Brilliant! AL and DG's voices compliment each other. AL's suit and hat....cool; slightly reminiscent of an image I have of David Bowie...might have been on the cover of a re-released version of John I'm only Dancing in 1979?
smile and cry.... and these things are happening at the same time. i dont know why. maybe they are both so true people and great artists and the song is so deeply wonderful. Merry Christmas to everyone!
In addition to what i previously posted, there is also a cage (reference to a prison) seen in glimpses in the video...
and annie throws the money in the air at the end, which is symbolic of throwing caution to the wind. "we all saw it coming" means we all knew the situation was going to go down like this...and we did it anyway.
I think it's about a relationship...hence the lyric lends itself to a duet.
A lot of people cannot figure out this video... Here is what I believe it's about;
It's a duet. The lyrics say they saw trouble coming, but went through with it anyway. In the video, David has a bag of money--they have robbed a bank. Annie's character decided to go along with it...she's dedicated to him, despite the consequence. That's why her hat matches HIS suit...but not hers. In the end, she supports him fully--for she has a dark suit on, like his, by the time she gets in the car. : )
it's easy.....it's about getting the wool pulled over our eyes by the goverment and other people 'in charge'......and how we lap up everything they tell us through the media. How we knew it wasn't true but we still bought it (WOMD?)
Love the collaboration, but need to listen to the song again a few times to get it?! Would love to see more of the two together good chemistry and good sound.
When david gray writes songs he speaks my heart, formulates my frustration and shed lights in the darkest of corners. Even those corners hidden behind pillars of fear.
two wondderfull voices get together!!!! I just love it!!!!! thanks a lot guys for shearing this great moment with us!!!!!!! love ya both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks David, it's great as usual, I love your voice so much, I would listen to you singing all the time!
Just one thing, I liked the end part and was wondering why it didn't come earlier, because it's so upbeat from the beginning that I think it would have been great to have a small different part in there somewhere... I was kind of waitinf for it... if I may...
What a great song and video. I like to so see more of David Gray and Annie Lennox together.

Not a fan of Annie Lennox, but this song is actually decent...mainly because of the pure genius of David Gray.

Love your stuff David, but this song I don't follow. Video has great images, production value, but a shallow plot. Try Kathleen next.
