Finally Dave, about time, thank you

[TheLastStop123]

Holy shit yes, what a track. What a chorus!

[artiej1120]

Goosebumps

[jaymas9]

Holy shit

[DMBCardinal]

Yeah, I like it.

[Dannyyankou]

I like it, but it sounds incomplete if that makes sense. Like something's missing.

[Firedancer627]

Well. Hot damn. This is a great f’n tune.

[TheLastPig]

On the way home from the show now, really liked it

[Titotimmy]

The dark middle eastern-y stuff this band does is so goddamn good and bangs every time. Really didn't think they had anything like this left in them. Pretty excited about it.

6/8 groove with the time changes and the heavy bass are really awesome. Love the chorus and what Buddy is doing.

Agree, I think it's good now but has potential to be a real monster with proper road work.

[#MDMBGA]

Nice. Hope Dave’s got some more surprises like this up his sleeve.

A ripping Jeff solo at the end. Jam it out for a little bit.

[RSSR]

If cutting the Middle Eastern breakdown from Can’t Stop allowed for this song to happen, I’d absolutely take it!

[MillionMiAway]

My buddy and I thought it was an intro to last stop or minarets - no complaints though, that was such a good surprise monster. Haven't seen Dave so fired up in a new song in quite some time.

[tobiasK]

I saw Jeff was using the soprano sax and the way he was playing the guess is obviously Minarets or Last Stop and when they started the song, I thought...I have never heard this song before and my DMB CD collection is very thorough, even my trading collection I never heard it. A lot of energy and vigor for that song. A home run debut.

[lieinmygrave41]

very happy with this track. would love to hear the end jammed out a bit more

[Speilmen230]

Needs a jam at the end, but Carter & Jeff absolutely ripped. This is easily the best of the new songs.

[GoingToCA91]

Like others I thought this was a new Minarets intro when they started playing. LOVED it live in person, and then loved it on first listen from the Sirius stream

[yanks7533]

wowsa, best first listen i can remember in a long time. pumped, love the middle eastern proggyness

[dmbetc]

Okay DMB, I see you.

[jasonfilatov]

Yes! Best first impression I’ve had since… Broken Things.

Awesome to see Dave is still capable of writing a tune like this.

[Timebomb07]

Need another listen or two. I’m no good at judging on a whim (username)p

[maythekarma1]

They absolutely nailed this performance as well. Only listened once so far but couldn't hear a bum note, a missed queue, or a dropped lyric. Dave's voice was killer as well. Was almost like a studio take if it weren't for the crowd and taper source.

So pumped for the new album!

This is definitely one of the better new songs I’ve heard from the band in a while. I feel like this song really could use a bridge or or outro though

[drop2d]

Nice! Sounds kinda prog-y. My favorite kind of DMB.

Lyrics the best I can get:

Little Billy's got a (gun?)
And really don't (???)
Shooting bottles on the wall
Dreams the hero
Hope (and more?)

Is this real or is this make believe
You think we'd know how everything's supposed to be.
Like a train blowin full speed ahead.
Cant hear what your sayin
when everybody's screaming.

I'm afraid, can't lie.
Mama said baby don't you cry
In the dark
Be the light
Dont let go Baby hold on tight
To believe
is blind
We'll sacrifice another child.
Its not,
black and white
Its you looking though a mad man's eyes.

Oh, The truth might not be crystal clear, but if night is right,
there's no room for loving here.

Oh, Pray to God and hope he's listening. That a man (will not?)
Bring the demons in.

Will he ask if our hands are tied.
Is it really hard, to do what we know is right.
To protect the things that we hold dear.
Must make you think that we should never come here.

I'm afraid, can't lie.
Mama said baby don't you cry
In the dark
Be the light
Dont let go Baby hold on tight
To belive
is blind
We'll sacrifice another child.
Its not,
black and white
Its you looking though a mad man's eyes.

Run and hide
Dont ask why
Nobody needs to see the look in his eyes.
When its to late to untwist the knife.
How do we face hatred with love inside us.

I'm afraid, can't lie.
Mama said baby don't you cry
In the dark
Be the light
Dont let go Baby hold on tight
To belive
Is blind
We'll sacrifice another child.
Its not,
black and white
Its you looking though a mad man's eyes.

Hahahahaha!!! Phenomenal post. So well played!

I'm waiting until the studio album drops to listen to these new songs, but reading all these comments has me fired up!! Really looking forward to hearing this one!

[Ryno DMB]

Believe it's "Little Billy's got a gun" from what I can tell.

Play this regularly and bring Bismarck back and you've got a pair of winners in the rotation for "new songs"
