[@emmalampkin5698]

This man is INCREDIBLE- he did a special video message for my terminally ill sister in law last year/ something I will never forget! Not just an amazing musician but an incredible human ❤️

[@ellie9703]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alexhenty76]

Beautiful. My mum is terminally ill and I know of three people recently who passed too young from cancer. So glad he is one of the good ones. I adore his music and his songs have helped me through hard times too Xx

[@TheKosta44]

you sent a tears to my eyes what a guy

[@cathymadegwa8769]

Keep going on with your singing and music your music is amazing and I love you so much. Cat pink mocha xxxxxxxx

[@tobycokes1]

we are all terminally ill, this songs makes me want that process to accelerate xxxxx

[@Robmac90]

Great to see Craig McClune killing it on the drums 👏

[@roballen6595]

Superb i wonder if he just did those fills or if David knew he was going too

[@liamwalters5029]

Brilliant wasn’t it

[@jayl92]

just seen him live in Dublin last night... the drummer is on another level 😊

[@normhead]

Glad I found this comment as I was thinking, who’s the drummer

[@antrog1895]

@@roballen6595 well he did the same at the concert and DG laughed as if he wasn’t expecting it, but I’m not sure now having seen this? Brilliant either way 👍

[@MrJohnnyhercules]

I don't think there is a better 6 minutes on KZbin than this, imagine writing a song this good and giving it to the world. Incredible performance of an incredible song,

[@amyjeffs3269]

and the song just came to him at a dinner party at his home..just like that.

[@sharonjoan9997]

Ugh. I’m always entranced by this tune!!!

[@jamiebarry464]

The first time I heard him a long time ago I fel in love with is music 😊😊😊

[@christophersmeets8791]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3jQZq1uqK90fK8 watch this version for me it’s by far the best one. The outro is phenomenal

[@DD-vl4ih]

In the same bracket as Tom Chaplin, both leading 90's musicians ❤

[@branflanbutler6133]

This song still slaps in late 2023, and the orchestra really sends it

[@orebankthadkhar745]

it still slaps in 2024, it'll slap thru all the coming years.

[@garrym3290]

Timeless

[@robertburns9848]

Never heard of him or the song untill an hour ago but I love it

[@TruthHurts907]

This is off the charts! It lands so softly but cuts so deeply. One of the best live performances I've heard. He's still got it.

[@coldplay8]

The drummer is killing it!!!!

[@REZNAP]

CLUNE is key to the sound! Respect

[@ollyn2107]

Went to a David Gray gig back in the late 90s, Civic Hall Wolverhampton. I was blown away by the drummer, absolutely mesmerised the whole night. So tight, so good, he was killing it back then and ever since. Clune is a legend!

[@danburnes722]

Don’t know David Gray much at all, but happen to see him last weekend, and the drummer here now just does his second set in concert. I was definitely focused on his unique and interesting style, very entertaining.

[@simonbailey7111]

The Bollocks 👌wow

[@thesameeffect]

Clune is one of the reasons why and how white ladder was created. That album was a joint effort and he shaped the sound. Both very Incredible musicians

[@stuvb14]

How his head hasn't fallen after all these years of bobbing side to side I'll never know. This song sounds as great as it did when it was first released

[@Kaili-yv5wu]

😂

[@nuncapasaran9374]

David in a full pinstripe suit, big dumb grin like a little kid, Craig in a Hawaiian shirt jammin out with the brush sticks like he's in a metal band, and a full orchestra filling the room with sweet resonating heartache. It's exactly what is perfect about David Gray's music. Absolutely perfect.

[@liamwalters5029]

Heard this at work yesterday lots of memories flooding back to me , odd a mixture of sadnesses/ happiness , David gray I salute you 👍

[@StuHNomadBiker]

Same here, I was on a 6 month tour in Kosovo with 45 Commando, girlfriend played silly games while I was gone, we split up ... reconciliation happened once home on leave at Xmas, we went to watch David in Blackpool live, Christmas of 2000.... so many memories, being a young lad, young love... feels like yesterday

[@liamh153]

I feel the exact same. Legend!

[@chrisjordan6961]

Same

[@maga7579]

Music is amazing, isn't it? It truly touches the soul

[@IanADolan]

The drummer deserves credit too, epic

[@AntonVanDerSar]

yessir!! That's Russ Lawton. He's an animal. Been enjoying him with Trey Anastasio Band for years and years now.

