About Anne Dalmadge
Expertise
I can Answer any questions about lyrics, songs, albums, or pretty much any questions about the band, but my strong subject is lyrics and songs.

Experience
I have been an avid Dave listener for four years, my brother got me into his music, we went to his last concert here together, I have all of his albums including Boyd's True Reflections, and can name almost all of his songs when i hear only about ten seconds or less of them.

Dave Matthews Band - Song meaning


Expert: Anne Dalmadge - 6/21/2004

Question
Now I know that Dave Matthews is known for his deeper meanings in his songs. And I have heard rumors about the meaning of the song "Warehouse." I was wondering if you could tell me the truth of what the song "Warehouse" is about.

Answer
My opinion of the song is: I think it's about memories, and a place, the warehouse, is where the memories are kept, and you can always go back to the warehouse to revisit these memories. He talks about change, "The black cat's changing colors, but its not the colors that matter, but that they all fade away." He talks about going with the changes that come his way, "Keep all your sights on
The black cat changing colors
I can walk under ladders
And swim as the tides choose to turn me" How he can't stop them, because, "Life goes on." And then we see him talk about going to the warehouse with these memories, "My love I love to stay here
In the warehouse"
This is just my opinion
