DAVID FORD - SONG FOR THE ROAD (Guitar & Girl Crying Version

[gl4n]

Beautiful - I love the Songs for the Road album. Go To Hell is awesome. This performance is brilliant.

[JudahEvangelista]

He's like a British Damien Rice.

[littlestar3103]

flawless & beautiful......

[wookie2974]

Love David Ford's take of this moment in his book.

[RockerKevUK]

Fantastic. Even better for the fact no-one talking through it :)

[jaroti2]

lucky enough to see him live... fantastic

[mandan3456]

How laid did he get after this show

[CamtheMan926]

I'm not gay but I'm in fucking love with this dude. Hahaha great job man. Seriously.

[EugeniousNat]

WOW Feckin' WOW...

Sometims there are no words

[EugeniousNat]

@EugeniousNat

I meant sometimes :o)

[RawFitChris]

Genuine talent. Real emotions. Good music. Rare. What a gem. Makes me cringe one more cringe when I hear popular musicians....

[PrinceOF9Imagination]

I think I heared his voice in Toy story O.o

[Veee8]

@PrinceOF9Imagination

I think I heard you on an infomercial....

Thanks for your comments - did you like the tune?

[MQUIGZ]

unreal!!!!! one of the best. most natural voice i;ve heard

[itsjustmeheather]

Just discovered David Ford . . .

I am awestruck . . .

The sound

The Lyrics

The purity

I feel it . . .

[Cybrus07]

Loved this song for years.

What a performance.

[DVSdark]

David Ford has been one of my favs for a while, but this song is just perfect. Just listening to this song can make someone real void of emotion get choked up. I only pray I find a love like he sings about.

[quaich14]

just a star

check out and please say hi :)

[valkyrieVigil]

god..james blunt gets millions of view for retarded music and this guy who is a real musician, song writer and performer in every sense of those words...gets less thank 50k...there is something seriously wrong with music taste these days

[Veee8]

@valkyrieVigil

Bad taste is good for those who appreciate real talent - we all enjoy the drive through meal once in a while but finding a gem like David is best if we keep it to ourselves don't you think? Metaphorically speaking...

[fingal42]

@valkyrieVigil I'd be prepared to bet that this guy will still be playing and performing long after J Blunt is just a distant happy clappy crappy memory... A lot of good music ends up labelled as Not Commericial Enough.

[Qwerty1987Ytrewq]

@valkyrieVigil: well, you're kind of right ;). I just read "damien rice" when I first saw your comment instead of James Blunt. And honestly, I think Damien Rice is a far better musician than James Blunt too ;).

[zxcvbnmbgytghbnik]

i really cannot figure out how this has not got more views! i just happened to fall acoss this song myself,

all i can say is pure excellence

[Meatwad07]

Wow, I've actually crossed pads with this guy in the venues, he played before my band did at the Whiskey. Good to see hes doing great!!

[cocobear3813]

Rebecca, I love you.

Im sorry.

know that i think about you.

Im glad this was our song.

I miss you. f&a

[s2macdon]

Where was this broadcasted?

[fuseaction]

Looks like Carson Daly Show on NBC.

[myebabe62]

Here's a unique idea guys......shall I leave a comment about the actual tune? Tis amazin',every note and word perfectly perfect, A DJ at our radio station in Scotland introduced me to this guys music and I can't thank him enough!

Thx for postin' it x

[donuteyes]

i'll cross that bridge when i rub my nose in it.

[seanlutty]

I really like the use of his hat and shirt, really increases the brilliant tone of his guitar...

[jgduran33]

anyone know where to get good guitar tabs for this song??

[JoshuaLeeVideos]

razorbladekissses101, with a name like that he, or sadly she, must be a hardass. I wouldn't wanna cross paths with that 15 year old.

[razorbladekisses101]

im 25 princess

[dizzyvertigo13]

razorbladekisses101-

even worse. you conduct yourself as though you were 15, therefore boasting to be ten years older is a little pathetic.

I'm only 19, would never claim to be an "adult" and it's quite clear that I, almost a child, am more mature than you.

Grow up my dear, the opinions of children are rarely taken into consideration in the real world.

[razorbladekisses101]

My goal is not to be mature ballerina, its to make a point. So I could careless what you think about my character.

[StonewallVH5150]

@razorbladekisses101 - Unfortunately you don't seem to grasp the fact that a person has more success making a point by showing great character. For someone telling others to "Get a life" you sure stayed on this argument for a while..

[razorbladekisses101]

thats all perception..No one gives a shit anymore..

