This was my wedding song in 2003. My spouse passed away in 2006 and when I hear this song I picture his handsome face and smile. It brings me back and is painful but yet comforting. He had a rare cancer and passed at 32 years young. Today would have been my husbands 48th birthday and I thought I would listen to this song with our 16 year old son.
My mom died in 2014 and her ashes are in a box next to my stepdad’s on my boat. I’m honestly thinking about sprinkling them into the Chesapeake everywhere we travel in our boat. They absolutely LOVED being on the water and would be so proud of me and our boat. I miss them both so much too!
I've been listening to David Gray for more than 22 years, and always the same sensation and the same pleasure of listening to him, sublime voice, complete artist, he is simply a legend. Big greeting from Morocco.
Well intentioned but a dopey comment nonetheless. Notoriously difficult to get on the ladder as an artist and yet VERY easy to get the shaft by the companies and slippery b'stards. Great music doesn't come into the equation so much.
I like his music a lot but re:songwriting he's done a few covers...his version of Say hello and wave goodbye is the best version ever, I'm sure many can relate to the song, especially with his emotion put to it...
Once I had a broken heart... Played this tune for months whilst looking at the world through drunken glazed eyes. I listen to it now with a true love beside me whilst we look at sunsets over the Atlantic living on the west coast of Ireland 🍀 Thanks Dave
Rest I'm peace to my mother who passed in 2018 when I was only 12. This was a song we sang together many times... I'm now turning 17 in November and I've crawled out of a serious hell of coping with the loss. I was forced moved to a new school with much better peers and I've changed and matured a lot. I wish she was here to see where I am now. I miss you mom
I get you buddy, i lost my love my wife my blood brother after 52 years together, have seen a good part of the world together and always looking what was hiding behind the horizon for us . we were not done with living, but you have to go on and we will always miss our loved ones . be strong.
Played this song at my ex partner's funeral 2 days ago. He was the father of my 2 children and will always hold a special place in my heart. God bless you Sean. RIP.
Reading all these comments from people sharing their experiences and personal relationship with this song. Life is just about our experiences. This is me reminding myself to be happy and not care about things that don't matter. Love yourself as you are because there is only one you in this world. Be good to others not because they are good but because you are.
What a great time. It was to be living in. I miss those days. Over 40. it's all f***** from now :( Any younger folks in here? Just go for it my friends! Do it! Whatever you love. As the world has less love now. get it while you can :)
My mum loved this song I lost her when I was 8 she was only 27, little darling if you hear me now, never needed you so bad 🙏🏻 forever reminds me of her ❤️
I’m a 36 year old man, my favourite song since I was 16 for no reason, but since my mother’s recent passing this song has purpose, it has meaning, it’s deep so please if you have dear ones please spend as much time with them as you can be so time waits for none of us, god bless and keep safe 💚
Just heard this song on the radio for the first time. So moved by it I had to come here to look it up and find out who the artist is. I am blown away by this talent called David Gray.
My dad committed suicide on Valentine's Day when I was 16! that was 15 years ago!this was played at he's funeral, when I listen to this song it makes it feel like it was yesterday! Amazing what music does R.I.P dad x
One of mine, and didn't even know it, haha. Richard Hawley "The Ocean" seems an appropriate song to follow now whilst soaking in a muscle relaxing bath after footy :D .. Peace!!
My husband had committed suicide 26 months ago, we had two small children at the time. Arabella had just turned 1 the month before and Marc Paul was turning 3 the month after.. but my son loves this song because it was mine and his daddy song, and it's his favorite
This was played at my mothers funeral 5 months ago.. this is the first time I've listened to it since.. can't help but shed a tear.. special song for a special person.
Kyle, If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. I will never understand God’s reasons for taking you but son, one day we will sail away together for eternity. Lifetimes of Love, Mom
This song is on another level! The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful... that lovely shake in his voice always gets me... and he puts his every emotion to this! Gives me all the feels..shivers!!!!
Went to a funeral today and this song was played. I'd forgotten what a beautiful song it is so have added it to a playlist so I will not forget it again
Could this guy be one of the most underestimated artist of our era? No gimmicks, no platform shoes, no ziggy make up on his face, not to decry those who done that. They were very good. But this guy's just bread & butter, very good bread & butter. I feel like I could go out for a pint with him anytime, he has no hint of star ego. + I like freshly baked bread & butter, with maybe some strawberry jam, who doesn't?
My father had this song played at his funeral lost his battle with brain cancer I look at all the similar comments my heart goes out to anyone who has experienced loss as I grieve every day it's been 7 years feels like yesterday
Here in 2020 locked down and still wanting and waiting for the love of my life to come back to me. I'm waiting. I may die waiting for her but I will wait. Peace
@@jennyperrio4887 That is so beautiful and kind. It is hard and you are right. I should move on. I just don't seem to be able to. Thank you for the kind thoughts and words. I pray you find happiness too.

