I dont think I've ever fallen for one song out of a band's entire discography when I was kid more than I did 'Funny the Way It Is' by Dave Matthews Band
I have literally been using humming apps for like the past 3 years to find this song. I once heard it in the background while eating at hooters. I’ve been jamming it a ridiculous amount of times
Please explain a humming app. I'm curious I have plenty of songs that I can pinpoint from late 2000s and early 2010s that I know the melody but nothing else. It's maddening.
You're right, I haven't heard any DMB on the radio in ages, for that matter. So many amazing songs too. I haven't heard this on one the radio since it first came out.
This has been my favorite song since I was 9...I'm 19 now. Only NOW am I actually reading the lyrics and truly understanding. Dave Matthews Band is honestly incredibly underrated and needs more hype.
I saw him in concert a few times one summer a few years before this album was released, when I was 20 or so… right around the time you were getting into the band at 9 years old. Huh, funny the way it is.
@@EvilThing3154 Funny indeed. I didn't discover them until 2007 and went to idk how many concerts all over the US in 2008 & 2009, right before this album was released. I was 24ish. Man those were amazing times.
I've never been a huge Dave Matthew Band fan, but I really do like this song. I first heard it when I working at a concert of his two years ago, and this was the one song that jumped out towards me. I feel that it does not portray in any way the "haha" this is really funny, but rather bringing attention to the fact all of the great and terrible things that are going on, all at the same time. This song has great depth, and is probably one of the best songs by Dave Matthews.
So good. Can either be viewed as a tragic song or a happy song. For every good thing something bad happens or for every bad thing happens something better happens. Glass half full/half empt type situation.
Dave I think has a calling. Not so much as a musician, though he is great, but rather as an alarm. He uses his music to remind people of many important things. This song for instance conveys how valuable life is and yet how self centered most of us spend our days. Perhaps it just reminds me to get out of myself from time to time and meet people where they are, and help them there. He makes me think, and I love that.
There are a lot of artists with jobs, rare are those that speak and are heard. Everyone of us are capable of creating 'art' but few portray dreams and ideas that most cant seem to grasp for themselves. This is what separates the called from the crowd.
Randi Poet If you think about modern day music it doesn't seem they are doing there job to inspire people rather make people sad and think about breakups and stuff, I still like modern day music but this beats modern day music any day of the week
I haven't listened to this song in I don't know how long, and it came up on this playlist somehow and I had to stop what I was doing and watch/listen. I don't think people (non-fans) realize how deep his music is. I had chills from the moment he opened his mouth. I used to be OBSESSED with DMB now I am going to binge their music :)
+boob Seen him twice, yes im bragging, and its like seeing a symphony with cool ass lyrics being sung with it..its such a high energy yet relaxing concert. I dont know hot to explain it, oh...everybody there was 420ing
This brings me back to when I was little and my mom had Dave Matthews playing on her iPod, and I remember this being my favorite song then, it's still my favorite song now! P.s. one time I was listening to this song and when it got to a part where a car drives by with the windows rolled down, a car actually drove by with the windows rolled down lol 🤣
It is nuts that after all these years this music still effects me so much. He was never the best singer but man was he deep in his lyrics. Simply Beautiful
Totally hits hard these days,just walk around getting work done while this tune’s playin’ in your heart n seeps out loud here n there.❤️🎺👑🌙🏆🎻🎼🌃💫✨Dude deserves awards for the role in Housey-House too,incredible actor as relp.🎭
I cannot stop playing this song on drums I literally played it over and over for 4 hours last night. DMB is one of the best bands to exist and carter beauford is my favorite drummer and honestly to me the best drummer to ever pick up the sticks.
The thumb nail says everything to me about this artist... He is playing his role in that moment. This song really hits me..I feel his pain and confusion of what the hell is this place... What is this realm... That's why you open your mind there is no going back. Dave is 👍😃 We need more Dave's.! God send us more of Dave 🥺 please
Lying in the park on a beautiful day Sunshine in the grass, and the children play Siren's passing, fire engine red Someone's house is burning down on a day like this The evening comes and we're hanging out On the front step and a car rolls by with the windows rolled down And that war song is playing, why can't we be friends? Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs Funny the way it is, if you think about it Somebody's going hungry and someone else is eating out Funny the way it is, not right or wrong Somebody's heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor You hear the laughter while the children play war Funny the way it is, if you think about it One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out Funny the way it is, not right or wrong On a soldier's last breath his baby's being born Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me It must've been much harder when there was no bridge just water Now the world is small, remember how it used to be With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars Watch the sky, the jet planes, so far out of my reach Is there someone up there looking down on me? Boy chase a bird, so close but every time He'll never catch her, but he can't stop trying Funny the way it is, if you think about it One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out Funny the way it is, not right or wrong On a soldier's last breath his baby's being born Funny the way it is, not right or wrong Somebody's broken heart becomes your favorite song Funny the way it is, if you think about it A kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me It must've been much harder when there was no bridge just water Now the world is small, remember how it used to be With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
what a true blue man think about it !!! makes me want to jump in a nice sweet lake and swim under looking for my true blue ..... hey blue blue what happened man more music yeahhhhh oh my my need more coffee
You wanna know a real & true Irony: I met Dave Matthews on the street when I was growing up (high school). I was a metal head, & didn't really like his genre of music, but on a dare a classmate said to walk up to him and say hi. That's all I did. (Circa 1993-1994). This was on University Ave in... Charlottesville, Virginia. The same city where so much divisive fighting has been occuring for centuries, a metal head and a pop/ alternative musician briefly met and then went our separate ways.
this is literally the 100th time I've listened to this song, BEST SONG IN THE WORLD!!! (I also really want to meet Dave and the band in person, and ask what the story is behind this song)
It's the juxtaposition of paradoxes, 'neither right or wrong'. The sort of song one sings after having experienced the world for a few years. Actually reminds me of that song -"It's a beautiful ride" from "Walk Hard, the Dewey Cox story."
We were lying in a park on a beautiful day, sunshine in the grass, and the children play Sirens passing fire, engine, red someone’s buildings burning down on a day like this
ok, so if you are going through some kind of pain, doesn't matter how large or how small, it is nothing to be afraid of. It is a message, for me personally my pain was from friends it was to show me how to start living a better life. I was clearly in a bad place but what you can do is put your faith in art, and god (peaceful) the most diffucult part is TRUST once you trust you will see your pain disappear with ease. :)
I agree with most of what you said. When they put him in the orange jacket with the bag on his head, that is his rehabilitation. Afterwards, when he takes it off, the singing part is his "reunion tour" type thing, where he comes back from a long absence from his fans. For the most part though, I'd say you got it right.
This video is another example of genius.. Very intelligently done with accordance to the lyrics.. but as most intelligent things not understood and dismissed as being crazy.
This song will always remind me of my short time in Manchester, heard it in the big Sainsbury's just off regent road in 2016 and listened to it none stop when I first heard it
Funny the way it is... If you think about it..... That a band that tours something like 13 months a year, every year could find the time to write an entire album this amazing, this intoxicating.