[cocobear3813]

I love u, forever. 143 my becca.

-Cj Toady

[yeahsuperstar]

he is got a bit of damien rice in his music

[loxten]

Pseudo Angst ridden bollocks

[razorbladekisses101]

sick of the wimpy, nasally, 'im sensitive', euro boy voices..but like the song.

[mickhalo]

sick of yanks thinkin everyone cares about their opinions

[razorbladekisses101]

aww baby did that hurt your feelings?..I dont give a shit if anyone cares for my opinion or not. Im gonna give it.

[mickhalo]

truth is if u dont like the way he sings or the fact hes english or whatever then why the fuck watch his videos? seems like ur just bein a typical yank and watchin stuff just to pick fault and think ur better then everyone else. fuckin lame

[razorbladekisses101]

I watched it because someone suggested it to me. Everyone nowadays is sounding alike & listening to the same thing over & over. Its quite annoying that someone would think that this is anything but ordinary. And wtf is a yank? Where are you from? Is that suppose to be an insult? Just because im sick of ppl becoming so typical and cliche (and men becoming so wimpy) doesnt mean that i think Im better than any1. Im just sick of musicians trying hard to sound profound and I have to say something.

[mickhalo]

a yank is an american, and most people these days actually listen to RnB and rap and shit

[razorbladekisses101]

Ah, well in that case I am a 'yank' and seeing that I am, I know well of what ppl listen to most these days. But I am not referring to those genres right now. Im referring to whatever this guy falls under..

[jabbott376]

hmm well its pretty obvious that neither of you are academics and have no actual research to back up your claims however, the pseudo american accent is the standard style of pop singing so its actually refreshing that for the last 5 years a more indigenous accent has overtaken the worn out style of popular singing. OH and theres no genre that "people listen to nowadays" as much as that sentence never made sense anyway, in mainstream western cultures the internets blown it wide open to all music.

[razorbladekisses101]

Your and idiot...Stop taking it so literally..We are obviously making (quick) blanket statements and if your not socially intelligent enough for that then shut the fuck up. And if you have enough time to analize our conversation that deeply, you need to get a life. Your not schooling anyone..Also I'm a graduate of UCBerkeley so take that stuck up comment and shove it up your ass.

[dizzyvertigo13]

Well first , I'm relatively certain you meant to use "you're" (multiple times), "an," and "analyze." But other than that, it seems your stint at UCBerkeley served you quite well.

Listen instead to his song "State of the Union." A person of your caliber should hold an appreciation for it.

Also, men expressing emotion is hardly weakness, though I don't suppose a person with the moniker "razorbladekisses101" would view emotion as anything other than that.

[razorbladekisses101]

I know men expressing emotion is not a weakness. I didnt like his voice in State of the union either. Sounds too cliche sensitive english boy who wheres tight pants and fedoras. I didnt major in english so i dont give a shit if my spelling or grammar is off. Im not so serious about this to look back over it. So i suggest you do the same and get a life . Actually it did serve me well. I have a great job and get paid a shit ton. My moniker came from my highschool bands name & im not a pussy boy.

[jabbott376]

haha socially intelligent enough to understand blanket statements? i would argue i was the stage above that because i was pointing out your blanket statements are inaccurate extremely. and i dont need to get a life content analysis is what i do, you arent the only one who can flash around a degree, and you extremely poor attitude suggests that you're making that up anyway. you really are a complete arse and the more you go on the more you prove it i'm afraid.

[razorbladekisses101]

Are u English? Cause that would explain a lot..

You obviously were not getting the point of the conversation. You start to ramble on about bullshit that has nothing to do with r points. U said that there is not music that people listen to nowadays. Do u not go out? Theres clearly a type of sound & a look that everyone hve been going after & thats what David represents to me. I do have a degree and I dont 'flash it around'. If you dont get y i mentioned it then that would make you an idiot.

[Ftballnumba69]

@razorbladekisses101 you spelled out the wrong kind of word, its wears not wheres. Dumbass. (i bet your gonna read this and swear your mouth off. faggoty little hard ass)

[razorbladekisses101]

Ok once more...I don't care.

[footskillz1]

haha wow man, you are ridiculous aren't you. what then would you consider original then? i mean have you heard anything else by this guy? name one person that sounds/does the same thing as him and maybe then you can argue your point

[JadizADD]

I saw this performance AGES ago and I immediately went and wrote this guys name down. A few years later I decided to pop his name in Youtube to see what I could find, and this exact performance came up. My only gripe is that I don't have sound at the moment. At least now I know what the song is called.

