Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "So why when I approach you my tears they fall like rain"

Answer: "Granny"

 The name "Granny" was chosen for this song before the lyrics were written. This song is on a few albums; the ones I know are "Listener Supported" (which is my favorite version, by the way) and "Live at Luther College".
2. "Shake up your bones, shake up your feet"

Answer: "Pig"

 This song is from "Before These Crowded Streets"; the whole band helped to write it.
3. "Take your hands from your eyes, my love everything must end some time, don't burn the day away"

Answer: "Pig"

 I personally have never heard them perform this song live, but that doesn't mean that they don't. This also happens to be my favorite Dave Matthews Band song quote.
4. "There you are nailing a good tree, then you say forgive me, forgive me"

Answer: "The Last Stop"

 In case you didn't know (because I didn't until recently), in the beginning of this song Dave says, "Silence is Poetry". This song is also from the album "Before These Crowded Streets".
5. "Would you like to play with the thought of a friend"

Answer: "The Song That Jane Likes"

 Jane is Dave's sister. This song is on "Remember Two Things".
6. "I've been praying for some way to show them I'm not what they see"

Answer: "The Stone"

 John D'earth did the orchestral arrangements on this song on the album "Before These Crowded Streets".
7. "From that fools mistake and now forever pay"

Answer: "The Stone"
8. "That's our blood down there, seems poured from the hands of angels"

Answer: "Warehouse"

 The "Warehouse" was a place that Dave Matthews loved and spent a lot of time at when he was younger in Charlottesville, Virginia. The song can be found on "Under the Table and Dreaming", as well as a few live albums.
9. "Less than reputable was known to be"

Answer: "Christmas Song"

 This song is on "Remember Two Things". The quote is about Mary Magdalin, who was a prostitute who changed her ways and followed Jesus.
10. "You quench my heart and you quench my mind"

Answer: "Two Step"

 This song is from the album "Crash", but can be found on many live albums such as "Listener Supported", "Live at Luther College", "Live at Red Rocks 8-15-95", and I'm sure I'm missing a few.
