocean..." part? Anyone have any idea who it could be?

[dmbkristin]

Nope, not a guest, it's Dave.

41 seconds long ... definately a sign of good things to come. Coincidence? I think not!

[yonono911]

41 seconds long ... definately a sign of good things to come. Coincidence? I think not!

41 good seconds is atleast a start to 4 good minutes of a song. Lets hope atleast. Plus, this is the chorus, which usually is less enjoyable than the verse.

[antsdmb]

I don't post often here cause dave boards are completely out of hand and a lot of times not even worth your time. if you don't like the music they're putting out now then don't listen to them. it's as simple as that. the band is going through their own progressions and making music they like. if this is what makes them happy then that's all that matters. am i not right about that? sure they want to please their fans but not at their expense. they need to make music they enjoy and feel emotionally and not music they think will just make fans happy. some people on this board are really unbelievable.

there's not one thing wrong w/ saying you're not feeling the song or something along those lines. but when you start complaining about how you dont like the direction of the band and how times used to be so great during certain years blah blah blah really need to get a life. let the band make the music they want and if you don't like it don't listen. simple as that. :monkey i know i'm gonna get nailed over this but i can't get over how some of you react.

[klobb]

this song reminds me of crush

[manninta]

I heard the 40 sec clip of Dream Girl for the first time today. I could not have asked for a better clip of the second single. It's nice and basic but it has something special about it that only certain muscians can make apparent in a song. If the rest of the song is like this clip I think we will have another Crash into Me size single on our hands and most imortantly a great song.

you probably will get flamed for that, sooner or later...its a shame because what you said is 100% truth.

If you have been browsing here lately, you'd see there are, in fact, people here who feel that it is DMB's sole responsibility to please them.

its mind blowing

[bartender1162]

i find it funny that the title of this thread is "AntsMarching.org Dreamgirl discussion."

it makes it sound like we stole the discussion from Nancies or AMI and branded it to make it ours...

[CarterBoydBear]

Hm I can't get this clip to play... It says click here to play a sample of dreamgirl but the format is unrecognizeable.
me too...

[ericvol]

After about 10 listens it definatly grows on you very fast. I think this song is really magical and the breakdown at the end could fade into a pretty badass jam live, ala Pig, Grey street....I am struggling with whether or not to listen to the rest of the clips or just hold my trigger finger and totally soak it in when it first comes out...THE AGONY....THE CLIPS DRIVE ME INSANE!!! Can't wait for may flippin 10th...

Ohh, alrighty then :babe

[Sniper15]

im sure we'll get too many classics as usual.

Honestly, for me my favorite tour year was 2001. So much new material made for great concerts, and with fewer classics mixed in at just the right spots it was great. Since then, they've picked a few new songs from BS and ED, play the same damn ones every night, and the rest is classics. There are songs that need a B..R..E..A..K.


I know exactly what you mean my man. The 2001 sets were all very diverse and made the classics so much more special. People take things like: Rapunzel, Stone, Crash, LIOG, DIDO, for granted. The 2004 sets were weak in my opinion, they were just so damn similar. I saw the same show give or take a song or two many times in 2004. The band is only human also, so they get tired of playing the older songs every night that they have played every night for years. With a new album although we won't get as many performances of older songs the ones we do get will be killer versions. A lot of people think that the Folsom Crash is one of the stronger versions, I agree. The band hadn't played it a lot that tour so when they did play it they put everything into it. Seeing the progression of new songs is also awesome, look at Hello Again as a perfect example. Hello Again evolved and got much more intense as the summer went on. In 2001, the band was also ready to play many classics it takes them awhile to play usually. Watchtower usually never debuts until a good amount of show into a tour, they were ready to rock it the first night in 2001, I see the same thing happening in 2005. They will be ready to play things like: #41, Two Step, and Watchtower right off the bat. 2005 should be an epic tour. :monkey

I have Windows Media Player 10 but I can't get the clip to work from the Warehouse website. Just wondering if anyone else was having this problem.

[elliot]

i have the latest windows media player for mac and i haven't been able to get it to work either.

[DMBfan22J]

I was not able to get it to work either, but oh well I can wait until the album comes out to hear the songs. It will be more of a surprise for myself.

[timg1414]

i just listened to it 20 min ago

[twostepchris]

i've had on-and-off success with it. sometimes it works just fine, other times (at night for some reason) it says my media player wont do it. so, i guess just keep trying it every now and then, and i'll bet it'll work for ya eventually

Wow...that's really confusing!

[Scotty_L]

Nope, not a guest, it's Dave.

So it's just Dave singing a high voice and it's just layered? I could have sworn that was another chick's voice. I'm going crazy...

[eevulhomer]

I think this song blows big time. Just MO.

For clarification, I'm nt talking about the "lion king" wailing. The voice sings the "caught by a wave..." part with dave at the 40 second mark. I can here it more as the song fades out. Maybe I'm still just making this up

[wvumascotdmb]

i love this little clip! buzzin my head right now and probably all day long to that effect!

[benney]

Reckon Butch will sample the vocal parts live so they can pull off the vocal effect? I'm thinking they'll probably just not have that bit live but that would be a big shame.

[DomM41]

very different from anything I've really heard, cant judge a book by it's cover, or a cd by a song.

..or a song by a clip.



Dream Girl does nothing for me from this clip, but I have no idea how I'll like the song.

[_Scout_]

In general, I reserve judgement until I can hear the entire song. However, I will say that the mental imagery inspired by the lyrics are very nice. I like the way Dave writes about love and relationships. I like the idea of my man thinking I'm his Dream Girl.

[darbini]

so are we thinking that the next song will post around 4pm today?

I agree. I like to reserve judgment and the mental imagery evoked by the song, and the title, is very provacative. Do we know if this is one of the songs that Dave wrote, or one of the band members?

[smudge1]

that seems like a pretty good guess to me.

Not a 100% sure Dave wrote it, but it sounds like Dave (you know what I mean?). Some one else says it sounds like an extension of Crush and I agree.

[joepsu0985]

Smoothe Rider is up.

[Parker]

it sux, whats new.

[Npys3]

When they put Smooth Rider up, did they take down the clip of Dream Girl? Because i cant find it

[FJM005]

I wouldn't worry about Carter guys.....he said in the video that he was less "busy" and that he added more percussion rather than just drums.

MAY 10TH BABY!

[bphlzl]

. Plus Dave's voice is getting worse over time.

i don't think that is true at all. dave has sounded better the 5 times i've seen them live over the past 2 years than he did on red rocks or remember two things.

[eisnach41]

yes, there is a new one everyday, but they also take down the other one

[AlaskaFox]

Why did this become unpinned?

That's an interesting comment. I once read an interview with Dave where he spoke about how some people criticized Carter's playing as "too busy" and that he never really understood why that was a criticism. I wonder if the band has felt for awhile that Carter should tone it down on the albums? I hope not.

[oshman800]

i was wondering if anyone had any information on when this single is being released since the album is only 2 weeks away?