[tdal007]

true artist... who can sing from that place and control it.

[johnbarn01]

Hi David-Brilliant stuff-Nice to hear you mention Sheffield in amongst your other emotion plus! superb, lyrics.

Top Class.John Finn.

[turnersterror88]

Yeah cos he couldn't wait to leave! :P only kidding

[savethequiche]

bit cheesey...

[StillOdey9999]

as you are 'savethequiche' i would actually take this as a compliment. for what is a quiche, were it not for the cheese?

[savethequiche]

aaaah simply a pile of loosely connected vegetables...some ham if you're lucky

[StillOdey9999]

: )

[StillOdey9999]

amazing, he is.

[toddy1968]

There's no fakin greatness and this kid is GREAT.

[AcousticRevival]

i first saw this on last call with carson that i hardly ever watch i was channel surfing and came across this needless to say im definetly still a fan

[guncalledCELEBRITY]

My best friend and I just watched this video together and now she's crying.

[CarolDougls]

Lovely simple video of one of a very poignant song...

The lyrics and melody are superb and it's a future classic in my opinion.

In admiration,

Carol Douglas.

[BMFlo13]

beautiful song :]

[calymere06]

Dang!! Never heard of this guy... Lovely and heartwarming vocals and sound. Makes me feel ultra-patriotic about being in love. HA! I love it!!!

5 Stars, my friend!!!!

[katching2]

Merriam-Webster's definition of patriotosm is love for or devotion to one's country.

So you might want to think of a better word.

[calymere06]

Well you are prolly right.... but the arts don't reside on definitions in your websters dictionary... sometimes they don't make sense shen looking at a millioni dollar painting either.

ART IS ART.

This song.. is art to the heart, my friend.. at least it is to mel So please... just let me enjoy it.! -C

[tomreeeq9898]

David Ford is by far one of the most talented artists Ive ever heard. There is a great video of him on youtube where he is interviewed about when he got into the music industry his response is classic. He is the antithesis of the common corporate sellout.

[SunStudioSessions]

yes, he's fantastic - we really enjoyed having him in for a Sun Studio Session taping. DVD of that coming out in 2009, as well as PBS airings!

[calymere06]

Please post it !!! :) That would be awesome!  -Caly

[HandHDancers]

I saw him in concert [opening for ingrid michaelson] yesterday!

[josemorrisinio]

stunning song...not sure which i prefer, this or cheer up, but all his songs are superb.

[tooner2401]

David Ford is even better live,see him twice now and the talent he has,you have to watch "state of the union" live to really appretiate how good this bloke is.....surprised jo whiley hasnt played him.....not commercial enough maybes

[echeng20552]

he is by far the most under appreciated talent out there in the music industry. He's not flashy, but unlike alot of the "artists" out there now he has substance. I saw him live as well when he performed in New York.

State of the Union is a fantastic song.

[echeng20552]

I've heard the piano version a million times, but this is first time I've heard the acoustic version..and I must say...this version is just as fantastic as the piano one...everytime I listen to his music I get goosebumps...absolutely amazing performer...and for those who haven't heard any of his other songs...go listen to State of The Union...freakin fantastic..!!!!

[CarolDougls]

This is only the second song I've heard of yours David, and I'm absolutely hooked. You're one of the best writers/singers I've heard in years.

Much respect,

Carol.

[bigdrummerboy07]

David Fords music has a certain quality about it that can evoke emotion that humans didn't even know they had. Simply amazing, an actual musician. I'm sick of entertainers claiming to be musicians... Cheers to David Ford!

[thatrueshiz]

David Ford is the greatest unknown musician right now. I dont understand how this guy is not huge. So much more talented than these pop singers we have to put up with.

[davidbent]

I was at Latitude in 2006 on my stag do when I first heard this. He was, by far, the best performer that weekend. I used the last verse of this song as the end of my wedding speech: "now, I don't like using words like forever...". I finished in floods of tears, as did everyone else.

Right b*gger to track down the lyrics, though, not knowing what the song was called.

[wibblerdotcom]

This is always available of David's fan site if this gets taken down...

[wibblerdotcom]

This has always been available on David's unofficial fan site if this gets taken down again...

[random23856]

Thank you so much for adding this again, I tried to find it a couple of weeks ago to no avail.

Awesome version. Prefer this on guitar personally, it's amazing.

[cocobear3813]

this is the only version i can listen to...only because its...perfect. I saw him open for raine maida. it was...amazing. I love my girlfriend Rebecca.

[HaroldandBeth]

very nice...
