Songfacts:  You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.

The lyrics are a timeline of Matthew's rise to fame, which is the subject of many of the songs of Crash. The song begins as a "humble" tune and gradually develops into a strutting, "proud" song. (thanks, Eric - Bloomingdale, IL)

Dave sugggested at a 2006 concert in Saratoga, NY, that this song is about the human population destroying the world, and one monkey surviving and starting everything over again. (thanks, Ted - Boston, MA)

This is one of the best Dave Matthews Songs. He is an amazing song writer, this song is about growing up and moving on to bigger and better things. The idea of Maturity and "going to the city" is amazing. Love it!

"I am a humble monkey" ---> "I went to the city ... Now I am the proudest monkey"

This song is written about himself, and his slow but steady rise to fame. Now he is the proudest monkey, you'l ever see. Excellent song. A great song to just unwind and relax to. -thanks
