This is a great example of how the band works together as one unit. Even if all the money in the world is obtained, one cannot take all of that with him when he/she dies. These elements race with anticipation until all the elements are combined in an explosive bridge to the first verse of the song. "Celebrate we will,/because life is short but sweet for certain" are some other lyrics found in the chorus. It starts with the familiar pounding on the snare drum, followed by bits and pieces from all the band members. Tinsley plays the violin like no other. It is musically a very fun and powerful song. This song begins with Matthews strumming the same note over and over, while special guest guitarist Tim Reynolds solos over him and as Tinsley plucks his violin. The "climbing two by two" is referring to the animals on Noah’s ark. It also takes on a "seize the day" outlook. The lyrics in the chorus, "We’re climbing, two by two,/to be sure these days continue. Seek Up describes the people who live for the riches and power, all of which will mean nothing in the end. " These lyrics basically sum up the entire song. These great tempo changes really bring a fun emotional impact to the song. Leroi Moore plays flute, saxophone, and clarinet which mixed with modern instruments, create an odd combination of sounds, finally Carter Beauford, known for his excellent improvisational skills and perfect fill-in’s, lights up the drums with a talent that few have.
