Under the Table and Reading: Short Stories Inspired by the Music of Dave Matthews Band

By Matt Stone

Under the Table and Reading Short Stories Inspired by the Music of Dave Matthews Band What if the right song could explain your whole life? Under the Table and Reading is a deeply immersive collection of seven original short stories, each inspired by the emotion, spirit, and lyrical undercurrent of a different Dave Matthews Band song. But you don't have to be a DMB fan to feel every beat of this book - this is for anyone who's ever been held together by a chorus, cracked open by a lyric, or rescued by melody when nothing else could. From grief and longing to laughter, redemption, and the everyday magic of being seen, these stories carry you through broken hearts and late-night dives, rooftop confessions, whispered prayers, and love that rebuilds when no one's watching. Whether it's Stone begging God for answers in Bartender, Please , Clara clawing toward color in The End of the World and Grey Street , or Ella and Nico discovering the sacred in the silly in Pick Me Up, Love , each story hums with the ache and beauty of being human. This collection isn't about the songs. It's because of them. So roll down the windows. Let the stories in. Let the music explain what words sometimes can't.
