Music Appreciation
I have a summer playlist I created on a music streaming service that I titled "Dave Matthews Band Radio," and as you may guess the playlist is mostly Dave Matthews. It's a great listen, especially while outdoor grilling.
There are many songs I enjoy listening to but this particular one provides a carefree summer vibe, celebrating living in the moment. Dave Matthews Band's song "Stay (Wasting Time)" was released on June 28, 1998 as a single from their third studio album Before These Crowded Streets. The song features The Lovely Ladies (Tawatha Agee, Cindy Myzell, and Brenda White King) on background vocals.
The song showcases the band's signature fusion of rock, jazz, and folk influences, with an upbeat tempo, and infectious guitar riffs. The lyrics is about enjoying life and embrace the simple pleasures of life.
Directed by Dean Karr, the music video captures the essence of the song. The video intersperses scenes of people, mostly Blacks, enjoying various activities exemplifying the carefree spirit of the song during summertime.
