Absolut geniales Lied und seine Stimme ist der absolute Wahnsinn...Wünschte ich hätt es live gehört!!

[zulupaul]

[Friendy72]

[celticsam777]

Danklin wouldn't say he's 'shit' he's just very different you go to listen and appreciate the raw talent without the need for any gimics just him and his instruments and he is phenomenal live!

[Danklin24]

[buckleysgrace]

Check out Filibuskers cover of this awesome tune.

[TheLimo64]

@BT1ZER sorry, misspelled your name- see below? Haha :)

[TheLimo64]

@BT1ZBR I'm a huge fan of Scars too :) a bit gutted about SOAD not getting back together yet, but life goes on I guess :) really, I'd listen to some more David Gray, he's such a great musician- although it seems to me you must have decent musical taste anyway haha :D

[BT1ZER]

I was actually looking for a TOTALLY different song titled "Babylon" as well, I have no idea who this man is, but I enjoyed very much.

If you actually took the time to read this and are wondering what song I was actually looking for, it is by the band "Scars On Broadway". But I must warn you, it might not be your cup of tea...

[lemonpartyd]

exquisite :)

[pantsareforsquares]

Wow he's so talented! How can he balance professional snooker with his music career though?

[dan11009]

@pantsareforsquares yea like jimi hendrix right, whats with these great snooker players being able to play a good tune>?

[DathaWheaton46]

Download the audio from this song at speedyconversion doht cohm.

[Grendel53]

Great tune.

[PumpkinMan66]

Is it just me or has the sound quality degraded. It sounds fuzzy and scratchy now.

[mikejla27able]

Pecka



[000colourful000]

It is now my life's ambition to see David Gray live.

[mauricemorning]

@000colourful000

I saw in in San Francisco a few years before this with this drummer. Great show. This drummer is old enough to be his father or uncle but he rocks and works hard. He came off of his stool with excitement dozens of times! Don't miss David Gray if you get the chance because he's getting better with age.

[MsJparenti]

I want to marry him.



[xXGowgasTracyxX]

IM JEALOUS!

[56music]

Great and great because original...but did anyone hear Daniel Conway sing this song on X Factor Australia auditions...wow, that young guy has to be a future star..the emotion he put into singing this song was amazing

[dgunnerz1]

@56music yeah that was sick. he was the man

[sonuic10173]

yeeesssss hes coming to galway for arthurs guinnes day!!! Gonna be some craic roll on thursday some beer music and mr gray himself :)

[MrSupermanPants]

fantastic.

[rainbowsquonk]

my friday night song

[santamara]

Love him!!

[kiecon01]

get in

[jennychuchu]

Is there some reason he uses the word "Babylon"? I'm unable to see any metaphor anywhere in the song related to any definition of Babylon. It's as if he just wanted to come up with a name that seemed esoteric, and he stuck the lyrics "Babylon, Bablyon" into the chorus as an afterthought. It feels contrived to me because it really doesn't seem to have anything to do with the rest of the song... sometimes that sort of thing is alright, but in this case it's really distracting to me.

[dnpbs]

@jennychuchu

babylon means in translation "in confusion", it's from the myth of the tower of babel... babel is the hebraeic word for babylon...

i think that connects in someway to the song...

greets from germany!! so damn, that he's not that well known here, such a great artist....

[PadC93]

Shame on the 22 people who disliked this!

[europadesigns]

I like his wobbly head. Looks like a Churchill doggy

[scomberscombrus]

yeah to below and i dont know what camera you had but nicely done with the camera work too

[highlandwolf01]

great stuff man, sounds brilliant..you know a good performer from the audience..if theyre so into it theyre singing as loud as the singer...he or she is good..and david is good.thanks for this

[orionstroller]

Just stumbled across a video of a true rough diamond, His name is Conall Toal. The video is very amateur but the sound and lyrics are great. He’s really writing about something which is nice to hear these days. If You like him? Spread the word!

[JaWz993]

[danielforever]

Who the F*** is Dan Crisp and why are his comments fattening up these comments!

[rehabib2]

are you actually comparing him to britteny spears and rihanna ? you are banned from this day forward to ever listen to grey again period end of story .

[MusicIzMySavior]

@rehabib2 listen kid, try 2 comprehend what i said...i said his music is much better than the current stuff we have ie rihana and britney, i know music and this sir is music

[rehabib2]

@MusicIzMySavior

who you callin kid , dick ? Yeah you know music that's why you compare one of the greatest artist in the world today with two of the cheesiest.

[rehabib2]

@MusicIzMySavior

who you callin kid , dick ? Yeah you know music that's why you compare one of the greatest artist in the world today with two of the cheesiest.

[MusicIzMySavior]

@rehabib2 kid i did not compare u moron, try 2 comprehend the sentence, u fool..go grow some brain cells, i said his music is much better than the bullshit of today ie rihana and britney, fucking retard

[rehabib2]

@MusicIzMySavior Read your post you said and I quote " he's great much better than Brittany and Rihanna. Now calm down you old fucker before you break a hip. I hear what your sayin and I apologize for messy with you. I lift the ban. Sorry keep on grooving.

[MusicIzMySavior]

@rehabib2 lol yes better than the music of today..which is rihana and britney mate,lady gaga, its not 2 hard 2 comprehend, i mean i love the old stuff 60s..up 2 the 90s but i like this guy, all this digital music, this rubbish..it ruined music what a shame

[rehabib2]

@MusicIzMySavior yea its amazin the shit they feed the masses . my oldest girl said she wanted to be like hanna montana , daddy said there go's the cable . its really ashame what some people call music . i like lenard cohen , jim morrison , marley , dylan . you know music that makes you want to be greater . ever hear mike zito's cover of little red corvette . i highly recommend it.

