david gray - sail away

[allpossibleworlds]

This is an absolutely excellent video - the way the artist depicts this bleak existential loneliness while drifting from pub to pub where nearly everyone is engaged in meaningless, empty talk and actions. I love the end sequence, when the music has finished and he keeps whistling for a while... it really adds to the video's natural feel and the idea that he wasn't really performing for anyone, just singing to himself the whole time. I love this.

[SnJPhotography]

my boyfriend sang this song to me last week as we were walking down the street after a few pints...always have loved the song...now I love it more!!!

[euroman32589]

@SnJPhotography ...yip. men sing when their drunk...ask him to sing it sober....dunno, mabye it's me, but it's a little more romantic when jack daniels isn't your vocal coach....plus he's fucking your sister.

[gurl073]

rubbish quality

[TheCharleycat]

what is the name of that street he is in

[missfox999]

This video was filmed in my aunties pub, The Pride of Spitalfields, Hennege Street, off Brick Lane, East London.

[DementedWorkshop]

What do ya want, a sticky star :P

[missfox999]

Someone asked where it was filmed dickbrain!

[MrBigboyk]

this was my first dance at my wedding!!

only lasted 12 months!!!lol

still love the song tho!!!

[TurningTides]

i feel ur PAINz

[relfexreaction]

ok this video explains why he has a huge following in ireland....

[biggunsno1]

the video was made in england not ireland

[samopdrift]

...because the Irish recognize good music, even when they're pissed as farts ;-)

[relfexreaction]

not sexy though, NOT SEXY!

[rojomcgrath]

Your a knob head

[feathon]

viva London!awesome song reminds me my good years in London`s pubs

[jard272]

he is incredible x

[SeanSkynyrd1]

[jakgal96]

[k5101]

this song reminds me of the bad days wich r gone but omg what a fukin epic singer 5*****

[bixby2000]

Cool video...

[LeonJC123]

is dave gray a big fan of the aussies?

[funceeka]

I'd love to rid the streets of our once great country of this scum. Great song though.

[robert16902008]

you have to realise its not just the uk ppl that drink!

think about all the going on in different countries they do a lot worse than the uk tourists drinking!

the uk is a safe democratic country, u cant say that about a lot of other countries, where ppl are blowing themselves up or worshipping a dictator! drink may give us a bad name but god damn it not as bad as others do

[TheDalziel]

some very anal people on this thread who need to get a life,as an avid traveller I take ppl as I find em,the aussies are ok as long as they keep their mouths shut lol jk! banter! come on the english spank the aussies tomorrow in the final ashes test,then go and have a beer on monday after its over! thats the way it should be,id rather have an aussie anyway than a yank!

[yeovil50]

Totally agree with you mate, the Aussies and the Brits have a healthy competitive relationship. Great country and great people.

[archangel1100]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz alot of my friends who love australia say that when they went it was pretty much the same thing happen every friday and sat night but with less people you have to remember that london city holds half the population of aus so you can't really compare from true londoner

[mbastudent1970]

Jennifer...in time this will be us. We will sail away and will find new shores to view, new mountains to climb, new rivers to cross. In all this... I cannot imagine there is no one else I want to do this with. I love you.

[ligett87]

This is so much like my time in australia.. never been to UK though..

But what is the guy saying in the background -

I have made a choice my son, I'm just gonna ..... what? punch?

[PaulTheBoatMan]

I fell in love with a girl who helped david out at an airport back in the day

[thekinster1867]

Great song, great video. Filmed in pissed vision.

[nikkimohan07]

i love this song!!!!!!

[in1san1ity]

This song is awesome! Nice Video too

[MrTurkey91]

this song is brilliant.. Love it..

[youandyamum]

Ahhh... To be blissfully lost in song amongst pissed pommy gits.

[susi19859]

this song remebers me of my time in australia now 3 years ago.

we were sitting on fraser island at the beach with a bonfire and a guy was playing it with his guitarre...

amazing....

[ledari]

gay shit

[Luis2900R]

soooo underrated artist.

[robertosan1976]

Not so sure if he is underrated though, he is quite popular, still, if he was, his fans are pretty loyal

keep it up David

[TheSkye2000]

This was my wedding song it was the best song of a long long list....

[mwalley0258]

This is my Dad's song and cries himself to sleep after my mom died 2 ys. ago. Can you picture a life with someone of 30 yrs. (married in your early 20's), trying to find another person... How Aweful@\! Think f this the next time you listen to the song and you can feel it. :(

[clfl02]

i feel it:( thats so sad..i hope hes doin well..:-) x

[bigweezey]

I really can't get into this song

[Seonal]

wow this so reminds me of the 4 years i lived in england when i was in the airforce. i remember those saturday nights, with everyone crowding the streets,,,, drunks and lads and girls dressed to kill

[mrboomer1]

[MrBluesforyou]

Very Best.Thank's for uploading

[dayley85]

1 word,quality,fucking quality.

[Amfetamine09]

Style mate, Style

[kriscowley]

i agree, his vids dont compare to his music, classic

[05027802]

Never seen a video that fitting and real in my life. Incredible, just incedible.

[Chapps88]

Love the songs but some of the videos really don't do them justice.

[Myrtle791]

Vile. Prefer Bob Seger's "Main Street."

[tivodvoti8]

Another awesome David Gray song--and my favorite video! It's so funny, love the background conversations ("I'm not contageous anymore"), drunk guys trying to smooze women. Yeah, you want to sail away with David and get the hell out of this dive of a life.

