Sister是Dave Matthews Band最安静的一首歌。
1994年，Dave的姐姐Anne在南非死于家庭暴力，她的丈夫杀了她，然后自杀。
这首歌让人不能不联想到这对任何人来说都会是无法承受的巨大的创伤。这首歌哀伤，无奈，但是纯净，透明，这声音总让我想到春天的夜晚，面对满天繁星。

我们不止一次地听到或者看到从悲恸的记忆中幻化出的美丽的音乐，文字或者艺术作品，那里面没有愤怒，没有仇恨，而是以艺术的方式叙述，纪念那失去的，更是纪念曾经拥有的。拂去记忆中伤痛的尘埃，透过那水晶一般简单纯净的心，看到自己，看到过去。Sister, 这首歌给你。


Pass the time with you in mind
It's another quiet night
Feel the ground against my back
Counting stars against the black

Think about another day
Wishing I was far away
Wherever I dreamed I was
You were there with me

Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister, Sister, keep me

I hope you always knows it's true
I would never make it through
You could make the sun go dark
Just by walking away

Playing like we used to play
Like it would never go away
I feel you beating in my chest
I'd be dead without
