I cried my eyes out the first time I heard this live in Miami ... it was the first time he presented it to the public. I will never forget the way the haunting sound of that guitar filled the room ... it was soul shaking. Love him ... brilliant song.
I cry every time i hear this song, it has so much meaning to me, it's not even funny. David has been there for me since I was 11 and i am now 19.. I'm so grateful for him and the music he's made ..it's gotten me through so much.
The chorus of this song is just so haunting....the first time I heard it tears came to my eyes....David Gray just has no idea of the kind of emotion his music inspires...his talent is limitless, and this album is a masterpiece...
I totaly dig this cut it moves me and makes me feel like i am a part of something more then just my world. It takes me into myself and makes me look at who i am.......
an amazing song , flows deep into places were i dont let many poeple visit. thanks for another breath of fresh air to keep me going in this unforgiving world
I'm heading to see David Gray, Friday, May 28th, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and can't wait. He is the best of the best. there is no better singer / songwriter out there. An interesting fact: "White Ladder" is the biggest selling album of all time in Ireland...home of U2....Hhhmmm.
Nemesis,.......... looked it up in the Dictionary cause I really wasn't sure,........... an agency of retribution and vengance,........... "life, sweet life itself",............ the older you get the more you realise just how true that is,............ God this song just goes round and round in my head,........... they don't get much better , or deeper than this,............. outstanding!!.
The line "i am your one true love who sleeps with someone else" chokes me every single time i hear it. It's the most powerful song lyric i've ever heard.
This song is like an addiction for me...I come back and play it over and over all day long...Right now there is 37,133 views on this song. I wonder how many are from me????
I Love, love this song,
heck, I love the man who sings it too!!!
Amazing lyrics, amazing voice, amazing David Gray!!!
@Janmemories ...oh, I have thought of many meanings to this song...drugs, love, but the ending, says it all..."life sweet life itself" Oh, .life and all of it's chapters...live and learn...and love, life, sweet life itself...
Saw him tonight in Indianapolis, IN and I must say I have seen some very good live acts (coldplay, BB King, etc) and David Gray is literally identical live that he is on record its truly incredible he was amazing.
How is David Gray relatively little known in the U.S.? I heard him first on satelite radio. One of the gifts my boyfriend and I gave eachother for Valentine's Day was David Gray CDs, White Ladder and Greatest hits. Niether one of us knew the other was doing this in advance. The only store that David Gray could be found in was Barnes and Noble. Gray has become one of my favorites. I would love to see him in concert.
Freedom was my favourite david gray song but this has just blown it away, this song is exactly me what a fantastic tune cant wait to see you in december david at leeds.... great stuff.
one of your most beautiful songs david. I think though people either love it or hate it. Haven't heard a "yeah is grand"..twas either described as great or shite...
But I think its definitely one of your best songs!
I just seen David Gray in Portland last night ~ this song was so amazing!!! He is so talented! What a great concert! Started at 8:00 & ended at 11:00.
I have to admit other than Babylon I haven't really ever listened to David Gray. I've listened to bits of this new CD. I bought 2 songs off "Draw the Line", and Nemesis is my favorite. This song blows me away in it's message.
AMAZING! AMAZING!! AMAZING!!! David Gray is absolutely fabulous, and I cannot wait until this album is released on the 22nd in the U.S. Until then, though, I can listen to this, so thank you so much for uploading. You rock!!
soul touching genious, (hope thats how u spell it).

So many of the lyrics in this song i feel many people can relate to:
'I'm the memory you can't get out your head......'
'I'm the sound of money washing down the drain......'
'I am the pack of lies that keeps you sane.......'
'I'm the thoughts your too ashamed to ever share....'
'I am the sudden and quite unexpected twist....'
'I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else......'
Could just be me but i think a lot of them make sense.
Amazing lyricist, singer, all round artist
