I was never a big Mathews fan until I heard this song, then I realized what they played on the radio was the least interesting stuff from him and he was a well of talent. This acoustic version demonstrates the level of talent Mathews has. Killer version here.
That can be said about so many artists. People think the same about John Mayer, but he's on the level of Jimi Hendrix and SRV, perhaps even a better version of the two. You would really only know this if you looked into his playing, not the crap on the radio.
Oh hell yes. Never listen to anything from Dave Matthews on the radio, or for that matter studio albums. It is all over produced and trash.. ok not trash, just not what he is good at in my opinion. He is amazing and when he plays with Tim it is the most magical thing since immaculate conception. My first introduction to Dave Matthews was Live at Luther College and from that day forward I was hooked.
Me too. My wife is a big fan and I went to a concert with her and all I can say is that I was blown away! One of the best , entertaining concert I’ve seen. See them live you will not regret it . They jam.
This is my favorite for a few reasons…. In the unfortunate truth of this world, many of us bury our children….😢so this hits home for me…. Sigh.💔 Thank you Dave Matthews for this gem. Love, Timmy’s Mom #Forever11 #TimmysMom #ileftmyheartinheaven
When I was 12 my sister 10, my great grandmother died at 98. We went to a funeral with her looking much different in her open casket, first dead person I had ever seen. We all drove a hundred miles to where she would be buried next to her long dead husband. The casket was suspended over the hole, the service was done and having nowhere else to go we all loitered around the cemetery, well the workers finally came out removed the fake grass from the pile of displaced earth, lowered the casket into the ground, and with one motion of a little skip loader filled in the grave compacted it and drove away, to the collective silence of all. We all stood there in stunned silence...this song reminds me of that day 47 years ago.
And still remember it like it was yesterday . I know the feeling . I know this is a year late reply ,but i hope your life is ok . Peace to you and yours
I'm a grave digger and that's exactly what we do. We're so connected with death that we understand we'll all be under that bell shortly. It isn't that they didn't care, it's that they understand the reality of what happens to all of us. The cemetery workers deal with their own mortality on a daily basis. Just think about that. Think about burying the 20 year old, the five year old, the 30 something year old. That's your own mortality staring you straight in the face.
thank you dave for this song, i gave my twin brother a shallow grave on the beach so he could feel the rain and have sunsets forever rip mark xoxo mike
Michael Parker - So sorry Mike, I can't imagine especially having an identical twin brother. Hasn't always been easy but it's like having a built in best friend that always understands what you're talking about! Just know that he is in a much better place now. We all hope to get there when it's our time. If you ever want to talk or anything let me know and we can connect. No crap here, not some weirdo, only sincere. My best
Hey bro, i know it's been years, but i have a twin brother as well and i could not hold my tears by reading your comment, i hope your brother rests well, i hope you are hanging there :)
Jeez how I wish I could’ve been there for this concert. Goes down as one of the best ever. When it comes to Tim and Dave there is this and Luther College.
Tim Reynolds Makes the songs amazing in my opinion. Including Gravedigger. Especially Gravedigger, This way, when that one line makes you stop listening and think hits you, you have something to listen to when you think. Also, what about the people who are interested in listening to the Music more than the words?? His playing with the song makes it so complete that no matter what you like to listen to, there is something in the song that piques our interest.
This song stucked into my head for so damn long now. Someone played it in our van when we drove to a festival 10 years ago? The lyrics are so strong it's magical. I choke everytime I listen to this song.
gravedigger lyrics-dave matthews Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913 Made his great granchildren believe You could live to a hundred and three A hundred and three is forever when you're just a little kid So Cyrus Jones lived forever Gravedigger When you dig my grave Could you make it shallow So that I can feel the rain Gravedigger Muriel Stonewall 1903 to 1954 She lost both of her babies in the second great war Now you should never have to watch Your only children lowered in the ground I mean you should never have to bury your own babies Gravedigger When you dig my grave Could you make it shallow So that I can feel the rain Gravedigger Ring around the rosey Pocket full of posey Ashes to ashes We all fall down Gravedigger When you dig my grave Could you make it shallow So that I can feel the rain Gravedigger Little Mikey Carson 67 to 75 He rode his Bike like the devil until the day he died When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertigo on the flying trapeze Ohhh, 1940 to 1992 Gravedigger When you dig my grave Could you make it shallow So that I can feel the rain Gravedigger When you dig my grave Could you make it shallow So that I can feel the rain Feel the rain I can feel the rain Gravedigger Gravedigger
I appreciate all the folks who put these videos up so I can watch the whole concert, but I still gotta get the DVD! Especially since there's this really cool extra short movie called "So Damn Lucky" (I think) that I can't seem to find on CZcams.
What do you say after that??!! Thank you GOD!!! Simply cremate me so I can always feel the rain! Does anyone really think that our Creator can't raise us from dust a 3rd time?
"when ya dig my grave could ya make it shallow, so that I can still hear DAVE!!!
Kevin Harris me and you both!!!!

