       Dave Matthews Band(also known by the initialism DMB) is an American rock band, formed in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1991. The band's founding members were singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, drummer and backing vocalist Carter Beauford, violinist and backing vocalist Boyd Tinsley, and saxophonist LeRoi Moore. As of 2020, Matthews, Lessard, and Beauford are the only remaining founding members still performing with the band.

         Dave Matthews Band's 1994 major label debut album, Under the Table and Dreaming, brought the band worldwide fame and was eventually certified six times platinum. As of 2018, the band had sold more than 25million concert tickets and a combined total of 38million CDs and DVDs. Their 2018 album, Come Tomorrow, debuted at Nº 1 on the Billboard 200, making DMB the first band to have seven consecutive studio albums debut at the peak. The band won the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for "So Much to Say".

           A jam band, Dave Matthews Band is renowned for its live shows. The band is known for playing songs differently each performance; this practice has become a staple of their live shows since the early 1990s.

          "The Space Between" is a song written by the Dave Matthews Band. It was released on their 2001 album, Everyday. It was the album's first hit single and the band's first top 40 hit, with its peak at number 22 in the United States – several of their previous singles had been ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 due to a chart quirk. It is also featured on the Dave Matthews Band compilation álbum The Best of What's Around Vol. 1. It was played for the first time in 1.446 days at LeRoi Moore’s final concert, on June 28, 2008 and has been played live 115 times.

You cannot quit me so quickly

There's no hope in you for me

No corner you could squeeze me

But I got all the time for you love

 

The space between

The tears we cry

Is the laughter that keeps us coming back for more

The space between our wicked lies

Is where we hope to keep safe from the pain

 

But will I hold you again?

These fickle fuddled words confuse me

Like will it rain today?

We waste the hours with talking, talking

These twisted games we're playing

 

We're strange allies

With warring hearts

What a wild eyed beast you be

 

The space between our wicked lies

Is where we hope to keep safe from the pain

 

But will I hold you again?

Will I hold

 

Look at us spinning out in the madness of a roller coaster

You know you went off like the devil in the church

In the middle of a crowded room

All we can do my love

Is hope we don't take this ship down

 

The space between

Where you smile and hide

Is where you'll find me if I get to go

 

The space between

The bullets in our fire fight

Is where I'll be hiding waiting for you

The rain that falls

Splashed in your heart

Ran like sadness down the window into your room

 

The space between our wicked lies is

Where we hope to keep safe from pain

 

Take my hand

'Cause we're walking out of here

Right out of here

Love is all we need, dear

 

The space between

What's wrong and right

Is where you'll find me hiding

Waiting for you

 

The space between

In your heart and mine

Is the space we'll fill with time.
