Bartender (Dave Matthews Band song) The song is about a person who, while talking to a bartender, deals with thoughts of their own death.

In the song, the protagonist tells others not to have certain feelings about him/her if he/she goes before his/her time. "Bartender" was the first song performed by the band after the August 2008 death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore.[1]
