when i was young my dad used to play david gray in the car alot. The past ten years he suffered from MND the worst possible disease there is and sadly he passed away a few days before my 21st birthday a few years ago. today on the 19th of december is his birthday and ive only just come across these songs again for the first time since those car rides. in absolute tears right now typing this, i know for sure ill be in the car one day, with my kids in the back listening to these beautiful songs thinking about him.
@@guntervonhagen1485 Hey mate, thanks for your response. I had to look up what CJD was... that is rough to say the least. If you don't have a bible get one asap. Start with the gospels (matthew, mark, luke and John). If we are right with God we no longer have to fear death. I will be praying for you daily.
A guy used to sing all Grays songs in a VIP area of a club in Accrington, Piano and all..... He was superb! My wife and I found the place after we decided to give our 7yr marriage another go. Divorce cancelled..... We celebrated our 25th silver wedding anniversary last October. Thanks in part to you Mr Gray 👍
I heard this song at a pub when I’d taken myself on a trip to think about my marriage. This song came on as soon as I walked in and I knew they tune but didn’t really pay attention to the words but I knew it was speaking to me. So I tried to find it later when I got back to my hotel but couldn’t remember any of the words so only had the tune in my head. So I prayed to God that he’d help me find the name of this song. On the last night of my stay I went back to that pub and I met a girl there who I had a drink with and we talked for ages about our lives and she said she loved music so I hummed her the tune and she said that’s David gray so I looked him up on RUclips and it was this song! Then I went back to my hotel and really listened to the words and it was as if God led me to this song to give me hope that my marriage would survive. Thank you God and David for writing this beautiful and powerful song. I have hope again
The album just hit its 20th anniversary and David is going to celebrate it by touring the album one more time and releasing a remastered version with unreleased tracks and demos :) Support the legend that is David Gray
This just produced a memory from 2006. I was in bed during a week or so of depression. My then 7 year-old daughter knocks on the bedroom door. I considered pretending to be asleep as I was ashamed of being seen by her like that. Anyway, I can't remember if I answered but she comes in with drawing of a flower or a tree I think and says she drew it for me. I'm trying not to well up as she tells me she loves me and wraps her arms around my neck while snuggling into me. I tell her I love her too, just about managing to form the words with my eyes brimming. She then climbs off the bed and gently closes the door. I barely hear her tiptoe away. I sobbed at how much my heart ached due to the thought of being less of a father than she deserved! I'm just about holding it together as I write this! 😭
I hope you have healed from your dark state mate it's not an easy journey through this life but there are lots of things to keep you going just like this beautiful moment and many more when you can keep going. Best wishes and keep strong.
He didn't sell his soul to those in control of the industry.... That's why we don't hear his music much any more...My utmost respect that he chose his family ❤
Didnt know that Anna, played his stuff endlessly at one point about 18 years ago, always wondered what happened with him. Dont need a follow up after those songs though, perfect for me at that time x
Had a midlife crisis at 33 yrs old. it's time to slow down a bit for me. I hope everyone can gracefully transition into older age so they don't have to crack, break and be rebuild like I did. Mental break downs are very difficult but we can always look to Jesus on the other side of life waiting to keep us.
This too was I when I looked at my daughter in her hospital crib!! For the first time that we were introduced formally!! I just watched her for hours even though I was so so tiered from bringing her into this world.
scrubs didn't bring me here. What brought me here is that when I was a child me and my father would drive miles on end up to London because my mother left my father, he used to listen to David Gray a lot because it reminded him of her. That's what brought me here, the love my father has for my mother, just so you know they're together now and have been for 18 happy years.
years ago when I broke up with my partner at the tender age of 17 I listened to this album heartbroken. we got back together had 16 wonderful years a son together a dog together and he went and died on me! so now I am listening to this again with what I now know to be a true broken heart. 💔💔
God Bless you Teri, Whats beautiful about your story is you will one day be together, Just remember this he,s right by your side always and forever xx thinking about you
I'm so sorry for your loss but so glad you had 16 wonderful years. He will forever be a part of you... He planted a flag in your heart that will always be there. Sending you love and good vibes from the Midwest!
