  • we all deny the "seeing it coming" til its slapped in our face. great song though

  • Beautiful song! But that woman seriously needs to learn some more attractive movements.. :D

  • My new favorite song...what a great sound. Clearly, those who like it have taste, and those who don't, don't

  • Love them both!

  • Absolut schoen.

  • Wow...

    Very cool!!

  • die wilde fahrt geht weiter!

  • True masterpiece like this gets 288k views and a crap like Lady Gaga 421 million views? No, wonder music business' in stagnation.

  • first saw this on graham norton, and after a year i had to track it down, awesome song, lyrics and strong vocals

  • great duo x

  • fantastic song. Great to see Lenox back in the light. David Gray has to be one of the most underated talents out there these days IMO.

  • everyone search baldy and burke and listen to their songs, they're so good!

  • The song is about the paradox activities in our world. We the people in our industrialized world have blindly bought into the concept that money and consumption is the dream and will give us the nourishment and happiness we need. It's become evident that we are astray from the source of true happiness and yet we still run blindly, FULL STEAM AHEAD -- Despite the conflicts we face with our fellow creatures and the planet itself. We all saw it coming and we still bought it.

  • @garrettdirector dont you take your self a wee bit to serious now what a great song just for what it is ya nugget hha hha hha hha ejite

  • awesome :D

  • david gray is the best

  • Beautiful.......

  • In the 1980s, this great duet would have gone straight to the top 10. Where can I find more songs & artists like that ?

  • good only 271,963 view, he rocks because of that and of course his voice

  • haha, so cute. love it.

    

  • @FrankD152 You clearly haven't understood the song if you think that it's cute.

  • David the master, Annie the Artist...A great combination!

  • I would (Annie that is)

  • So beautiful God bless all artists who use their talents to better this world.

  • Zeit für einzigartige Schönheit? ****S****

  • beautiful song...

    annie lennox is definitely very theatrical. mastery of her body. she gets me moved.

  • fantastic song, brilliantly put together...406donnac glad you have found music again after your loss, music can be a massive help to help you live with the loss of a child, it helped me immensley when I lost my baby son.

  • my daughter once told me that she was haunted by music. and now i am. haven't listened to anything new since she died. david gray and annie lennox were two of her favorites. five years after her passing i am listening again. thanks for posting this. powerful, beautiful.

  • @406donnac I came here today circuitously. My daughter died in April, and I think I know what you mean, how you feel. Sme days I can't move at all, but music such as this helps me through. I am so sorry that your daughter died, and relieved that we -- you and I and everyone who knows what this means -- are not alone.

  • fantastic song, what do you think is the meaning of it? for me it is about our stupidity to destroy our world, to cause climate change.

  • i love this song the meaning and the power and every time i here it there voices together always give me goose bumps this is an amazing song i love all david grays songs but this is the top 2

  • wow amazing

    

  • Well, people this is it. In 2009 we saw it coming, now is here. Thank you Annie, thank you David for helping so many of us wakeing up.

  • Pure genius whoever put these two together. Genius! Great music.

  • This is the kind of music I can really appreciate. There's so much truth to the lyrics of this song. We can apply the meaning to so many different scenarios in our lives. For me, I can apply it to my immense appreciation and compassion for humankind and the anguish I feel when the innocent are betrayed or deceived. Excellent song .. spectacular video! Thanks for sharing!

  • first time ive heard this tune and wow so glad ive come across it

  • I LOVE this......I love the colliding energy!

  • THanks! Fantastic duet! I love this song!

  • Thanks!! Fantastic duet!! I love this song!!

  • I can't explain the love I have for this song. I think 7% of the views belong to me!!

  • I love the way they're so close to each other...and yet so far apart...

    Beautiful, beautiful song...

  • Just saw them on tv - WOW - this is GREAT!

  • this made my day :D

  • wow.. omg.. this is beautiful.. got sent this thank you..

  • What a song

  • What beautiful harmonics, damn, and the voices, this is the shite.

    David Gray is THE musician with the seal of modern times.

  • A PERFECT duet.

  • Beautiful

  • Wish to meet naughty women online benaughtyman.info

  • i love both of them it is such a heartfelt song i love it she has such a wonderful voice and he goes so well with him in harmony wow two thumbs way way up for this song

  • gr8 song, both very talented singers.

  • annie looks SO SO STYLISH, just so great :))

    btw she's imitating david's style of singing on this track, it seems

  • hey, hey, great .....

  • geiler song :-)

  • la elegancia y la sencillez auna-dos...

  • I have always loved them both on their own. I would have never thought to put them together, how awesome. The second I heard his voice follow hers I thought it was magic.