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS MAN????
Truth
Kind of dark isolating lights das est gut ya ?
very true

three years??????
@@LastPuppy better question is, eating at hooters????

Ashamed to say that after all these years, I never paid close attention to the lyrics until today. Really thoughtful and completely true.
It's always really fuckin weird finding your own comment from years ago when you're not expecting it. Wtf
kinestasis bro same
Always loved the lyrics to this song. People could learn from it, all about appreciation. Most people are lacking.
@@sharonfieldstone here to remind you again
@@BeautifulGreen252 A very generous reminder, thank you
From a soldier's last breath, to his baby's being born. Damn, this line always gets me.
it really paints a picture in your mind
Radio stations will put on the same 10 sh***y pop songs on repeat all day but you'll never hear this gem played once... Funny the way it is!
You're right, I haven't heard any DMB on the radio in ages, for that matter. So many amazing songs too. I haven't heard this on one the radio since it first came out.
I still forget the name of this song every now and then but I'll suddenly remember about it randomly, such a great song.
I found it. Sweet god, I found it.
Normal Person feels good yea?
I was searching for this song too.
Lmao same
Three years I spent searching for this song. Reddit finds it for me in 2 hours.
I don’t even know the lyrics but somehow this music video was stuck in my head for two months. I finally found it tonight.
How in the world is this song not have 100M views? 🤦🏿♂️
dave matthews should run for president
Can't watch this video and listen to the sincerity of this song at the same time!
Man this hits so hard in todays age 🤘🏽🔥🔥🔥
This is poetry... my skin shivers and my eyes come to tears everytime I listen to this beautiful song
This has been my favorite song since I was 9...I'm 19 now. Only NOW am I actually reading the lyrics and truly understanding. Dave Matthews Band is honestly incredibly underrated and needs more hype.
No hes good... his music is legendary... glad you found him. Music is powerful!
I saw him in concert a few times one summer a few years before this album was released, when I was 20 or so… right around the time you were getting into the band at 9 years old. Huh, funny the way it is.
what? He's one of the most famous musicians in the world. Far from underrated.
This song is going to be played at my funeral
@@EvilThing3154 Funny indeed. I didn't discover them until 2007 and went to idk how many concerts all over the US in 2008 & 2009, right before this album was released. I was 24ish. Man those were amazing times.
Listening to this during the quarantine. All the way from Bavaria.
Saaaame. The space between hits different in social distancing
Yessss right in the feels the space between
Hello from Montana😊
The World is small. Im rembering how it use to be.
Hello everyone I'm from Texas and I love this music
"Funny the way it is if you think about it, somebody's going hungry, someone else is eating out." - Goosebumps 🔥. Oh Dave, You beauty! ❤️
This song is so profound.

