“You And Me” by Dave Matthews

"You and Me" sits at the end of Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King, the seventh studio album by Dave Matthews Band, and in 2009 it became the record's third single. Matthews wrote it, and the words came to him in mid-August 2007 in a boat crossing Saratoga Lake in New York; the band had it recorded by early 2008, one of the first songs finished for the album. Rob Cavallo produced.

Matthews has described it as a kind of birth song, a we-can-do-anything number meant to send the listener off with a lift, and it plays that way: an unhurried G-major stroll at 76 beats per minute, warm rather than flashy. Adult alternative radio took to it, pushing it to number two on Billboard's Triple A chart, and in October 2010 Billboard ranked it the year's third most-played Triple A song.
