David Gray Babylon (version 2)

[netilaseri]

this song always use to make me happy at 6:00 pm after break from the work during the summer never will forget the moments ...great song

[chrisskm]

I'm not sure if the people who disliked this have a soul.

[heartsthatbleed87]

How could anyone dislike this? Incredible song.

[H1mself100]

friday night im going nowhere, story of my life :P

[mickm79]

only 125, 373 views to go for 1,000,000 views, why has it taken so long?????

[Bextor2dan]

Rminds me of my first hair cut.

[mcpaplus]

As a 54 year old man, this song makes me believe there is some corner in everyone's heart that holds onto all that teenage angst that haunts us when we are young. I like this song for no apparent reason as it isn't relevant to me in any obvious way.

[OPIE916]

David Gray proves that there is still hope for humanity...and the 'arts' is a good place to start. Have a nice day

[goonerlass]

The Love i give you woz never in doubt..........:) xx

[england1213]

I have a different version to this I just can't find on Youtube and I still think it edges this one out. It's pretty much this one, Version 2, but it doesn't have the crowd singing to it. Lovely song though.

[cupramac]

i feel like this was written about my life

[AzureMurakumo]

He could be a third brother on Frasier.

[updraft888]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

[mjohnsimmons]

Anyone know who the lovely lady is in the video?

[stevoJag]

@mjohnsimmons Actress in the video is Samantha Mathis.

[INTLaudrey]

@mjohnsimmons samantha mathis

[oddood]

for an international super hit, I wish he tuned that acoustic first... good song though

[cupramac]

admit to some of those, bad mistakes i've made..

[Nuno0614]

Awesome, Awesome,  Awesome, song.

[kingalfred849]

This song crosses over generations....I'm old enough to be his mother and I love the energy in this song and in Gray.

[barefoot0750]

obwohl der song schon älter ist - immer wenn ich ihn höre (viel zu selten!!!), bekomm ich gänsehaut und liebe diesen song immer wieder aufs neue. es gibt viel zu wenige solcher klasse songs, die einem aus dem herzen sprechen!!!!

[boogeymangdl3]

que buena cansion

[baffledoverit]

"Let go of your heart, let go of your head..." Brilliant gift. THX! :)

[NiseDen]

Love the song, but makes me realize that time is passing by too fast !!! Sad in some respect, Lessons learned, and always the questions of "IF ONLY".

[TrunkMonkey3000]

Babylon is the city that Lucifer is in control over in the Bible.

[Historybuff011]

@TrunkMonkey3000 It's also destined to be destroyed in Revelation. Over the course of history the term "Babylon" has played host to any city that was deemed to be of sin. Previous cities called Babylon have been Rome, Constantinople, Paris, London, Berlin, St. Petersburg, New York, DC, New Orleans just to name a few.

[Nyonben]

@Historybuff011 Awesome theory, if the Bible were anything but a fairy tale for grownups.

[lisa333ify]

Beautiful song! Freakin love it!

[susy0221]

great voice...

[daveyboy1423]

If you want it then come and get it. FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!

Couldnt have said it better myself....

[whybotheridontcare]

Thumbs up if your watching this because of America's Got Talent haha

[44marjojo]

@whybotheridontcare Av actually heard the song before.like 3 years ago but u are right, AGT, brought me back! Thank you Dani Shay

[meekslt5]

ONLY WISH YOU WERE HERE .....HOT TUB .......PTANG ONLY GUYS ! BAHAHAHAHAHAH !

[sartainja]

For Junebug, I will always remember you in my heart.

[cseychell]

E, wherever we'll be, i love you forever!

[pacoworld]

I love San Francisco.....

[phixxxer11]

For crying out loud

[MrAaammmccc]

it's impossible to feel down when you hear this

[sartainja]

@MrAaammmccc My thoughts exactly. Makes you want to drive fast.

[traveller112]

@MrAaammmccc I have always said that about this song, but second only to Solsbury Hill by P Gabriel.

[cwwiss1]

THE Greatest song ever..EVER..don't argue with me..don't give me your choice cus you're wrong..shut the f*** up it just is!..geddit

[falldownhard]

@cwwiss1 I'm about to agree with you - I don't know why but I never get tired of hearing this. The lyrics have no personal meaning to me, his voice isn't usually the type I like best...but it all comes together into a wonderful tune! Always puts me in such a serene mood. :)

[playyourbass100]

Does any one remember him doing a live version of this song on radio2 about 6 years ago at xmas the words went "hes hairy and grey ,he rides a sleigh ,santa claus,santa claus." he was laughing as he sung it .Id love a recording of that if any one can tell me where i could find it.

[playyourbass100]

You guys realy do talk some crap !

[jasonismyhomie]

@harveyderf Ah, yes, tis a delicate dance you must master betwist Gray & Blunt listening sessions. When I first plopped 'White Ladder' into my stereo, it was as if the heavens had parted & my bowels were free like a dandelion wisp in the wind! "Let go of your fart, let go of your arse" INDEED! However, there was no OFF button, hypothetically speaking. The shit came for days til I ended up in A&E due to massive dehydration. I phoned my Dr, & he overnighted me Blunt's classic anal retentive works!

