Dave Matthews Band - Samurai Cop (Oh Joy Begin) Lyrics






The day you came
Naked, afraid
Your mother screams and pushes you
The day you came

Oh joy begin
Weak little thing
More precious there'll be nothing known
Oh joy begin

Let's not forget these early days
Remembering we begin the same
We lose our way in fear and hate
Oh joy begin

First just one step
One word and then
With laughter single life begins
First just one step

Let's not forget these early days
Remembering we begin the same
We lose our way, in fear and hate
Oh joy begin

Innocent kiss
Black magic bliss
First broken bones, sudden and swift
Oh innocence

Let's not forget these early days
Remembering we begin the same
We lose our way in fear and hate
Oh joy begin
Oh joy begin
Oh joy begin

    I heard this song for the first time when my youngest girl was born and the lyrics just speak of birth and joy beginning. This video inspired a tattoo that I got for her. The balloon with the elephant on top of it!

  22. S.... R....

  39. W.... S....

    Great drummer's job! I've loved this song from the first note!

  40. M.... B....

    Searched the comments but can't figure out why its called Samurai Cop?? Read the lyrics too and its about babies... lol

    M.... B....

    It was a joke because when they were writing/finishing the song, the movie "Samurai Cop" was on TV and it stuck.

  41. D.... C....

    Still listening in 3027!

  42. M.... D....

    For Lissy. AKA Miss Lis. Forever and always, my sweet girl! 💕

  43. C.... H....

    Has anyone seen them since Tinsley was fired? Do they have a violinist?

    C.... H....

    I saw them four times last year. No violinist, but they added a keyboardist.

  44. q.... ....

    Oh joy begin! Season 8 on Fortnite is coming soon! 😂😂 Beautiful song btw

  45. J.... ....

    First time i heard this was in 2016 in VA Beach. It's become a top 15 favorite for me. Carter has such great rhythm.

  46. A.... H....

    I saw this song in concert last summer, DMB 2018 tour, they played at the gorge

  47. R.... S....

    I listen to Dave Matthews Band now makes me feel my age i remember driving to high school jamming DMB

  48. R.... S....

    Beautiful just beautiful song

  49. L.... R....

    Such a beautiful song. Amazing.

  50. L.... 9....

    Heard it on Ellen show love it

  51. r.... ....

    This song makes me think of my wonderful daughter and makes me want to cry. Beautiful.

  52. N.... ....

    Never a disappointment! Been loving DMB before the turn of the 2000’s!

  53. I.... J....

    This is one of the best DMB songs I have ever heard. I was afraid DMB was gone, that it was starting to end. When I heard this song I knew DMB never went anywhere but up. Absolutely beautiful, thank you.

  54. E.... o....

    I'm here because my best friend liked DMB. I didn't really know that a DMB existed...not until I recognized the song 'Ants Marching' from the radio played in the school bus. I can't help but remember that time period...the bus driver named Penny in her late 20's who rested her LONG legs in 'Daisy Duke' shorts on the dashboard. I was always first on the bus to get the hell out of school. Anyway, my best friend died 5 years ago to complications of neurofibromatosis. I am forever grateful I found my brother and discovered some of the best music I've ever heard.

    Thank you Dave Mathews and band, you brought more joy to my friend in pain then you'll ever know.

  55. A.... J....

    Not a damn word about why it's called samurai cop

    A.... J....

    He gave it a kooky title to get clicks.

    Dave Matthews Band has a strong understanding of social media.

  56. E.... H....

    I love this song, lets make a change. Lets be joyous. God bless Thankyou Dave

  57. J.... H....

    First grandchild born 3-10-18, makes this song so much sweeter to me

  58. U.... J....

    Thanks for not starting them off on That Girl is You. :-)

  59. E.... R....

    this album is fire

  60. r.... ....

    What does it mean to you all when he says “we lose our way in fear and hate/pain”?

    r.... ....

    I think it means that although we begin the same, we will always find ourselves lost through pain. The gift of being an adult when we understand everything which causes us pain. The whole idea of knowledge brings us sorrow which makes us deviate from what we believed in when we we were young and so much of emotions

  61. r.... ....

