"So Much to Say" went out in August 1996 as the second single from Crash, Dave Matthews Band's second album, and it's the band at its most wound-up: Dave Matthews' acoustic guitar snapping out a jittery rhythm, Carter Beauford pounding the drums and singing backup, LeRoi Moore's saxophones and Boyd Tinsley's violin darting around each other, Stefan Lessard on bass and piano, and guest Tim Reynolds piling on more guitar. Steve Lillywhite produced, Tom Lord-Alge mixed, and the writing credit goes to Matthews, Tinsley and Peter Griesar.

It picked up a Grammy in 1997, the rock performance award for a duo or group with vocal, climbed to number three on Billboard's Triple-A chart, finishing 1996 as that chart's second-biggest song, and got to 26 in Canada.