[jasonismyhomie]

Wow, THANK YOU DAVID GRAY! I've had the most insufferable case of constipation I've ever had to endure in all my years. Nothing worked. Not laxatives, not anal suppositories, not special tea... I sought out a specialist, & he gifted me a copy of 'White Ladder' by this Mr. Gray fellow. Upon the opening moribund beats & guitar strums, I felt a rumbling in my bowls akin to Jackie Chan inciting a rumble in the Bronx! I shat for hours! The man should change his name to David Brown! Hallelujah!

[harveyderf]

@jasonismyhomie I think you and I have the same Dr! I had the same crippling constipation for much of my adult life until I was prescribed 'David Gray - White Ladder'. However with the prescription in my hand there was another hurdle. That was the hurdle of facing the total and utter embarrassment at asking for these aural mangina dribblings that make one shit profusely. I'm not sure what was worse the clerk knowing I was buying this crap or I was about to take the biggest shit of my life.

[jasonismyhomie]

@harveyderf Yes, that is quite a woeful conundrum you've found yourself trapped within! I think D. Gray must be gaining national recognition for his bowel moving prowess, as MY Dr understood the embarrassment a White Ladder purchase might lead to & procured the CD for me himself! PM me if you want his info. Also, I found my shit flowed like wine upon listening to this cacophonous record. I sought my specialist, & he handed me a copy of James Blunt's Back to Bedlam. My sphincter clammed right up!

[harveyderf]

@jasonismyhomie Please excuse me if this is TMI but I have to say 'White Ladder' literally made the shit fall out of me. My porcelain throne was subjected to a real splattering from my bowels courtesy of David Gray's mastery of the fabled 'brown noise' throughout 'White Ladder'. My butt hasn't stopped driveling liquid shit since listening to this last week so James Blunt's album will come in more than handy in drying my weeping brown eye. Thank you for the top tip, jasonismyhomie!

[mynaijagal]

this makes me so nostalgic, i used to luv this song but never ever saw d video. thanks for posting

[bobinader88]

I'm 15 years young and I a'm listening to this kind of music. I hate all the modern R&B and Rap music and I love this kind of muic. I can't get enough of it <3

[Bugenhagenification]

@bobinader88 Well, don't feel special, this is a very generic modern pop song. Just because something's modern and mainstream doesn't mean it can't be utter genius. It's just generally it isn't.

[feistyfied]

This song reminds me of so much. So many great memories in Ireland, so many fun times with good friends... cronaím thú, with all my heart!

[MaruTheGreat]

This song speaks to me so much, I've missed out on love so many times because I was afraid to tell someone how I felt. **SIGH**

[buckleysgrace]

Saw a cool cover of this done by The Filibuskers while checking youtube. I love this tune.

[Jakabones]

Arguably the best and also most underrated song of the last 15 years? I think yes.

[carlo88moe]

@Jakabones i hate when people use "arguably" as if the thing theyre gonna say is actually scientifically quantifiable or a scientific statement, nice touch with "past 15 yrs" what did you make a study?...its so daft....your comment is 'arguably' the stupidest in the past 15 yrs.....nice song tho, haha

[Jakabones]

@carlo88moe "I 'think' yes." Besides, the comments section if for subjective opinion. Try reading the entire comment before you spout off next time.

[classicJT304]

@Jakabones Good job. 

[samopdrift]

@Jakabones David Gray is, like Natalie Merchant, one of the most underrated artists. But then again, we cannot expect the dumb masses to savour a jewel like this, can we?

[sartainja]

@samopdrift I would like to see NM and David Gray do a song together.

[LFD254]

@sartainja or possibly David Nail-hos song Half Mile Hill is similar

[JoshRubinstein]

saw him in NY recently. he's awesome.He definitely deserves more attention in the U.S.

[honeydewbahamas]

Friday night I'm going nowhere

All the lights are changing green to red

Turning over TV stations

Situations running through my head

Well looking back through time

You know it's clear that I've been blind

I've been a fool

To ever open up my heart

To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule

[keysofanxiety]

@honeydewbahamas Thanks, I was having trouble figuring out the lyrics. Congratulations on a fantastic copy and paste job.

[boogeymangdl3]

buena cansion hasta dominada en los premios mtv

[lngislnd]

thiis is my best friends song and mine tooo....RIP Bobby

[gary1961]

[Nightshade4711]

Hey is that Samantha Mathis in the video?

[TomKaren1994]

@Nightshade4711 Yes. Samantha Mathis... and may I say "yowee". She's always been one of my favorites, ever since I saw her in The American President. Half my kingdom just to meet her.

[JUSTSAYAH1972]

[frenchexperience]

Ma2terch13f96 uses the black-yankee term "mutherfukkas" to denigrate the people with individual tastes in musik. Ha Ha Ha the yanks have him by the ballz and have infiltrated hiz mind oh my brotherz and he is short of expletives in the quintessentially English idiom dont you know. I like the track, always have but l'll naer be broobeatan aboot it!!

