1) David Gray is a British singer-songwriter born on June 13, 1968 in Sale, United Kingdom. He released his first studio album in 1993 and received worldwide attention after the release of White Ladder six years later in 1999.
Gray moved to Wales at age 9 and later returned to the north-west of England to attend the University of Liverpool. His musical career got early support from a dedicated Irish fan base. After a few marginally-successful releases through the 1990s, Gray's breakthrough came with the worldwide release in 1999 of his fourth album, White Ladder; this was a critical and commercial success and included his best-known songs, "This Years Love" and "Babylon". In the United States, the album received a boost from jam-band leader Dave Matthews, who made it the first release by the record company he co-founded, ATO Records.
On August 11, 2001 White Ladder at last reached the top of the UK charts, having been selling steadily since its reissue the previous May, thereby setting a new record for the longest uninterrupted climb to No. 1. The follow-up, A New Day At Midnight, also hit No. 1, and Gray's seventh album, Life in Slow Motion was released on September 12, 2005.
Gray's early music was in a contemporary folk-rock, singer-songwriter mode; his primary instrument was acoustic guitar, with occasional piano. 1996's Sell Sell Sell featured some rock arrangements and electric instrumentation. Starting with the release of White Ladder in 1999, Gray began to make significant use of computer-generated music to accompany his voice and acoustic instrumentation, a technique which differentiates him from many of his peers. Despite the move to more complex music, Gray has used small-scale, often home-based, recording methods and equipment and espoused a "do it yourself" approach to music production. However, Life in Slow Motion is a collaboration with noted producer Marius De Vries.
David Gray's brothers-in-law are Paul and Phillip Hartnoll, formerly of the Techno/Rave band Orbital. Because of this relationship, Gray performed guest vocals on the Orbital single Illuminate, while Paul Hartnoll produced a breakbeat remix of Gray's song "Please Forgive Me".
His successful single "January Rain" was included in the original soundtrack of the movie Serendipity, starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.

Flame Turns Blue
David Gray Lyrics
I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah, but no one just a stranger I did find
I never noticed, hadn't seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue
Different places, yeah, but they all look the same
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue
Words dismantled, hey, and all the books unbound
Conversations though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumor, I don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me where the flame turns blue
So I venture underneath the leaden sky
See the freight train with it's one fierce eye
And then I listen as it tears the night in two
With a whistle and the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
Through the lemon trees, the diamonds of light
Break in splinters on the pages where I write
That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing

ذهبت للبحث عن شخص تركته
نعم, ولكن لا أحد مجرد غريب لم أجد
لم ألاحظ أبدا ، لم أرها كما نمت
الفراغ بيننا حيث يتحول اللهب إلى اللون الأزرق
أماكن مختلفة ، نعم ، لكنها جميعا تبدو متشابهة
أحلام الوجوه في الشوارع التي التهمتها الأسماء
أنا في تصادم مع كل حجر من أي وقت مضى أنا ألقى
والطموح الأعمى حيث يتحول اللهب إلى اللون الأزرق
الكلمات تفكيكها ، مهلا ، وجميع الكتب غير منضم
المحادثات على الرغم من أننا لا ينطق صوت
سمعت شائعة ، لا أعرف ما إذا كانت صحيحة
أنك ستقابلني حيث يتحول اللهب إلى اللون الأزرق
لذلك أنا المغامرة تحت السماء الرصاص
انظر قطار الشحن مع انها عين شرسة واحدة
ثم أستمع كما الدموع الليل في اثنين
مع صافرة واللهب يتحول إلى اللون الأزرق
في الصباح سأغني
في الصباح سأغني
من خلال أشجار الليمون الماس من الضوء
كسر الشظايا على الصفحات التي أكتب فيها
أنه إذا فقدتك لا أعرف ماذا سأفعل
حرق إلى الأبد حيث يتحول اللهب الأزرق
أنه إذا فقدتك لا أعرف ماذا سأفعل
حرق إلى الأبد حيث يتحول اللهب الأزرق
💙
أتعس شيء عن الخيانة / هو أنه لا يأتي من أعدائك

David Gray is simply the best, most talented and yet most under-rated artist the UK has ever produced. I own his entire back catalogue. Why this guy didn't end up as big as some of the mainstream artists is an injustice to music lovers. Hope to see you return again soon David! You are a legend.

My favourite artist his music's shaped my life, Dj Bairdy

I feel like maybe his "White Ladder" taste of fame was enough for him. Now he has the best of both worlds, anonymity to live his life quietly but also sells out his shows.

Cheers to that! I am from the US but live in the Philippines now and his catalog is so often the soundtrack to my walk through everyday life. Bless that man!

I Couldn't agree more 👌👌👌

"I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw"
Deep . He's a speaker of the human soul.
Thank you David.

@Rezaq1: I couldn't have sad it better. When I first heard this man back in 1999 it was the song 'Babylon' from the album 'White Ladders'. I was hooked from the start. I purchased his album 'Lost Songs 95-98' and that shit blew me the fuck away. I think this guy is the greatest Folk-Rock singer/song writer since Bob Dylan! I know I'll get flipped a lot of shit for that statement, but I just feel it's the damn truth. This man is a fuckin' genius thru and thru. Let's hope this man continues to be around for decades to come. Cheers!
