LeRoi

As I stated last month this song is a tribute to LeRoi Moore. He was the saxophonist for the Dave Matthews Band. I was really saddened when I found out about his death. He was one of the greats.
I had written the riff and had started referring to it as my "Dave Riff." I had the chorus down but didn't know what to sing in the versus. When I got word of LeRoi's passing it became obvious. I then started to put together the words. Every line in the versus and bridge references a title from a DMB song. The chorus is about striving for that level I believe LeRoi operated on. This is a memorial. I'll miss LeRoi's playing and contributions.
R.I.P.
