what`s cool about this song, is its meaning is exactly what you are showing in the pictures (as you probably know). Ìt`s just a simple song about him looking out over nature and the city at night, and thinking how it won`t always be like this. It`s transient etc. I`m glad it`s not about girls or about trying to catch a plane to meet his baby, etc.
Sorry Teacher....You're incredibly deluded if you think I'm the rude one...And how about being rude to NOBODY....You really need to pick a better hobby....I don't think patronizing suits you, but I'll make this really simple for you...You win...Now I'm off to do something that isn't a waste of time...word of advice, you should do the same...you'll prob get more sleep if you spend less time worrying about strangers gramm...sorry my bad 'Punctuation'
Ya know...a lot of people call artists like this 'dreary' and 'boring'.....well i say, at least their music 'means' something...Makes you 'feel' something...I'll take 'meaning' over bells...loops and whistles any day...Not that i don't like other music...I listen to all sorts, but my fav music is the kind that makes you 'stop' and 'think' and really 'listen' <33
@TimTeddySmith No sorry, the only 'tool' here is you...you're the one showing yourself up with your rude comments to someone you don't even know...but i guess it makes it easier for you doesn't it?...It's really simple, if you don't like it, don't look, or maybe I'll follow you around youtube being a grammar nazi.
@rochey1010 Darling I have no idea what you mean by "I guess it makes it easier" but alright. And that's kind of illogical, to say "you're the one showing yourself up with your rude comments to someone you don't even know" - surely it's actually better to be rude to someone you don't know than someone you do? But anyway, that aside, you're still wrong, because my point was an entirely valid one, you did sound like a pretentious douche and still do. Also, punctuation Nazi, not grammar. J'aime.
the poem by robert frost was one of J.F.Ks favoties it was read by his brother Bobby at the opening od the 1964 democratic conventon where he recied an applause which went for more than 20 minutes , as for the song , words dont do it justice , i would just say its beautiful .
i think it works. the contrast catches you off guard and takes you out your comfort zone. after 3:30 when it settles back down again it's quite a profound feeling to figure what you've just experienced. there's plenty other david gray songs which are wholly calm and hey, i'm not complaining, i'm used to that abrasive angsty music from listening to metal when i was younger.
Its ashame that there are so many people that just enjoy the pop music and pass by these great songs that touches the heart. These are the real songs that sends the right messages.
@PeterSpurway tranquility in a world disappearing? how about frustration due to the fact of the fact. also, there doesn't need to be bitter to have sweet. i may live in a fools world....but i'm not the only one.
David Gray...definatly one of the best artists in our time! Besides this awesome song, the images in this video are "quite something to behold"! Would like to get some copies somehow..........
i always love hearing songs by David Gray for the first time.. :) i'm actually saving some songs for later, so I can look forward to listening to them for the first time!
I love this song, thank you for making the video. It's beautiful and illustrates it nicely. Great editing, and I love the quote at the beginning! A lot of these images are Vancouver, aren't they?
Its a fantastic complement to a beautiful song, one of Gray's best, but as a sometime resident of Vancouver I only recognise the image at 0.52 from this city.
Hello im a student intrested in using this song for a video, first of all would you mind i wuld only use the music none of the pictures and second of all is this song available on itunes. Thanks
Yo, dude normally you'd need to contact the artist's label, but there never gonna actually call you back because your a student. Just use it, if you end up selling your film deal with the right then.
karlingen: There is a beauty in depression that isn't otherwise apparent. Read Robert Frost's "My November Guest." It's why I chose a quote by Frost at the beginning of the video.
beautiful video, i love the careful attention you've given to the sort of drifting association between lyrics and images that most people would never bother to think about.
too bad the world is really actually disapearing as the truth starts to load , go see suprememastertv and watch the sos video , the outcome of the world is partly in your hands , peace
This Video fit's this song beautifully! both are true works of art that sum up the true beauty out there! Keep up the good work and thanks for posting:-)
so amazing when you come across a soul that things,and appreciates the genius of this artist. Thank you for the detailed videos,you've made my day,perhaps my year. Seen him live in Dec 2007 but had no way to relay the experience,now I have,you rock. I play guitar for days on end transcended to an amazing place undescribable,especially to non-Dave Gray addicts..lol
to bad if human life ends up lasting a super long time one city will cover the entire earth! how will u contain plague?? how will u contain war?? oh well ill wait till then! This songs cool
The earth would never be one big city... where did you get that idea. The earth is mostly water and we do not have the natural resources or manpower to build that many houses...
