I was sketchy on it, but then I saw him perform it live, and I'm pretty much sold on the song.

    The chorus is too common, I cringe when I hear it sometimes. I think the verses are beautiful, but the chorus is just weak

    You & Me does not realy sound like a DMB song to me for some reason.

    I agree that the song is not that great, but I wouldn't consider it AWFUL!! Dave said it was just a little pick me up song to follow Baby Blue. I think it does the job. It's a good song to sing along to, especially at a concert. It was played in the encore in STL, and guys and girls were singing along.

    One problem I have with it is something that was discussed in another thread, which I believe concluded that the strings on the song are synthesized. They don't sound real at all. My simple question is, why the fuck does Boyd not play those parts? Like, I can imagine Boyd sitting there, cringing, about to kill someone, and Cavollo or someone else is playing some string shit on a keyboard.

    I'll just simply say I really don't like this song. I did see the debut though.

    I don't remember if I posted in this thread or not.

    You & Me is a very good song in my opinion. The guitar part is very relaxed and chill, which helps to set the tone of the song. The lyrics are very good as well, with some great imagery mixed into the lines.

    Songs that Dave writes about his wife suck. Songs Dave writes about fucking other women rock.

    my girlfriend likes it, so i enjoy listening to it knowing she enjoys it. its a nice little guitar riff throughout, nice outro, followed by an even nicer #35.

    this song is atrocious. bad lyrics by dave, and the guitar riff is a typical modern-day singer-songwriter riff. which is something that dave can do so much better than.

    If BWGK was a body, "You and Me" would be the arse crack. With that said, I still love the album...not the best closer by far though. As one ant said before, "It sounds like it would be on a Disney movie."

    What's so bad about it? It's a metaphor for teaching their kids that anything is possible...

    I was so happy the other day...my son who is almost six years old was walking around the house singing."you and me together..can do anything baby!" over an over again. It makes a father proud when his son starts singing DMB songs on his own free will.

    Terrible song. The first part of the chorus gets stuck in my head once in a while, but if I try to listen to the song, I stop after about 30 seconds when I remember how awful it is.

    Re: 'You and me'.....AWFUL!!!

    My husband and I listened to the album the day after we moved from Buffalo, NY to Tampa, FL. Right before this song started playing, I looked at my husband and said, you and me together, baby, we can do anything. Then You & Me started & didn't pay much attention to the lyrics, just noticed that it was a much more uplifting sounding track than most of the rest of the album (which is great, though it is very dark & deep). Then it went into the chorus & we couldn't believe our ears. Naturally we pulled up the lyrics & the verses were very symbolic of our move & new adventure, which makes it meaningful for us. The chorus is a bit corny, but sometimes I'm corny, especially when it comes to being in love. It always puts a smile on my face when I hear it & with Roi's little jam @ the end makes it a nice little tribute. I hope they play it tomorrow.

    "You and Me" takes a lot of flack, me thinks, because it's a "simple" song by DMB standards. But this doesn't diminish it's quality in my eyes. It's a fun, "pretty" song that is easily enjoyed, especially at concerts. It's also a great song to listen to with a special someone, my wife and I rarely sing songs together but can get in on this one.

    Awful? No. Among the band's worst? Certainly not. Maybe you'll eventually "get it." But if not enjoy the rest of the album.

    Nah, DMB has lots of great "simple" songs.. Christmas Song, PFWYG, Proudest, etc. It's the "you and me together we can do anything, baby, yea yea" and "when the kids get old enough, we gonna teach them to flyyyyyyyy" stuff

    LOL I get your point well enough, but I still think it's a nice song and fun to sing with my wife, and from the performances I've seen on Youtube, sounds excellent in concert.
