David Gray - Life In Slow Motion

[puddingdan]

This album is truely phenomenal, it's just massive but it doesn't go overboard or lose that feeling, happily as well it's not even been underrated as every critic - even though we don't always necessarily like them - loved it, I just kept forgetting to say! I'd think others feel the same so Ii'm gonna put up the lyrics for one of the songs which is beautifully atmospheric and I'd say with this album as well it's not about the lyrics as much as some past stuff has been it's more about how they work with the music, which I know is an obvious thing, but on this scale they really really reaaaaallly work :-P

Also, was gonna say my ex Amy - who wasn't always massively into her mooosik - got to see the sold-out no tickets anywhere gig of the Arctic Monkeys! And she bopped and moshed and everything! I think that was my influence........hehe................

Now then some DG lyrics:

Nos Da Cariad

one lifetime is long enough
is long enough to wait
the rain like silver in my ears
fat nothing on my plate
a bucketful of Babylon
a belly full of hate
go to sleep my one true love
and may your dreams be sweet

then we'll be running

see its face beneath the glass
it murmurs on the breeze
like a long black cadillac
it passes 'neath the trees
what is it you're waiting for?
sweet love is on its knees
go to sleep my one true love
and find your heart's release

then we'll be running
afraid of nothing
yeah we'll be running

silence is golden
here i am
i ain't afraid of nothing
silence is golden
here i am

the sun above the cotton grass
is sinking down like lead
the seagulls know the truth of it
and scream it overhead
hold on to St. Christopher
the sky is murderous red
go to sleep my one true love
our glory lies ahead

then we'll be running
afraid of nothing
then we'll be running

all wired up in a dawning ray
all wired up ina  dawning ray
all wired up in a dawning ray
all wired up in a dawning ray

...Now go play it.......;-)
