First of all, just behold his raw and unbounded talent, much like our Blog Boy, but in music instead. Watch his hands on the guitar. He is channeling something deeper and greater than what we mere humans can comprehend.
Dave's 'Gravedigger,' which happens to be the only Dave song on my j-Tunes. It just seemed to fit him. The song never fails to give me chicken pimples. Doesn't hurt that he knows the real meaning behind the 'children's rhyme.'
Here he is with Tim Reynolds. He's a fantastic storyteller and, I must admit, bloody well easy on the eyes. Yes. And I love his moment of misanthropy here. I admit I would molest him in a New Yore Minute. You will come to love him, m'dear, I just know it. If all else fails....just look at the eyebrows... They've got a life of their own.
Now, I'm not much for love songs, but this one gets me every time. Well, it's also kind of a lust song, but that's okay too, because it's DAVE with his EYEBROWS being all ARTISTIC in a friend's back yard. Yes, I luff him and, Goddess Willing, you shall too.

Crash Into Me
Another embedding disabled video, but this is my all-time favourite song by Dave. When I heard this on the 'Under the Table and Dreaming' promo I was auditioning for RCA, I was brought to a point of speechlessness, which doesn't come easily. Oh, and I think that's a very young Jeremy Davies in this video for all you fellow LOST fans (could be wrong...)
Satellite
Pretty much my anthem to my Soulmate. The perfect song of seduction for someone who is also a very dear friend. Dave fits for every occasion...
And he's an actor now, too. Not as good as our Dude, but he's very good, especially for a musician. And, again....very easy on the eyes. Can't say that enough. The people at RCA got sick of me saying it. He was also in an episode of House.
Dave's latest. It's amazing how he was just a kid pretty much when he started out. But we were all kids back then, him being a 67 child as well. He's holding his age very well, methinks. Gonna be one of those who just gets better as time rolls on. He's just plain beautiful...but that's just me getting all fangirly, so moderate me immediately. Wait...it's my journal! And his message just keeps getting more intense. So few artists these days are willing to tackle the larger issues and work for change. He's one. So is Ed Kowalczyk. And, of course, Sting and Peter Gabriel. I love them all. But Dave? He's always had a special place in my heart. I guess it's because of how he foiled the music exec's cunning plan of keeping us all in the stranglehold of mediocrity.
Funny the Way It Is
This will be the last one. It's my second favourite by Dave. This performance also shows his sense of humour, which I love.