[@beroopoo]

@@AntonVanDerSar Craig McClune I think

[@deanmcgee2787]

Who’s the drummer then? Anyone anyone ?…. Anyone?

[@Brianholmwood1973]

Sure does

[@bradleyfothergill]

@@deanmcgee2787it is Clune

[@jackmidd123]

Someone please give the drummer a pay rise 🤩🙌🤩

[@jonnicklison449]

drummer is a machine ❤

[@LydiaCole]

Super emotional to see him embody this track with so much emotion after so many years... so beautiful, thank you David Gray, and every player in that room.

[@futurefreak8789]

Teapot

[@ellie9703]

Just when I thought David Gray couldn't get any better he adds an orchestra. Beautiful 💖

[@BrokenBaculum]

I'm never not in awe at the drumming on this song. Clune is a legend.

[@davidmcdermott93]

Drummers getting busy 🔥

[@casual_citizen]

I remember buying this album when it released. His songs hit me just as hard today as they did back then and I still listen to them. There's very very few artists I can say the same about

[@bevblackburn8686]

Awww beautiful. Great to see him getting his groove on at the end. This song (the whole album in fact) was the soundtrack to my divorce. I can now listen to it again with nothing but appreciation for what a fabulous performer David Gray is. Thank you David :-)

[@MrsCrazyrange]

I’m the opposite. That album was the soundtrack to falling in love and now we’re at the tail end of the marriage I find it very hard to listen to.

[@MrSexyugly]

so, single?

[@cathymadegwa8769]

So beautiful just perfect. Thank you so much for your lovely music. Love Catherine mocha xxxxxxxx 💋💖😊😘🎶🎧

[@Bren-ni9iw]

Nodding and smiling in that ‘yep, I get it’ kinda way. White Ladder saw me thru some mad times ✊

[@rberto3804]

Pre-internet days, kind of...

[@andrewimray337]

He is genuinely brilliant isn't he, white ladder has aged beautifully 👌

[@thegreenberetlife0191]

Probably the best album put out over the last 30 plus years…

[@Monty-kr7py]

When its right, it always is 😊

[@Kboss00]

I’m 19.. somehow I stumbled across David Gray and I’ve gotta say, he’s a top artist for my list of favorite musicians.

[@REZNAP]

CLUNE on drums! This is what I have been waiting for… David’s smile at 5:00 says it all!

[@jeffrogers4221]

This was one of a number of songs that have been meaningful to me and my beloved sweetheart. She passed last month after a 4 year dance with ovarian cancer. Lots of memories that music conjures up at any given moment that remind me of what a gift we were given to be with each other.

[@colincampbell437]

Bless ...

[@sandrea4872]

I'm sorry for your loss ❤

[@johnpercival116]

Memories come flooding back from 23 years ago, ironing my lime green Ben Sherman shirt and white jeans, on a Friday night getting ready to go out, White Ladder playing on the CD player. ❤️ 🥰 👌🏼 🙏🏼 I still have that original CD in the van and listen to it when I get my lift to the Chinese Takeaway on a Saturday night. Goosebumps. 😌

[@REZNAP]

John… a CD player! Remember those?!

[@liamwalters5029]

Lime green bs class everyone had one

[@wayneclark8161]

This is one of my favourite songs, and for it to be played like this live is so emotional for me. Pulls right on my heart strings...personally. what a performance, the best 👊👍

[@Mrbimdrummer]

OMG look who's on drums. Awesome 👍

[@kieranhassett5862]

Nearly brings a tear to the eye to see clune and gray back in Action,it brings back so many great Memories 👍

They need to continue to create their art together… 2 incredible musicians

[@HaidurShah21]

Amen

Amen number two.

[@johnny-yi2oi]

One of the most under-rated talents. Phenomenal.

[@seaandbells]

Define ‘underrated’? White Ladder has sold over 3 million copies and that was back in 2015……was one if the best selling albums of the 2000’s.

[@Innersoul1]

CLUNE is an absolute LEGEND!

[@mojomonkey2123]

This song has so memories for me. Reminds me of being young, care free and going through my Mum's music collection, whilst bunking of school. It reminds me of my first time being in love and not knowing what do. Its melancholy, love, anxiety and calmness all in one song. I come back to it everone in a while; im 37 now now and last listened to it 10 years ago. I can see myself doing that for a lot longer.

