David Gray is an extremely popular singer/composer in the UK and Ireland and has been picking up steam here in the US. According to his website, "White Ladder was certified seven times platinum in the UK with sales of over 2.2 million accrued over more than 100 weeks in the Top 40. In Ireland, at the time of writing, the album has spent 175 weeks on the chart and is the biggest selling, non-compilation album of all time... In America to date, two million copies have been sold and David received a Grammy nomination for 'Best New Artist."

Here's his website - some music videos and music and lyrics are available there to check out.

Gray records with his song writing partner and instrumentalist Clune in his small Clapham studio (all 20 by 10 feet of it) and alot of his stuff is pretty catchy. Not sure how to describe his work - its sort of pop folk ballads - very nice on the ear. Love to hear what people think..

Got a couple of his albums... New Day at Midnight and White Ladder....

It's good stuff. Moonglow told me about David Gray a couple of years back.

Hadnt looked at his web site before.... that's what I call a decent selection of sound and video samples.

I like a lot of his tracks, but don't turn to him to cheer you up!

I expect that some people will recognise the music even if they didn't know it was David Gray. You hear tunes on TV and adverts all the time. Please Forgive Me was played in one of the first episodes of Scrubs. Hmmm, that is all I can remember, but I'm sure there are loads more!

Please forgive me

Please forgive me

If I act alittle strange

For I know not what I do.

Feels like lightning running through my veins

Everytime I look at you

Everytime I look at you

Help me out here

All my words are falling short

And there’s so much I want to say

Want to tell you just how good it feels

When you look at me that way

When you look at me that way

Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow

Moving out across the bay

Like a stone I fall into your eyes

Deep into some mystery

Deep into that mystery

I got half a mind to scream out loud

I got half a mind to die

So I won’t ever have to lose you girl

Won’t ever have to say goodbye

I won’t ever have to lie

Won’t ever have to say goodbye

Yeah na na na na

Yeah na na na na

Please forgive me

If I act alittle strange

For I know not what I do

It’s like my head is filled with lightning girl

Everytime I look at you

Everytime I look at you

Everytime I look at you

Everytime I look at you

I would think people would be more likely to recognise Babylon

Friday night I'm going nowhere

All the lights are changing green to red

Turning over TV stations

Situations running through my head

Well looking back through time

You know it's clear that I've been blind

I've been a fool

To ever open up my heart

To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule

Saturday I'm running wild

And all the lights are changing red to green

Moving through the crowd I'm pushing

Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream

Only wish that you were here

You know I'm seeing it so clear

I've been afraid

To tell you how I really feel

Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made

If you want it

Come and get it

Crying out loud

The love that I was

Giving you was

Never in doubt

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Babylon, Babylon

Sunday all the lights of London

Shining , Sky is fading red to blue

I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves

And wondering where it is you might be going to

Turning back for home

You know I'm feeling so alone

I can't believe

Climbing on the stair

I turn around to see you smiling there

In front of me

If you want it

Come and get it

Crying out loud

The love that I was

Giving you was

Never in doubt

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Let go your heart

Let go your head

And feel it now

Babylon, Babylon, Babylon

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