This song played at my big sister's funeral, she passed away at 47, it took me 2 years to hear it again, I wish she could be here with me now, she loved this song and heard it at the end.... 😔
My husband and I went to ireland 15 years ago and we've heard about many Great musicians and David gray was one of them .we've instantly fell on love with his music ❤️
Dont know why, but i love to depress myself with songs that relate to my past experiences of love/loss etc, sometimes that little bit of the connection that is left with memories the song brings is hard to let go because its all thats left, still better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all...
My momma passed away three and a half months ago. I was in the middle of trying to get all of the arrangements done. I was coming to a halt with everything and this song came on. I had heard it many times, but it never felt so strong in the emotions in the loss of her passing. I played this at her service. This song I will for ever be greatful for you . Thank you, much love.
My Nan passed last week she brought me up. Haven’t grieved properly till I heard this song. Beautiful song it’s her funeral on the 17th I’m makeing sure this song gets played.
Beautiful; reminds me of Dad. When I was at my older sister's wedding this June and she did her father daughter dance with my dad, to a country song she chose, I thought to myself what would I choose? And I decided most likely David Grays Babylon because that song sticks out from my childhood with my father, but this is an amazing choice too. I just remember growing up listening to this man's unique voice and the way it made me feel so light and free. I also contemplated maybe Tracy Chapman's Fast Car.... I went to my first concert at Wolf Trap with my dad, we saw Tracy Chapman. We snuck in McDonald's cheeseburgers in our back pack. Ah, what a lovely time. I was about 10 or 11 years old. Thanks dad.
This shit honestly makes me break down every damn time I listen to it, the depth, the beauty, yet all the pain in this song is, just indescribably beautiful
I'm 16 and I appreciate this music so much. I have heard it through my Dad and find it incredible. All my friends go off and listen to their modern music that I don't really like, however each to their own. This music is absolutely phenomenal and I love to listen to the older bands also like Pink Floyd. The closest modern artist have come to this greatness is through Ben Howard and Bon Iver. I recommend you to listen to a few of their songs each.
I'm also 16 and hated his music when I was little. I will always have the question in my head to why I hated his music. My Mom always played this song during dinner and I'd say "turn it off, its terrible".But now I got over 40 of his songs on my IPod to listen to when I feel like calming down or relaxing. A true Legend he is.
+Stormyy yeah I got guys at school doing drugs and sagging pants playing their loud crap rap and I just really want to play David Gray for everybody at an assembly so they can hopefully convert to David's music.
+Garrett Annis it is a strange music choice for people our age. However I just let people get on with their own music. There must be something I'm missing with the whole rap stuff, not such a great fan of it personally.
+Stormyy you 2 me sound like one of the smartest 16 yr old around .I love floyd going 2check out Ben & Bon . yer Dad sounds pretty smart 2 We say no music no soul . wish u the best me
This is such a beautiful song. Listening to it takes me to bittersweet memories of both of my mom and dad who are no longer with me. I miss them both so much. Not a day goes by that I don't cry for them. They say that the pain goes away but it's a lie. It never does. My dad died early this year and I was not ready to let him go. God knows how hard I fight to keep him alive but in the end God had a better plan for him. It just hurts me soo much that I can't see him anymore. Tell him that I love him and give him daily hugs. My heart is so broken.
So sorry about your grandfather... heartbreaking. I lost my father 2 years ago... the hurt never leaves... certain songs almost drag me to my knees if I listen to them that remind me of my pops... we have to remember the good times... what else can we do... no options. appreciate everything... people you love..
I can't sleep tonight - I lost my mom Sept.1st and the agony is worse as each day goes by. Yes, my heart is torn in bits. We were best friends. No regrets, no guilt. She was a real pip. Trying to be strong. But I miss her so.
Talking drunken gibberish , falling in and out of bars, recovering alcoholic had a moment of clarity 24 years ago in Dublin b 4 he had a hit. This guy was singing my song xxx
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
What a song...that evokes so many memories...The good the bad & the ugly... That's life...people change...life's takes a different path...for me ...one chapter closed a far better one has opened...
We played this at our wedding in Hyde Park Sydney, outdoor wedding under a chapel of Paperbark trees, with our closest friends and family with us. Never forget that moment
It was 2006, and I working the Sturgis bike rally...i was 19, a long way from home, and my first real experience at life outside of my bubble....i knew that day I was going to work the parking lot for a bar in town, so of course i came prepared...arm straped mp3 player and headphones! Only the 40yo's can relate to that statement....I had downloaded all my music that i stole from morpheus and limewire, and loaded that mp3 player up before i left out of Dallas....i was jamming in that parking lot to probably seether or puddle of mud when all of a suddon this song came on...i knew this wasnt my music, so it immediately got me questioning! That, of course, was 2nd to how great this song was, and how much it was needed at that time. That summer was full of ups and downs, and this song just kind of put that all to rest for about 3mins....long story short, my mother's music collection ended up on my playlist, which indirectly ended up on my mp3 player...my moms been gone now for 4 years and everytime i hear a david gray song i think of her and that summer of 06'...shes gone now but i know its only temporary
This is what Music should be! Lyrics that take your mind away or towards whatever emotion/memory your feeling needs to be explored! For me a man of 28 who lost his father when I was 11 and mother to cancer 2 days before my 21st... they both used this in there times of happiness and when feeling sad! I use it in the same manor to help with certain memories and emotions! David Gray will be in my life!
not sure if you're serious, but Ive just had this chat with a friend. My best friend topped himself when we were 19. He didnt give talking a chance. There's always a glimmer of light, just make the effort to see it, even if it only gives you a day. That might be enough for the fog to lift. I hope you're ok @@melv8948