  • sorry, i can't put my finger on it but i it does not read true... it's just a lot of stage, video drama stuff ...

  • @artistlauralynch i'll bite that finger of yours off then

  • I like the fact she's sexy and talented yet not afraid to be ANNIE LENNOX. 

  • It was/is a great combination of talent, it's a pity that there was mix up during it's release i'm sure it would have charted well

  • Watching them perform together puts a permanent smile on my face.Thank you.

  • I bet they had fun making this vid

  • Oh she Will forever remain My God!

  • Absolutely brilliant! :)

  • sehr sehr schön. beautiful!!! thanx Boris

  • Best ever!

  • They are driving in an English car (right-side steering wheel) and throwing American money.

  • WOW. Outstanding.

  • Stellar!

  • climate change

  • Why didn't see it before??? Gorgeous!

  • did she have Quentin Crisp in mind? ... (or whoeever she chose her outfit with, unless of course it was her own choice) oh coincidences ;-) anyway high five for the collaboration ...

  • i LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!! what an amazind duet!!!!!!

  • I love the way their voices fit together and play off each other. Such a masterpiece of a song. Well done!

  • outstanding they should do more together

  • outstanding they should do mre together

  • Great song.. what does everyone think its about, I have a theory: the Banking Crisis/Global Recession. "we all saw it coming"= dodgy loans to sub-primelenders.. and rampant consumerism "still bought it". Does make sense or is it a load of crap?

  • @Iloveomardogs Hey, I don't wanna mess u up, but ... my interpretation is very very (very!) different to yours. :-)

    As interpretation always goes with situation:

    Clearly, this all deals with a relationship that went terribly wrong. And the worse, both saw it coming, that it'd end up in ... but due to love they bought all the risk, ran full steam ahead into the relationship, in the end with at least one of 'em cursing fate - with one more call to make to tell a certain, the most certain thing.

  • @Iloveomardogs But anyway, when watching the video, your interpretation is the better adapting one. :-)

  • Bonita canción y bonita combinación de voces!

  • Instantly forgettable this effort. 

  • anthem, love \m/

    kismet & desiderata

  • For Annie it was a return to the scene of the crime. The Sex Crime in fact, as the video was shot here back in 1984

  • 8 people missed the like button... :(

  • Both have such awesome and distinct voices....

  • Wow, I loved this song when I heard it!  What beautiful harmony they have together!

  • I Like It (Y)

  • This has to be one of the most challenging songs for both artists! They could, easily,

    just sing their "hits" till they fade away. To dare is to win! Can you imagine trying to pull this song off as an amateur singer? I love its awkward beauty and building tempo. So pro of them to throw it out there & risk ridicule from, well, fussy shits.

  • Annie L is simply hot, sexy, brilliant...

  • Love them both, but Annie always gives me goosebumps! She's such a queen in my eyes!

  • OMG!!! First time I´ve heard this song.. I´m blown away!

  • Annie Lennox is just. . . unbelievable for lack of a better word.

  • love you both <3

  • I love this.  This is more like DG's old stuff and they make a great duet couple.

  • Lovely! Fantastic duet!

  • Annie is just mesmerising, isn't she? :D

  • Awsome, the best Annie Lennox ever. David Gray is fabulous.

  • Annie, David, absolutely F#$%ing awesome!

  • david gray is a fuckin legend unique voice

  • I like how the song builds.

  • powerful.

  • the best song ever in my opinion

  • Annie's voice has aged beautifuly if you ask me.

  • Annie looks like such a pimp in that hat. Why is she so awesome?

  • great song, great artists....beautiful energy

  • i do like this song alot, but you have too admit her dancing is pretty funny, to be honest its really the only reason i watch the video. ha :) ..

  • love love love this!

  • Great song!!

  • wow dave fits annie voice like a glove and i will be looking for more of this macca

  • I absolutely love this video [= love the energy between them, they're fantastic together [=

  • their voices compliment each other wonderfully :)

  • Annie, there's no words that sum up how great you truly are

  • Annie reminds me of Jamie Lee Curtis. This song is lovely. I love it.

  • Amazing collaboration they compliment each other perfectly.

  • Great video, great song!, I love that hat.

  • Wow riveting truth and passion. We needed two great artists to come together and perform a ICONIC message. David you are to be commended to share that journey with Annie. KUDDOS!

  • this is amazing!

    ....but does she remind anyone else of sue sylvester

  • This is a fantastic pairing! I never ever heard this before, was this advertised at ALL in UK??

