Dave commented that he hadn't even played it for Tim yet, so it's super new.

Well, safe to say it’s not on the new album. Unless Dave lied.

Something to Tell My Baby

2/20/2022 alternate lyrics

You know
someday we all will leave here
maybe sooner than I wanted it
it's special because it's fleeting
in all of the things that we do
what do we leave behind us
something to remind them
something make them smile
when they think about it
something to tell my baby
something she can reach for
we all need to hold on to

Trying to believe it
stuff that dreams are made of
the cut that just won't heal
the smoke after the fire
as long as we remember
it's as good as real
as good as real
something to keep us hopeful
something to tell my baby

Forever I clear live
possible, oh just maybe
whenever we think about it
something to remind them
something make them smile
maybe make it easier
something to tell my baby

This could alone push the album past Q2 if that were true.

Can you imagine paying all that money to go to Mexico, get a song debut and still be yapping the whole song. Or perhaps worse than that, be next to those people.

[Tomacco]

Let’s hope he never plays it again and it’s not on the new album.

[but1well]

Dreaming Tree video is atrocious with the drunk people roaring talking all show.

Mexico seems like a good place to see a bunch of rare songs but overall a miserable experience if you are there to enjoy the actual show. Dave and Tim here isn't that much different though, the 2017 amphitheater tour was the same type of crowd but this may be even worse.

[YankeesDMB41]

Me and KG wrote this song 5 minutes ago....it's called Master Exploder.

This song reminded me of Baby on Some Devil.

[Alpine416]

I get he might tease a song like this very early in writing it and that can be a cool thing to do but that doesn't even seem like the case here. Just a D- effort in songwriting.

No, I don't think so. It's a nice little song, IMO. But definitely unfinished.

[DMBCardinal]

We don't need a song like this on an album. It just seems like a wasted spot. There are way too many Dave solo songs on recent albums, and almost all of them are skips for me.

Main reason I haven’t gone. I’ve vacationed in Mexico and the American tourists I’ve seen there are like 99% drunk bros and woo girls. Adding in the illustrious DMB FaMiLy to that crowd? Yeah that’s a big no from me dawg

Same.

Although, I get it. Most of the US are freezing their balls and tits off right now. Plop them in Cancun with 90 degree days, booze, and a beach and it’s a recipe for getting hammered. Haha

I personally can’t afford a trip like that at the moment. And even if I could, I would not simply base a trip around concerts. If I was rich? Sure.

This plus the wind for me. Not a fan of standing out in the wind for three hours, three nights in a row.

[paulg83]

This is a beautiful little tune. I don't think we can expect it on the album, given that Dave said Tim hadn't even heard it.

[MR_ESTEVEZ]

I smell Dave solo album vibes in this

[Cross the ice]

It’s somewhat interesting that the man who wrote this probably unfinished verse:

“take a walk
cross the ice
melts too quickly
for us to reach the other side
it's cold in here
but the sun shines bright out
it warms this up here
oh the tide is rising higher
look it's strange floating by
looks just like arms that
flow out and ride now i will
golden age
these golden times
our golden days seem to have us
hypnotized or blind, well...“

And evidently didn’t think it was good to release or play live sang Something To Tell My Baby. Our golden days are certainly behind us, friends.

I would easily go back in time and trade this new dave song to replace "come tomorrow" off the CT album.

[Typical_Ant]

This is real bad. Tell your baby that.

Dave: "It's something to tell my baby"
Drunk lady: "Aaaww jeeez, that's sweet. What kind of baby?"

I would hope human, Debbie!

All I know is Chad nailed it with his post a few days back about there always being a 'change the world song' on the album. This could be it. Although I really hope it's not.

Don't delay the album for this to be put on it. Save it for a Dave solo record. Only one of the new songs I actively dislike.

I'd rather go skiing out west for 1/4 of the price and check out individual song performances on YouTube

The Dave-a-Tron 2006 is a machine invented by Professor Capshaw to create the lyrics of all new Dave Matthews songs.

Its functionality is severely limited, much to fans anger, as they complain on Antsmarching.org after absurd songs like Come Tomorrow, Plastic Girl and Be Yourself are written calling it a "worthless hunk of junk".

Written in jest. The man is still a badass. Not all songs are winners. Maybe he just needs a producer/band mate/close friend willing to tell him that.

Dave had that, his name was LeRoi.
