"Funny the Way It Is"
Song

"Funny the Way It Is" is the first single from Dave Matthews Band's album Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King. Matthews said that it "talks about the world of opposites that we are in." [1] The single reached #37 on the Billboard Hot 100, #22 on the Modern Rock Tracks (their first song on that chart since 2002's Grey Street), and #17 on the Hot Digital Songs chart in its first week of release.[2] It is also their first #1 on the AAA chart since 2002's Where Are You Going.

The song was also released as a free download on the band's website.

Music video

A music video was released in June 2009, shortly after the album was released. It was directed by Fenton Williams and produced by Ryan Gall and Jeff Crane of Filament Productions.[3]
