I don't know of many men musicians who can stand to write from such a place of vulnerability and really show the strength of it like David. What a rare one he is. He's getting better with age. It's like something turned on in him with Mutineers. More light. Deeper courage.
This is one of my all time favorites. My dad recently passed and I have emotions that feel so heavy. They come on so strong at times and I don't know what to do with myself. When I hear David's voice, the vibration he puts out into world feels heaven sent. It heals my heart. It centers me..🙏❤

It's 2020 the Coronavirus is spreading everyday. We are all quarantined inside not knowing when all this madness will be over. This song came to me as I sit at my kitchen table sewing masks for the many nurses and doctors without personal protection equipment. It's a time of uncertainty and a time of reflection.
What a talented musician this guy his. Lyrics make us realise what life's about seen him perform twice. Once in my home city OF LEEDS never forget it true legend
used to think I was only a handful of fans of this guys great music,but reading the comments on all his videos here,seems others have the same fondness. Great artist,writer,singer,just good listening music.
The first time i ever heard this song was on a Singapore Airlines flight at Circa 38 thousand feet on my way to Saigon - Somewhere over Asia. It really takes something special to make all that stuff seem insignificant.
Listening to you sing this recently at Birmingham I knew as you sang my dad who passed a few months ago was there with me, I’m sure my wife’s dad who passed 5 weeks later was with her too, a beautiful moment such a beautiful song
This song, among most of your others, breaks my heart with all the nemesis I have around me and the honesty I seek. I had the privilege of meeting you backstage on your tour with Ray Lamontange at the Greek in Berkeley several years ago now. We had the privilege due to our connection to Dez and Lisa's loss. How I would love to see you again. I'm your San Francisco Bay Area friend and undying fan. You are my go to for music and I thank you for the depth and truth in your music. Say hello and wave goodbye, gave me the courage to end a destructive marriage. Thank you for your insights and wonderful songs. Always here ❤
I TOTALLY Agree!!! His Lyrics are Deep and Very Moving and the Lyrics to Nemesis are inside All of us at Sometime or other as we move through Relationships in our lives !!! .
Saw my 3rd David show last night and he just keeps getting better and better. Glad he played my favorite again. Hauntingly beautiful and always will be. ❤️
absolutely love how you can share your journey, people like you David are so beautiful how you can express what so many feel introvertly and help shine a light for us all to focus on and become united in yours and our journey and the sheer love of music.

is david a good person or a bad person? is a good bloke or a bad bloke? i'd like to see Jeremy Kyle interview David. I'd like anyone..... to approach David and bring out his anger or sadness. You see a musician has alllllll of that bubbling beneath the surface. Artists are easy to make fun of aren't they? Just catch him off guard at the chip shoppe. Is David even real? I need some scientific evidence.
I need scientific proof that this song is "depression" or "sadness". Is this mania? It's whatever I say it is. Because of social media... I could be 500 pounds eating fists full of cakes and doritos every night.... but i can market myself as a size 12 cover girl model. Would anyone like to exercise common sense? Or are we waiting for more horseshit?

That instrumental section in the middle is sent straight from heaven with no detours x
It breaks my hart in a million pieces to see this magnificent song not getting any views. 1.2k likes?
Maybe we don't deserve the music anymore...
Bob Dylan for the head. Van Morrison for the heart and David Gray for both.. I love this guy
Perfectly stated and totally agree.
I don't know of many men musicians who can stand to write from such a place of vulnerability and really show the strength of it like David. What a rare one he is. He's getting better with age. It's like something turned on in him with Mutineers. More light. Deeper courage.
Its so strange to find a song that brings you to tears and can't explain it. Be good to each other.
You’re so right my brother. ❤
This is one of my all time favorites. My dad recently passed and I have emotions that feel so heavy. They come on so strong at times and I don't know what to do with myself. When I hear David's voice, the vibration he puts out into world feels heaven sent. It heals my heart. It centers me..🙏❤
This song is helping me through a tough time and some frustrations, thank you Mr Gray.
Nemesis is one of the most beautifully written songs I have ever heard.
Living on a little island like Barbados I always felt like I was the only person in the world who loved his music.
Love everything this man writes, sings or participates in. Genius ... just beautiful.
Genius yes yes
Have loved your music for 20 years... thank you for making my life better.
it's nice to hear something so beautiful in this sorry sad ass world we live in
One of my favorites and it will always remain that way love this and am so grateful❤
Unreal how calming this song is. I just want to float on the ocean listening to this song. Wonderful music
'Neath an avalanche - soft as moss
I'm a creeping and intangible sense of loss
I'm the memory you can't get out your head
If I leave you now
You'll wish you were somewhere else instead
I'm the manta ray - I'm the louse
I am a photograph they found in your burned out house
I'm the sound of money washing down the drain
I am the pack of lies baby that keeps you sane
Gates of Heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm trapped inside
Feel like I'm buried alive
I'm the bottom line - of the joke
I am ecstasy - spilling like bright egg yolk
I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share
And I am the smell of it - you're trying to wash out of you hair
Gates of Heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm lost inside
Feel like I'm buried alive
Possibilities limitless
Just give me something that's more than this
One shot and I'll never miss
yes
I'm the babe that sleeps through the blitz
I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist
I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else
I am your nemesis
Baby I'm life sweet life itself
yeah [3x]
Nayak is that you bc?

The one song that brings tears to my eyes

David, your music is beautiful and the only thing that soothes my dark, tortured soul. Thankyou.
The tune and and meaning combine to create a true masterpiece. One of the best songs I've heard.
my what a thoughtful handsome man. thank you God.
Love you brother, beauty and truth all in one song.
He is intoxicating
Beautifully heartbreaking.
Intoxicating, breath taking, brilliant ❤

Love this song. Says it all. Love David Gray so much. Some songs still make me feel so much.

Neath an avalanche
Soft as mud
I'm a creeping-in, intangible sense o’ floss
I'm the memory you can't get out your head
If I leave you now
You'll wish you were somewhere else instead
I'm the manta ray
I'm the blouse
I am the photograph
They found in your burned down house
I'm the sound of money washing down the drain
I am the pack of flies
The baby that keeps you sane, hey
Gates of heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm trapped inside
Feel like I'm buried alive
I'm (x2) the bottom line
Of the yoke
I'm in ecstasy
Spilling like bright egg-yolk
I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share
And I am the smell of it (Shit)
You're trying to wash out of your hair
Gates of heaven are open wide
God help my baby is lost inside
Feels like I'm buried alive
Impossibilities limitless
Just give me something that's more than this
One shot and I'll never miss
Yes
I'm the babe that sleeps
Through the Blitz
I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist
I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else (Your Mother)
I am your nemesis
Baby I'm life sweet life itself, yeah (x3)
Beautiful song!!
Keeps the head down trying to sort my self out in the head painful after losing my partner David
Juxtaposition of beauty.
nice song
Love it@
Gonna say it here cos can’t elsewhere. Born under a bad sign fave song on CC

check this song out at Zermatt unplugged so much better live but then I think he's a much better live act tbh
Linger on your pale blue eyes! 👀