Falling in out of bars
One of the few British artists who didn’t sell their soul
That's why he's not a superstar.... He wasn't 4 sale.. Great singer ♥️✌🏼
Well intentioned but a dopey comment nonetheless. Notoriously difficult to get on the ladder as an artist and yet VERY easy to get the shaft by the companies and slippery b'stards. Great music doesn't come into the equation so much.
David Gray is so underrated its not funny, his songs are pure and from the heart, this is REAL music.
I agree with you. I feel the same about the late Clifford T Ward and his songs. 😔
He did not sell his soul, like others do. I love him for that.
@@brightantwerp You took the words right out of mine (and probably so many people's) mouth these days.
Thank God for real music!!!
Think it was meant that he deserved a bit more credit,probably didn't suck up to the people running the music industry. God Bless.🙏
To all the people who have lost themselves and not only close loved one. This one’s for you too.
Thank you
David Gray is so underrated.What a brilliant songwriter and artist he is.

Could this guy be one of the most underestimated artist of our era?
No gimmicks, no platform shoes, no ziggy make up on his face, not to decry those who done that. They were very good.
But this guy's just bread & butter, very good bread & butter. I feel like I could go out for a pint with him anytime, he has no hint of star ego. + I like freshly baked bread & butter, with maybe some strawberry jam, who doesn't?

This is one of the greatest songs of the 90s, David Gray is so under rated. Just so unique! So many memories with this song.

I bought my first album in 2000. It was David Gray White ladder. I've listened to it hundreds of times.
Great first album, class 👍
This was my wedding song too in 2005 and it’s 20th Anniversary next year and we are stronger than ever ❤❤❤❤❤❤
As he stated to whistling. I was completely vanished in my childhood nostalgia I don't know how😇😇😇 really it's happened with me. Thank you so much 🥰
I've cried to this so many times, I'll never tire of this song ❤️
😢
Me too
Beautiful; reminds me of Dad. When I was at my older sister's wedding this June and she did her father daughter dance with my dad, to a country song she chose, I thought to myself what would I choose? And I decided most likely David Grays Babylon because that song sticks out from my childhood with my father, but this is an amazing choice too. I just remember growing up listening to this man's unique voice and the way it made me feel so light and free. I also contemplated maybe Tracy Chapman's Fast Car.... I went to my first concert at Wolf Trap with my dad, we saw Tracy Chapman. We snuck in McDonald's cheeseburgers in our back pack. Ah, what a lovely time. I was about 10 or 11 years old. Thanks dad.
What a great memory
This is so god damn beautiful
+Ida-lee Strand I 2nd that.