ONE OF THE BEST DAVE MATTHEWS SONGS EVER, IT IS COMPLETELY TURE!
Dave I think has a calling. Not so much as a musician, though he is great, but rather as an alarm. He uses his music to remind people of many important things. This song for instance conveys how valuable life is and yet how self centered most of us spend our days. Perhaps it just reminds me to get out of myself from time to time and meet people where they are, and help them there. He makes me think, and I love that.
All worthwhile art challenges us. This isn't a new thing or a "calling". It's his job as an artist.
There are a lot of artists with jobs, rare are those that speak and are heard. Everyone of us are capable of creating 'art' but few portray dreams and ideas that most cant seem to grasp for themselves. This is what separates the called from the crowd.
Randi Poet If you think about modern day music it doesn't seem they are doing there job to inspire people rather make people sad and think about breakups and stuff, I still like modern day music but this beats modern day music any day of the week
Maddison Sharp
I totally agree.
nate johnson he's a great musician. One of the best ever
The most underrated song and band of all time.. I've loved DMB since highschool and I graduated in 09
I just wanted to thank. Dave Matthews ban for saving my life on some of my roughest days
Dave Matthews is a man of many talents! A true rare genuine soul and an amazing person. Him + his band mates = Absolutely Phenomenal!!!! R.I.P. Leroy!
I find it sad that this is song has been out almost a decade. I feel old and I’m nowhere near old
I haven't listened to this song in I don't know how long, and it came up on this playlist somehow and I had to stop what I was doing and watch/listen. I don't think people (non-fans) realize how deep his music is. I had chills from the moment he opened his mouth. I used to be OBSESSED with DMB now I am going to binge their music :)
Hands down dave matthews is the song bird of my generation. would give anything to see him in concert.
+boob You can probably give $40 to $50 at some point and see him quite easily.
+boob Seen him twice, yes im bragging, and its like seeing a symphony with cool ass lyrics being sung with it..its such a high energy yet relaxing concert. I dont know hot to explain it, oh...everybody there was 420ing
seen him 7 times, the most amazing live show you can see! I've seen a lot of bands, DMB is by far the best live!
Was at Central Park and used to go every year to SPAC, I highly recommend it. Even though the horn section sounds terrible without LeRoi now
he is gonna be doing a concert in his hometown soon!
Oh, Dave, you magnificent, weirdo. I love you.
So true!!!
I've never heard this! It's bleeping fantastic!
I can't believe this song isn't more popular. It is one of m favorites after one listen.
Its my favorite to this day!
Meu Deus, não tem como não gostar desses caras
Dave thank you, you're with me for so many years. Greetings from Poland
This brings me back to when I was little and my mom had Dave Matthews playing on her iPod, and I remember this being my favorite song then, it's still my favorite song now!
P.s. one time I was listening to this song and when it got to a part where a car drives by with the windows rolled down, a car actually drove by with the windows rolled down lol 🤣
That looked like a single shot video. Amazing
It is nuts that after all these years this music still effects me so much. He was never the best singer but man was he deep in his lyrics. Simply Beautiful
Whatever is going on here, I love it and I feel it
looked like Dave was on acid
Truestory Yes you are
Shel Smith Can't feel it if you don't know what it is
Totally hits hard these days,just walk around getting work done while this tune’s playin’ in your heart n seeps out loud here n there.❤️🎺👑🌙🏆🎻🎼🌃💫✨Dude deserves awards for the role in Housey-House too,incredible actor as relp.🎭
I remember watching this on Jumpstart on MTV when I was on summer break from school. Good times... 😊
Dave Matthews knows whats up.......Unity Consciousness flows through his words..wisdom..love!!!! THANK YOU!
Merry Christmas 🎄 2021 we still have music 🎶. Chin up every one.
This music video makes him look 10 times crazier.
Dave Mathew’s Band , is so good … hit, after hit..
I cannot stop playing this song on drums I literally played it over and over for 4 hours last night. DMB is one of the best bands to exist and carter beauford is my favorite drummer and honestly to me the best drummer to ever pick up the sticks.
Yup, the irony of the everyday. Do what we can for those in pain.
One of the most prolific songwriters of his time.
The music video for this is really good.
this is another reason i love dave. this shows he has a great sense of humor
His smile just melts me!
I remember seeing this on VH1 late at night and I've been a fan ever since
The thumb nail says everything to me about this artist... He is playing his role in that moment. This song really hits me..I feel his pain and confusion of what the hell is this place... What is this realm... That's why you open your mind there is no going back. Dave is 👍😃
We need more Dave's.!
God send us more of Dave 🥺 please
Don't bash what you hate, support what you love
Predicted the future. ❤️
I know the lyrics are profoundly true, but the video for this song always knocks me out
Dave looks like Hunter S. Thompson in the opening. He could totally pull it off in a movie. They are both on a another level.
YES! He looks just like him and they are both nuts I love it
This song lives forever and should.
Gets me in a happy mood. Heard it at work while taking a piss and started dancing, was hyped rest of my shift 😆
Noah Sanderson love that feeling
This man's lyrics are amazing!
Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass, and the children play
Siren's passing, fire engine red
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this
The evening comes and we're hanging out
On the front step and a car rolls by with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing, why can't we be friends?
Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
Somebody's going hungry and someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody's heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song
The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish
A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor
You hear the laughter while the children play war
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier's last breath his baby's being born
Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
It must've been much harder when there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small, remember how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
Watch the sky, the jet planes, so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me?
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time
He'll never catch her, but he can't stop trying
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier's last breath his baby's being born
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody's broken heart becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
A kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
It must've been much harder when there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small, remember how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
Thank you for taking the time to write out the lyrics..much appreciated.
4:02, angry Dave scares and thrills me all at the same time
love it...love all of it..thank you jean for showing me dave all those years ago
what a true blue man think about it !!! makes me want to jump in a nice sweet lake and swim under looking for my true blue ..... hey blue blue what happened man more music yeahhhhh oh my my need more coffee

