Review about David Gray Great Song | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The One I Love performed by David Gray
What a great sing! The lyrics has an element of sadness to it, it actually brought a tear to my eye. Maybe we can all learn something from this song. It is so easy to love and so much more difficult to let go of those we love.
The One I Love | Reviewer: Elizabeth
------ About the song The One I Love performed by David Gray
I believe this song is about a soldier at war missing his love back home. I do not think he is dying physically, but dying mentally from being away from his true love for so long. All the soldier wants to do is hold his love in his arms and dance the night away. This is a beautiful song. I love David Gray's lyrics. They all mean so much.
My boyfriend is in the Marines and this song is our perfect song.
This is a good one. i have not bought or listened to much of toda music since i was a kid back in late 60's and 70's. Always love blues and classic rock. I saw a movie about three years ago "The Girl Next Door" and heard the song i now recognize as This Years Love. I like it then as i still do. The while on vacation with my brother we watched the above movie again and I told him I really like this song. Later that evening he introduced me to White Ladder,I Liked the album instantly. There were so many familiar but never heard before melodies I felt myself helplessly drawn to David's knack for weaving his soothing lryics into our own lives. Its worth buying

------ About the song Babylon performed by David Gray
This has always been a song i've loved to listen to. I can't say why, but something about it just sounds incredible. The music, the lyrics, everything is great. I'm not 100% sure what it's about but I have an idea, and you all are welcome to correct me if i'm wrong. I think it's about perhaps his personal regrets in not pursuing something he wanted, what I mean is maybe he's looking back and realizing he should've taken a chance on someone/something, but didnt. Such lyrics as "Looking back in time, you know it's clear that i've been blind i've been a fool," and "I only wish the you were here, you know i'm seeing it so clear, i've been afraid" gave me that idea. And then I think he tries to tell his listeners/audience to learn from his mistakes, that if you want something to just go for it and never look back. To obtain it at all costs. I think that's what he's saying when he sings the chorus: "Let go of your heart, let go of your head, and feel it now." Like he's saying forget all of that and just go, know what I mean? I could be wrong, but tha's what i've gotten from it.

RE:God...heaven sent? | Reviewer: Derek
------ About the song Ain't No Love performed by David Gray
To Laura, I think he stresses the word like in the song, so I get more of a sarcastic feeling to heaven sent. When he says "Open window and I'll steal it. Baby like it’s heaven sent", I think what he means is that if he would see something inside like a car with an open window, he'll just take it *like* its heaven sent.
song meaning? | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The One I Love performed by David Gray
I remember listening to an interview in which David Gray said that he wrote that song with the image of a dying soldier lying in his own blood. This song seems all the more poignant for knowing this.
one of the best | Reviewer: the wanderer
------ About the song Alibi performed by David Gray
I happened to get this song from a friend and I have not been able to get the song out of my mind for weeks. It is one of those songs that you can listen to over and over and not get tired. Many other songs on the disc are also great. I don't know where David Gray has been and why I had never heard of him before. I guess it goes to show that you can't count on finding good music on the radio.

------ About the song The One I Love performed by David Gray
In Greek mythology Elysium was the final resting place of the virtuous and the brave. His reference to this makes me think that he is a soldier dying on the battlefield. He says he does not see Elysium but he is picturing the Bay Hotel. The thing that struck me about this song is that it is so full of joy. I had listened to it a few times before I heard the part about the bullet and the tracer. His love fills him not with grief as he is dying, but with joy. Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. It is a truly beautiful song.
First heard it on Smallville OST | Reviewer: The Beholder
------ About the song Disappearing World performed by David Gray
David Gray is getting better for each time I hear him. The way he combines slow piano song with faster and harder rock song is perfect. And this song is outstanding.
Like you others said, it´s a really sappy song. If you´re feeling low you get lower. And if you´re feeling happy you´re in heaven! :)
I discovered this song in Dawson's Creek! (i'm almost ashamed lol) So, a long time ago now... this song sounds true to me, I really like it... there's not lots of french that know it (I'm french) and it was hard to find who sang it! Now I'm just happy, I listen to it everytime!
Review about the One I love | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The One I Love performed by David Gray
I also think this song is about a soldier dying on a battlefield and feeling the life slipping out of him....thinking about the girl he loves and his regrets at what will never be.....very poingnant and sad...always makes me shed a tear thinking about all the brave soldiers who have gone this route
I would like to pay tribute to this sweet gem of a singer/songwriter, he really warms my heart and I wish I could just cuddle him and move into a country cottage with him or something like that would be my greatest wish and to look after him too and for him to fall madly in love with me. That would be the tops. Anyway, the reason for my slightly scarry message is because I am studying music myself, so please get in touch, you wonderous man because I love you. Please ring me straight away on 01303 250601 or 01303 231174 or 07504193792. We can go round the churches together looking smug and trying to decide which one is best for our wedding and have a laugh together for the rest of our days and have a family too? Tell me all about your life? It sounds fascinating. Hurry up and come round! I need a hug you delightful beast. I have hot chocolate. Love from Miss Emma Lucy Jones of Folkestone in Kent, age 31, soon to be Mrs Emma Gray and very happy to be so for the rest of my days.

------ About the song Say Hello Wave Goodbye performed by David Gray
Thought the song that defined my last relationship was "Please Forgive Me", but yesterday it turned out to be "Say Hello Wave Goodbye". That was the most painful revelation of my life, and now I can't listen to the album without the waterworks starting. A great album, and a lot of memories...

elysium | Reviewer: PJ
------ About the song The One I Love performed by David Gray
To me the obvious driving power of the song is this "girl" and his feelings for her. Many of you have thought he was being "literal" when he was speaking of the battles, the tracers, and the falling dark. To me these are all premonitions in his mind regarding his own fear, doubt, and mortality. The same intuitions we all feel at certain points in time. The end where he says he doesn't see heaven or hell, just the memory of dancing the night away with his love. You can call this sad, but it is beautiful in regards to the falling darkness decending upon the world, or his life (your choice on the interpretation), and all he remembers or cares about is the one he loves.

------ About the song Falling Down the Mountainside performed by David Gray
First off the 3rd line in the 2nd verse is incorrectly listed here. I figure maybe 10 people will ever read this, but this is one of the most powerful songs david has ever written. The line is "spouting all that make believe". You can give this many innotations, wether he means love, belief, or something even more mystic. Seems to me this is a prose between lovers who never quite made it. In this day and age of "dating", and fucking.... what is left when real love occurs, especially when it is unexpected, and seemingly overbearing. To me that is the underlying emotion he was feeling when he scripted this, and it is masterfully done. Thank you david for putting into words what so many have felt, yet so few ever really recover from.... the bottom of a broken heart.
