Don't ever feel ashamed to cry tears for anything in this life that moves you ... That it what makes you human.. Remembrance and tears are always the two Parents we all live with.
i could just sit here and cry , listening to this song i miss him so much ..........but who know's what's waiting in the wing's of time!!!!........we gonna go were we can shine
The song Ed Sheeran dreams, wishes, cries wishing he wrote it or could match it...Ed Sheeran is amazing, one in a million, but he can never touch this in a zillion lifetimes.
You've totally nailed it, Bill. 🙏 It's a funny old world... Whilst scrolling through some RUclips tunes yesterday, a song by Mr Sheeran popped up. It's had been viewed 4.2 BILLION times!! 😱 I truly believe that David is in a league of his own, but in terms of popular music such as Ed - he was probably born 20 years too early.
Wow. Just wow.David Gray is my all-time favourite artist, and I have to say that 'Shine' is probably my favourite track of his. What a talent this man has.
Songs like this change people's lives. The fact he was as young as he was when he wrote it just lends more weight to his brilliance. He'll be remembered in history as a great.
Just stumbled across this song, I've always liked David, but never bought any of his music, but my gosh, this is just an incredibly moving song, I echo the comments left on here, David, you are a true musical genius, no. Your a musical poet sir, currently I am suffering with mental health issues, and to listen to you sing such a beautiful song just fills my heart with joy, thank you sir. XX
I fell in love with this song when it was introduced to me by a woman I loved very much. When that ended, I couldn't even listen to this song. Eventually, I was able to recover...and now I love the song more than ever.
This song represents a moment in time that rests deep in my heart and soul. I can listen to it and it takes me there. Lots of emotions. In memory of my sunshineface.
i grew up listening to my dads "music", hated it till i was old enough to appreciate it, i feel this is the same with Davids music and the generation below me. man i feel old saying that.
In 2004 my daughter was getting her Journalism degree from Amarillo Jr College and she went to a David Gray concert and got to interview him for the school newspaper. She played a bit of his music for me that she had recorded. That night we both became fans and was a bonding moment for her and I. Love David Grays music. Love you Jessica.
I heard this on the radio for the first time today and thought it was a new song. I was actually shocked to learn it's nearly 30 years old. I love it. Thanks to Philly's wxpn for giving this gem to me!
I can see it in your eyes What I know in my heart is true That our love it has faded Like the summer run through So we'll walk down the shoreline One last time together Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts Like a feather But who knows what's waiting In the wings of time Dry your eyes We gotta go where we can shine Don't be hiding in sorrow Or clinging to the past With your beauty so precious And the season so fast No matter how cold the horizon appear Or how far the first night When I held you near You gotta rise from these ashes Like a bird of flame Step out of the shadow We've gotta go where we can shine For all that we struggle For all we pretend It don't come down to nothing Except love in the end And ours is a road That is strewn with goodbyes But as it unfolds As it all unwinds Remember your soul is the one thing You just can't compromise Take my hand We're gonna go where we can shine We're gonna go where we can shine We're gonna go where we can shine (and look, and look) Through the windows of midnight Moonfoam and silver
I'm just glad in a way he has never really made it in America, he has stuck to his guns with his albums and hasn't changed his sound to suit an American market. Truly an asset this country should be proud of!
He was reading Yeates when he wrote these lyrics said they filtered into the song. Two people who need to be apart so they can shine. Gives me shivers.
How lucky am I to have only heard this beauty for the first time this month? It's like buried treasure. I dedicate this ode to the one. My only special one.
Brilliant! This musician is truly talented and he deserves more attention. The only reason he doesn't release albums very often is because he has a life and family beyond music. I love his music, his voice and beutiful lyrics. He didn't change in quality, He can't and never will lose his talent to write beautiful songs like these.
any song that one can relate to....such as this...holds a level above most music. David Gray has quite a few of these amazing songs...honest and emotional.
He has the amazing, and extremely rare, ability of feeling the music rather than writing it... As I listen to his songs I can almost see how they formed in his head before he ever put pen to paper... Such a powerful, sensitive and caring character. Good on ya David lad.
Some songs can encompass everything that needs to be said. This song has helped me get though many loss of close friends and family through the years and given me strength to keep on. God bless you David.
David went out with me for a month -or- so. 39 years ago I was 16 and he was 17. I have only just realised who he is now. He did not talk much. He seemed "different". I made him smile. The way he looked at me will never leave me. I was sad when I realised he was not coming to see me any more. I am watching this video to try to bring it all together. The Dave I knew in 1985, the White Ladder David Gray, and the legend he has become. I have tried to reach out to people I knew in 1985 with no success. He did not talk much. I did not have much of a voice either, when I was 16. 1985- I was sad when I realised he was not coming to see me any more. 2024- I am heartbroken.