Sorry for your loss, but congratulations it sounds like you had a great 16 years with someone. Nothing is forever even if someone is alive. Remember the good memories. He will always be with you...
I played this album non stop when I was at home with two beautiful children and realised I was trapped in a toxic marriage it saw me through the hardest of times .
If being trapped in a 'toxic' marriage is a price you must pay to raise kids in a two-parent household, then you do that. You're the one who picked the man. You make the best of it until those kids are raised.
@Skindoggiedog yeah then those kids are raised seeing a toxic relationship believing its normal, thats what love looks like! Thee shittest advice I think I've ever read 🤦♀️
What gets me about this song is that it’s full of joy but also desperate pain. It feels like it’s about someone he adores but knows in the end he can’t have - ‘I’ve got half a mind to die, so I won’t ever have to lose you, won’t ever have to say goodbye...’
7 yrs ago I was struck by lightning in my backyard swimming pool out in Kansas. This song reminds me of the nurse who brought me back to health and would give me a forehead kiss every night after she bathed me and took me to the toilet. She would hum this song and I always think of her now when I hear it.
omg sammmeee but i was in kathmandu when this happened to me. Will always remember my nurse playing this song to get me thru it. Thank you Kavya will always remember u
i remember this from car rides with my mom. it was sometime in the 00s, i'm not sure. i just remember this song & all the lights of birmingham flashing past my window. it's amazing how it takes me right back.
Same here!! My mom used to play it in the car alllll the time, this song and Babylon. I remember sitting in my car seat with my twin sister on the other side of the car. Crazy how time flies, this song vividly takes me back :(
That's a great way to put it. Offbeat, yet in beat. Chaotic yet with perfect timing. Upbeat sound with sad deep lyrics. It's exactly like the whirlwind that is new love. This is a very meaningful song to me.
David this is still my favorite track from you mate, your an amazing musician! I was a single Dad. Brought up 3 daughters, so I've had an interesting life. There is something really naked in this that cuts thru the grist mate.
I think those drum fills are pretty complex. In fact, part of what I love so much about this song is the complex and almost manic drums in comparison with apologetic, slower, and simple melody sung by David Gray. It captures the anxiety, the regret, and the excitement. It's painfully sobering all the way through. And it's easily one of my favorite songs.
@@madmanswhispers True, that said the song is pretty simple, especially the parts that David himself as brought and simple is absolutely a compliment in this context as far as I'm concerned, as all of the best songs off this album are really simple and yet they are some of the best songs ever written, I've spent a long time trying to make a simple love song as good as this guy and I have failed at every turn so maybe it isn't so simple after all.
My Shawna and I would cruise around to this cd. Love it and her. Hard to listen to it since I lost her in a car accident in 2001. Still love this cd and her though, David Gray rocks!
Only 1 person on my mind when I hear this song. I don’t deserve your forgiveness no matter how much time goes on, but just know I really am sorry and would change everything if I could. You’re always on my mind !
Came across this Nov 24 ,I was privileged to spend my secondary school years listening to him play on stage .How many of us would have thought he would reach those heights.He was born to play never stopped all through school.Enjoying every minute with dedication has had rich rewarda
Junior year in college, I studied abroad in Spain. This album was the soundtrack to my time there. Whenever I put on White Ladder, I'm flooded with nothing but great memories. Thank you David, not only for this amazing album, but decades of great music. You are loved, and appreciated by so many!
Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands and artists such as David Gray and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.
This was some kind of sample song included in a very early computer music player app. I still remember listening to it with my sister as we tried to figure out how it worked. Every once in awhile I revisit the song to bring back some slice of that time in my life
Live at Hammersmith was once in a lifetime video of this song ! That was real and raw. I was there for that, through RUclips. I travel the universe all in one place, my home my refuge. Thank you David Gray 🩶🩶🩶🩶 for your music!
Nostalgia dei miei anni dal 97 al 99 passati a londra..stupendi e spensierati..nulla a che vedere con gli anni presenti..un saluto alla mia cara LONDRA..😃..ritengo che david sia un puro talento e artista dei ultimi 25 anni del Regno Unito..
