The song is about the paradox activities in our world. We the people in our industrialized world have blindly bought into the concept that money and consumption is the dream and will give us the nourishment and happiness we need. It's become evident that we are astray from the source of true happiness and yet we still run blindly, FULL STEAM AHEAD -- Despite the conflicts we face with our fellow creatures and the planet itself. We all saw it coming and we still bought it.
Oh ANNIE. I am freaking balling to this song I think I have played it 6 times already and I have shared it with like 6 people on facebook. Its got me shaking like a leaf or a rattled bone. Wondering about peple who are going hungry and war all over. You got me wide awake. Yesterday I was having a rough day and I was thinking, there has to be some light to all my fighting against darkness. And I woke up to the gift of this. Thank you soooo much. sooo much!
That's what I'm saying! I flipped my f'ing lid when this first dropped. Here we are all these years later, and I'm still geeking over it. Peace & Love to you! 🙂
What I love about this song is that while it seems obviously to be about the "demise of western society" because of a financial crisis, the lyrics are open enough to be applied to a relationship between two people. It's a very versatile song, and like a lot of his stuff could be interpreted many ways. That being said, He and Annie Lennox together is a match made in heaven. :)
Hey there music, hope you’re doing well after two years. I absolutely fell in love with David’s “White Ladder” album. I had no idea he had done a duet with Annie L until this randomly came on My ol’ iPod and I recognized her voice.
Can't stop listening to this track two of my favourite Artists together it doesn't get any better than this classic I guess we should have seen it coming
Two of my very, very favorite artists. Classy and amazing as ever. Thank you for existing and being brave enough to share your gifts with this darkening world.
Let us not forget the compassion with which this song was performed, something we all need to learn is that all great nations died because they lost the ability to act with compassion towards those in need ... Peace to David and Annie for this simple act of compassion..
I love how this song came to be. She came knocking on her old recording studio (house?) and turns out David had purchased it. They met, and we were gifted with this beauty.
I am moved so much by this song, Annie Lennox has always been my idol and forever will be, I write music because of you Annie, the two of you together sound great, thank you for this beautiful music.xx
Brilliant song. I would really love to see an album with these two doing more of the same. Definately a number 1 in my book lets hope it gets there. What makes it even better is that even live they were exceptional a faultless performance on Graham Norton.
Everytime I am impressed of the voice of miss Lennox. And this combination with David Gray makes me silent and... hooked. Thanks for making all these beautiful music, both of you.
I first started hearing this on QRadio Birmingham England. Made me seek it out... its so damn addictiive. didnt even know Lennox was singin on it.. what a song...they sound so awesume together...the beat is sooooo different... Annie ur awesume.
These are great lyrics for a great song... and now a great video! Annie, you're still runing full steam ahead in my heart! David, I'm still only discovering your work, but you're great too!! Love ya!!
this song is probably the best song in that way that she has a deep voice with a strong compation in her soul not only to prove that she is the best and a good singer(in a way she is) but she sings it and means it. i love the fact that the money made out of the song goes to good causes
We're talkin the best of the best here......theres not enough rating stars to touch it. 10* and thank you both for all your talents..........peace from Texas...
Heard this song tonight on Graham Norton show........ and i loved it straight away. Then again most of David Grays songs are Brilliant!! Hes got such an amazing voice... Love it. :)
No one ever looks as good in a suit as Annie Lennox - wish she would have gone without the hat though because it covers her head and her beautiful face too much. GREAT song - perfectly matched voices and an interesting video. I really hope this is a HUGE hit. I think they both had fun working together and the chemistry shows both in the video and in the vocal performances. Two very genuine people which is refreshing these days.
Wow.. I love this song it cuts right through me! It's like my perfect duet two of my favourite artist ever singing together. For me, Annie Lennox is second to no one when it comes to female artist and David Gray is an amazing songwriter and performer.. I've seen him 3 times and he is amazing live!
You know you have made it when you manage to duet with Annie Lennox !!!
You know you've made it when you duet with David Gray!
Iliked you bouth@@samuelj.robinson783
@samuelj.robinson783True, but Annie already made it by the time David was shitting green 😂 what a remarkable song though!
This is one of the coolest songs I’ve heard in a long time! Annie Lennox is the goat!😊
Love it what a great combination
I have had a crush on Annie Lennox for 40 years, she is more amazing now than ever.
You can see Annie is loving this song ,throwing herself into every line .
I love performers who sing with passion and conviction, and no one does that better than Annie Lennox and David Grey!

I've been a David Gray fan since I first heard his track "Babylon" over 10 years ago. I adore Annie Lennox.

@@bugpal I cant believe i first came across him back in 2002, 20 years now, times flown by. Got his albums on a memory stick thats in my car.
Amazing collaboration they compliment each other perfectly.
Two great voices coming together for an awesome song.
Annie lennox and david grey did it again a master piece...
I
Annie Lennox's dancing reminds me of my dad at weddings...
Then pick up a few tips, his time in the sun had the BEST music. Respect young ‘Un.

James Greene Absolutely totally brilliant duet ... Made for each other
Musically and lyrically this song is brilliant
I'll never forget when I took photos of Annie Lennox in concert!
Nothing makes me realize the passage of time more than learning that songs that are still fresh in my head are actually 10, 15, 20, 30 years old.
I’ve never heard a MORE PERFECT collaboration!!! They were both born to exist and feel and hear at the the same time
From 2019. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. No better duo, ever. And, truth, aye? 3AM, indeed, :/ What perfect voices.
Lisa Lee Could not agree more... Top marks ..the passion is amazing..they are awesome together aren't they ??

They both look and sound fabulous here,
This is a fantastic song, it's grown on me a lot - didn't really like it the first time, but David Gray is the one who makes it.
I love Annie--David Gray become famous with that one song--then all the others sounded same--this duet is very cool.
I just love this....
Respectfully disagree, in regards to your comment stating that all of Mr. Gray's songs sound the same.
William Sullivan He has a low vocal range. That’s the ONLY way I’d EVER describe him as ‘samey’
It didn't for me at first but now I'm addicted. Keep coming back to it. It'll happen.
This blows me away! God I love her passion.
this brings me to tears
this song is probably the best song in that way that she has a deep voice with a strong compation in her soul not only to prove that she is the best and a good singer(in a way she is) but she sings it and means it. i love the fact that the money made out of the song goes to good causes
2 top vocalists right there 💥💥💥💥
We're talkin the best of the best here......theres not enough rating stars to touch it. 10* and thank you both for all your talents..........peace from Texas...
Wow ..... My two favourite vocalist .. They are made for each other.xxxx
2020? Gorgeous tune.
Loved it! Very good lyrics, and excellent performances from both Annie and David. Thank you!
beautiful song...
annie lennox is definitely very theatrical. mastery of her body. she gets me moved.
Heard this song tonight on Graham Norton show........ and i loved it straight away. Then again most of David Grays songs are Brilliant!! Hes got such an amazing voice... Love it. :)
Excellent
Gray could not have found a better person to be in this song. Annie is PERFECT for it!!
I have loved DG since 1984. I'm still in love with that soulful voice and amazing song writing. Yet again an amazing song! Keep it coming!
It's rare - that a song captivates me like that ! Great !!!
Great duet :-)
Love them both!
fantastic song. Great to see Lenox back in the light. David Gray has to be one of the most underated talents out there these days IMO.
gotta love those two!!! Annie is amazing but David is so pure and genius!! What am i saying...This is THE duet!!!!!
No one ever looks as good in a suit as Annie Lennox - wish she would have gone without the hat though because it covers her head and her beautiful face too much.
