A good song.

Matt Mihalak

Awesome song. It was absolutely awesome at the 9/7 show in Atlanta.

listening to it now to get the full effect...I like this song, its not as good as Say Goodbye but it still is pretty good. Not one of my faves...Let me just say that I love Dave and I should be at the Kalamazoo show tonight!

P! ???

What a great song! Carter really shines during this song, as does Roi on flute. Boyd, as usual brings a lot to the song.

I THINK THAT ALONG WITH ALL OF THEIR OTHER SONGS, THE LYRICS TO THIS SONG ARE BEAUTIFUL AND COULD STAND ON THEIR OWN AS POETRY. I DO THINK THAT DAVE, IN A WAY, IS REACHING OUT IN THIS SONG. HE WANTS THINGS TO BE THE WAY THAT THEY USED TO BE. HE WANTED SUCCESS, BUT NOT IF IT ENTAILED THE GROBBLING OVER MONEY AND ALL OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT PEOPLE FIGHT ABOUT IN THE MUSIC WORLD. FOR HIM IT WAS JUST ABOUT THE MUSIC, AND HE WANTS PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT (I'M GUESSING!!!). I FEEL SO SORRY FOR HIM WHEN HE PLAYS THIS SONG AT SHOWS, AND PEOPLE ARE SINGING THE LYRICS WITH HIM, BUT THEY'RE NOT HEARING WHAT THEY'RE SINGING. THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE TO SAY, EXCEPT THAT IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES!

If I had only one song to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be #41.

It's a great song but Lie in our Graves is by far the best song made by Dave.

"Come and see I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles" Overall I love all of their songs,but #41 is one of the greatest. Also,even though I am very young,I still believe is a wonderful dreamer,who is beautiful at heart and physically,his songs are so meaningful to those who understand them,like myself. I'm very happy that this weeks song is #41,because it explains how I feel about someone right now. And I question them"Do they wish a dance?" Peace,Love,and Happiness to all!

I am sooooooooo Glad #41 made it to number 1....I would say it is in the running for a spot in the all time top 10 dmb songs!!!! "Remember when, I used to play for all of the lonliness that nobody notices now?" this line has sooooo much meaning and relates to me in sooooo many ways, as do many other dmb lyrics but this one shines above the rest!!!!Anyone who voted this song in pat yourselves on the back, roll up a fatty, put #41 on repeat, and smoke that thing till it's gone, and sit back relax and jam for a while!!!!!!! I think I'll go take my own advice!!!!! l8TR

#41 is a cool, relaxing song, and it serves an awesome segway to SAY GOODBYE. It's also great live. However, it doen't hold a candle to Pay For What You Get, which many people consider its counterpart.

Mike Kossoff

It is one hell of a good song.....brian likes it to!!@!@

A very good song. Not too fast, not too slow. I like the little chirping sound. If you really listen, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Hmmmmm...just looked over the lyrics to this one...reminds me of myself trying to forget my less than finer moments in life..."playing time against my troubles"..."the play on time is won, but the difficulty is coming here"..."i will go in this way and find my own way out"..."all at once the ghosts come back"..."all the loneliness that nobady notices now"..."i wanted to stay, i wanted to play, i wanted to love you"..."i'm only this far, and only tomorrow leads the way"..... Musically speaking - Roi's sax sounds so sweet the intense communication between Carter and David comes thru very nicely on this - listen to how the percussive guitar and drums fit together... My roommate gives this song "2 thumbs up", whatever that's worth.....

This is a good song as most will agree. But all of the DMB's songs are good. I like this song, don't get me wrong, but this song doesn't really DO IT for me like other songs by Dave. "Ants Marching", now that's a song if I've ever heard one. "#41" is a good song and I wouldn't change it if it came on but it doesn't get heart pumping like some other DMB songs. The real bad-ass thing about "#41" is how it leads into "Say Goodbye". That part is fucking bad-ass!!!

Jenny Patrny

Awesome song..probably one of my favorites...gives me goosebumps when I hear it....wow!

Stephanie

Beginning puts you into a dramy twilight state, so that it feels as if he is right in front of you singing. The music works itself up into a climax bursting with fruit flavor.

*Tiara*

I had more to say. I agree with Mike. Also, the flute is my instrument (I've been playing for 6 years.) When I learn to play this I'll be the happiest girl in the world! Don't the lyrics speak for everyone? Yes, if I could listen to just one song for all of eternity. it would be #41

Jennifer

#41 is so powerful, I am glad there is no title to it. None could give it justice. It so sad you just want to go tell Dave everything will be fine. So often, Dave's songs are sung and adored and unless you really listen to the lyrics, you would have no idea how really wonderful it is. The line about "..I'm coming slow but speeding" is one of the best sung lines in the song. But the song is laced with wonderful lines, each one touching your heart. I agree with everyone on the comment board. Musically, you could listen to this song a hundred times in a row and hear something different each time. Everything is perfect even the sadness. This song is so me, sad isn't it?

*Tiara*

This is probably my favorite DMB song. It's so sensuous and beautiful. I listen to a live version and the Crash version no less than ten times a day. "Why won't you ever be glad, it melts into wonder.." Yeah, I heard them on MRL too. I also read the Rolling Stone Stone interview. Even though this song may not be about wanting and longing to Dave, it is to me.

I love #41 live when Boyd goes into his little solo frenzy and it has an upbeat rhythm because Stefan's bass can clearly be heard bouncing up and down!

Right now i think it is my favorite dave song. they all really gel together and jam it well. Icant say enough about it. when they slow it down a bit in concert it also sounds great.

This song just makes sense, and even if you listen to 41 times, it sounds just as good.

Come see, I swear by now I'm playing time against my... Dave's words fit me so well, I feel a bond... definite bond everytime I listen to him, see him on Mtv, go to his shows, I just want a backstage pass to smoke a jimi thing, is that Too Much to ask?

Hey....it's by Dave Matthews Band...that's all that has to be said. It doesn't get any better than this!!!

#41 isn't my favorite DMB song, its not even off my favorite DMB album, but sometimes, I'll just be sitting there and I'll just ffel like listening to #41. Not Any DMB song, specifically #41. Expecailly in Geometry, Is that weird? Oh yeah, DMB started the only concert of them I've ever been to w/#41, too. Ok, bye!

bad fuckin' ass

this is an incredible song. First time i heard it I was at the Amherst D&T show. It just keeps getting better and better. The version that i saw at MSG on Oct 4th was out of this world. It has become one of my altime favorite DMB songs. There is just something special about this song, but i can't really describe it

Sio

I do love this song, and it was awesome that it was the first song that Dave played at my first DMB concert at MSG! That's all I really have to say...not too intelligent, eh?