Used to sing this whole album, word for word. My memory is singing it in the back of a tiny Fiat Uno car van as me and a mate drove two birds we met in the pub back to a party. Plenty of anthems on this album for those carefree times. 😄 Gray was unbelievably popular in Ireland back then.
To my wee George died aged 21 ❤, I only wish I understood 😢what was going on his young head ,I had custody for 8 years and I know he came with a lot of problems but I was ready n willing George to b there for u ,I just know u Didn't like this life n I'm so sorry I couldn't help u ,so anyone out there feeling alone ur not there's always someone to talk to ❤please don't let the bass.. get yi down love you so much wee George xxx
My dad used to play white ladder album in the car all the time, I had Scotland football trials once upon a time and when we came back to the car after the trials the car stereo was gone with the white ladder album still in it 😭 lol...great album btw.
How does a person like me, just Mr average, possibly find the accurate, appropriate or even the adequate words to describe my decades long admiration and unabashed devotion to the words, melodies and music of St David Gray? How do I describe "just how good it feels" to listen to him sing so many of his outstanding songs? The bloke not only breaks my heart but he mends it - time and time again. He confronts me - calling me forward to do better. To love deeper. To let go and let be. To forgive and embrace and include. He offers absolution and reconciliation. I've never once been tempted to put him up on a pedestal and falsely worship him as a Rock God. David is far too human to tempt me into that delusion. I've wept with him as much as I've laughed And celebrated with him. What a wonder he (and his family, his army, of musicians) are to me. Album after album of brilliance. I have no doubt Jesus himself is a fan of the man. I simply can't thank him enough. What a delight! What a treasure. What a gift! What a friend. I tip my hat Sir to the God who made you and sent you into our broken, hurting, beautiful falling world. You heal it as you sing. You soothe it as we swoon................. I am humbled to call myself a fan.
The only David Gray album I've bought......this song hit me hard.... absolutely class album and this one the best of them all.... Fcking I just realized this makes me old ffs
This song is a big memorie in my life my mum used to always play this when i was a kid in the car in the early 2000s shes gone now but whenever i hear this song shes there with me ❤️ thank you david your one of a kind
Reminds me of early spring after my wife and I got married. I`d be outside grilling with a glass of wine, back door open and David Gray helping to sooth my buzzed mind.
His line in the song "feels like lightning running through my veins" is one of my favorite lyrics in all of music ever. And majority of us have to sift through dating and relationships for awhile sometime years, but when you have found that right person whether they are still alive or they passed away, you feel like lightning running through your veins when your with them. Can't describe it any better than Mr.Gray did here.
Love the lyric, "feels like lightning runnin through my veins." When you sing @ me that way....Strongest male lyricist I ever heard. Gray is still the best....especially love the musical stanza deep into that mystery...he is so good to listen to, it almost hurts sometimes from the beauty he sings...
You're a bit late to the party there Crouching Moron, never mind, better late than never. Also, check out the excellent Josh Rouse, 'Nashville' is a good album to begin with.
This man is a treasure….. typing this comment from Jamaica 🇯🇲… love his work
I thought I was the only Jamaican that liked his music.
Classic song and video.
Rah man big up Jamaica love from Ireland 🇮🇪

Great story. I'm happy you guys made it through that rough period.
Yeah another guy I know sang just like David Gray... brilliant vocalist...
Nice my friend....nice...im going on 24 yrs married now and this song is a classic like always.
I feel like this era was the end of the simpler times, where people hadn't gone completely insane in an online world.
Totally agree
They were just as insane internally but the internet gave us all a platform to show our shadow side.
@@Julsies7 nah the internet fucked us
The internet was a fun place to hang out in those days, but we didn’t live our lives online the way we do now. They were better days.

This is beautiful this is love ❤
When I heard this song I got a flashback to the last time the UK had a sense of culture.
Playing pool with my mates on a Friday night, everyone knew the words . Life was great 👍
Nostalgia, back when the world wasn't quite as shit.
agree
It's not that the world wasn't shit; it's that you've become more aware
Haha. The worlds always been shit, buddy. Be lucky that the West is in control (I’m assuming you live in a western corporate subsidized country)...
It’s not that the world is shit. It’s your view that is shit.