Listening over 20 years after I first heard this song on tape from A Century Ends and knew David to be a genius. What I've learnt from goodbyes is definitely that our souls are the one things we can't compromise. That we meet people for a reason which in my experience is for our soul's to learn and grow and sometimes that's best done apart. Wishing us all great and lasting love 💖🙏
My sister introduced me to his music long before he hit the big time ,he used play gigs in Cork city.This is the first song i heard from him,still my favorite
Fengis trust you kept on playing SMILES Welcome to my first funeral song, amongst a few others... David is beyond brilliance How profound knowing OUR LOVE is ETERNAL~
i saw david on july 6, in indianapolis, indiana. he kept his audiance entertained with his music and jokes throughout the concert. he is a very talented singer and i can't wait to see him again!!!
I just went to his concert on March 5th and let me tell you that he sounds better live than on his album what an amazing concert could be the best one ever. If ever the oportunity comes up go see him he is mezmorizing. " remember your souls the one thing you can't compromise!"
and for all that we struggle for all we pretend you know you know it don't come down to nothing except love in the end....this is so true,but pl strive for wrong things these days,unaware that non of those things they will be able to take with them where ever it is after this life we'll go,but love ,love remains
amazing song, helping my cope with the split from my girl at the moment, she loves me, i love her, but shes not available. Hope we will shine in the end.
I always remember around 1999-2001 period listening to White Ladder on repeat over and over. That album is incredible. This is his best song though i think. Come to Toronto soon please David
Expression of a great singer singing like the angles of loves faith thank u for never leaving the hope behind us is faith holy kingz let your love shine as this man was not afraid to sing his heart David grey life wouldn't be the same if I'd never heard of this great man legand
This song played at my cousins wake. This is the first time I’ve been able to listen to this in almost 20 years. Not easy to do either.
God bless bro
Beautiful song. I dig your username. I love that he uses his more natural Welsh accent on these early songs.
Good on you for feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
I am not ashamed to admit that I wept upon hearing this song for my first time. So beautiful and heartfelt lyrics. David Gray is my all time favorite!
Daniel. Weeping together.
It's no easier a listen in 2020. 😪
It’s the only song to ever bring me to tears
Love this too long song you know this is what I want to do it my son Royal and his mother Lexi pitcher
Don't ever feel ashamed to cry tears for anything in this life that moves you ... That it what makes you human.. Remembrance and tears are always the two Parents we all live with.
Remember your soul is the one thing you can't compromise!! One of the most underrated lyricists in the business.
Absolutely
Love is road strewn with goodbyes
"Remember your soul is the one thing
You can't compromise
Take my hand
We're gonna go where we can shine"
What a line
i could just sit here and cry , listening to this song
i miss him so much ..........but who know's what's waiting in the wing's of time!!!!........we gonna go were we can shine
The song Ed Sheeran dreams, wishes, cries wishing he wrote it or could match it...Ed Sheeran is amazing, one in a million, but he can never touch this in a zillion lifetimes.

I truly believe that David is in a league of his own, but in terms of popular music such as Ed - he was probably born 20 years too early.
David Gray is a modern day Van Morrison. Amazing lyrics and emotion in this song.
Alan Eisenberg great call
Heard this magnificent song first on Donal Dineen's No Disco, 30 years ago. Loved it then, love it now.
reminds me of all the good times i had with my grandpa.
what an absolutely brilliant song this is
924eightball sad then and still sad now...
Welcome to my first funeral song, amongst a few others...
David is beyond brilliance, how profound knowing OUR LOVE is ETERNAL~
Wow. Just wow.David Gray is my all-time favourite artist, and I have to say that 'Shine' is probably my favourite track of his. What a talent this man has.
At 53 I still melt when I hear his music.
"We're gonna rise from these ashes like a bird of flame"
Tingle down my spine everytime... for me one of his best songs.
Walking around Sydney at night with this song as company...beautiful
This man is fabulous and this is one of the greatest songs ever!.
To the one that got away,
You'll never see this....and I'm over it now....but it was great while it lasted.
--Me
thumbs up x 1 billion! Mr. Gray, u sir, have enriched this life more than i can say. Thank you.
Songs like this change people's lives. The fact he was as young as he was when he wrote it just lends more weight to his brilliance. He'll be remembered in history as a great.
First time I heard this today.. I lead a sheltered life.. This is amazing
Who's still listening to this in march 2022 😉😉😉
This song sends ripples of shivers, deep into my soul.
Good god! This man's voice is one of the most underrated voices in music.
Just stumbled across this song, I've always liked David, but never bought any of his music, but my gosh, this is just an incredibly moving song, I echo the comments left on here, David, you are a true musical genius, no. Your a musical poet sir, currently I am suffering with mental health issues, and to listen to you sing such a beautiful song just fills my heart with joy, thank you sir. XX
see him in concert for sure then because in concert this song has only gotten better with age.
Every love fades away at a certain time, and this song is the perfect way to honor that love and say goodbay. Love ur lyrics David G💕
I fell in love with this song when it was introduced to me by a woman I loved very much. When that ended, I couldn't even listen to this song. Eventually, I was able to recover...and now I love the song more than ever.