  • @ifeelyourfever Because neither Rihana or Miley Cyrus, or N-Dubz or any of those other non-artists who seem to appear in the charts from nowhere and dissappear just as quick. Both are artists who work to be where they are, and sadly the UK cares too much about "celebrities"

  • @callumjohn *neither are

  • A tr ue act of art.  I am humbled and inspired. Well done.

  • There is something about this video that draws me and makes me watch it over and over. Annie is absolutely gorgeous and there is SO MUCH PASSION here. This is such a strong and beautiful performance. Playful, strong, sexual, beautiful and meaningful. Everything music and performance should be.

  • Annie...do you still own "Borderline" ? Or "Black Blood"? The vocals on "Borderline" are incredible! You were so young...do a re-make! I understand if one wants to let the past drop, but you have so far rich a past...there are things that we have yet to hear...please allow.

    XX-Terry

  • Marvelous!!! Annie and David are phenomenal artists on their own and together are beyond words. This song has the power to move your heart. It did mine :)

  • This got released?? On december last year???!!

    I was completely unaware of this!

    why isnt this guy being played on music channels or the radio..

    hes freekin BRILLIANT

  • Love it! Their great together! Thanks for posting!

  • David Gray is such an AMAZING artist .

    Never ever seen a better live performer

    Absolute CLASS !!!

  • Who said this video is strange? What's so strange about it. Classic! Truthfully the video helped me like the song more. Though I love both artist I think they sing TOO LOUD a bit in this song, but with the video it works better. Great job!

  • Love this!! 2 greats.

  • he's a really good singer..strange video though..

  • their voices go really well together, great collaboration :)

  • WOW!

    This is one of the best videos I've ever seen!

    It's so simple, but that's all Real Artists need!

    Amazing!!!

  • Love these two together! I nearly blow my car speakers listening to this <3

  • I love them both!! I haven't heard this song in the states?!

  • Just an amazing song (:

  • I'm going to kill myself

  • What I love about this song is that while it seems obviously to be about the "demise of western society" because of a financial crisis, the lyrics are open enough to be applied to a relationship between two people. It's a very versatile song, and like a lot of his stuff could be interpreted many ways.

    That being said, He and Annie Lennox together is a match made in heaven. :)

  • What a lady....

  • what a goood super song!!!! i love it

  • Fantastic -- is it about a romantic relationship -- or the war in Iraq?

  • @SLFinSF It's about the demise of western society. The "machine" is breaking down. We just almost had a complete finanacial meltdown because of all the insane borrowing and spending. Yet we are not heeding the obvious warning signs. We continue to live our lives like there's no problem and prosperity will go on forever. We continue to run....."full steam ahead". Many of us know the end is coming but we're....."gonna cover my eyes".

  • @SLFinSF David Gray has said in an interview that it's about how we pay lip service to coming dangers like climate change but don't actually do anything to tackle the problems. Annie has said she thinks the half-assed responses to climate change are too late.

  • This song and video are fantastic!  What a wonderful duet partnership! Thanks, Annie and David

  • I love David Gray, always been half and half with Lennox. This has to be my favourite duet ever, fuck all the A* ballad duet shit, this is the mean talented stuff.

  • Hey Diva, I had a look at your channel... you are a bit of a boring fart, aren't you? :-(

  • Everytime I am impressed of the voice of miss Lennox. And this combination with David Gray makes me silent and... hooked.

    Thanks for making all these beautiful music, both of you.

    Great Album of David Gray

  • My dad was in her class at school.

    He died when I was 5 years old.

    Would've been cool to meet her haha.

  • david gray has an amazing voice!

    so does annie lennox. both great icons. :)

  • I bought this record last year. First time i heard this song it was kinda strange sound.

    I went on a vacation to Hawaii and we listen to that song by random. It is the best song on record " Draw the Line". Absolute fantastic it keeps me still remembering on that good vacation time always when i hear that song. It is soooo good!!!!

  • Annie Lennox still an ICON !

  • @nofret26 : truly...a diva in every positive sense of the word....amazing, gobsmacking, brilliant, awesome, astounding, flawless......stunning!

  • wow. 2 of my favotires

  • They're both freaking fantastic! :)

  • This made my day! Two of my favourite artists singing together!!

  • Absolutely everything she does is gorgeous!!!!!!!!

  • i sometimes think annie should have gone into acting as much as singing. sometimes she can be so expressive in her music videos :)

  • @AdamSwainston0 Completely agree. She would be great in movies.

  • @AdamSwainston0 EXACTLY. A theatrical beauty.

  • They kinda sing weird...

    But they are good singers. Love their voices. :3

  • i like it plus it's somewhat strange how similar their voices are...

  • go on then

  • I find that unlikely.
