Dave Matthews Band was formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991 by South African native singer and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, Leroi Moore, who plays a wide variety of instruments from the saxophone to the flute, violin player Boyd Tinsley, drummer Carter Beauford, and keyboardist Peter Griesar (who left the band in 1993), all of whom Dave met in Charlottesville. Since 1998 the band has performed most of their shows with keyboardist Butch Taylor, although he is not officially a member of the band. Early 1990s In the early 1990s, the band established a cult following through relentless touring with weekly stops at Virginia clubs known as Trax and Floodzone, an active taping community, and an independent LP, Remember Two Things. (Keyboardist Griesar left the band in 1993, shortly before the release of "Remember Two Things".) After signing to RCA Records, Dave Matthews Band, under the direction of producer Steve Lillywhite, released Under the Table and Dreaming in 1994, a critical and popular smash that firmly established the band's style of pop-rock with improvisational leanings. Under the Table and Dreaming would be the first of three albums released under Lillywhite's direction.

Digging A Ditch Lyrics
Dave Matthews Band
Im digging a ditch
Where madness lives
Im digging a ditch
Where my silence lives
Im diggin a ditch and when I am through
Digging this ditch Ill dig one for you
Digging a ditch
As black as cold
Digging a ditch
Where I can hide my soul
Digging a ditch
Where my secrets stay
[the newer version, from summer 2000]
Unto your dreaming
When youre alone
Unplug the tv
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause Im digging a ditch where madness gives
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch for when Im old
Digging a ditch where stories told
Where all these troubles
That weigh down on me will rise
Unto your dreaming
When youre alone
Where all these worries
Weigh heavy on my heart
Will rise, will rise, will rise...
Unto your dreaming
When youre alone
Unplug the tv
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause Im diggin a ditch where madness gives
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch and when Im through
Digging this ditch Ill dig in for you
Where all these disappointments
That grow angry out of me will rise
Unto your dremaing
When youre alone
Not what youre sure be or what youve become
Just getting heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause Im digging a ditch where madness gives
Im digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch and when Im through
Digging a ditch Ill give one you
Where all these disappointments
That grow angry out of me will rise
Unto your dreaming
When youre alone
Where all these habits
That weigh down on me will die
Will die, will die, will die...
Unto your dreaming
When youre alone
Unplug the tv
Turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
