David Ford
David Ford (born David James Ford on 16 May 1978 in Dartford, Kent) is an English singer-songwriter, guitarist and songwriter. He first achieved prominence with the indie rock group Easyworld who disbanded in 2004.
The LA Times said in January 2007 'David Ford digs down deep in the heart-and-soul tradition: an English and male Lucinda Williams? He puts everything into every note, every word.'

The LA Times said in January 2007 'David Ford digs down deep in the heart-and-soul tradition: an English and male Lucinda Williams? He puts everything into every note, every word.'
Ford recorded his debut album 'I Sincerely Apologise For All the Trouble I've Caused' on his own in his cellar flat in Eastbourne during 2005 thinking he was just "doing a bunch of demos". However, the strength of these recordings led to magnoliaMAM taking him on for management and shortly thereafter licensing the 'demos' as a finished album to Independiente for the UK and then, in April 2006, to Columbia Records in New York for the USA and the 'rest of the world'.
The album was widely acclaimed and featured in the best of lists for 2006 in the LA Times, The Sunday Times, The New York Post, The Word and The Toronto Star - who said 'you have to go back to Dylan's 'Idiot Wind'/'Blood on the Tracks' to find such an impressively sustained, bile-soaked round of invective'.
Ford toured extensively in the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia during 2006. When performing live, Ford makes use of a 'looping pedal' which allows him to build up layers of vocals, guitars, percussion and keyboards to create extremely powerful and beautiful layers of sound; most notably when playing the song "State Of The Union". (live footage can be seen on both his myspace page and his old archived web site - www.myspace.com/davidford & www.davidford.mu - current website is at www.davidfordmusic.com)
2007 saw the release of his critically-aclaimed, yet widely ignored, album Songs For The Road. Ford spent the most of 2008 in the US promoting it.
February 2010 saw the release of his album, Let The Hard Times Roll, coinciding with a tour of the UK, with dates in the US too.
In April 2011 Ford released his autobiography, I Choose This, covering his musical experience from high school through to touring the United States as a solo artist.
Ford's musical honesty and passionately melodic songwriting has seen him compared to the likes of Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Neil Young, James Taylor and Elton John.

Go To Hell
David Ford Lyrics
I never treated you so mean
Like that's a reason to be proud
My love, I know it's been so long
But I thought that I'd just call around
And with that smile that says
Yeah, well, I knew you'd wait for me
I can hear you say
The day I fall down at your feet
Go to hell
Go to hell
Well, I thank you for your understanding
I won't be long
And for the things around the house
You left unthrown
And hey, I know it's been so long
But I thought I'd call
And just come crawling back in time
To hear to you say
Go to hell
Just go to hell
Go to hell
My sweet indecision
Do you think I'd wait around for you?
Just go to hell
'Cause I don't deserve you
You don't deserve this
And tell me, hey
Go to hell
Go to hell
Go to hell
Go to hell

I never treated you so mean
Like that’s a reason to be proud
My love, I know it’s been so long but
I just thought I’d call around
And with that smile that’s says, “yeah well, ya see…
I knew you’d wait for me…”
I can hear you say, the day I fall down at your feet
“Go to hell, just go to hell”
Well I thank you for understanding, I won’t be long
And for the things around the house you left unthrown
And hey, I know it’s been so long but I thought I’d call
And I just kept crawling back in time just to hear you say,
“Go to hell, just go to hell”
My sweet indecision, do you think I’d wait around for you?
Just go to hell
Cause I don’t deserve you, you don’t deserve this
so tell me, hey, “Go to hell”

I can't believe this isn't a 20M view video. I've personally watched it a couple hundred times.

I feel like this is one of those OG YouTube videos that I come back to, like, every 2 or 3 years. Can't believe it doesn't have a million+ views.

Lack of marketing budget! I have been following Mr Ford for the last 12 years (I'm one of the obsessive collectivists who owns everything he's ever produced) and I love him. But you take one of his albums to a record label and they'll be so bewildered by the diversity of styles (waily stuff, heart breaking ballad, gravelly bluesy one, angry political rant) and they have no idea which audience to sell to. He gets by on word of mouth and loyalty. We're the lucky ones who managed to find him :)

This song still hits like a truck

If you are a fan of Tom Waits.... Then you are a fan of David Ford... Because Tom still is hard to figure out... Even after 40 years
