I've watched this video numerous times, because this is one of the two songs on the Draw the Line album that really hit me - the other being the eponymous track - and I've only just noticed; Annie's suit's the one David's wearing on the album cover. But I have to agree with what most of you say; the video doesn't fit. I always thought it was about realising how messed up things are when you're on your death bed in hospital, but that's just me...
@SuzLa1 : Thank you. Absolutely spot on. There's no point even attempting to expound any further. You've left room for others to merely express the same thing, only using different words.
"Saw it coming, but we all still bought it ... gonna' cover my eyes" simply amazes me and reminds me of our own intuitive moments in life where the mysteries of what seems to be the unknown ... is are already known ... but many just choose to cover their eyes despite what they see coming. What a fascinating piece of work by Annie and David!!! Thanks for having this out here!
Absolutely brilliant! One of those songs where you can't help but hold your breath, sit back and deliver a long, drawn out "wheeeeewwwww". On a deeper level, this something that should seep into the collective consciousness. It reminds me of that old folk poem about how we do nothing because "it" doesn't effect us, yet, when it's time for "them" to come to us there is no one left to help.
i always thought annie lennox sounded like a dude.. but after seeing this.. the difference in their voices pretty much seals it. david gray is a chick.
@rabbitspliff Because the song isn't about that, it's about the fact that we know our world needs more care, not profits... and the dollar bills only represent MONEY. What better currency than the worldwide-known American dollar bills to represent it? It makes it easier to pass on the message! got it?
@DahlMarkPhoto Hi, it is about the world and what it is about to come to. If we don't save the earth, physicaly and emotionally this song is saying that even though we knew it was coming, we didn't do anything about. That is why I came to this Earth from an evoled planet to help. I dream of cleaning the world. We all should clean the world. Recycle both physical garbage and emotional pain and that's how humans can start. Angel Blessings!
The song is very good but the video is wonderful today mmmmmm videos like these do not exist, do not want to exaggerate but I think that is one of the best videos I saw in the last 10 years.
Like this if you think David Gray looks like an older, better-looking Wayne Rooney. =P
Also, amazing song. Love everything of his, and Annie Lennox is ace! Though you can tell David's not used to music videos without an instrument in hand. :)
This has to be one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen. Musically we've established that it's fantastic, there's no question there. But the pure cinematography... if it wasn't such a waste of good music, I could watch this on mute all day. Beautiful, and one of the few times a video perfectly captures the essence of the song.
David should be in more movies, he looks great and sounds like a god. Love love the man, after 20 yrs he is the reason I have picked up the guitar again, its inspirational, Xfactor pop bands etc are the opposite contrived and tacky....just selling idolotry without substance.
First saw this on the Graham Norton show. Gave me goosebumps also. Not one for ballads but this kicks ass!!! I hope this duet is not a one off... Would love for them to come out with more songs. Their voices suit each other...
such an awesome song....it's good to see that in a world where music is now so instantaneous there are a great composers and performers still, there's hope for the world yet!!!
They should do an album together.......... Not very often will you find two oh so different so distinct voices compliment each other. Annie Lennox can make any song sound like a classic.... Heaven is missing an Angel!!!
@CounterfeitCash89 Want to talk about spelling do you empty head? Firstly its 'shut' not 'sjut'. Secondly its 'your' not you're. Also, if i'm being picky its actually 'faggot'. Silly silly little man.
