Goodness me, have just viewed this video for the first time. Excellent!! Typical Friday night in Soho, complete with vomit, swearing and fighting. Who was the director?
Good God. This video is so wrong for this beautiful song. Instead of enjoying the song, i felt DEPRESSED watching the video... Whatever possessed him to allow his song to be put with this soul destroying crapola...
@Annaliese247@Jonno1809 said why the video works, "The perfect capturing of the way british life squashes people's soul and their aspirations. Sail away if you can!"
I'm a bit disappointed with this music video, he could have done something so much more beautfiul, yet equally painful, with such heart provoking lyrics like these :/ x
This song is probably in my top 10 favourite songs EVER, the words are beautiful and haunting. The video is a definitive account of how 'far' Britain has come. Call it nostalgia if you want, but I would leave 'Modern Britain' and Sail Away tomorrow if I could!
''This Years Love'' was everytime my favorite song... But after I heard this one am I changed my selection.... I love this song so much ♥ Is the best..
@michaelgdobie Well you yourslef are making a generalisation of what you can see... Most people i know got really good GCSE's and are now at UNI, including me. I can cook fantastic meals, ask all my m8s, we go out and have fun, but dont cause destruction like u see on the news. I can do Uni level statistics/maths and i dont feel im classified as spoilt, seeing as i bought everything i wanted in life off my own back...
@michaelgdobie Very true. Although the generalisation of 'younger people' ?? They are products of their environment and their parents up bringing. Plus they are the most intelligent yet, with more than ever going on to higher education. Love the song to!
@michaelgdobie Jesus christ stop classing us as 1 frikin group! It isnt the damn young generation, its the select few that make the news. Once again we never get noticed for all the good we do, only get criticised for the small numbers that do bad... God i hate people that write this kinda grouping shit, we arent all the same. I buy things i want MYSELF, i voulenteer for multiple marine charities, im in Uni, which i earned by working hard and i hate being grouped with people i also despise!
As time has gone by this has grown to be my favourite David Gray song. Have only just stumbled across the video - and it works a treat. The perfect capturing of the way british life squashes people's soul and their aspirations. Sail away if you can!
@Jonno1809 is it just the British way of life that squashes peoples soul or modern life in general? -this video seem to capture a lot of the pointlessness of trying to drown your sorrows with drink and not caring .Just a thought and I dont live in Britain any more :)
@Jonno1809 i think the videos a bit corny but yes your right i think its his best song by far in fact i was pretty disappointed by white ladder after seeing him live early on when he was just breaking at the shepards bush empire
@570793 no just a load of programmed sheeple tuned into celebrity culture, sport, work, debt, acceptance of rules,denied of freedom, force fed corporate pop music by inane radio stations and avoiding good tunes like this just because their programmed stereotype of a popstar is not fulfilled. there I feel better for getting that off my chest!!!!! Great song :-)

Products of their environment and their parents."how true"
I still cry when I watch this video not only because of the song but also "what I see today 's generalisation."
I sorry ..they are not the most inteligent yet. Certainly not in the UK anyway.!!
"Spoit by "too much of every-thing and even more"
Ask them to ad up a dart board score
Ask them to give you change ..without a cash machine.
Ask them to "boil an egg properly".
Mend a fuse..times table..mend a bicycle puncture.etc.

What has the younger generation GB come to.???
No consideration or respect for themselves or any living thing.!!
Too much of everything...and degredation will follow.!!
Money is the root of all evil.!!
Greed ...is the Cancer of the World.
Great song.!
Sail away with me honey....
