It's SO great to see Dave finally working with class players. It's great for his songs, and gives them much more musical depth. You can see he's really flourishing these days.
Honestly, one of his greatest songs, even considering albums such as flesh and lost songs. David is one of the few artists in a day when "artists" such as Kesha and Lady Gaga own the airwaves. Simply brilliant!
DAVID GRAY is my HERO....I write songs and sing backing to them (unfortunately I dont have the voice to sing them) and they get number 1's regularly in Ireland.......I was wondering whether David would ever give us Irish a chance to hear him again?
...I just want democracy, human rights and equality in Iran for all Iranians, the rule of law. Respect for all Iranians; regardless of gender, race, religious or not. Until that day! We’ll change it ourselves, slowly but surely, under our terms, for our home.
I'm from Iran! I'm in tears! This song always resonated with me, now I know why! I don't support the mullahs, the Shah lovers, the mujahidin nor any other group that only sees it "this way or that way", "the mullahs or us". My mum says: grandpa (RIP) used to say at the time of the revolution “all dictators”!
Amazing! So powerful and emotional....it's the essence of David Gray. Though I've been a longtime fan, I have just recently been getting into the Draw the Line album. This is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Thanks for including the intro... his background story on the song helps me piece it all together & understand it at its core.
I have both this version and the studio version and I absolutely love this version more than studio, but that's just my opinion. I have a thing for acoustic performances lol.
Superb!! juz cant go out of tune while listening 2this album,,,,, its damn awesum,,, dowloaded the entire album for free at DownloadMusic/./im , remove the slashes..

man he puts so much emotion into his songs!!!!!! one of the greatest artists of all time in my book ,, people keep asking me these ? who is your top 10 and david is always in there no matter what
@Childinyou It is interesting because his songs never get doll and bored like other ones...more you listen to them more you get inspired and happy...everytime i listen to his songs im happiest man alive.
I love David, been a fan for years. I've seen him in concert about three times. Wonderful live, quite possibly one of the best performers I've ever seen. He is definitely unappreciated--HUGE TALENT!
This man has so much talent and should be given much more credit and saught after world wide, than he is given....Excellence....is not enough to describe the lyrics and greatness of each song...
I adore this song; just saw this show on fuse half an hour ago, and listened to it even though I didn't know him. I can't find this anywhere else. Nowhere. It's amazing; it rips at your heart and makes you think. Definitely love it.
yeah i just watched this a few hours ago on fuse. it was like 1 o clock in the morning im flippin thru the channels and see live at abbey road. never even heard of the show but ive heard of the studio, so i gave it a try. i had no idea who this guy was but i immediately fell in love with his music
1:19 into the song, you'll see a "kapo" (i don't know the name because I don't play guitar) and he is all the way where the body and the neck of the guitar join. If you start here (and know the guitar) you should be able to figure it out. Good luck. Wish I had the talent.
holy feck. best of D.G. so far. The enjoyer of this song can get into being the guitarist, the bassist, the drummer and the singer. He makes all the parts speak their name. Complicated all together, but easy to single out. TALENT!!!!!!
I'm really digging this song, it seems to have a lot of emotion invested in it. Next time I'm drumming, I'll try and put a good track down for it (brushes of course).
And how many different emotions in one song, loss, wonder, sympathy, vulnerability, risk, realization, penance, ignorance, risk again, violation, privacy, exposure.
Let me say first, I have been a fan of David Gray since 2000. This is not only his best song, but the best live performance of any artist I have ever seen! Right on, keep it coming!!!!!!
I usually don't comment on my own videos but now I have just uploaded it and watched it again can I just say thank you to David, Neil and Rob for this superb song and performance. This is really something different and it excites you and calms you down at the same time... great stuff guys !
i love this song <3. he is such a sweet guy, i've met him twice now in toronto :)
