The first David Gray song I heard was 'Babylon'. I had no info about who it was but spent 2 days tracking it down. I now have 'Babylon' as my cell ringtone.
Probably the most ingenious invention in history of music, the piano.
David Gray, the instance of a brilliant musician with wonderful lyrics and music in modern times. Both together, damn, could it be better? I don´t think so.
I can't even articulate the emotions that this song and all of his music inspires....his music is brilliant, his lyrics are absolute poetry, and his voice is soulful and haunting...David Gray is in a class of his own...
Thank you so much marcello for posting these amazing DG videos!! We are so blessed to get to see them. I had the wonderful privilege of seeing DG for the first time this past spring and was grateful to God for the experience. I was moved beyond words the entire time.
I keep coming back to this video, hauntingly beautiful song and i love how it gets a life of its own whenever he performs it live, the raw emotion in his voice, just perfect.
"On winter trees the fruit of rain Is hanging trembling in the branches Like a thousand diamond buds And waiting there in every pause That old familiar fear that claws you Tells you nothing ain't no good Then pulling back you see it all Down here so laughable and small Hardly a quiver in the dirt". . . . . he is amazing, David Gray could be Dylan as a poet Love him
"Maybe that it would do me good If I believed there were a god Cut in the starry firmament But as it is that's just a lie And I'm here eating up the boredom On an island of cement Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it Open window and I'll steal it Baby like it's heaven sent" . . . . . He is a poet and sings like an angel, I love this song, David Gray is great!!!
@lordalfred1 This verse troubles me.... I stronglt believe in God and I love David's music. He believes that he would be better off he didn't believe in God that he would be better off in doing so. For what reason? I have been searching for this answer a long time. I guess the only way I will know is if I have the opportunity to ask him personally. I doubt I will....
the way he sings the last verse is just increadable ........just makes me crumble ....

Goes to show a bad workman can't blame it on his tools as he still sounds brilliant.

@raymond052367 : I don't think he means he no longer believes in God-look
at the first line again, he starts with "Maybe". And he ends the song with a chuckle,
he is using his artist's license here. Just as if if I were painting a picture and I
wanted to use green for the sky, that's my artist's license. Just enjoy the music
and don't try to find meaning in it. I think he is a great singer songwriter!!!!!!!!!!