[mrROMANbaba]

g00d old times indeed gr8 song

[PerfumeandLace45]

"If you want it, come and get it...FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!!!!

[mapant]

Great song. David is a bit of a spastic bobblehead in this vid.

This version of the song makes a more pronounced use of the harmonic synth sound effect especially as the song ends. Very nice.

[LambAndTheDragon]

Message to Babylon (The church) Repent....Love your neighbor, love your enemy. When we do this, soon, there are no more enemies. Do it now...Lazarus!! Give the rich man a cold glass of water to cool his tongue!!

[Herra176]

I never tire of the song ...love it to death..

[clevelandtyler2]

[maiashakti]

God, I LOVE this song!

[KingGale]

Guys, 25 of our fellow people have Parkinson's, it's not funny.

[Fenner1976]

Yep indeed...a great feelgood song. One of the classics.

[toobieeee]

[joe19912]

timeless

[davedoubledeks]

This is one record i never get fed up with listening to.....................Brillia­nt Mr Gray !

[winplaceshow845]

always makes me feel great listenin to the dude....

[Irenellas]

im pretty sure they played this song in the movie serendipity :)

[Cortano2]

what an amazing song. why would someone send this to another person if they didn't mean it? what would their motivation be ... to send it twice?

[scotlandftw]

@Cortano2 What do you mean?

[cactibacti]

I like to think of it as he hoping for the one he loves to stop being fearful of taking a chance at love. "Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now." One can not wait forever..(lights changing from green to red) before they have no recourse than to move on (lights changing from red to green ((towards the end of the song))).

[StupidObamaNigger]

Hot chick!

[JACQUELINEGREENE]

@StupidObamaNigger 'Very Hot chick!'

[StupidObamaNigger]

@JACQUELINEGREENE So is that you?

[JACQUELINEGREENE]

@StupidObamaNigger No, unfortunately, I'm not That Hot!!

[StupidObamaNigger]

@JACQUELINEGREENE Oh Hush! Sure you are!

[JACQUELINEGREENE]

@StupidObamaNigger Oh Shucks! Now I'm Blushing!!

[Loghomeguy1212]

this tune's name needs to be changed to "bobble-on"

[Loghomeguy1212]

makes me want to get a david grey bobblehead doll

[inturn23]

ahhh Junior High. good times.

[MadameCholet1]

He's so lovely and I just can't get this out of my head.

[kowallski0041]

cool voice :)

[FreakyMatan]

This is the song that was used for the psychological torture of the prisoners in Abu Gharib.

[choppageworshipper]

This guys voice is like a punishment to me :-(

[FastFoodLifers1]

Always loved this song. And it's one of those Memory Association songs for me, one of my greatest friends and I shared a parting moment... one the seperated us for over a decade until I returned from my first Tour in Iraq... sitting in her car while this song played!

[powerpuffer420]

Where else is there to stay!!!

[LittleMissMerry]

He's like a bobble head doll!!

But really, incredible song and video!

[LittleMissMerry]

He's like a bobble head doll!!

But really, incredible song and video!

[magicsunshine611]

I love the voice - I love the song! Really great!

[ChantillyPipoca]

awesome song =D love it xD

sometimes he makes funny faces :P

[bigdsears]

1. to utter sounds or words imperfectly, indistinctly, or without meaning. 2. to talk idly, irrationally, excessively, or foolishly ... 3. A sweet ass David Grey song.

[bltheroine]

I love this !! Thanks for this post of this great song!

[KelleherNiamh]

love the video - but love the lyrics more - ive wanted to sing this song to a lover once... some day he'll appreciate it :)

[landofsuchbeauty]

This is the first vid I've stopped at tonight without some stupid Beiber reference.

Oops. Sorry.

[driveroffthedeck11]

you can truly put this on repeat and go all day. Best vocals truly and the words get yah every-time. Genius.

[TwistaG]

no matter how many times i hear this song i never get tired of it!

[Ma2terch13f96]

at the time i posted this message, 21 idiots had missed the like button and had instead pressed the dislike. MOTHERFUCKING IDIOTS. this is a great song and only an idiot could hate it.

[SpotLightPhotography]

@Ma2terch13f96 ... don't you hate that .... ;-)

[17865329]

@Ma2terch13f96 No accounting for taste. Has a little Paul Simon/Bob Dylan feel to it,

but doesn't really fit with either guy. Guess it has a David Gray feel to it. Good tune.

[MaruTheGreat]

@Ma2terch13f96 It's really not that serious, if they don't like the song, they don't like it. That's their decision, your comment has no validity or bearing on what other people do.

[blondericky]

@Ma2terch13f96

absolutely right. Fantastic song and superb singer

[MoonStingRay]

@Ma2terch13f96 Great song!

[AZUREE100]

@Ma2terch13f96 I LOVE IT--THNX---LOVE IT

[jad1025]

@Ma2terch13f96 Yeah I dont see how you can dislike this song. Ah reminds me of good ol times.

[hajzelvyjebany]

amanzing song :) remind me the good old memories 

[davcomcj]

@hajzelvyjebany Absolutely! Especially the "Chemicals rushing through my bloodstream" part! LOL! I love this song!
