I discovered David Gray after the lose of my beautiful young son almost 8 years ago. Someone sent me this song. I proceeded to purchase all of his CD's. He is truly a very gifted person. Thanks, David Gray for helping me thru such a horrible time in my life. Even though I listened to his music and cried my heart out, it surely purged some of my grief. No drug can compare to just letting the soul wrenching anguish loose from yourself. Believe me, I tried.
My younger brother died recently and this was his favourite song, which we played at his funeral... I still tear up daily to this song and will forever
Wrote the hole album after the death of his father, very poignant, I lost my bro in an accident and this record reminds of him..still reduces me to moments of sadness.
My brothers and sisters who have lost loved ones xxxxxxxxx I lost my wife to cancer aged 49 in April 2020 xx we chose beautiful songs for her funeral x one regret, I didn’t choose this one , Andrea x see you in the other side , I miss you xxxxxxxxx
I’ve lost my brother and daughter. My brother was an army guy who died fighting for his country. My daughter a little soul fighting for her infant life - both died trying. Music like this makes me cry but it helps heal the pain.
I know iys hard man but keep ur head/chin up they are watching over youn& willing u on to try & get on with ur life the best you can. I'm sure they would want u to stay positive & keep going & cherish smile & remember yhe good times you's had together. Real happy memories don't fade brother keep ur head up for them. I know it can be easier said than done though gid blasé you my friend.
Amazing lyrics.. "I know it would be outrageous To come on all courageous And offer you my hand To pull you up on to dry land When all I got is sinking sand The trick ain't worth the time it buys I'm sick of hearing my own lies And love's a raven when it flies."
this was the first cut of his i ever heard, and ive never been disappointed with him if i had one person to listen to for the rest of my life, desert island or not, it would be David Gray's music...
Song takes on another life when played live. Easily one of my favorites. For the full deep effect of this beautiful song, one must not only listen, one must FEEL it.
Saw him in Nashville 4-11-10, this was the best song of the night. I didn't realize how powerful his voice really is! Anytime he ventures down south I'll be in the crowd!
God how I love this song and this man!! I finally got to see him in concert last week... been waiting a damn long time. Boy was it worth the price and the drive... he sang so many wonderful things and did a really long encore. Praise God for David Gray!
When I frist heard this song i thought it was about people dying it is about for me getting your life together taking the wolves at bay and learning how to take care of your soul inside and out i still cry when i hear this song its about helping yourself to get to the TRUE side of yourself Thank ya for your time ✌️❤️
So many people are gone and loss is one of the hardest things. I have spent decades grieving for people I love who are not here any longer and whether it is a death in the family or of a close friend or the loss of a partner I truly loved, it makes very little difference. This song brings me to tears and so does Shine and a few others of David's songs. I know he understands because I can feel it in his voice and read it in his lyrics. Some people never recover from this. I am still trying but it is so hard and these songs are like therapy. Loss is forever and that is why it is so hard sometimes especially when you truly love the person as much as your inner soul or being will allow. I will miss these people forever and it never goes away. So ya this beautiful song makes me cry because I know he knows...
5:15 onwards, fucking brilliant!...this man is a genius and his music is immence!...Where does he get all his influences to write such amazing and soulful lyrics!... Love David Gray, keep er lit man! :D
I'd love to meet all my lost loved ones on the other side of the moon especially my mom and dad, John Lennon, George Harrison, Syd Barrett, Rick Wright and all who made living on this earth gentler !
@CarmelFa Went to see him for the first time a few weeks ago in an intimate setting in Indianapolis. One of the most amazing live vocalist I've ever seen. One of those concerts you don't want to end.
lcj1219, my mother died over ten years ago, and I still miss her. This is a beautiful song that makes me ache yet gives me strength at the same time. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family, and hard as it is, life goes on and so must we. God bless :)
Wow wow wow. I'm a (very happy) 50 year old man and tears wiggle down my eyes. One of the ultimate songs. Such passion such beauty. Great to see David waking from his trance at the end. The power of humanity. Awesome, my compliments, Mr. Gray, if you ever read your own reviews. Please tell me when you'll be in Brussels or Amsterdam and we'll come watch your show for sure. J-Met
If i die now it matters not. No manner of life's loss will fulfill the loss I feel now. Stricken by the abyss of which I find myself awaiting to fall into the emptiness of a future of nothingness. Miss you, see you , still miss you, never see you, again and again. Not far away but too far to feel you, to tasted the hint of your breath of which another one tastes, the gentle caress of your presence, your hair, your you.................YOU. Miss YOU.
Song is so beautiful because to me he's crying out to the soulmate that he never had the chance to meet on this side of life. So as I find myself hoping to meet u on the other side my love.
Truly truly beautiful Mr. Gray and company. I will meet you all on the other side and we will dance in this magnificent light of truth. MY SPIRIT YOU ARE OMNIPOTENT. YOUR NAME IS HOLY.
Another mirage folds into the haze of time recalled And now the floodgates cannot hold All my sorrow, all my rage A tear that falls on every page Yep, he's been there.
My all time favorite, such a deep plea, for unanswered guilt, for unanswered shame, and life's unforgiving hurt than we humans only suffer oh so well! Love this song! What's your story?
Phoenix........Love will kill us all." He said sadly. "First it makes us lie furiously so we can be what me must in order to appear deserving. Then, it tears us apart with raw truth. Whether we are man, exile or angel - It doesn't matter. For us all, the nature of truth is unforgiving.” ― Jessica Shirvington, Emblaze
The thing about this song l was drving back home after dropping my wife off at her folks home l put on the car radio and this was the first tune that was playing however the strange thing when l got home my wife called me on the telephone to tell that her father just had heart attack and died
Not only a Karma, Spiritual side attached to myself,,,,,but sometimes a naughty side too!!! Can't help myself ;) Hope all's well with yourself and yours x
In the performance he did at Abbey Rd. that was like this, I was fairly certain he was saying "If I lose my head" but in this version it does seem like he's saying something else. Maybe "If I worry my head" in that famous David Gray style, but who knows.

