makes you sit back and think of all the people who move through your life at diffrent times like bus boys thru a restaurant. ...Allways there but never seen and noticed... until it is too late.
I just saw an ol' Psych episode with this song. It was a serious moment, and those don't happen too often in the show. They made sure not to mess it up by playing this lovely remake.
@TheOmnibot i very much disagree. this song is amazing, who are you to say he is copying someone else? i'm sure he wants his music to touch people, and it does.

Since so many have seen to attack David Gray's interpretation of the song, I'll weigh in. Kudos to Soft Cell for writing can excellent song, but their glitzy little techno-pop performance lacks any artistic merit. Sounds like some kids on Fisher-Price instruments, and the vocals could be supplanted by 50 artists from the 80's and sound exactly alike. It lacks any passion or originality.
@TheOmnibot There would be no Mr Tambourine Man without the Byrds and this song is pop crap without David Grey's genius interpretation. The Soft Cell version is casual and street slick ear dross, make up sliding down. The writers deserve their credit but the implementation is not their keen but the interpreters. And the large wave of passing emotion is captured here and not in glitzy insipid Euro speak.
The Soft Cell version of this song is one of my favourite all time tracks, with lots of memories. So why do I also like the David Gray version?
Simply because, as an amateur musician, it had never occurred to me that this song could be covered on the acoustic guitar, and having heard this version, I can add this to my repetoire, and enjoy playing this song myself.
I would far rather hear something like this - a completely new arrangement - than someone's note-for-note cover.
@Filklore David Grey is to this song as Vanilla Fudge is to "Keep Me Hanging On" - the essence of this song is lost in London pop crap and David makes it folk anthem to hearts wrenched in the world of birth and death. Soft Cell thanks but David makes it art.
Quite the David Gray bashing going on here. Usually, the lovers of the arts are so open to interpretation, yet so much venom from some of the musical 'experts'. All I have to say is five people with an imagination and a vision see a straight line differently.
@ Durgesuth if you are talking about Soft Cell I disagree-it is like eating mayonnaise with a spoon listening to them. Gray actually has texture and substance.
keep ur ex bird at arms lent, and wave good bye ,dat is if she is even good anuff,which most dont even deserv it,u know ho u are lady m,w not her real name her name is big hot lips ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa wes,g
this version totaly misses the original meaning, and messes it up so much it has no meaning. Honestly it shows that he has no idea od what the song was about.
Chris, it's hard but have moved on and seeing someone else, but not easy.....have my ticket to see David Gray July 9th in Kansas City......'it's not the music but the lyrics"
im the same as a few of you, this reminds me of a girl i met many years ago and it was a whirlwind romance, i loved her very much, but had to let her go as know that it wasnt going to last due to lies, but still think about her and what she's up to
this song reminds me of a girl that I met. I liked her and I let go of her. Now every time I see her I'm reminded that I could have had her in my life. now when we see each other all that remains between us are silent stares of a memory that is slowly fading awy.
This song brings back so many memorys! ..to when i was younger, and i spent all the summer days with my granddad. We did so much together, he was my bestfriend:( Then i was 11, he died, i was so hurt. I'm now 15, and still missing him so much! I love you now and forever and ever granddad!:'( xxxx
@Rachel64129 ARRHH HOPE U OK, WHAT U HAVE WROTE MADE ME CRY, LISTENING TO THIS SONG. IT DOES GET EASIER, THINK OF ALL THE LOVELY MEMORIES U HAVE WITH YOUR GRANDAD X
@berno125 Thankyou.. you would have thought in all this time since he's died, i would have stopped hurting so much, yet i still miss him so much. i suppose in life you always get what you want: i wished my granddad could still be with me <3<3
@Rachel64129 sorry to hear that, i split up with a girlfriend at the time this came out,altho its not on par with the the loss of your grandad it was still a painfull time,i hope you feel better,time is a healer, i now do a great DAVID GRAY on karaokee xxxxx
@Rachel64129 i lost my grandad when i was a little older than you !! but like you he was my best friend !! i know it still hurts you hes gone because i think of my grandad everyday and im 44 just be sure hes looking down on you and smilng !! and he will love you forever and you will meet again one day !! take care honey !!
Some of these comments are really annoying me. I am a Soft Cell fan- a huge fan. But I still love this. It is possible to like a cover of a song you love.
Dave Ball (synth-player in Soft Cell, and the man who wrote the music to Say Hello, Wave Goodbye) has said many times that both he and Marc adore this cover of their song, and it the song a new dimension. David gray knew this was a great song, and has done it justice. I thank him for reimagining a favourite of mine beautifully.
Saw him do this live in Pittsburgh in April of '01 with someone very special, and that show was part of the best spring and summer of my life... sadly, so much changed that September. 'Say Hello and Wave Goodbye' will always pull at my heart in bittersweet ways.
wow i haven't heard this song for over 5 years it brings back good memories when i had a great life and a way tidy burd.But alcohol has put time to that.Any young troops out there its no worth it,it me seem good at the time but as easy as it comes easy go etc etc
wow i haven't heard this song for over 5 years it brings back good memories when i had a great life and a way tidy burd.But alcohol has put time to that.
I've heard both versions I don't mean to insult anyone, we all have our own tastes & opinions & I'm gonna give you mine. This song is sooooo precious to me. It's done in a peaceful sad folk music kind of way. As a matter of fact, the first time I heard this song was on an episode of Without A Trace & I was so hooked that I've spent nearly 4 years trying to find out who was singing this. Yeah, I know, I'm slow, lol. Soft Cells version is ok too. But, yeah, I prefer this folky style.
This is a sacrilege of the spirit of the 80's! What the hell is doing this abominable guitar man singing this hymn of the 80's; Marc Almond should have been extremely drunk for leaving this man destroying his song this way. Only a question for all of you who like so much this tedious cover; what is Gray doing in the Pink Flamingo?
@frenchy99555 80s were the best shit, are you sure you dislike everything that happened in the 80s? Do you like this song? Then you must know that this song was a hymn of the new romantic from Soft Cell. In my opinion, the only shit is this awful cover;
@BlackSkyThunder if you think about it all the songs now days are remakes of the older songs all the way back to the 70's but he does have a nice voice
@kathybear5326 the voice, the voice, and what about the spirit? Marc Almond when he sang this song he put the whole of himself in it in a period (early 80's) I dislike David Gray's
intonation for this song; in reality it makes no sense. Of course, he can sing whatever he likes and I am happy if he likes this hymn of the 80's but the recognition & the spirit belong to Soft Cell & the new romantic movement!!!!!
I just saw an episode of Without a Trace and they played this song at the end. Never even heard it before till now but its such a fantasic song and fits right in with how im feeling. Absolutely love it! I found another talented artist with very similar music on here the same way and his name is chad doucette. If you like this you may like his music too. Once again, this song is great!!!
This is one of the rarest things in the music industry - a genuinely brilliant cover song. Takes talent to take a song and do it justice. 99% of the music industry should take note.
there isnt a single cut he's made that doesnt make me pay attention. He's amazing. Ive never been the groupie kind, but this comes very close to that, lol.
In the five years Ive known of him Ive never tired of listening.
my teacher in speech class is an amazing guitar player, and he played this and sung it to the class.. i love this song now. And gained new respect for my teacher haha
my wife and i started listening to this when we met 10 yrs ago and now we are seperating i am bringing it back,but it definatly has a diffrent meaning to me now.
@sedmano Very sorry to hear that friend...It reminds me of my husband from 10 yrs ago, how ironic!!!! It also has a different meaning to me!!!! Keep on keeping on......I've learned from that experience anyways.......Still single, hard for me to trust now!!!! We will try to love again n time!!!!
@sedmano I'm so sorry for the pain you feel in the letting go. But to listen to this and it's meaning is clear. You shared moments that fill your soul. Precious and beautiful and just know that love although it ends, it never dies and more beautiful than that, she prepared you to have an even more powerful love! <3 to you my dear:-)
& opinions. I don't consider it to be anything near as good as the original version by Soft Cell. I'm not saying it's bad though, far from it, just does not have the same sound or nostalgia attached to it, as the Marc Almond version. The sound of the syth in his version (Almond) is quite haunting with more than an element of emotion... amazing stuff!. The guitar in it's place fails to make it appealing in my way of thinking.
Strange how you can listen to a song for years and not realise just how incredible it is until it hits you at random out of nowhere and you finally get it. That's what happened to me today. I always thought this was a nice song but nothing amazing but now I just can't get over it. It just really says what's on my mind right now.
I found this cd in my room one day, dont know where it came from, but i found it about one month after my wife divorced me for my friend. I know what you mean.
makes you sit back and think of all the people who move through your life at diffrent times like bus boys thru a restaurant. ...Allways there but never seen and noticed... until it is too late.

