    David Gray was a huge influence on him!

  • better than elton and lennon put together...

  • @rihannarox11 hahaha

  • good video of davids on my site wow

  • The piano, the beat, the way he sings this song........simply put.....inspiring. I like the video too. Love the piano he is playing.

  • I had a really memorably great night out at a Howie Day show in Minneapolis last Friday with a girl who insisted I check this guy out; been listening to him ever since. Maybe she'll read this - you were right! :P

  • just gonna point it out here and now......if you look fast, he kind of looks like seananners :D

  • Absolutely love him!! He ranks with Elton John and John Lennon!

  • @thompson1055 whoa..  he is awesome, but lets not get crazy. elton maybe lennon.. come on

  • i lost track of david gray in the last couple of years.. but always thought he was brilliant.. just now listened to this song.. well about 6 times lol.. this guy is incredible.. absolutely brilliant and so underrated ... just wow..

  • life feels good when i listen to this guy , good on you david dont stop doing what you do so well

  • Love this song, amazing video, but where is the band?

  • David Gray invokes the spirit and soul of a warriors minstrel who could provide the fire, inciting the beating of drums for a tribal chieftan and his camp. Fugitive inspires me to square up my shoulders, hold my head up high and add a little strut to my step as I disappear into the fog while traversing the streets of my cool GRAY City of love, San Francisco. Thank you David Gray.

  • He just gets better and better. This fella is the best thing that we have produced in the UK for many, many a year. His albums just get better and beter as well!! Well done David Gray!!

  • He's "killing" me softly with his music, now i need to listen to it all the time! He's absolutely awesome in concert, his voice will make anyone cry, so many memories come up...

  • You are a great singer David

  • I loved the White Ladder album:) This isn't half bad, but that album will always be one of the best ever made in my opinion. I hope to see him live sometime. And for some reason, in my head he is black.

  • Just saw David in Boston and Las Vegas. Perfection. He only gets better and better. You can read his lyrics like fine poetry...the sound is just a bonus!

  • I bow at this man's talent, opened up at the Civic in Wolverhampton with Shine I just couldn't get over how good David and his band sounds, I went from stone faced and cold from the world winds that batter you to goo in an instant. love the Drummer too he is a real live wire that really drums like this is his best performance and you are the greatest audience,his vocal harmonies are supersonic. So grateful I am alive now to be able to listen live to this musical wonder of the world.

  • Life isn't always upbeat....thanks David, you are great. Keep on!

  • @MegaSurfSound Or "WINNING!" :)

  • Love love love this song, makes me feel so good. Brings me alive. Can't help but smile & sway to the rhythm:-)

  • Is he still touring with the awesome drummer Craig McClune?

  • @joelnichole According to Wikipedia, no:-(

  • David Gray you are simply awesome !!!…….In response to the devastation caused by recent floods, acclaimed singer-songwriters David Gray and Ray LaMontagne have pledged to donate 20% of all proceeds from their upcoming Nashville, TN concert to Habitat for Humanity

  • This is our generations version of Bob Dylan. Absolutely unbelievable how this guy just keeps producing top notch material, i have followed David for the past 20 years, yes people thats right hes been on the scene for that long just undiscovered until White Ladder.

    Dare i say he is perfect?

  • this song is great but I prefer katheelin

  • Does anyone have a clue what this song is about?

    MSG ME PLZ!

  • smoke some salvia and you'll get it ;-). anyone else here the teaser 'don't let the sun go down on me' progression? ;-) ;-)

  • it chattin up a girl

  • this song is so romantic*****+++

  • Great inspirational song.. rototomic, what are you on about?

  • my comment is about my experiences with youTube the past couple months. It's become the most frustrating, and disappointing experience I've had on-line.

    What is the problem? I suspect it's a matter of distrust with people really trying to hear a song, or watch a video they've found to be worth watching or worth hearing and making it impossible to enjoy it for the 3-4 minutes......i suppose the .99 at iTunes makes it a lot more enjoyable...

  • Kudos David; great job. One of my faves from last year.

    Forgive my old ears if I honestly thought when I first heard this that it was from Rufus Wainwright !

  • Comment removed

  • Incredible!!!

  • uauuuuuuuuu! very nice music!

  • Remarkable!! "if only for a second, i see a twinklin' in your eye.. Gotta try...." He's one of the best..

  • I wanted to see you David in Windsor...but I had a cold and no money. Please come back next time to Detroit. We love you here...it broke my heart not to see you tonight!! WHAAAAA!!!