❤ to you and your son
Me and my mum saw him live last week. It was amazing and I hope you are ok. God knows what you went through x
I hope you are doing ok. I agree with you about David and his music....he has helped many of us through horrible times with his music
I feel for you dude❤️
Music will heal the soul
My younger brother died recently and this was his favourite song, which we played at his funeral... I still tear up daily to this song and will forever
My friend who had cancer asked me to play this at his funeral.
I want to cry every time I hear this songs since then
If this doesn’t give you major goosebumps... you’re dead inside
Definitely will request this song for my funeral.
I hope there is another side.
Wrote the hole album after the death of his father, very poignant, I lost my bro in an accident and this record reminds of him..still reduces me to moments of sadness.
sorry to hear of your loss bro, reminds me of my little brother too. Many blessings to you my friend.....

One of the most powerful and emotional performances ever recorded.
Amazing lyrics..
"I know it would be outrageous
To come on all courageous
And offer you my hand
To pull you up on to dry land
When all I got is sinking sand
The trick ain't worth the time it buys
I'm sick of hearing my own lies
And love's a raven when it flies."
Joe August amazing lyrics mate unfortunately describes my situation exactly :/
That verse gets me too everytime, very powerful
POWERFUL LYRICS! 💙
this was the first cut of his i ever heard, and ive never been disappointed with him
if i had one person to listen to for the rest of my life, desert island or not, it would be David Gray's music...
There is another side of addictions some people are struggling to get out it is Hell to get there,but Please get helpthere will be a better side
Song takes on another life when played live. Easily one of my favorites. For the full deep effect of this beautiful song, one must not only listen, one must FEEL it.
This is absolutely incredible
I’ll never forget finding this song or this entire album well over 15 years ago. Still resonates and it’s still haunts me to my core.
Saw him in Nashville 4-11-10, this was the best song of the night. I didn't realize how powerful his voice really is! Anytime he ventures down south I'll be in the crowd!
Bless you. ❤❤❤.
I'm here because of The Vampire Diaries and I'm just so happy because of that.... Because I discovered that great song...
Never question the bond son & father have. It may get lost for a short while whilst we grow apart but always, always comes back together.
one day we hope we can meet us to embrace you. Thank you for your deep music. Greetings from the northsee
Why can't I give this more than 1 up vote
See you on the other side. With all my heart and soul we will meet again. Love is above death and suffering. Nothing can touch love. NOTHING
God how I love this song and this man!! I finally got to see him in concert last week... been waiting a damn long time. Boy was it worth the price and the drive... he sang so many wonderful things and did a really long encore. Praise God for David Gray!
Ahh great were was iy held at i was meant to see him in Belfast one time but the covid puy a stop to all that 😒
this is a quality version. The other dude singing( with the guitar ), he adds to the song.
Takes you to another place when you hear him do his thing. David Gray has unlimited talent. Hope to see him in concert one day soon. Very moving.

I love this song and i love his voice!
Who agrees,this live is better than the original. But the original is very good too. This live song is a masterpiece.
All his live performances of his greatest works are absolutely stunning compared to the original studio cuts. He constantly improves his body of work.
Wow! These are definitely some powerful lyrics.
Haven't yet seen him live but maybe one day!!
