I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
@RepFine Freedom of the press includes the freedom to air or not air propaganda.
It’s been six years and you people are still following the unproven rantings of the world’s most infamous sore loser.
Zero evidence is still zero evidence.
Tonight at SPAC, Dave Matthews stood center stage, voice full of fire, and spoke the truth we’re all carrying in our hearts: “I am sick of this fucking President.”
He called out the ongoing ICE killings, the cruelty, the heartbreak no one can ignore anymore.
The whole amphitheater rose up with him — singing, shouting, fists in the air — a sea of real people united in exhaustion and hope.
This is what love for humanity sounds like.
We see you, Dave. We feel this. America is done.
Share this if your soul is screaming the same thing. ❤️🔥
Damn, it must be really embarrassing to be a trump supporter right now. I’d feel bad for them if they hadn’t voted to make everything worse for the entire globe.
@ColoradoOhio When you know someone is going to spend an hour LYING, why the hell should ANY organization give that person an outlet to do that? Give me a break.🙄
