Rhyme & Reason

The song sounds like it's about heroin. Has Dave or anyone from the band, or anyone close them had a problem with it? I could be over looking it, but I've been getting really into this song lately, and that's been popping in my head. Thoughts?

    It's about being in a very dark place and trying to ease the pain....Needle to the vein definitely suggests heroin.

    I don't think it has ever been publicly acknowledged if anyone in the band has had a heroin problem/addiction.

    Gotcha. Wasn't sure if some of the dmb vets on here have any knowledge to it or not.

    By the letter of the law you may be correct, but by the spirit of the law there
    was no harmful intention on the part of the OP. OP was seeking to understand the meaning of a song, and if possibly it was written from a personal perspective of a band member. This is different from posting that a DMB member has a drug issue.....I'll leave it up to the mods to make a determination; that's why they earn the big bucks haha

    I think FeelingGood is referring to this...

    According to the rules:

    The Band's Privacy
    Discussion of private aspects of the lives of Dave Matthews Band, its family members and its employees is not permitted. Any information brought into the public realm by the band is acceptable, but providing directions to the homes of band members (for example) most definitely is not.

    When I heard R&R for the first time that's the first thing I thought of, but then I realized that more often than not when artists write songs they aren't necessarily writing about their own life. Kinda like when an author writes a book.
