In Dave Matthew's Song "Gravedigger", who is Cyrus Jones? Was he an actual person?

Answer 1

He is an imagined character in the song. Here is a quote from Dave Matthews:

"I don't think that the song is particularly grim. I don't think it's a bleak song," Matthews insists. "I think it's somewhat more of a reflection, maybe a request not to forget things very quickly. It's about remembering, even if it's about imagined memories, like looking at someone's grave: 'That person might have been a slave,' 'That person could have been,' 'Her children could have been killed in World War II.' "

Answer 2

Grave Digger Person
