Speaking only for myself, I much prefer the first version. It was far more creative and fun, both. I don't know why it's not still out here and available.
seriously one of my all time favorite songs.. words cannot express how amazing this entire album is.. it's autumnal.. it perfectly fits the cool weather months ☺️
This song makes me think of a really shity relationship I had with an a****** from Liverpool in 2005 but now makes me think I'm lucky to have a great relationship in 2019, let go of your heart let go of your head. Fucking right!!!
I'm 15 years young and I a'm listening to this kind of music. I hate all the modern R&B and Rap music and I love this kind of muic. I can't get enough of it
2019 February 11th You dam right!!! This song still remains A classic..I love David Gray..i got about 50 Songs on my phone.. That are all epic to me.. Babylon is when I first Discovered mr gray...
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song - I still love it as much as the first time I heard it. I've seen David in concert twice now and the way he can switch from different instruments is amazing. A truely talented man.
This goes out to the young man with tomorrow in his eyes. You knew I fell for you the moment we met. and you took away all the pain of a life I was never meant to have. You might never have known that knowing you saved me-I now you will laugh, but I know I regret not one second I spent with you-I hope one day we can pick up where we left off. I love you so much Ethan.
to ed m and others........................this an enlightened piece with a driving backbeat that keeps the song on-track and takes you with it...........if someone was born to do a song then David G, this was your moment and will continue to be as long as it's played...............different strokes for different folks..........this is goooood music!
Always loved this song. And it's one of those Memory Association songs for me, one of my greatest friends and I shared a parting moment... one the seperated us for over a decade until I returned from my first Tour in Iraq... sitting in her car while this song played!
David Gray's one of those artists that I loved to death and somehow neglected for a few years. Now I'm falling in love with his music all over again and it feels awesome!
I never realized this was filmed in North Beach/Little Italy in San Francisco! Jack Kerouac Street is two blocks from my job. Great song, still holds up, fantastic drumming and the line “The love that I was giving you was never in doubt” is such an earnest lyric anyone can relate to.
Superb version - knocks the other into the middle of next week. That three-note repeated synth is legendary, and the drummer is on some kind of early 90s old skool SL2-esque trip (check DJs Take Control) the way he patterns the percussion - fantastic.
Lyrics Part 3 Sunday all the lights of London Shining , Sky is fading red to blue I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves And wondering where it is you might be going to Turning back for home You know I'm feeling so alone I can't believe Climbing on the stair I turn around to see you smiling there In front of me
As a fellow 54 year old man I can tell you that I truly understand what you're saying. I think we don't always have to know why a song touches us; we just need to know that nit does.
edmasterson - you are so right. I have a musician and songwriter in my family and it isn't as easy as this talented man appears to be. Not much in talent these days without digging deep. True talent writes, plays and can sing live without lipsync.
amazing. they used to play it at my work all the time but I was always too occupied with the grind to really hear it. now it's on a whole new level. that's all we gotta do; let go of our hearts, head, and just feel.
obwohl der song schon älter ist - immer wenn ich ihn höre (viel zu selten!!!), bekomm ich gänsehaut und liebe diesen song immer wieder aufs neue. es gibt viel zu wenige solcher klasse songs, die einem aus dem herzen sprechen!!!!
they use his music on ALOT of television shows.....for mood music. and no one ever can say who the artist is!!!! i love him! i wish he was more popular here but i discovered him while i was living in the UK
As a 54 year old man, this song makes me believe there is some corner in everyone's heart that holds onto all that teenage angst that haunts us when we are young. I like this song for no apparent reason as it isn't relevant to me in any obvious way.
i can remember being in high school and I was on the basketball team... and even though i was pretty good for some reason i used to get really nervous about embarassing myself or something like that... anyways it was by far my biggest worry back then lol... anyways i can remember vividly listening to this song in the back of my dad's car and for some reason everything clicked... and i know its a love song but for some reason the let go of your head part really made feel like..who cares goodtune
My wedding song.....17 years later and the love is still never in doubt. x
Good choice sir!
I actually prefer this version to the other . I love this song.
Speaking only for myself, I much prefer the first version. It was far more creative and fun, both. I don't know why it's not still out here and available.
Babylon II is the better version.
Is this song in Spotify?@@FJC464
This is still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It never, ever gets old.

....for crying out loud....this performance is the most inspiring....to be there, to watch David Grey perform...he had the audience crying out loud.

you ever pick up where you left off?

