A concert performed in 2007. Brilliant version of his most well known song, Followed by an extended version of "Please Forgive Me". The Double Bass player is amazing!!! Rob
Driving home with our two sleeping children in the back of the car, street lights on, steel night sky and this playing softly. Children now grown up with children of their own. Wow, right back in the heart of that sweet memory.
Babylon is a great tune but it’s all about Please forgive me, for me. Liked the song and then was on trip to New York in 2003 and it came on in bar and it just felt so familiar and warm whilst I felt so far away from my girlfriend, now wife, in England. Hearing it in 2023 has me a bit of a mess on a slightly drunk Friday night
I can't believe I have not heard this song for the first time until about a month ago. It's such a beautiful song. I'm 66 and wished I would have heard this years ago. But, I get to listen to it now with a new appreciation to music.
Remembering my true love gave this CD to me. I never realized what the words were until I really listened to them. I missed out on my true love. Please forgive me and my stupidity. Love these songs but it really hurts me now.
I fell in love with David Gray all on my very own. Very EARLY thirties. It happened to come on the radio. I was hooked. I played it for the man i married & has my twins. We were bith immediate David Gray lifetime fans. Oh how id love to ti see him anytime, then or now. I slways know when its him. Hes wonderful. ✨💗✨🎶✨
This was the sound track that saw me through a painful messy expensive divorce. Somehow i got through it battered tired and angry with a life that shat on me.but i came through more wiser.....its funny that the saddest songs gives you a musical hug and lifts your head and hart and soul.......thanks David Gray.if i see you down my local ill buy you a beer.........................and that voice original soulful and expressive , you were blessed by god..................sincere heartfelt love from me.......................Doug
I'm 72 now and about 22 yrs ago in S.F. I had one of only 3 deeply romantic gestures in my life, this one from an Argentinian young man singing and playing this song Babylon for me suddenly outside where I lived. I didn't even know he knew how to play guitar. It was exquisitly wonderful. Never to forget Luciano. Thankyou.
@Bago Meat Jamie doesn’t always mean James, in this case it doesn’t. I’m not the one on RU-vid looking for gay men, looks like you’re finding it hard to come to terms with your sexuality buddy.
Started listening to him again after a good few years and now that im 10-15 years older you realise how fuckin good this guy is and what a tune can't stop listening to it☺ woooo oooh iiiii
I was about 30 when he cracked the music industry and just getting out of all the Oasis shit. Best time of my life as a song writer and guitarist. A real eye opener.
This is what talent is. He sounds just as good as the recordings if not better live. He appears to sing effortlessly and his raspy voice is incredible. What an incredible gift to us all. It's a shame he doesn't get more recognition.
How is it possible that it only gets better each time I listen? The man is a musical genius. This album will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️
This is Album is so Special to me, no words to explain, absolutely heartfelt filled with tears… Beautiful ❤️ in my heart, I can listen to this, him over and over…. He hits Home…
I agree that the album is totally outstanding. It seems like it was so good that he hasn't been able to repeat with another great album. For us/me it's awesome to have these to listen to; I can not hear them too much. So many songs that you hear and like but get tired of - not the songs from "Draw the LIne"/David Gray. So much emotion in the performances and meaningful lyrics; just great!
I’ve renewed my love for these two songs. I used to play it in the car. In Please Forgive Me there is a line ‘I’ve got half a mind to scream out loud’. My little daughter would scream! She’s 24 now and still remembers these songs. Music so powerful and everlasting. Where are you now David?
It's on Bridget Jones, Brennan Jules and Mark Don Cassie. That's why I got the flu shot in the pub. I guess Neil was trying to block it with Jules. I don't hold grudges after being locked in a hospital room with Cassie Mark Don. Thankfully the panic attacks have stopped now.
Saw him live years ago. He blew my mind with his talent. I was expecting mediocre and got brilliance. If you ever get the chance to see him live grab it with both hands
@@krzykris YOU'VE lost years. I've been in an absolute shit-hole of a "home" for the brain-dead and debilitated for over three years now, with virtually zero chance of EVER getting out of here, Damitol.... :-|
David Gray pull at your soul and rips your heart , he heightens every emotion known to man and any yet undiscovered . He is a true romantic poet who knows human nature right down to it very core .
To me this is how these songs were created & should always be performed. Singer songwriters are rare, great ones like David are in short supply & amazingly talented.
I remember my mother playing White Ladders in the car all the time growing up, this album has stuck with me throughout the years. Now, I play it with my baby in the back seat. I’m taking him to his concert next July. My life truly wouldn’t be what it is, without this soundtrack. It’s time for me to carry on that legacy
I just love his gravelly voice and his lyrics that cut right to my heart. I will never be able to hear this song without thinking of someone who meant so much to me but who got away. This song brings tears to my eyes. Every. Single. Time. ❤️❤️
I was lucky enough to see David years before the pandemic in San Diego at the SDSU amphitheater. Didn't realize that would be my last live concert at the time, who knew😲 Babylon is the big hit but "Please Forgive Me" is a great song, even better live when they jam out from the middle to the end. David was really feelin it that night and he started going crazy with the head bob. I thought he must need a chiropractor with him on tour to do that every night 😁
This is an all time classic. David deserves far more credit than he gets for his beautiful music and lyrrics. This song will love with me forever as it will for millions for whom it was so meaningful at the time it was released. All these years later it still moves me.
I first seen David on Jools Holland singing Birds without wings and was hooked. A fantastic artist who sings songs that means so much to me and sure many,many more. Thank you Mr Gray. It’s a pleasure listing to your songs
These songs are amazing even after all these years takes me back to wen I first heard them happy times and such an amazing artist with such a fantastic voice don’t think he got the recognition he truly deserves for such great tunes
Really is he for real ? Or an angel just sent from heaven . Who can be that sweet and lovely. He’s s true to his heart u don’t often see that in men it’s beautiful simply beautiful
Finally got to see David Gray last week in Glasgow 2 yrs after he was meant to play..Best concert I've been to in a long time.. the chat from him was great as well
Yes n same of there voices have just got better over time ..like the guy from verve...fuck just woke ..can't rem his name..but his voice has matured like a fine wine ...it's wow
IIRC, the one and only time I've heard him sing was opening for DMB many, many years ago. I loved him then....actually preferred his vocals to Matthew's. I just stumbled on this....GREAT to hear him again!
Saw him at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham (It's essentially a much smaller Royal Albert Hall, built solely for intimacy & acoustics). I've seen some seriously talented musicians but id probably say his gig was number one, he took me somewhere special for an hour and half.
I saw him with my mum and dad in Leeds up at the university. He was soooooo good I will never forget it. My dad passed away 11 years ago. He loved David 😍
Jeez, just what a skillful guy he is, I have many Genres I love, from DnB to Jazz to old classics, but David Gray really is the soundtrack to my life. So nicely done. What a gem.
David Gray is huuuuuuge, you could take all his instruments away, he'll tap a beat out on his knee and his thigh and keep writing, his most amazing skill. Such a genuine and generous person too. One of the most important folk singers to ever have come out of the United Kingdom, or Liverpool for that matter. I am Scottish, but I'll still say, as far as England goes, he is a national f**king treasure!
Sometimes you hear an artist, whose words and music just touch your soul. David Gray is one of those musicians. Hope to see him in concert in Nashville in 2021 (show was cancelled in 2020).
Hi Mark. I"ve had his music on repeat for a few days now. Love his music and completely agree with your comment. It touches deep. Can you tell me when he'll be in Nashville?? Would love to see him...
