David Gray - Please Forgive Me (Official Audio)

[@ravendixon1099]

David Gray never got the recognition he deserved. He is one of the best singer songwriters

[@jamesbyrne9312]

he did

[@Vinnyhy]

He did in Ireland from the start

[@nancydonoghue4319]

I think he's made his mark

[@Philip_Taylor]

He did fine, I had so many great times listening to him on mainstream radio in the back of the car when I was a child. I thank this guy for those memories. What he never did was sell out or water down his own personal way of being for success.

I’ve just lost my mum , she was far too young and beautiful . This is my childhood . My mum cooking us tea and David Gray playing in the kitchen . Her funeral is next Friday and at the moment David Gray is keeping me going through my quiet and sad times 💙 I love you mum xxxxxx

Literally every song is a memory and a feeling. He is one of the greatest singers and songwriters. 25+ years later and this is still a favorite.

[@evanmurphy9517]

Can't listen without tearing up atleast once. One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. Criminally underrated.

[@TanukiSC]

That’s so so so spot on. I listened to this album on repeat as my brother and I drove through Scotland on a long golf trip. Now I listen and I am back in that car…just he and I again. Laughter and tears at the same time. How I miss him. DG was his favorite artist…just glad we got to see him live a couple of times together. I hope the memories and feelings you get from listening are as happy as the times we had when we did.

David, I want to thank you for this amazing album. There will be a time though, where, I have to leave it in the past. It has helped me deal with tremendous levels of emotional dismay, sadness and reparation for the want to leave the planet. I'm going to come back a lot stronger soon and I'll probably have to to put your music in the 'collection'. It's not not for wanting to listen, it's just moving on. I'm sure you get what I'm saying.

[@andrewdevine6333]

Back when this album came out I was working in a restaurant in Galway, Ireland. My fellow waiting staff played it incessantly. At the time I was young and a music snob and recoiled against anything that was then currently popular. Although for popular modern music I didn't think David Gray was terrible. However, because he was popular I couldn't properly open my ears to what I have over the past few years come to appreciate is one of the best popular music albums of all time. It is an exquisite work of aural beauty. As a lover of Soul music this album just oozes raw emotion. It is perfection.