Ida-lee Strand too rite

Of course.
True songs never die.
Dead Zone Amen man yes sir
Great songs will stand the test of time ❤❤❤❤
Dead Zone obviously we are David doesn’t go out of fashion
This shit honestly makes me break down every damn time I listen to it, the depth, the beauty, yet all the pain in this song is, just indescribably beautiful
I'm 16 and I appreciate this music so much. I have heard it through my Dad and find it incredible. All my friends go off and listen to their modern music that I don't really like, however each to their own. This music is absolutely phenomenal and I love to listen to the older bands also like Pink Floyd. The closest modern artist have come to this greatness is through Ben Howard and Bon Iver. I recommend you to listen to a few of their songs each.
I'm also 16 and hated his music when I was little. I will always have the question in my head to why I hated his music. My Mom always played this song during dinner and I'd say "turn it off, its terrible".But now I got over 40 of his songs on my IPod to listen to when I feel like calming down or relaxing. A true Legend he is.
+Garrett Annis Agreed. Always listening to it. Absolutely love his music. So different to the usual shit you get today
+Stormyy yeah I got guys at school doing drugs and sagging pants playing their loud crap rap and I just really want to play David Gray for everybody at an assembly so they can hopefully convert to David's music.
+Garrett Annis it is a strange music choice for people our age. However I just let people get on with their own music. There must be something I'm missing with the whole rap stuff, not such a great fan of it personally.
+Stormyy you 2 me sound like one of the smartest 16 yr old around .I love floyd going 2check out Ben & Bon . yer Dad sounds pretty smart 2 We say no music no soul . wish u the best me
This is such a beautiful song. Listening to it takes me to bittersweet memories of both of my mom and dad who are no longer with me. I miss them both so much. Not a day goes by that I don't cry for them. They say that the pain goes away but it's a lie. It never does. My dad died early this year and I was not ready to let him go. God knows how hard I fight to keep him alive but in the end God had a better plan for him. It just hurts me soo much that I can't see him anymore. Tell him that I love him and give him daily hugs. My heart is so broken.
Take care,never give up.
Absolutely beautiful song. I can listen to it over and over and never grow tired of it. Definitely one of my faves of all time.
It's amazing just how much color that tamborine hit gives to the entire oldschool sound. Great number!
A truly beautiful song, melancholy yet full of hope, passion and longing.
An intense song, he was deep in his growing pains as we all are for a while...beautiful song
So sorry about your grandfather... heartbreaking. I lost my father 2 years ago... the hurt never leaves... certain songs almost drag me to my knees if I listen to them that remind me of my pops... we have to remember the good times... what else can we do... no options. appreciate everything... people you love..
I can't sleep tonight - I lost my mom Sept.1st and the agony is worse as each day goes by. Yes, my heart is torn in bits. We were best friends. No regrets, no guilt. She was a real pip. Trying to be strong. But I miss her so.
Laurie B

So stripped down but yet so strong and powerful!
Who are these people that gave this thumbs down? A wonderful song sung by a great artist
Tears are uncontrollable
Wow, such a beautiful voice. You are amazing.
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
Your writing of the song is magnificent, thank you, I really enjoyed it
This is one of my new favorite songs! I just heard it for the first time yesterday and I absolutely love it!
Babylon.
@@Johnthemanc22Thank you! I just got done listening to it. Yes, that was a nice song also!
You're very welcome Maryann. 😀
@@maryann237 Hello how are you doing today..?
Where have you been all these years
Absolutely beautiful song ! Loved it first time! ❤
Me too .
What a song...that evokes so many memories...The good the bad & the ugly...
That's life...people change...life's takes a different path...for me ...one chapter closed a far better one has opened...
We played this at our wedding in Hyde Park Sydney, outdoor wedding under a chapel of Paperbark trees, with our closest friends and family with us. Never forget that moment
It was 2006, and I working the Sturgis bike rally...i was 19, a long way from home, and my first real experience at life outside of my bubble....i knew that day I was going to work the parking lot for a bar in town, so of course i came prepared...arm straped mp3 player and headphones! Only the 40yo's can relate to that statement....I had downloaded all my music that i stole from morpheus and limewire, and loaded that mp3 player up before i left out of Dallas....i was jamming in that parking lot to probably seether or puddle of mud when all of a suddon this song came on...i knew this wasnt my music, so it immediately got me questioning! That, of course, was 2nd to how great this song was, and how much it was needed at that time. That summer was full of ups and downs, and this song just kind of put that all to rest for about 3mins....long story short, my mother's music collection ended up on my playlist, which indirectly ended up on my mp3 player...my moms been gone now for 4 years and everytime i hear a david gray song i think of her and that summer of 06'...shes gone now but i know its only temporary
Ты хорош .😮
Желаю тебе всего хорошего . ДЕРЖИСЬ ! Не расстраивайся , главное , братан ❤❤
This is what Music should be! Lyrics that take your mind away or towards whatever emotion/memory your feeling needs to be explored! For me a man of 28 who lost his father when I was 11 and mother to cancer 2 days before my 21st... they both used this in there times of happiness and when feeling sad! I use it in the same manor to help with certain memories and emotions!
David Gray will be in my life!
Raise your hand if you hear this in 2024 👍
Depression is defeating me I don't have much more in me, I'm tired.
@@melv8948 Ano you don't know me but you have so much to live for please don't give up
@@melv8948don't give up. Listen to the song. It will save you. You are strong. Someone out there needs you.
not sure if you're serious, but Ive just had this chat with a friend. My best friend topped himself when we were 19. He didnt give talking a chance. There's always a glimmer of light, just make the effort to see it, even if it only gives you a day. That might be enough for the fog to lift.
I hope you're ok
