They\u2019re at The Gorge, an amphitheater in the Pacific Northwest situated right in front of the Columbia River in George, Washington. Among thousands of other people, my mom and my aunt are waiting to get to the barricade. Once the flags go up, my mom runs as fast as she can while my aunt laughs giddily. They end up getting the last bit of rail on the far right side of the stage. My mom has a sign that says \u201cIT\u2019S MY 40TH BIRTHDAY.\u201d This is her forty-fifth Dave Matthews Concert.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">When I remember my childhood, Dave Matthews Band has everything to do with it. In long car rides, in short ones, in school picks ups, in school drop-offs, DMB always welcomed me with his acoustic guitar and saxophone interludes. If you played me any song from Dave Matthews, I most likely wouldn\u2019t be able to give you the title, but I could probably sing it word for word. With multiple versions of their songs, ranging from three minutes to twenty, just two albums of DMB could last up to three hours worth of driving if need be. In the center console of our mini-van, there were stacks of CDs, a vast majority of them being Dave Matthews Band.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Countless numbers of live albums were accounted for in this small space usually used for wipes, DMV information, and loose change. Choosing songs would be a privilege in that car, but it was usually only from the DMB catalog. <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/1D2PZgVDAta16dzx6Ohwqk?si=7qdENUbRTWu2G9tYI3PFpg\">\u201cAlligator Pie\u201d<\/a> was my go-to pick. I think it was because I liked that a dog was barking in the beginning. I always liked how he shouted out his daughter in it because, from my mom\u2019s oral history, it was because \u201cher sister Grace\u2019s name was always written in but Stella\u2019s name was never used.\u201d Only looking back now do I realize that beyond it being a song for his daughter to dance to, it was also a story about a father and daughter trying to be rescued during Hurricane Katrina.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">This was a common theme for me while I was listening to Dave songs almost ten years after my last involuntary listen. Researching other songs, I noticed that my perceptions of each of them were so different than what they actually were. Talking to my mom, I asked her what \u201cAlligator Pie\u201d meant to her, she enthusiastically responded with a detailed breakdown of the history of its production to its lyrics: \u201cit was produced in New Orleans and the dog barking at the beginning of the song was a stray that was kept in the studio. There\u2019s banjo in the song because it adds a cajun a little bit.\u201d This was only the tip of the iceberg when it came to my mom\u2019s knowledge around DMB. Hearing her talk about it reminded me that I already knew this because she had told me countless times before. I realized I had always liked my mom\u2019s commentary on the songs rather than the songs themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">My mom got into Dave Matthews after she got married at the age of twenty-three in 1993. She was a year into her marriage when she heard <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/6yu913P5J0mUmbX4ZDofEv?si=WHC0P3FGRpehKa5DNprFuw\">\u201cWhat Would You Say\u201d<\/a>, the single of their debut album <em>Under the Table and Dreaming <\/em>(1994), on the radio for the first time. She loved the song so much that she went out and bought the CD. What she discovered was that most of the songs off the album were super long and not radio-friendly. \u201cThey had interesting instruments which was a very unique sound,\u201d my mom says over the phone, \u201c[Dave\u2019s] a terrific storyteller and I could really relate to his observations about life and immediately I was hooked to the music.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">When I listen to certain songs, it takes me back to a very specific memory or time in my life. Time capsules for my family, I remember listening to \u201cCornbread\u201d, not the recording at <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/5YLqsohtR48HVfi0wtrED3?si=T-CU2OrzQi-JoByuyiX7Vw\">Piedmont Park<\/a> in 2007, nor the one at <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/6nXdtmxQyPlSysIMakl6xo?si=ZGga44EFQyibiSqLjHKiaw\">Busch Stadium<\/a> in 2008, but the one recorded in<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/3fR0qvNve4KHzVVLKFJUsf?si=MOcylxi3Q-OhU8Y09bdsgQ\"> Radio City Music Hall<\/a> in April of 2007. Without his band, Dave Matthews sang this set with guitarist Tim Reynolds, a man whose work I have heard countless times without ever knowing what he looked like. In our car rides, my brother would always request \u201cCornbread,\u201d I think we both thought it was so silly because, in the beginning, Dave says with a heavy southern accent, <em>\u201cMake you wanna run around naked \/ &#8216;Cause you know it looks good on you.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The song that gives my mom the most distinct meaning is <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/5EjZXJ4nVpw7uI6eso1SFS?si=lzzgpnhOTky9wUcCfQaiYQ\">\u201cWhere Are You Going?\u201d<\/a>, a song off DMB\u2019s fifth studio album, <em>Busted Stuff <\/em>(2002). \u201c[it\u2019s] a really special song to me because he talks about, not in the literal sense, but in your life: where are you going? When that song came out there was a moment in my life like what do I want to do for the rest of my life, I\u2019m a mom, I took off from my career, what do I want from my life?\u201d At the end of the song, Dave tells the listener directly, <em>\u201c<\/em>And a where are you going? \/ Where&#8230;let\u2019s go!\u201d<em> <\/em>For my mom, the end of the song was a rallying call for her: \u201cIt was part of my thinking process when I went back to nursing school, it was the craziest and more impulsive thing I\u2019ve ever done in my life.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">I\u2019ve always understood that Dave Matthews Band was a huge part of my mom\u2019s life, but I never stopped to think about why. I think there are moments when we forget that our parents have interests and dreams and problems. Dave always helped my mom cope with decisions even if my brother and I didn\u2019t even know the decision being made in the first place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">In a safe place in my house, there\u2019s a drum stick that my mom caught that fateful night at her forty-fifth Dave Matthews Concert. Almost ten years later, she still plans on framing it in our house. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\">It\u2019s a bright summer morning in Grant County,
