If you like energetic guitars, insightful lyrics, infectious melodies and absolutely fabulous vocals, you are going to love Dakoda Motor Company. Behind the wheels of this musical adventure lie the talents of lead vocalist Davia Vallesillo, guitarist Peter King, bassist Derik Toy, drummer Chuck Cummings and the band's newest member, guitarist Elliot Chenault. Dakoda is a band with a collection of lively tunes that defy categorization. Some call it pop. Others label it alternative. To many it's surfer rock, but whatever you call it - it's fun music with an important message. The nucleus of the band came together when Davia and Peter met at the beach in LaJolla, California. Pretty soon they were leading worship services and began looking for other creative individuals interested in combining music and ministry in a cutting edge band. They found kindred spirits in Chuck, Derik and Elliot. All accomplished musicians on the local scene. The band soon developed an enthusiastic following as they garnered rave reviews opening for mainstream bands like Mary's Danish and dada. Dakoda enjoyed success in the early 90’s, playing and touring with bands ranging form Christian Music’s then giant Petra, to playing on the Vans Warped tour, and everywhere in between. With Davia at the wheel, Dakoda Motor Company is a band that will take you for a ride that you will never forget.

Everything
Dakoda Motor Co. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're over there
And I’m still here
We see things so differently and yet
We're still near
You told me that the ocean
That it seemed so blue
And the sky's forever between
Me and you

Doesn't have to be that way
If our hearts were the same
Then everything would be okay

Just open Your eyes and turn
Away
Come follow the Son with me,
Yeah today
The world that you're on is
Not going to last
The things of this world are all
Going to pass

The phases in your life they
Won't mean a thing
When they all come to pass
There'll be nothing left to sing
We’ll sing about life and we’ll
Sing about God

And we’ll be so close because
We’ll share Him in love

Line by Line Meaning

You're over there
You are in a distance

And I’m still here
I am far away

We see things so differently and yet
We have different perspectives

We're still near
But we are still close

You told me that the ocean
You said the sea

That it seemed so blue
Is blue as it seems

And the sky's forever between
The sky separates us

Me and you
You and I

Doesn't have to be that way
It doesn't have to be like that

If our hearts were the same
If we share the same feelings

Then everything would be okay
Then everything would be fine
