The_Dreaming_Tree

The Dreaming Tree I think the song "The Dreaming Tree" has many different meanings to it, all of these are intertwined to make one song. I have found this to be characteristic of The Dave Matthews Band. It is a song about change, about the course of life, it's about the world and it's dangers when you are no longer a child with no worries, and about people who lose their sense of imagination as they grow old. There are a lot of things we take for granted in our lives, such as our childhood. In the song he says "Conquered fear to climb, a moment froze in time, when the girl who first he kissed, promised him she'd be his" meaning when you are young, you are more sheltered from the realities of life, and you believe every dream you have will come true. It also keeps referring back to the parents and family, it makes me think that he is saying things were easier and simpler in the past, when you could easily life, tree, about, things, song, old, dreaming, think, people, man, time, take, simpler, says, past, longer, granted, dream, young, worries, world, while, wanted, valuable, truly, true, treasured, treasure, took, times, takes, streets, stood, standing, sit, significance
