Wikipedia article
"'Crush'" is a song by the Dave Matthews Band, released as the third single from their album 'Before These Crowded Streets'. As a single, it reached number 11 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, number 75 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, number 38 on the Top 40 Mainstream, and number 20 on the Adult Top 40. As the album version is over eight minutes in length, the song time was cut almost in half for radio airplay and the music video.
The song was almost omitted from 'Before These Crowded Streets' as the band struggled with it in the studio until bassist Stefan Lessard came up with the opening bass line that set the tone of the song for the rest of the band.Rodgers, Jeffrey Pepper (1999).