This song represents a moment in time that rests deep in my heart and soul. I can listen to it and it takes me there. Lots of emotions. In memory of my sunshineface.
Thank you David Gray for your talent that you graciously share w/ us. We are better for that.
I hope anyone reading this gets to go where they can shine in 2022!
Happy New Year xx
My stomach physically hurts as I hear this song. I am so overwhelmed: music still exists.
i grew up listening to my dads "music", hated it till i was old enough to appreciate it, i feel this is the same with Davids music and the generation below me. man i feel old saying that.
One of our best living song writers.

I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true
That our love it has faded
Like the summer run through
So we'll walk down the shoreline
One last time together
Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts Like a feather
But who knows what's waiting
In the wings of time
Dry your eyes
We gotta go where we can shine
Don't be hiding in sorrow
Or clinging to the past
With your beauty so precious
And the season so fast
No matter how cold the horizon appear
Or how far the first night
When I held you near
You gotta rise from these ashes
Like a bird of flame
Step out of the shadow
We've gotta go where we can shine
For all that we struggle
For all we pretend
It don't come down to nothing
Except love in the end
And ours is a road
That is strewn with goodbyes
But as it unfolds
As it all unwinds
Remember your soul is the one thing
You just can't compromise
Take my hand
We're gonna go where we can shine
We're gonna go where we can shine
We're gonna go where we can shine
(and look, and look)
Through the windows of midnight
Moonfoam and silver
rasp berry Almost...good try though.
Thank you for putting the lyrics. Thank you to David Gray
Thank you
I needed to hear this song today.
One of the greatest songs ever written.
don't come down to nothing except THE LOVE in the end...your soul is the one thing you can't compromise...SHINE people!
I'm just glad in a way he has never really made it in America, he has stuck to his guns with his albums and hasn't changed his sound to suit an American market. Truly an asset this country should be proud of!
This man is a genius - gorgeous lyrics, gorgeous voice, gorgeous songs and gorgeous man!!
If I started each day with this song I’d be a better person. This man touches my soul.
He was reading Yeates when he wrote these lyrics said they filtered into the song. Two people who need to be apart so they can shine. Gives me shivers.
How lucky am I to have only heard this beauty for the first time this month?
It's like buried treasure.
I dedicate this ode to the one. My only special one.
Hope is an encouraging thing.
"Who knows what's waiting on the wings of time"
Shine!!
Heather Hoerschgen indeed shine as such bright hope that light.... the...light ...this only light ...let it light our way .
That is the kind of music I have been looking for. First time I heard this and first time I heard of this singer.
This Song has a special meaning to me and someone who lives 5000 miles away and when I listen to it I am almost over whelmed
Simply fantastic. His lyrics just don't have competition from other British artists. Truly brilliant songwriter.
one of my most favorite songs ever. classic and beautiful.
This man changed my life. I'll always love him.
I just love this voice and his beautiful writing. Who doesn't love an Scotsman :)
I think he's from Wales actually, but close enough Lol
He's English am afraid
@@paulmclaughlan7642 Right born in england spent all his life in Wales.
From manchester
With all he has done,this is timeless.
Brilliant! This musician is truly talented and he deserves more attention. The only reason he doesn't release albums very often is because he has a life and family beyond music. I love his music, his voice and beutiful lyrics. He didn't change in quality, He can't and never will lose his talent to write beautiful songs like these.
One of his most beautiful songs
any song that one can relate to....such as this...holds a level above most music. David Gray has quite a few of these amazing songs...honest and emotional.
He has such talent and his music has such an emotional effect :')
Amazingly beautiful song " Ours is a road that is strewn with goodbyes "
Have to agree for me probably the song ever sung and written , legend.
I love this song. The lyrics are absolutely fantastic.
After all these years, its still amazing.
just a clean acoustic and an outstanding voice,
now thats what you call music from the heart
He has the amazing, and extremely rare, ability of feeling the music rather than writing it... As I listen to his songs I can almost see how they formed in his head before he ever put pen to paper... Such a powerful, sensitive and caring character. Good on ya David lad.
Thanks for playing this for me and Caroline in Dublin in 2022. Much love.
He has an amazingly brilliant way with words. Blows me away.
Some songs can encompass everything that needs to be said. This song has helped me get though many loss of close friends and family through the years and given me strength to keep on. God bless you David.
this song is amazing and helping me cope with my girl who's just not available now, hope we will shine in the end
He is simply amazing...isn't he ??? What a singer songwriter eh ?
David went out with me for a month -or- so. 39 years ago I was 16 and he was 17. I have only just realised who he is now. He did not talk much. He seemed "different". I made him smile. The way he looked at me will never leave me. I was sad when I realised he was not coming to see me any more.

Favourite song if there is such a thing but have thought so for maybe 8yrs now. Pure Emotion.
Shine and coming down are my all time favourite songs ever fact ❤
He's amazing. But it's his early stuff that really speaks to me. Just raw and beautiful.
This is hands down my favourite by David Gray!!
Nobody can write songs like David Gray

Absolutely love this song.