Be selfish, fuck the rest of the world and do what you want, make yourself happy
Right
He didn't sell his soul to those in control of the industry....
That's why we don't hear his music much any more...My utmost respect that he chose his family ❤

@@andylowe5491 sorry only just saw your message....I saw him a few years back in Birmingham symphony Hall, he was still epic...😍
his music never really came close to the standard of White Ladder again to be honest.
Anna achucourtney I think he did. His surname is Grey. There’s no grey area with God. He’s serving the darkness. He’s serving Lucifer.
He sold out his drummer that was his soul
Had a midlife crisis at 33 yrs old. it's time to slow down a bit for me. I hope everyone can gracefully transition into older age so they don't have to crack, break and be rebuild like I did.

Good stuff Bro
Yes sir☺️🙏 well said
this song sums up the early 2000s.
I’m a 71 year female and I listen and watch this video so often. Makes me felt heard
David Gray could do no wrong in my opinion. Saw him live once, an absolute privilege. The man is a musical hero
same Steve. saw him only one time but that show was pure magic.
Class song this
Agreed
He would if he hung out with me. Lol
From limewire to today. Singing to my 2 month old in my arms. 2024

I played this album non stop when I was at home with two beautiful children and realised I was trapped in a toxic marriage it saw me through the hardest of times .
If being trapped in a 'toxic' marriage is a price you must pay to raise kids in a two-parent household, then you do that.
You're the one who picked the man.
You make the best of it until those kids are raised.
@@Skindoggiedog Nonsense advice. All proper research shows children are better of away from tension and conflict or lovelessness.
What does research say about single mother households? When it comes to criminals and predators? I know do you?
Toxic women no good best thing is get out of it all the best
@Skindoggiedog yeah then those kids are raised seeing a toxic relationship believing its normal, thats what love looks like!
Thee shittest advice I think I've ever read 🤦♀️
David Gray is a wildlife ambassador these days, top man 👌🎧😎🎧❤️
When my dad dies 21 years ago i used to listen to this song through a tough time in my Life, more incredible to listen to it today 2024 🏴☠️🇩🇰🙏🏽

Thank you. The music is the only thing is British can still be proud of
An amazing artist
My dad had the album on CD,we would always sing it together in the car. Bliss.
This was some kind of sample song included in a very early computer music player app. I still remember listening to it with my sister as we tried to figure out how it worked. Every once in awhile I revisit the song to bring back some slice of that time in my life
These drums 🥁
This song reminds me of being 15 and feeling overwhelmed by life. I'm now 27 and still feeling overwhelmed by life. Some things never change.
Same I'm just two years younger , this song screams early 2011 & being 13 for me
I’m 34 mate and still feel like that. It doesn’t change.
We all should forgive , as it releases us from all suffering ,that goes for all of us 🥰😇🙃
U can say that again.
Live at Hammersmith was once in a lifetime video of this song ! That was real and raw. I was there for that, through RUclips. I travel the universe all in one place, my home my refuge. Thank you David Gray 🩶🩶🩶🩶 for your music!
Nostalgia dei miei anni dal 97 al 99 passati a londra..stupendi e spensierati..nulla a che vedere con gli anni presenti..un saluto alla mia cara LONDRA..😃..ritengo che david sia un puro talento e artista dei ultimi 25 anni del Regno Unito..
Used to sing this whole album, word for word. My memory is singing it in the back of a tiny Fiat Uno car van as me and a mate drove two birds we met in the pub back to a party. Plenty of anthems on this album for those carefree times. 😄 Gray was unbelievably popular in Ireland back then.
To my wee George died aged 21 ❤, I only wish I understood 😢what was going on his young head ,I had custody for 8 years and I know he came with a lot of problems but I was ready n willing George to b there for u ,I just know u Didn't like this life n I'm so sorry I couldn't help u ,so anyone out there feeling alone ur not there's always someone to talk to ❤please don't let the bass.. get yi down love you so much wee George xxx
Bless you, you gave him your love, and support and that's all any of us can do.
My dad used to play white ladder album in the car all the time, I had Scotland football trials once upon a time and when we came back to the car after the trials the car stereo was gone with the white ladder album still in it 😭 lol...great album btw.
