Dave Matthews - Crush

Nascido em Johanesburgo, África do Sul, Dave Matthews já vendeu mais de 20 milhões de cópias nos EUA com a sua Dave Matthews Band, conhecida como DMB. Foi trabalhando como bartender no Miller's, um dos principais pontos de encontro e apresentações do cenário musical de Charlottesville, Virginia, que Dave conheceu, em 1990, os futuros integrantes da banda.

Escrever uma letra sobre amor e relacionamento não é uma tarefa fácil, principalmente em língua inglesa, onde muito já se escreveu sobre este tema e todas as possibilidades já foram pensadas, fazendo com que o risco de parecer repetitivo seja grande. Dave Matthews conseguiu escapar do lugar comum com a música abaixo, um verdadeiro hino à paixão. A versão acústica ficou perfeita com a ajuda de Tim Reynolds, ressaltando a beleza da canção. A apresentação do vídeo é no Radio City Music Hall em 22/04/2007.

Crush

Crazy, how it feels tonight.
Crazy, how you make it all alright love.
You crush me, with the things you do,
I do, for you, anything too oh.
Sitting, smoking, feeling high.
And in this moment, ah, it feels so right.

Lovely lady, I am at your feet, oh, God I want you so badly.
And I wonder this could tomorrow be so wondrous as you there sleeping.

Lets go, drive til the morning comes.
And watch the sunrise, and fill our souls up.
Well drink some wine til we get drunk, yes...

Its crazy, Im thinking, just knowing that the world is round.
Im here Im dancing on the ground.
Am I right side up or upside down, and is this real, or am I dreaming?

Lovely lady, let me drink you, please, I wont spill a, drop no, I promise you.
Lying under this spell you cast on me.
Each moment the more I love you. crush me, come on. oh, yes.