    This song brings tears to my eyes as I think of my newborn daughter. “Oh joy begin” hits the nail on the head.

  62. G.... I....

    Se la rifan.

  63. A.... D....

    reminds me of one big holiday by mmj

  64. G.... W....

    great stuff

  65. B.... T....

    My son was just born today, and I also just heard this song today. I can't even function right now I'm so overcome with emotions!

  66. P.... M....

    not only is ha a great artist he is a great human being and gives so much back to those that dream like he once did back in charlottesville va

  67. H.... ....

    Not a song yet I haven't loved!

  68. T.... B....

    The drums...I'm shook

  69. M.... N....

    I wish I could attend at least one concert of this wonderful band.

    M.... N....

    You won't regret it - they put on the best shows & you'll hopefully get to hear the classics that made them popular in the first place!

  70. M.... B....

    Amazing Song!!
    Greetings from Mexico.

  71. J.... T....

    It’s so easy to get lost in the melody and not even grasp the message of the lyrics. It’s such a beautiful mix of both. And it is just perfect for his voice. I was hesitant why it was the first song on the latest release but the more you listen to it especially after hearing it only live for years you understand why.

  72. A.... A....

    Song has nothing to do with the film of same name, 0/5 stars.

  73. A.... K....

    I heard the NPR Music tiny desk version first and that's my favorite.

  74. J.... V....

    Shoot! SHOOT HIM! Oh wait, wrong YouTube clip.

  75. D.... O....

    Dave Matthews is on the verge of being snubbed again for the Hall of zFame. His albums have beat Ms shits Gold Celine Dion, not to mention rappers like Kayne West, DMB fans shouldn’t stand for this horse-shit. I love Pearl Jam but Dave killed him both critically and commercial. There is no reason Dave shouldn’t be in the Hall. It sickens me to see a band that saved the music industry by showing them a model to make money without CD sales is being punished.

    D.... O....

    Drew Ostaszewski I’m pretty sure he isn’t even eligible until this year. Isn’t 25 years since first release the requirement?

    D.... O....

    This year's the first time they're eligible for inclusion. Their music is incredible, but their business model, as you pointed out, is revolutionary and makes it possible for bands to survive and thrive on their own. I hope they go in on the first ballot, because they deserve it.

    D.... O....

    Hall of Fame is crap anyway. Hell, Queen didn’t even get in til recently. Freddie Mercury was not in the R&R hall of fame for the longest time.....let that sink in. Lol.

  76. T.... B....

    420 long dog

  77. L.... P....

    Pure Awesomeness
    One cannot top perfection...♥️♥️
    I did not realize that I could love a song so much...

  78. J.... H....

    Just Dave and the boys..genius

  79. J.... G....

    This guy’s voice sounds like the late Chris Cornell.. makes me emotional every time I listen to it

  80. D.... K....

    Love the Baritone guitar tracks!

  81. t.... ....

    terrible song.

  82. s.... ....

    This song is awesome in all ways.

  83. T.... A....

    Love this song and the live versions too. Proud of DMB throughout the years. They have evolved their music and are still my all time favorite band.

  84. R.... D....

    Such a wonderful song. My family are huge dm fans and my mom changed this to her mother son wedding dance at the last second when it was released

  85. m.... s....

    Instantly Historic

  86. C.... K....

    Does anyone know if that's Brandi Carlile saying "Hello" at the end?

    C.... K....

    Robert Rose it’s very possible...

  87. A.... D....

    Anyone else get a pearl jam vibe?

  88. V.... ....

    Anyone else getting king of leon vibes ?

  89. J.... G....

    such powerful lyrics enough to bring a tear to the eye. we love you dave and company never stop making the best of what’s around

  90. N.... R....

    Keep on rocking Dave!!!

  91. A.... J....

    Why isnt this more popular?

  92. c.... b....

    the same

  93. m.... i....

    Heard this on the radio and i could not believe what i was hearing 👀

  94. R.... H....

    Lo amo.

  95. s.... g....

    This song sucks

  96. Q.... B....

    love this song
