I often find that when my head is filled with the noise of the world around me, I need to go back to music in order to fill my head up with something more fulfilling.
I have been going through my I Tunes list and have been drawn back to the acoustic sounds of Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds “Live at Radio City” from April 2007. One of my favorite tracks from this Acoustic Concert is “Eh Hee”.
From Wikipedia:
“Eh Hee” was written as an evocation of the music and culture of the Khoisan people of southern Africa. In a story told to the Radio City audience (an edited version of which appears on the DVD version of Live at Radio City), Matthews recalls hearing the music of the Khoisan and, upon asking his guide what the words to their songs were, being told that “there are no words to these songs, because these songs, we’ve been singing since before people had words”. He goes on to describe the song as his “homage to meeting… the most advanced people on the planet”.
ENJOY!

Love your taste in music. Dave Matthews is one of my favorites!
I loved this amazing snippet — even the “nonsensical” parts of the song touched my soul!! After watching (& listening to DM’s calming voice), I was hypnotized into ordering the Radio City DVD from Amazon — I can hardly wait to experience that acoustic concert (btw, I also ordered the Central Park concert).
To hickifino and Song,
My younger son turned me onto Dave Matthews a few years back. While I like the Dave Matthews Band, his acoustic stuff hits home for me. But then again, I love me some acoustic Taylor more than anything else.
Song, you will totally enjoy the DVD and also the Central Park concert.
