David Gray - Babylon (UK Version)

[Woofster100]

I am from the UK but working in Canada.

The London scenes shown in the video makes me homesick but the song makes it real.

I feel alone looking at home from so far away, but the words make feel like the loneliest man in the world.

Thank you, 27Beardie, for the video.

[joebelfastkm75]

A very pretty and sweet song!

[Robin1702]

I love this

[Lewys73]

[TheAnandaXX]

I'm so gunna get out White Ladder tomorrow and sing at the top of my voice on the way to work it's been toooooo long since ive played this awesome album.....

[ILoveEnglishBlokes]

[erryan10]

thanks so much for posting this.....

[wba25]

great record that has stood the test of time

[chrs168]

Outstanding talent. Great song. Thanks for posting.

[falldownhard]

I so love this. Beautiful man, beautiful song, even 9 years after it came out. Superb, one of my 4 faves of this decade, I need to see this man perform live.

[Bricray]

David Gray is almost a throwback to a bygone era. A real 'no frills' performer who just lets his talent speak for itself, without preening or courting publicity.

I wish there were more like him.

[hallitt123]

That's so true x there is no other artist i know who has such huge talent and, yet, is so humble about it x

[islandmama77]

You're the world to me, Sail away, Caroline, This year's love...David Gray is fabulous :)

[TheRealDJCamm]

its a great track but i'm not sure whether i prefer this version or the 'other' version

5/5 all the same :D

[prini79]

luv it

[dublin58]

Great video.

Thanks for posting.

I'm in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

[Willforbes296532]

really? im in North Yorkshire, England. youre not special just cos youre from canada you know...

[dublin58]

I'm not special, just being friendly. If you don't have anything pleasant to say maybe you should go say it elsewhere.

Regards

[Willforbes296532]

how is telling us where youre from "friendly"? you know damn well youre just being big headed because youre from a better place than everyone else.

[Bricray]

It's not your problem that someone from such a beautiful part of the world (North Yorkshire) struggles to find a way to express pride in themselves and where they come from than by being disparaging towards others.

I wouldn't trouble yourself worrying about it.

[dublin58]

Hello Bricray,

A very insightful, and compassionate comment. I've never been to Yorkshire but I know my Wordsworth and Coleridge. They really convey the beauty of their surroundings through their poetry. Take care and thank you for the good advice.

Best regards,

Dublin

[DAVIDRCGRAY]

Good man, Cheers.

[relfexreaction]

great voice, strong yet androgyneous... unfortunately i find his other songs too boring. (with the exception of sail away.)

[SilentMoonGuideMe]

have you heard please forgive me and this years love, they're quite good too

[dublin58]

Is "Please Forgive Me" the same song that Brian Adams sings? That was a very popular tune over here in '93. It is a great song. I know Adams spends a lot of time in the UK so he's probably familiar with David Gray's work.

All the best,

Dublin

[90LilMonkey]

love it!

[Augie090]

1999 was the year.

[jaseywasey49]

Why did i think it was 2000. or is that just the year it became a hit.

[JimmyBobism]

yes. you're totally right, it was a hit in that year. It won Best Single in the Q Awards in 200, but was officially released the year before.

[Faebelhaft]

great song but its just played rarely in germany... :(

[MorganaValentine]

freakin love this song.

[kimba2318]

put it all ina bag and punch it

[27Beardie]

Can you not read? Its the "Rare UK Version", not "rare in the uk" because you can't buy it actually and its rare on youtube. all the other versions is the remade one. But it doesn't matter because your comment is being removed.

[corsair831]

hey mate, favourite version, i don't suppose you know of any place to purchase/download this version of the song ? ty much

[27Beardie]

no sorry not a clue i have been trying to do the same, best thing to do is find a site that converts youtube videos in mp3s simple google search for "youtube to mp3" would help you and use one of the site to convert my video :)

[corsair831]

thanks for the help mate, i will do :)

[finx2much]

bomb-mp3

search "babylon brixton"

it's a live version of this .. bettter & longer

[bexywexy123456789]

just has such an indepth meaning. and its in high quiality ...

the list goes on :D

well done mate and thanks :D x

[shazcad]

Superb !!

[Redvaliant]

without the UK nightlife this song just doesn't rule. the US vs is ok, but lacks the street level bitter/sweet coil of the Uk vs.

[Marco1671]

best version there is, my opinion

[lexplug]

superb!

[KingofClothFair]

Lovely video. Makes me miss London where I once dwelt.

I now live inside my own head

[lucious212]

Thank You So much for posting the UK version ! I've bin lookin for it EVERYWHERE! ^-^

[danevans9008]

I saw an extended version of this video on one of the music channels last week. Does anyone know where I can find it/can someone upload it? Cheers.

[beatmonkey06]

His head is sooooo funny, 1st class tune tho!! Us brits have pretty much the best artists the world has to offer

[baybeebunnii]

Much, much better!

xxx

[1990robins]

pure magic

[1990robins]

this is a better version then the album one

[maringal44]

thanks so much for posting. just so pure and beautiful.

[Larzon14]

Tune!

[kostekr2]

Rachel it's for u !!! listen many many more...... :) remember this moment !!!

[VirtualPork]

yeah this video actually shares the emotion of the song unlike the US version, why didnt they just use this video? Not only do i think it's better suited i also think it is far more interesting!

[evolve991]

because U.S. record company execs have a taste for fertilizer and brains to match. just check out FM radio these days!

[27Beardie]

No Problem :D

[jimmypaja2000]

This one is the best version of Babylon for sure!!!

[27Beardie]

Agreed :D

[theultimatekoopa2]

I prefer this version to the one that just has a guitar or something at the beginning.

[RusSEAL]

This sounds so amazing as a "sweetened" recording- though I appreciate the simple acoustical mix here in the US, I wished more UK mixes were shared. Glad to see someone dropped this into YouTube!

[27Beardie]

Thanks :D

[bethtorres1950]

BEAUTIFUL!!! I miss London.

[Heelf]

Lovely lovely lovely =D, you britsh people are so sweet ^^ love you all

[pleasentlamb]

[boozyjules]

[Danltn]

[27Beardie]