This is one of the rarest things in the music industry - a genuinely brilliant cover song. Takes talent to take a song and do it justice. 99% of the music industry should take note.

there isnt a single cut he's made that doesnt make me pay attention. He's amazing. Ive never been the groupie kind, but this comes very close to that, lol.
In the five years Ive known of him Ive never tired of listening.

@sedmano I'm so sorry for the pain you feel in the letting go. But to listen to this and it's meaning is clear. You shared moments that fill your soul. Precious and beautiful and just know that love although it ends, it never dies and more beautiful than that, she prepared you to have an even more powerful love! <3 to you my dear:-)

WHY is he singing like Bob Dylan?

This version is ok according to individual tastes
& opinions. I don't consider it to be anything near as good as the original version by Soft Cell. I'm not saying it's bad though, far from it, just does not have the same sound or nostalgia attached to it, as the Marc Almond version. The sound of the syth in his version (Almond) is quite haunting with more than an element of emotion... amazing stuff!. The guitar in it's place fails to make it appealing in my way of thinking.

Strange how you can listen to a song for years and not realise just how incredible it is until it hits you at random out of nowhere and you finally get it. That's what happened to me today. I always thought this was a nice song but nothing amazing but now I just can't get over it. It just really says what's on my mind right now.

@stratmad - David Gray's music does that to me every time I play one of his discs. Funny how music written and sung from the heart works.