This drummer is FABULOUS!!!!
And thank you for recording this song. Truly. I’m 70 and appreciate the please forgive me if I act a little strange. So there ARE more of me!
Can't believe this song is 20 years old !!!
Haven't heard / watched this for ages. Its fucking beautiful.....
2020 still unbelievable song wow wow wow
How does a person like me, just Mr average, possibly find the accurate, appropriate or even the adequate words to describe my decades long admiration and unabashed devotion to the words, melodies and music of St David Gray? How do I describe "just how good it feels" to listen to him sing so many of his outstanding songs? The bloke not only breaks my heart but he mends it - time and time again. He confronts me - calling me forward to do better. To love deeper. To let go and let be. To forgive and embrace and include. He offers absolution and reconciliation. I've never once been tempted to put him up on a pedestal and falsely worship him as a Rock God. David is far too human to tempt me into that delusion. I've wept with him as much as I've laughed And celebrated with him. What a wonder he (and his family, his army, of musicians) are to me. Album after album of brilliance. I have no doubt Jesus himself is a fan of the man. I simply can't thank him enough. What a delight! What a treasure. What a gift! What a friend. I tip my hat Sir to the God who made you and sent you into our broken, hurting, beautiful falling world. You heal it as you sing. You soothe it as we swoon................. I am humbled to call myself a fan.
"It feels like lightning running through my veins every time I look at you." This line might be the best description of having a crush ever.
Without doubt my most favourite song of all time
This song reminds me of my dad, just like all David Gray songs.
David Gray was so underrated in 90s early 2000s what a voice man.....
He was a legend in Ireland at that time
Heard a drum phrase like this one and was like "omg that reminds me of that David gray song". The memories this brings back.
Why is there a big smile on my face.
Timeless, and I never get sick of it. I can listen to endlessly. If I was on a desert island and could only take one album, this would be it.
Memories with my dad as a kid driving along listening to David gray albums everytime I hear his songs shivers go through me
likewise brother. let me guess youre in your early 30s... ?
This song and video touches me on many levels. Thank you David for your music and hard work❤️ We are listening❤️
This song now reminds of how better times in the U.K. back in the 1970s,1980s, and 1990s.
No expense spared on the video. But remember it had heavy rotation on former music channel MTV...or was it VH1? Anyway, great song...memories
“Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow, moving out across the bay”
Gets me every time that line.
I fall in love with this song each and every time I hear it.
Loved it when it was out and listening in 2021 with a big smile on my face
Those hand claps that start from 2.51 are everything
The only David Gray album I've bought......this song hit me hard.... absolutely class album and this one the best of them all....
Fcking I just realized this makes me old ffs
great early, candid, fun video of an amazing song by a stellar singer songwritier, abs one of my faves!
David, you are wonderful. You heal my heart whenever I listen to you. Thank you.
This song is a big memorie in my life my mum used to always play this when i was a kid in the car in the early 2000s shes gone now but whenever i hear this song shes there with me ❤️ thank you david your one of a kind
Songs I used to listen to in the car with my Mum really mean a lot to me as well. Sorry for your loss
Reminds me of early spring after my wife and I got married. I`d be outside grilling with a glass of wine, back door open and David Gray helping to sooth my buzzed mind.

His line in the song "feels like lightning running through my veins" is one of my favorite lyrics in all of music ever. And majority of us have to sift through dating and relationships for awhile sometime years, but when you have found that right person whether they are still alive or they passed away, you feel like lightning running through your veins when your with them. Can't describe it any better than Mr.Gray did here.
Thank you david
Love the lyric, "feels like lightning runnin through my veins." When you sing @ me that way....Strongest male lyricist I ever heard. Gray is still the best....especially love the musical stanza deep into that mystery...he is so good to listen to, it almost hurts sometimes from the beauty he sings...
Just discovered this guy last week and I'm digging it
FIGHTTHETEMPLES takes me wayyyyy back, true genuine artist. Won't have another like him ❤
Lucky you
You're a bit late to the party there Crouching Moron, never mind, better late than never. Also, check out the excellent Josh Rouse, 'Nashville' is a good album to begin with.
Digg in man this man is the business Tim .