[hoplite46]

@rehabib2 Good Comment

[adtheowl]

@MusicIzMySavior davids grey's music may not have changed the world but it certainly changed mine.

[rgncajun21]

He's always been a humble person.

[MusicIzMySavior]

im not sure if hes..the british version of bob dylan..bob dylan was a gift from god 2 be honest...but hes great..much better than britney and rihana...and remember bob dylan music changed the world...but david gray is great

[thomasrix]

Agreed, he's a humble and from the heart musician. Britney etc are 100% glitz, 0% genuine heartfelt music

[mostofthetime]

Amazing :)

[IanCrossland]

Great job man!

[jonieheffner]

...what a bleeping great performer!!!!!!

[PerfumeandLace45]

@jonieheffner I SO FRIGGIN AGREE.........FOR CRYING OUT LOUD LOL

[jonieheffner]

@PerfumeandLace45 ...yeah yeah....lol...for crying outloud.

[TheAnandaXX]

I know that Bob Dylan is a highly regarded musician. I have never got him personally, I strongly believe that this man is a genius..... Not disrespecting Bob

[FatalisKiller4U]

I completely agree. A british Bob Dylan. I dont think that mr. Dylan is evern slightly offended. I agree with you.

[weedgrip]

but He's Canadian,Isn't He ?

[lCarriGMaNl]

@weedgrip No, hes british!

[twiliteluvar]

he's British...

[MusicIzMySavior]

read my comment carefully..bro..i didnt say he isnt british, i said he might not be the british Version of bob dylan but he is great

[plowize]

english

[insomattack]

wish the sound quality was better. it's terrible. hard to comment on the performance.

[JAG4487]

i agree with that comment just like bob dylan simply amazing

[IPhatDaddy]

Reminds me of a new Bob Dylan. Simply amazing.

[lhart99]

That's exactly what I'm saying, bro :-). To me its so freaking scary, in a good way, that I'm often at a loss for words. This guy has so much talent and reminds me of Dylan that its scary to think about. Lol.

[mfd19ify]

[rockybba]

Among all the sucks of british music arena these days, David gray is one of the great - a true musician with brilliant quality and tunes, and lyrics. I hope still brits r not finished perhaps we can give the world obviously in US an artist like David.

[Octahoney]

Not sure what you meant by your comment...I am american and a david grey fan. Everyone deserves great music artists. :)

[aseeldesign]

I like this song cuz its nice and I am from Babylon...my little city.

[DUMIG]

[prfctday]

There's a performer who has well and truly paid his dues! "here I am Chicago - I've been doing this for fricking years! - I've worked for this!!"

[04Alphabetty]

the thing he took outta his ear is like something where the directir gives him queues and tells him what to sing and stuff!

[Rocky75555]

what is the thing in his ear he takes out at 3:55?

[feetheweasel]

in ear monitor.

its how he hears the band and/or himself.

[clocktower7]

A song that has very profound lyrics and feeling in my opinion. Very moving from 3min 54.

Let go of your heart...Let go of your head... and feel it now! Excellent.

[indratumur]

David Gray rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bahodur1979]

AMAZING ....

[06081992t]

[lostismyconstent]

[Nootkah]

You can tell he's having so much fun playing it. I like it better than the studio version. And damn, I'd never say he's 40!

[iCanada24]

awesome!!!!!!!!!he is the best!!!!!

[davytin]

All Time Classic. One Of The Best. For David Gray Look-A-Like Check Out Chin&Tindog On Youtube. With Guitar!

[acgolem]

baba o'riley sorry. every one give it a go its an oldy but a goody. not quite so emotional but just as good if not better. the musicians are outstanding and the lyrics suit our generation even tho they where written over 30 years ago. I just hate CSI for making the who common/ david gray is not bad either maybe could have changed something after 10 cds its getting a little repetitive but what can you do

[acgolem]

tymadness I recommend you watch bubba-o-riley by the who I love this song and divid gray but the whos drumer is freakn sweet. the earlier the video the better still not the best ever but very good none the less

[TyMadness]

best drummer in the world...

[BlackBones93]

lol prisoners of guantanamo bay are tortured by this

(thats true!!! i don't dislike this song... google: guantanamo david gray)

[jogga123]

I read that too,I like David Gray but apparently its true.

[Legaleze50]

Amazing. I watch this version every time I come here.

[JaeZz83]

hes the best...awesome

[CherishRiverCrossing]

This is one of my fav vids. Its so well done. It really makes me think of my own situation in my life and hey a brave man needs our help on you tube!

This hottie jumped off a cliff for his dream! Its 4 real!

To watch it just type this in the You Tube search box:

ONE MAN. ONE DREAM. ONE CHANCE.

Captain America did a daredevil cliffhanger risking his life for her! The Vid starts off slow but by the end I was crying my eyes out.

Copy And Paste On Other Vids To Help Fight Cancer!

[cmac94]

He's my fav. and he's awesome because he plays guitar..............in ur face blunt! (idk)

[riverface123]

[rockodromo89]

[cancans26]

[irishguy20007]

Why does he put his bottom lib back between sentences. is this a habit or is it a vocal technique.
