Criminally underrated singer and song this. With some of the absolute crap that hits hundreds of millions of views as soon as its released...the music industry is broken. Style over substance nowadays. This is actual talent.
This year's love had better last Heaven knows it's high time I've been waiting on my own too long And when ya hold me like you do It feels so right oh now I start to forget how my heart gets torn When that hurt gets thrown Feeling like you can't go on Turning circles and time again Cut like a knife oh now If ya love me got to know for sure 'Cause it takes something more this time Than sweet, sweet lies oh now Before I open up my arms and fall Losing all control Every dream inside my soul When ya kiss me on that midnight street Sweep me off my feet Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?" This year's love had better last This year's love had better last 'Cause who's to worry if our hearts get torn When that hurt gets thrown Don't ya know this life goes on? Won't ya kiss me on that midnight street? Sweep me off my feet Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?" This year's love had better last This year's love had better last This year's love had better last This year's love had better last This year's love had better last Woah woah woah I yeah This year's love had better last
David gray was banging on the doors of record companies. He self financed his debut album sell sell sell. But record executives through the album in the bin. He was independent record guy. But he wanted to break America but executives didn't seem to care. So his manager, who was one of his best friends said why don't you try Ireland and eventually David who was unknown absolutely unknown anywhere. Said I'll do it. In 1998 gray started to play small clubs in Ireland. Small crowds gathered and word of mouth spread about this English singer songwriter who couldn't get a break in his native UK. His manager told him about a brand new festival that was starting called oxygen. In 1998. And toured relentlessly all over Ireland. Sold out everywhere he went. White ladder came out and every home In Ireland had copy. Total sales in 250, 000 copies making it the most successful Irish album by British artists. Gray and his manager used the infant festival circuit at a spring board. His manager was being stonewalled by the major labels who wanted nothing to do with his artist. It was 2000. Grays manager rang him to say that he had a major piece of news, he got him a booking with Glastonbury and on the same day as David Bowie. Gray took his dad along, who was battling Cancer. David and his dad were going the pyramid stage, David was a bout to perform and very stressed and he is looking for him his dad was talking to David Bowie. David got a bit annoyed because time was ticking and Bowie and David grays dad were Havjng a lengthy chat. He eventually reminded his dad he had to go on. Gray manager approached David and off david gray Webb to perform for the first time at Glastonbury. David Bowie knocked everyone's socks off at Glastonbury. All the executives who stonewalled David gray and ignored him pulled thier heads out of thier asses after his Glastonbury performance. It was the biggest tv audience gray ever had and on the bbc. All went to grays head.
He once played Witness gig in Fairyhouse racecourse Ireland for my parents wanting to see him so they got snuck in by a friend of theirs and pretended to be undercover cops to get through the gates... It worked yet myself and all my mates actually paid for tickets haha... I didn't bump into them as I heard the story later that day 😂. classic , my parents don't even drink haha

People will still be listening to and loving this timeless classic as long as the earth and humanity exist.
Fond memories of the white ladder album, was a difficult time in my life, but this album will last my lifetime with me 👌
SonnyB I told you things would get better ❤️
One of the greatest albums ever ever .
Hope things are better for you now...stay strong x
SonnyB Ditto 👍
Hey SonnyB, good you are here sharing your journey, I agree a magical album that can soothe reflect and help.
Good luck and keep believing.😌🙂
49k views is an absolute crime. What a genius, beautiful
65k know lol

It just lacks auto tune for the masses.
201k now.

Criminally underrated singer and song this. With some of the absolute crap that hits hundreds of millions of views as soon as its released...the music industry is broken. Style over substance nowadays. This is actual talent.
❤ agree
Had to pull over from driving as David broke my heart with his deep sensitivity. Made me cry at the side of the road, and I'm not sure why.
As you say it's a deeply sensitive song. Has the same effect on me. Also Nightblindness from White Ladder turns me into a blubbering wreck.
❤️
Real musicians never get the credit they wholeheartedly deserve
Classic British album that has stood the test of time really well
That has hit the spot at a difficult time in my life
Man, his timing is fabulous.
See this people... Music without autotune. It's a rarity and takes skill.
20 years went by like the wind ... Thanks Dave.
It doesn't get much, if any, better than this
White ladder is quite possibly one of the best albums ever released.
This is one of the purest version of this song I think we have ever heard. That piano is unreal.
Just heard this today on radio 2. What a beautiful song, I'd forgotten all about it. My heart and soul is 'melting.'
BFF reeds xZq1w,, 😎🙏😩😎
Love. This. Song.
Straight to my heart. Love him.
This is one of those songs you play to test the piano out.... a true simple classic.
We are really blessed to have people like this :)
This song is so beautiful, Shivers and tears every time.
Absolutely stunning performance, thank you David.
Perfect..... songs we will play to our kids then they will eventually play to their kids.... just amazing ❤️
His voice is so good after all the years...
💙🎶🎙 utter genius. This track sang as amazingly, or better than when it was first released. What a musician!😍

This year's love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
I've been waiting on my own too long
And when ya hold me like you do
It feels so right oh now
I start to forget how my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on
Turning circles and time again
Cut like a knife oh now
If ya love me got to know for sure
'Cause it takes something more this time
Than sweet, sweet lies oh now
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
When ya kiss me on that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?"
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
'Cause who's to worry if our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't ya know this life goes on?
Won't ya kiss me on that midnight street?
Sweep me off my feet
Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?"
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
Woah woah woah I yeah
This year's love had better last
Simple perfection.
SOOOO beautiful & so raw. Always a favorite. What a wonderful feeling to love someone so much....to open your heart & lose all control. 💛
Definitely reaches the centre of the heart, we can all hope we find that one 🙏🤞❣️

One word brilliant
Tears!
Takes you to a moment and a person. Oh to be in 2000. Missed opportunities
sublime !
david gray should be up there with the greats talent for a change !
David Gray plays a singer in a movie called This Years Love, he does not sing this song in that film and I can never not think about that.
Adele and him would make a great collaboration
How about 2020/21 we should all love the world keep safe!

People who listen in 2023 and watched girl next door 👇

Aniu
Lame if umbrella academy directed you here!
Feel like he's phoned it in here
Still great but no emotional content
i remember this song from the girl next door 2004 movie
He once played Witness gig in Fairyhouse racecourse Ireland for my parents wanting to see him so they got snuck in by a friend of theirs and pretended to be undercover cops to get through the gates... It worked yet myself and all my mates actually paid for tickets haha...