I fell in love with him after seeing this entire show in a $30k home theatre. I was enchanted the entire time.
I buried my son and this song is so dear to me! I hope my grave is shallow so I can feel the rain
im sorry for you son. I have two litte guys....cant imagine that
I feel you, bless you
💙
Bless you
Just found ound i got stage 4 cancer😑
every time I hear this song, regardless the version - it touches my soul.. Thank you Dave...
But this version is best, to me
@@ESL-O.G. the only version. Lol
Same here

"Gravedigger when you dig my grave could you make it shallow so I can still hear Dave"....
Amen
This song is next level with Tim's guitar.
this song gives me that goosebumps feeling when you hear a song that really connects with you.
Besides being a skilled musician Dave Matthews is a wonderful poet
Incredibly underrated.
He’s also great in the sack
Melissa do you know that my personal experience and if you do how lucky are you
I meant do you know that by personal experience
I haven't cried in about 15 years. This song hit me so fucking hard and I just started crying uncontrollably... Now it gets me every fucking time....
that final bend... This guys have an amazing feeling. I love it.
It's hard to understand why I enjoy this song.
But, I do, especially when it becomes real.
Such a wonderful song about such a great monster truck.
Damn his voice sounds so good!!!
I saw Dave matthews band 3 times. I loved the microphone. I wish I could see them again.
This is probably the best bluray concert video out there. The quality of the recording and the talent of these guys is phenomenal.
For those thinking of loved ones they have lost, may they rest in peace and may they feel the rain.
As in may they have a shallow grave?
This is a beautiful song that touches my heart every time I hear it.
Beautiful. And Tim does the detailed work; a great guitarist.
Ego is set aside, and he lets his playing speak for itself.
@@angrytater2456 yes very talented
That emotion on that last verse tho
@1:53 Proof...Dave could sing a phone book, and I would sit in awe.
Lost a friend on Monday (9-14-2022). She found my sister dead. May 2010
I miss them both.
2:36, love what Tim does. The whole song is amazing but that little couple seconds ... amazing.
From 1:19 to 1:39 beautifull arrangemends from Tim
thank you dave for this song, i gave my twin brother a shallow grave on the beach so he could feel the rain and have sunsets forever rip mark xoxo mike
+Michael Parker So sorry for your loss.
Michael Parker so bitter sweet :(

His live version was the first hearing this song.

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow, So that I can feel the rain...............
Damn this song reminds me of my friends who died this year and now I'm sad
Wow.... just wow!
Such an amazing song, lyrics, voice, pretty much everything. man, I love this song.
An incredible song. 😢
i just love it… and he is sooo attractive when he is singing this this song
Genius songwriter and performer
i really love this song. the guitar is beautiful.
Masters of their craft.
Derek Price what craft precisely? I'm just missing it.
Tim Reynolds Makes the songs amazing in my opinion.
Including Gravedigger. Especially Gravedigger, This way, when that one line makes you stop listening and think hits you, you have something to listen to when you think.

I wish I had been there ❤❤❤❤
damn tim reynolds is a tasteful player. he perfectly compliments daves rhythm playing
I love you for giving me something to listen to. I love a rainy night.
Where have the years gone, so depressing
How does this video only have 1M views? Seriously?!
I lost a brother in a DUI accident back in 1990. 1966-1990
This song stucked into my head for so damn long now. Someone played it in our van when we drove to a festival 10 years ago? The lyrics are so strong it's magical. I choke everytime I listen to this song.
best song ever in my opinion
So that i can feel the rain ....
Uma das melhores músicas de todos os tempos .

I LOVE THIS SONG AND THE STORY BEHIND IT!
What's the story behind it?
Great version, 💓Love it
I have this album (the live show with Tim) hands done my favorite Dave Matthews album.
kbutta01 bought it off iTunes and I have the DVD. This got me into music.
Love this song!
The two best acoustic guitar players at least in the top 4 or 5
This is fantastic!
Great song! One of my favorites!!
Tim Reynolds! Saw these guys live in Albuquerque a few years back.
I agree, picture and sound are outstanding.,
What an amazing song.

Well still kicking.
A masterpiece
Incredible.
Such a good song
Our grave means life, if you love Jesus!
omg wonderfuly done!

gravedigger lyrics-dave matthews
Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Made his great granchildren believe
You could live to a hundred and three
A hundred and three is forever when you're just a little kid
So Cyrus Jones lived forever
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
Muriel Stonewall
1903 to 1954
She lost both of her babies in the second great war
Now you should never have to watch
Your only children lowered in the ground
I mean you should never have to bury your own babies
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
Ring around the rosey
Pocket full of posey
Ashes to ashes
We all fall down
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
Little Mikey Carson 67 to 75
He rode his
Bike like the devil until the day he died
When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertigo on the flying trapeze
Ohhh, 1940 to 1992
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Feel the rain
I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
Gravedigger
Oh my he's so good
Gravedigger, When You Dig My Grave...
Can You Make It Shallow So I can Feel The Rain.
Shame not even a million people have viewed this amazing rendition of this song but LiL Naz can get a billion views on something.
After playing the song a thousand times. Dave probably loved a new twist to it.
`Class
Music For My Funeral...
Happy 420!!!
some of the best shit ever
Dave Matthews
Sing it baby!
I appreciate all the folks who put these videos up so I can watch the whole concert, but I still gotta get the DVD! Especially since there's this really cool extra short movie called "So Damn Lucky" (I think) that I can't seem to find on CZcams.
WOW!
2019!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love yu for playing for me!
I wonder if the people who were at this show realize just how lucky they were.
its freakin hard to find the music video to this lol- i love it so much though
When i die this is my song
If you don't own the bluray the tru Dolby soundtrack and special features make it woth every penny. Radio City has never looked or sounded so good!
35 people won't feel the rain when the gravedigger digs their grave
34 now...
Thats 62 now brother....
Damn
Makes you wonder what they were thinking when they navigated to the video and opened it. Who were they expecting.. the Trololo guy?
I don’t get it
for my best friend doc tipsy restin in peacer
What do you say after that??!! Thank you GOD!!! Simply cremate me so I can always feel the rain! Does anyone really think that our Creator can't raise us from dust a 3rd time?
yep