  • amo a david gray!!!

  • Also going to the concert tonight, it is going to be awesome!!!!

  • Going tonight to see him at Windsor's Ceasers Colosseum. Can't wait.

  • braden252, so when are you going to release your next music video? or for that fact sell 10 million records?..... Hmmm didnt think so. The best you've got is bagging people with out of this world talent while sitting in your mothers basement. I envy you

  • BayAreaScot1...Well said, dude! I'm with you all the way. Hell, I wish I could play 4 notes on the piano...lol!

  • LOL

  • You still see the magic and joy he gets out of his music, and the people he plays it for. Old or new he sounds brilliant.

  • He looks like Robert Downey Jr. here.

  • It means --- don't waste your life away in this mundane world trying to make the most money. Enjoy it, find love and happiness as much as possible. Because whatever you have now, you can't take it with you when you die. Cherish life's simple pleasures while you can, every day. You'll be a much happier person and will make the people around you happy too!

  • can someone tell me what this song means?

  • I'm going to see him this Saturday. I can't wait!

  • fantastic song & video

  • Great Music! Awesome MV! Simply love the art!

  • me n my dad both agree he looks like a boxer

  • How can you be too into your own music? He's got more money than me, whatever. Good on him.

  • The "rocking his head back and forth" is him lost in his music, his art, his passion. You look at any musician, each one of them has a distinctive look and style when they perform.

    As the rest of us mediocre human beings shuffle paper in a cubicle from 9-5, these "stupid" people inspire and move all of us as they make a living at the same time.

    4 notes of the piano is all Gray needs. Hell, even 1 note of the piano would be enough for him.

    He is one hell of a talent.

  • @BayAreaScot1 i couldnt have sid it better myself

  • I couldn't agree more. :) there is nothing i could add,everything you said is exactly right,so well said :)

  • I never ever ever said he was "stupid" and i never said he wasn't talented. All I was trying to state in MY PERSONAL OPINION is that I found it kind of funny, okay? And you know what, thats your own fault if you end up in a stupid cubicle. I've got a life in front of me while you have nothing better to do than to complain how we are dumb and everyone is so much better than us. I love this song, i was just simply saying my opinion, so lay off please

  • I hear what you are saying, but he can never be "too into his music" No musician can..

  • My apologies to you then, jkyep13. The written word can be a tricky medium to comprehend, whether or not the writer is being sarcastic or serious. Sarcasm and humor tend to come through better in the spoken, verbal word.

    I was merely defending an artist who I love.

    Happy holidays too you!

  • @BayAreaScot1

    well fucking said.

    i rock my head back and forth like that sometimes when im lost with my music :)

  • I think the art work in the background is that blu guy.

  • david is a talented musician & very sexy, cant believe this song never done better! i first heard it in a shop!

    Play down the art thing!!!

  • this is a good song! Glad I had CBC radio 2 on the clock radio alarm this morning. They played it at 6am.

    Don't listen to this genre of music much.

    Exceptions can be made however.

    Helps me deal and think about my life that has passed and the deaths, trials and tribulations that have been.

    It helps put things in perspective.

    Anyway I've rambled enough.

    I really enjoy this song.

  • saw him at the o2 in dublin on the 19-12-09, what a show!!!! he opened with fugitive and the curtains fell down and there he was, ill be uploading the video so watch out for it !!!

  • This bloke has real genuine musical talent and that my friends is something we should cherish and support .

  • i want rove back

  • Ive heard this guys voice on KCRW (my local npr affiliate) so many times during their music blocks and Im so happy I finally figured out who it is. Great stuff.

  • real artist..................... respect

  • Man u just rule

  • 16-Dec-09 : Colston Hall Bristol - david Gray - Best concert I've ever seen (and I've seen quite a few. Supurb performer who doesn't take himself too seriously. Has an incredible voice and sings with such emotion. If you get the chance I recommend you go and see him

  • Dude, wish he was on this side of the pond. Things are pretty lame in New Jersey right about now. Love this dude as well.

  • I was at the colston Hall on the 16th Dec too and have to agree with you, He is a truely amazing artist he sounds so amazing live not many artists are that good but he beats most. i'm a big fan of David Gray

  • saw him last night.... was amazing! <3 I LOVE YOU DAVID GRAY! :))))

  • David Gray is one of few people who put actual art into a performance.