[howdyfeller]

looks like a bunch of drunks singing the same chorus over and over

[bownessplace]

great song! which is the one where a dog carries his head in the video????

[EddieVedder13]

surprise treasure great vid

[flinty78]

Brilliant song from 'ol wobbly head!'

[Jonno1809]

Wobbly head! I like it! What a great / raw video. Powerful take on a fine song.

[gailliec]

I love this song, class.

[cboonyam]

He is going true some bad time.

and he drinking to forget his problems or he is trying to find some explanation.

And in the meantime, he is desperate whants to be whit his girlfrend and sail away.

Just sail away whit his girlfrend from the shithole and the problems.

And what wil be wil be.

[Husky701234]

great song greets from Amsterdam

[CraigGBR]

naa all the pissed up ppl spoiled it 4 me innit, except 4 that black girl in the car only decent bit (other than gray) CHANCE '' whistle...........

[Mike209000]

know what you mean mate- it's kind of a weird video for this song. I like it and all, but it's not what you'd expect for a song like this.

[eimsnic]

its all so eerily fimiliar!!! apart from the horse

[hunds0n]

very very good song =)

[yahhhtrickyah]

really good song but i dont really understand what its about. i also dont get the video someone please help!

[wogwogs]

means englands a shit hole and he wants to get away with his babe to more freindly (and less pukey) climbs

[yahhhtrickyah]

thanks

[tripotripov]

Great song! Cheers from Bulgaria!

[gaspingisfun]

probably the best song ever

[kaylee51598]

mmm I fell in love with this song the minute I heard it!

[zupercat]

i love Adina!

[rebeccawebb1]

ha ha ha u dickheads! Miike u must have thought tht was well weird lol

[plekito]

i like this song!!!

[birdwordturd]

Iceland is so very like britain.. drinking streets, It's just so like youknó? just.. I dont know but I always somehow connect to britain in myh country, It's just the same, exactly the same...... America is like a dream world I cant' relate to, britain is so human and real somehow somehow don't know don't know

[miike12345]

I went to Iceland and I assure you its not like England! Having a snow mobile pulling up next to me at a petrol station was a very surreal experience!

[birdwordturd]

yeah? then fuck england, I just wanna get drunk in my snowmobile then

[kaz287]

haha good for you

[ant65rog]

who saved his seat for him while he went walkies??? ;-)

[kaninean]

alejandro fuentes version is better, you can barely hear what he says because of the video...

[thomwech]

A. Fuentes version is NOT better, it is awful.

David Gray's voice is better, much much better. Fuentes is at best average, and I hate 'pop idol' loosers making crap versions of grat music.

[remycherry21]

your right I don't understand the religious comments either, but he was the best concert I have ever been to, especially since I saw him at Red Rocks in Colorado. I fell in love.

[Stevepayne1994]

5/5, Great Song... (Btw, wtf have any of these Comments got 2 do with the Video???)

[tightfisttung]

I wish people would keep religious nonsense off Youtube!

[smithylvs]

video doesnt doesn't do the song justice/ typical weekend on britains's streets though ha ha.

[skahmamny]

hey That's SATANS MUSIC 2 GOOD..

[mazon111]

Nice song.

[mastae]

fuck everyone that gave these 2 last comments thumbs down.

everyone hates on christians these days for speaking their mind.

ffs...

[olibader]

christians ? where? never seen one. not tooth by tooth eye bye eye, its ,get a slap on one cheek delay the other one. no one does that these days. jesus was many thousand years too early to get REALLY heared. of course i incluede myself

[cmarsay1]

i see wher youre coming from mr maturemaximus but i think sometimes you can have a hell of a good time in nightclubs too! i think you just have to pick and choose your nights rather than going out every weekend! when i first turned 18 i was out every weekend without fail but after a while you learn to be more sensible! :D just my opinion though

[mrmaturemaximus]

this song reminds me of a time i was out in a nightclub, and i just wanted to go home. i remember closing my eyes a thinking there isnt much to life really,9-5 job and then when the wkend comes all the fools come out from under there rock.....

[niernlad]

Thats so true but thats life for most people so wat can ye do?

[Danielcunningham]

yup been in the same situation myself

seemed like ive just been living for the weekend.. then it starts all over again.

[davidgbarron]

I love the disillusion of this video and the wish of being somewhere quieter and somewhere else.

[simpsons618]

what a odd video. This man can really sing! lets give him a better stage.

[cgabbard12345]

i like the background cuz he's trying to say lets get out of a place like this

[budap001]

What a load of rubbish. Great song, why ruin it by recording other things over the top. I kept waiting for the other noises to stop so I could her the song properly.

[parosser]

cock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[djkman88]

this is a great song i can relate to it so much. David gray is pretty under rated in my mind. but i love hime

[phildirt3]

the back ground noice is annoying

[jpmmul]

class

[jimmyjones1983]

3yr old post and not even a million views....thats a shame.

[Timalady]

This is just too good.

[shermanandlula]

crikey , nobody believes me , ffs !

[JakeWaldenMusic]

For what it's worth, as I sit in my childhood home, inventing my own new works of music and finding the clarity of vision and voice I am seeking, I find myself coming back to each and every album, time and again...and somehow, it reminds me of myself....forever thankful, Jake Walden

[leonisinthehouse69]

beautiful words bruva i no how u feel on this one :)

[leonisinthehouse69]

every david gray song i hear is a reflection of some point in my life. i cant believe that he doesnt get more airtime here in the states. one of the greatest songwriters to ever put a pen to paper. very dylanesq.

[DanteThaDevil]

[mehmetgulerman]
