This song cut me to the heart while at the same time it lifted my spirits by affirming we all have enemies/life occurrences which at times let us know that we all are on the same boat/earth and that no one is above another person; we all bleed the same. Thank God for David Gray.

I saw him play this at another venue years ago, with the same acoustic portion at the end. I've never seen anything like it, at the end, the whole audience just sat there for a few seconds in silence. Then, we slowly started into applause that went on for a long time. Amazing.

Very seldom are live versions even as good as the recorded version,but I dare say this extended version is better than the one on the CD..great back and forth guitar play between them

someone once told me that if you want to grab an audience by the feels, minor chords are the key. We resonate to them, apparently. And it seems that many of David Gray's songs are heavy on those minor chords...not, you understand, that i'm complaining...I once drove to a writer's conference in Iowa City, and my CDs were all David Gray and Bos Seger. No regrets.

August 11th, 2023 in this world,,, And this is still just pure magic!! Always will be. I saw him with my girl at this time and to this day we are very good friends and honestly, I’m trying to get her back because I miss her and I messed up with drugs and alcohol, but I’m not that same man and a little after ten years, I’m still trying to prove to her that I’ve changed, for the better. So wish me luck world, because I think she’s thinking and willing to try again with me!!!

Neath an avalanche Soft as moss I'm a creeping-in, intangible sense of loss I'm the memory you can't get out your head If I leave you now You'll wish you were somewhere else instead I'm the manta ray I'm the louse I am the photograph They found in your burned down house I'm the sound of money washing down the drain I am the pack of lies The baby that keeps you sane, hey Gates of heaven are open wide God help me baby I'm trapped inside Feel like I'm buried alive I'm, I'm the bottom line Of the joke I'm in ecstasy Spilling like bright egg-yolk I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share And I am the smell of it You're trying to wash out of your hair Gates of heaven are open wide God help me baby I'm lost inside Feels like I'm buried alive The possibilities limitless Just give me something that's more than this One shot and I'll never miss Yes I'm the babe that sleeps Through the Blitz I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else I am your nemesis Baby I'm life sweet life itself 💙

What’s the one secret or the one truth that you keep locked away in your farthest depths? This song pulls that to the surface and makes you question if you could go back in time with another chance, would you take it? “I’m your one true love that sleeps with someone else. I am your nemesis. Baby I’m life, sweet life itself.”

No artist makes me happier, I most certainly am a David Gray wanna be who also realizes that's not quite the right "Dream" - I should say he most inspires me to be unafraid to be who I am, he's being his natural self, sharing raw emotion with his audience - musicians and reat singers are today's true healers. They provide food for our starving souls, at least mine ;)
