David Gray - Sail Away Live Hammersmith Apollo 2005

David Gray performing Sail Away, recorded live at Hammersmith Apollo London 2005

[@ForeverBooked92]

I grew up listening to David Gray. He was my mums favourite artist . She took her own life when I was 15 and I chose this song to be played at her funeral. I couldn’t listen to it for at least 5 years after that. Since then I’ve been to see him live and have tickets to see him again this year. This song will forever hold the most meaning to me out of any song ever written ❤️ -update …. I went to the concert this week. It was amazing and filled with lots of emotion but also a lot of smiles and memories. Thank you all for your kind comments, they have been heartwarming ❤️

Music is such a powerful emotion - treasure the memory... my mother died in 2020 at the height of the first lockdown, I was unable to be with her, but I will always remember the music she wanted at her funeral...

A massively, MASSIVELY underrated artist

[@JohnSmith-hm5pk]

There is no such thing really.

[@racey1979]

@@JohnSmith-hm5pk There is no such thing as what ? An underrated artist ?

[@JohnSmith-hm5pk]

Those who know music, they will know to appreciate him. Some more, some less, some for the emotion, some for the phenomenon. Others though?? They do not matter.

Wow, KZbin has some crazy comments, these tragic stories. So sorry. My late mother loved his music as did I. All my family died before I was 40. I’m 41 now. Just browsing with some wine. The Queens death got me thinking of loved ones. The pain never eases but time lessens it slightly. All the best to you! ✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands Sail away with me honey now, now, now Sail away with me What will be will be I want to hold you now, now, now Crazy skies all wild above me now Winter howling at my face And everything I held so dear Disappeared without a trace Oh all the times I've tasted love Never knew quite what I had Little darling if you hear me now Never needed you so bad Spinning 'round inside my head Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands Sail away with me honey now, now, now Sail away with me What will be will be I want to hold you now, now, now I've been talking drunken gibberish Falling in and out of bars Trying to get some explanation here For the way some people are How did it ever come so far? Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands Sail away with me honey now, now, now Sail away with me What will be will be I want to hold you now, now, now Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands Sail away with me honey now, now, now Sail away with me What will be will be I want to hold you now, now, now Sail away with me honey I put my heart in your hands It'd break me up if you pulled me down, whoa Sail away with me What will be will be I want to hold you now, now, now Source: LyricFind Songwriters: David (gb2) Gray

Of all the times I’ve tasted love. When you’re older and miss EVEN those. The people that weren’t amazing but pretty close. Cuz now there’s nothing close at all? B/c you’re so done inside and it seems like the “before” was all a dream almost. To whatever it is you’re alive for here so alone? The before rawness like this one …this guy.. “This one” my grandma would say pointing to the TV or someone in room before else died - or to a picture. A good one. That one. Thanks David Gray