His drummer is a Madman !!!
Lindsay Thomas , pure musical talents are often seen as madmen! #McClune #genius
"Was"..he is not with him anymore
He looks like Kramer from Seinfeld
love him :)
...just keep singing David Gray, ...Just keep singing.
You somehow, keep it Simple, and Real. Beautiful.!
Love this song. Brilliant. Singer and songwriter. Thanks for posting this.
This Year's Love is one of my favourite songs, but I heard this on TV and realised how much I missed it. Can't believe how old these songs are.
just a great tune that makes you happy to think about past relations the beauty of HANGING OUT IN LONDON JUST A TIME TO REFLECT Cheers!
This song crosses over generations....I'm old enough to be his mother and I love the energy in this song and in Gray.
TREMENDOUS!!!!
His drummer is a Madman !!!
i can play this over and over again beautiful song. i agree the drumer the man. thanks for posting video. David thanks for the music.
The synth background music makes this song so perfect.
It has that Phil Collins “Take Me Home” sound
Superb version - knocks the other into the middle of next week.
That three-note repeated synth is legendary, and the drummer is on some kind of early 90s old skool SL2-esque trip (check DJs Take Control) the way he patterns the percussion - fantastic.
Saw him in concert a couple of years ago & can honestly say it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Fantastic!
Time Less Song..... IT REALLY Does Remind you of good old days no matter when it was..its just the song that does it.
As a drummer, I can appreciate the extra flare the drummer puts into it. He is wacked out, I mean he is absolutely sick. (it's a good thing).
this song always use to make me happy at 6:00 pm after break from the work during the summer never will forget the moments ...great song
I actually prefer this version to the other . I love this song.
Top tune
Ah Mr Gray, pure legend of a song, one of my favs - WithoutUHere
Ah Mr Gray, pure legend of a song, one of my favs - WithoutUHere
A soulful ballard. Ten years ago, times were so different, even then.
love love love this song! his voice, the guitar, everything! wonderful!
Why is this version not on Spotify? Its so much better! 😢
Lyrics Part 3
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining , Sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me
Brill artist, great song..one of the best from david...have all his albums..saw him in 2002!! wot a nite!!
This song always makes me feel like everythings going to be ok, and that i can believe things will get better .
"Let go of your heart, let go of your head..." Brilliant gift. THX! :)
yep, still puts a lump in my throat, truly fantastic.
As a fellow 54 year old man I can tell you that I truly understand what you're saying. I think we don't always have to know why a song touches us; we just need to know that nit does.
... brilliant song and an audience full of admiring babes ... he's got it made!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!
This was originally released 99' but was remade 2000. Great 90's song!!
I remember when this came out .. it was such a good time! This one and 'please forgive me' an 'be mine'...Reminds me of the good ol meyth days
Once I saw this video, all i can say is KUDOS Mr Gray...Your song is the absolute best.
Came out the same time I had my 1st truly healthy adult relationship. No wonder I had to stop, watch and listen anytime this video came on TV.
One of the beast songs of all time! 5/5
edmasterson - you are so right. I have a musician and songwriter in my family and it isn't as easy as this talented man appears to be. Not much in talent these days without digging deep. True talent writes, plays and can sing live without lipsync.
this song just gets me going ... great tune, solid lyrics,.. much better than the original version
:( memories
His drummer is a Madman !!!
i do love this song, david is a good songwriter and good singer too.thanks for this
you are true..Now a days there's no demand for good songs like this one....seems good times are gone for Music
I loved the song when I was 13. I remember I bought the cd. My friends at school liked gangster rap. I was the oddball who loved this type of music
This is a great song. One of my all time favorites.
David Gray what else can I say. Somebody's that geared towards hip hop and beats this cat hit this one..... Big ups....
Great 90s song. Brings up nostalgia.
amazing. they used to play it at my work all the time but I was always too occupied with the grind to really hear it.
now it's on a whole new level. that's all we gotta do; let go of our hearts, head, and just feel.
it's impossible to feel down when you hear this
Ah Mr Gray, pure legend of a song, one of my favs - WithoutUHere
His drummer is a Madman !!!
obwohl der song schon älter ist - immer wenn ich ihn höre (viel zu selten!!!), bekomm ich gänsehaut und liebe diesen song immer wieder aufs neue. es gibt viel zu wenige solcher klasse songs, die einem aus dem herzen sprechen!!!!
I love the honesty of this song...
My top ten of favourite songs has this as number 1
they use his music on ALOT of television shows.....for mood music. and no one ever can say who the artist is!!!! i love him! i wish he was more popular here but i discovered him while i was living in the UK
