David Gray Lyrics
One lifetime is long enough
Is long enough to wait
The rain like silver in my ears
Fat nothing on my plate
A bucketful of Babylon
A belly full of hate
Go to sleep my one true love
And may your dreams be sweet
Then we'll be running
See its face beneath the glass
It murmurs on the breeze
Like a long black Cadillac
It passes â??neath the trees
What is it you're waiting for?
Sweet love is on its knees
Go to sleep my one true love
And find your heart's release
Then we'll be running
Afraid of nothing
Yeah we'll be running
Silence is golden
Here I am
I ain't afraid of nothing
Silence is golden
Here I am
The sun above the cotton grass
Is sinking down like lead
The seagulls know the truth of it
And scream it overhead
Hold on to St. Christopher
The sky is murderous red
Go to sleep my one true love
Our glory lies ahead
Then we'll be running
Afraid of nothing
Then we'll be running
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray

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.

This guy is so creative and brilliant in his writing. can't get enough of his music.
lubetester
this album was just as good as white ladder, imo. one of his best.
Jenna Rose
agreed♡
RonJammin
One of the BEST albums ever. I enjoyed the bonus DVD that came with the CD too. Brilliant songs, great from start to finish.
Tom Mills
White Ladder, Life in Slow Motion and Mutineers are literal works of art. incredible albums
Vivienne Clark
Yes~!!
Andy Curtin
@Wes I love draw the line, but I would opt for ANDAM for number one. Songs like freedom, last boat to America, and the Ivor Novello winning other side have such depth and humanity, they're sublime
Rhian Hegarty
I'm gonna get me some more David Gray....since white ladder I've forgotten how good he is tbh. amazing.
Wes
kelvin james I'm split between White Ladder, ANDAM, and LISM. But I agree that Multineers is flawed. He's sadly drifted away from that especially unique folktronic sound I fell in love with.
kelvin james
Mutineers is very flawed. As is LISM. Personally i really like Draw the Line and White Ladder. My vote isn't out yet on ANDAM, there's highlights and lowlights.