[@dbilbie]

Absolutely bloody brilliant

[@berbajim]

What a performance! Love the last 2 minutes. Top selling album of all-time in Ireland. Legend

[@dinahderbyshire965]

My favourite David Gray song! When it played yesterday l was singing it to my one year old grandson. My eyes were filling up, as some of the lyrics seemed so appropriate! Looking forward to the Cardiff show!

[@soapfan2700]

This song always gets me welling up, reminds me of being 21 and all that was going on at that time.

[@jonaspundzius4995]

Absolutely buzzin to see him live again in London!!! Also special mention to Clune🤙 what a special drummer he is. Can’t wait to see them all live again.

[@claremccarron3058]

Clune is a ledge 💜

[@REZNAP]

2 incredible musicians that need to be together forever

[@hoderharris]

Why do I have such a powerful mix of emotions listening to this gorgeous song...

[@koldplayz1]

Because he is a rare, rare talent…

[@Tringlishman1992]

likewise, its the music , instrumentals that is. i think also his flow and his voice, perfect for a song, hes great ! . i love him . im 30 years old now i remember hearing him growing up . my father is whom it reminds me of .

[@andrewlaycock3269]

The drummer is insane!

Perfection by every musician. David thank you for writing this masterpiece

Absolutely beautiful David... still a clear & heartfelt song, as it was in my 20s all those years ago.. thank you, looking forward to ya been in Dublin 😉🌟

I remember hearing this song for the first time, holding my newborn son in my arms and feeling very blessed

[@deanspencer13]

Forgot just how good David Gray is.

[@vickijones8507]

Never

[@youratoolyabass]

Being at uni. Playing pool all days with songs like this in the background. Take me back.

[@pi4630]

The drummer knows his job ❤️

[@Audiorevue]

I've been watching a few different videos of this song and I can't help but notice people's comments are of two varieties, they relate the song and it's emotion to some sort of sad memory they have, or they relate it to some sort of happy memory or time in their life. I think what's beautiful about the best love songs is the fact that they truly portray love as it really is, both deeply saddening and wonderfully beautiful at the same time. having personal love is one of the best things we can ever have, which makes it one of the most wonderful things but what's truly horrible is the fact that no matter how great our love for another is, it's the fact that one day it will end. but it matters not that it ends, I believe it matters more that it happened at all.

[@sharonjoan9997]

Oh Mr Gray!! Melts me with this gentler version! And ignites me at the end of concerts as he closes with high octane version. SUPER FAN OF THIS GANG!!!

[@LorenzoRoccoNaturallyPiano]

His voice is so full of character. The arrangement is stunning. Love it!!!!

[@kevinharper5158]

His voice is amazing and it just keeps getting better...and great to see Clune doing what he does best...

[@fadasmeninas2603]

Oh, my Lord! This version is above perfection. David Gray, thank you! ❤

[@davidclegg2455]

The drummer is on fire

[@johnedwards6215]

I remember seeing him with my wife in a little club off regent street I cannot remember the name of. This song was starting to get some radio time and he was on the verge of breaking through. It was a small little club and we stood up on the balcony almost standing over the top of David sat at his piano. It was just brilliant and one of the best gigs I’ve been lucky enough to see. No flashy lights or sound, just an artist full of soul and energy and doing what came naturally.

[@ThePeterp57]

Even David gray gives an amazed look at the drummer!

[@anni610]

His voice is so distinctive, really looking forward to more from him!

[@coaldust01]

Amazing how certain songs will only work with a certian vocal, His raw rasp he has is just perfect, Some tracks just take you on a journey, Be it joy or pain etc, Absolutely beautiful song that has took me on an emotional rollercoaster many times.

Many years later this song still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!!

[@JustWeeMe1]

I've seen Dave live over 20 times. He's amazing and so humble. I would love to meet him. His music and lyrics have helped me more times than anyone will ever know, especially through when both my parents and my brother passed away. Also at the best times of my life. Thanks Dave! You're an absolute star! See you in Glasgow at the end of May 22 xx

[@paulchristie8648]

Just seen him in Liverpool. He was brilliant as expected. What a great musician. The white ladder album brings back so many good memories for me.

[@final_mile_music9713]

The eyebrow after that drum fill. Was like ‘calm down fella!’ Outrageously good!

It still like chocolate his music, the instrumentals and the memories of what seemed like simpler happier times, back in mid 90's in Dolans in Limerick.
