Dave Matthews candidly talking about the origin of the lyrics to #41 with his vocal coach

What Dave says here (2015ish) contradicts what he told Rolling Stone magazine around the release of the Crash album that #41 was about a lawsuit/lost friendship w/ manager Robb Hoffman (Referenced in, "Music For The People” by Nevin Martel). Early versions of #41 were played with improv lyrics, w/o a set theme, all throughout 1995. The final version was recorded in early 1996 then released on "Crash" in May of that year.

Video clip is from a longer 10min video promo that DMB's lighting/production company, Filament, had on their Vimeo page years back. DMB's official Youtube channel has the full video, but for some reason it seems it was edited down a bit more than the one that was on Vimeo back in the day. The Youtube version doesn't have the end of this clip w/ Dave talking about the lyrics to #41. You can watch it here though (7min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP9JKKhYapY