This is the only song I like from my dad, and dear god it is amazing.
Thanks

It's the juxtaposition of paradoxes, 'neither right or wrong'. The sort of song one sings after having experienced the world for a few years.
Actually reminds me of that song -"It's a beautiful ride" from "Walk Hard, the Dewey Cox story."
You listen to his music and just say WOW.
We were lying in a park on a beautiful day, sunshine in the grass, and the children play Sirens passing fire, engine, red someone’s buildings burning down on a day like this
I've finally found the name of this song!!!
this video reminds me of why I love Dave Matthews
People seriously rag on this dude but this song is just.... perfect

Heck yeah
Oh wait that was six years ago
@@guardening I wonder if he still likes Dave?
funny the way it is you are 23 now
Absolutely one of my favorite songs by him... amazing video, and words are deep with a lot of meaning behind them
I love Kookie Dave! Always have since RTT!! ❤
Such a whimsical and happy video. Dave is always an amazing show to see.
The orange jumpsuit with the square bag over the head is iconic abu ghraib
Damnit, Dave. You are my god. The one and only.
"Some starving while others eating out. Funny the way it is, not right or wrong. " Pondering this while enjoying the music.
Never heard this song until at a DMB concert in VA Beach. I love this song.
A wave of tears in my eyes. 💗
Poweful truth lies within this song...
Dave makes my day 100% better
My Favorite Patriotic song ever besides the Star Spangled Banner!
Absolutely enjoy Boyd's violin parts in this song
You have to be a certain kind of person to like this song..... and I am that person
I agree with most of what you said. When they put him in the orange jacket with the bag on his head, that is his rehabilitation. Afterwards, when he takes it off, the singing part is his "reunion tour" type thing, where he comes back from a long absence from his fans. For the most part though, I'd say you got it right.
what a wonderful song, what wonderful musical arrangements

Mr brother would jam this when he’d take me to middle school in the mornings lol. Fond memory. Bout 2007ish.
Funny the way it is... If you think about it..... That a band that tours something like 13 months a year, every year could find the time to write an entire album this amazing, this intoxicating.
Love it when Dave is TOTALY in to the song an starts dancing!!!
Truer and truer every passing month
LOVE this song!!
Got that nostalgia smells in the air
Oh man tell me about it :/
It’s taken me about 10 years but tap tap revenge brought me here.
i play this song twice. once with the sound on and the second without the sound on. I love everything about this video X)
Angel from universal truth. Matthews band
I've been to 2 of his concerts and this is my favorite song also the first song I heard by DMB
This song makes me feel better and stronger than yesterday, Resistance Colombia in our hardest times!!!
