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.

I Did It Lyrics
Dave Matthews Band
I did it
Im mixing up a bunch of magic stuff
A magic mushroom cloud of care
A potion that will rock the boat will rock
Make a bomb of love and blow it up
I did it
Do you think Ive gone too far
I did it
Guilty as charged
I did it
It was me right or wrong
I did it
Yeah
I never did a single thing that did a single thing to
Change the ugly ways of the world
I didnt know it felt so right inside
I didnt know it all
Open up the curtains I heard sirens there the lights flash and crawl
I did it justice I just did it for the buzz
Its a nickel or a dime for what Ive done
The truth is that I dont really care
For such a lovely crime Ill do the time
You better lock me up Ill do it again

Change the ugly ways of the world

All you people are the skewers of our dreams
Like the cat collared me
Oh what I gotta say to you got love dont
Turn it down
Turn it loud
Let it build
We got a long way to go
But you gotta start somewhere
Go door to door spread the love you got
You got the love
You get what you want
Does it matter where you get it from
I for one
Dont turn my cheek for anyone
Unturn your cheek to give your love
Love to grow
I did it
Do you think Ive gone too far
