Answer
Hi Allison,

Lover Lay Down was on the the 2nd studio album realsed by DMB( Under the Table and Dreaming.) However it was the first major release. The first album Remember 2 Things was not a major studio album. DMB doesnt do world tours technically. They tour the US every year and occasionally do small tours in other countries such as Australia or Europe during the winter but again they are only a couple shows and it is very rare they leave the US. Lover Lay Down was never released for radio play or anything so it doesn't have a lot of history. I would say Milestones again their first major release and 94 was also when the band started to expand their tours to places farther away from Virgina. DMB formed in 91 so this song was at the begining of their career and at the very begining of when they made it to the big time. I am sure if you are writing a paper you know what the song is about so I wont go off on a tangent about that. You could also add that it is a crowd favorite at shows. It is not one of the most rares songs they play live but its not one of the most popular so when they do play it the crowd goes a little crazy. I hope that helped you out if you have any more questions about it let me know!
