Question
What do you think is the storyline or meaning of the songs "Grey Street" and "where are you going"?   Would it be possible for me to be able to get a job working for The Dave Matthews Band?

Answer
Hi April,

The Grey Street is about a girl who is trapped in a boring ordinary life. She wishes she could have more excitment but everything seems to blah and not interesting. Grey symbolizes boring. She trys to change her life but no matter what she does she ends up right back where she started. Where are you going is a love song. Its about a man who isnt perfect and he isnt the best but he loves the girl. He just wants to be with her. That is said in the chorus. So basically just a sweet love song about a guy belonging with a girl. As to your question about working for the band I have no idea. I dont know what you would want to do for them or anything like that. I dont even know how you would go about getting a job. I know that most of the roadies and such have worked their way up to touring with a band such as DMB you have to start at the bottom with a local band and work your way up to bigger bands.  It pretty much goes that way for all jobs associate with the larger bands start at the bottom and work your way up. lol I know how you feel tho I want to be the person that vacuums the stage after the opener because the guy that have had the past couple years is way too slow!
