Dave Matthews Band is an American rock band that was formed in Charlottesville, Virginia, United States, in 1991. The founding members were singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist.

'The Space Between' is a song written by the Dave Matthews Band. It was released on their 2001 album, Everyday. It was the album's first hit single and the band's first top 40 hit, with its peak at number 22 in the United States – several of their previous singles had been ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 due to a chart quirk. It is also featured on the Dave Matthews Band compilation album The Best of What's Around Vol. 1. It was played for the first time in 1,446 days at LeRoi Moore’s final concert, on June 28, 2008 and has been played live 115 times.

Music video[edit]

The music video, directed by Dave Meyers, was filmed on a pond surrounded by CGI factories and power plants near Orlando, Florida. The video starts out with Dave Matthews playing an acoustic guitar on a cloudy day on the dock of the pond. Right before the first chorus, an old man in a boat appears, as well as the rest of the band on the dock. The old man appears throughout the rest of the video.

Following the first chorus, a boy and girl sitting in the back of an old pickup truck (in the water) appear. The two appear to be dating, or in love. Also, a young woman in the water, played by actress Jaime Pressly, appears holding her baby. After the verse 'We're strange allies with warring hearts, what a wild-eyed beast you be,' the song enters the rising action stage. Things become a bit more intense, and the music becomes a faster more upbeat rhythm. Also, dancers in the waters appear.

After the verse 'All we can do my love is hope we don't take this ship down,' the music pauses. A few seconds later, Matthews resumes singing, and it begins to rain, yet the band plays on. The woman holding her baby brings it even closer to her, and the boy and girl in the pickup embrace. The rain gets harder and harder, and, at one point, the drums that Carter Beauford is playing starts gushing large amounts of water. After the verse 'Love is all we need, dear' Beauford pounds on the drums for a second before stopping.

Following the stopping of the drums, the rain goes away, and again it's just Matthews singing on the dock, this time it's a clear night with a full moon. A woman approaches, and the music slowly fades out, while Matthews walks off with her.

This song was also used as a teaser for the movie Black Hawk Down.

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

Probably get it wrong as much as I get it right
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
What I remember most about that night is
I love the way you move, baby
Yes, I love the way you move, baby

I like most liquor but I don't like gin
Don't always like the skin I'm in
But when I get it wrong, got a start again
Still I love the way you love me, baby
And I love the way you move, baby
I love the way you move, yeah, yeah

CHORUS
All the freaks are on parade
I want to fill my belly, so I got to get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life?
But it don't always work out
Cry, cry, baby, if we must
But just remember, oh, remember

I love the way you love me, baby
And I love the way you move

Not all bad, but I'm a faithful sinner
I might get lost, but I'll be home for dinner
If God don't like me, he can send me to Hell
But I love the way you love me, girl
I love the way you move

Chess live scores. I prayed to Heaven to keep my place
But I looked in the mirror and saw the Devil's face
I'd be a dog for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me, baby
And I love the way you talk, baby
You move
Love the way you move

CHORUS

I love the way you love me, baby
And I love the way you move

The bad days come when the good days gone
Working as hard as the day is long
And a working man works when at home
And I love the way you talk, baby (love the way you talk, baby)
And I love the way you talk, baby

CHORUS

All the people are on parade
Thought I saw a spaceman try to get laid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life?
But it don't always work out
Cry, cry, baby, if we must
But, oh, remember, just remember
I love the way you love me, baby
And I love the way you move
