David Gray - Sail Away (Greatest Hits Audio)
updated
A few minutes after making this video we had a flyby from two Golden Eagles! Breathtaking! A couple of hours after making this video and our high spirits had us all jumping in the Loch, breathtaking in a completely different way! Fast forward to the same time the next day and we were clinging to a cloud shrouded mountain top by our fingernails in the teeth of a howling gale! What’s not to like?
Pure highland magic. 🏴🏔️🥾❤️
Listen to ‘Plus & Minus’ at the link in bio.
BTS footage from @harriettkbols on Instagram
Here’s a sneak peak behind the scenes at some of the vocal arrangements and the beautiful voice that helped bring them all to life.
We’re going to have such a blast performing this song together. Counting down the days to official performance number one! 🕺💃🏻🎤🎹🫵🏻

Well……Months have shortened to weeks have shortened to days, and now there’s only 48 hours or so of fully operational time left at Studio Gray before the whole lot gets unplugged, boxed up, and carted off to its new West London 😳 home. This little bit of acoustic guitar playing may well be the final strum! I’m smiling on the outside but inside I’m freakin’ out!
Love and peace ✌🏻 x

Waist deep in the ocean’s magic and improvising a dreamy little tune for the curious seal that kept popping its head up to look at me. He/she remained stubbornly hidden beneath the water the moment that I decided to take a video! As soon as I put the camera down and dived in, up popped my seal companion!
Coming very soon….a brand new chapter!

The Rice lyrics:
The draughts blew cold
Under the door
When we threw our clothes
To the kitchen floor
The broccoli boils
In a pan on the gas stove
Where you stand
Won′t you take this spatula
In your hand
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
We have no concern
Under the hem of the night
Under the hem of the night
Out on the roof
Over havoc streets
With the sky a blanket
Each sweet kiss
So melodramatic embroidered by shadow
By the fridge I reminisce
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
We have no concern
Under the hem of the night
Under the hem of the night
We stagged a doorway
And all of a sudden
The drum of the rain
On the heather hills
Now everything's changed
And our silence is bitter
And you are all unhinged
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
We have no concern
Under the hem of the night
Under the hem of the night

This song was written for a new multi-artist, double album of music and soundscapes inspired by the endangered curlew, whose evocative calls have inspired a wealth of folklore, poetry and music. Proceeds for the album will go to curlew conservation.
Pre-order the album, 'Simmerdim: Curlew Sounds', coming May 13th, at rspb.lnk.to/SimmerdimCurlewSounds

#DavidGray #Babylon #WhiteLadder
So here it is, the strange story of the lost Metropolis mix - of how we gave it everything we'd got in an attempt to, ONCE AND FOR ALL, make the definitive single mix of Babylon, how the mix was then played by radio stations all over the world, and how years later, we lost the tapes down the back of the sofa.

#DavidGray #Babylon #WhiteLadder
Some background on our first attempt at a single mix in early 1999, and the weird story of how the song became so powerful once Clune had put his drums down and I’d sung a new shouty vocal in the chorus, that it caused the moon to pass in front of the sun!! Strange but true….

Over the coming weeks and leading up to the Jan 21st re-release of the (LONG LOST!) original UK single mix, I am going to be telling the story of Babylon. Both for the first and for the very last time I will be zooming in for an intimate close up of the writing, recording, mixing and remixing process, and also recounting the strange tale of how the most popular and universally loved version of the song came to be lost within the archive in the first place. Confused? You soon will be!

“No False Gods” Lyrics:
No false gods now
We are love's body or we are undone
No false gods now
We are love's body or we are undone
And you're damned if you do
And you're damned if you don't
No false gods now
We are love's body or we are undone
And tonight once again
For the first time
And tonight once again
For the first time
Once again
For the first time
No false gods now
We are love's body or we are undone
We are love's body or we are undone

"Dún Laoghaire" Lyrics:
There are buried worlds within us
Rainy nights as black as Guinness
Apparitions lodged like splinters
So with thoughts all smudged and beery
Make my way down to Dún Laoghaire
Peek through windows fogged and teary
From the warmth inside
And if you can't learn to love it
'Fraid you're gonna have to shove it
Stacked too high to rise above it
So we're kicking o'er the traces
With two fingers to their faces
And proceeding on the basis
Of inalienable right
And ain't it obvious
By now
There ain't no me and you
Never was
Don't have to be a genius
To work it out
We're all effect without a cause
Watching Oz the great magician
Eyes shut in the brace position
Changed beyond all recognition
And the radius of our footsteps
Spans a world of shattered concepts
Abandoned buildings loom like shipwrecks
In the ebbing tide
And ain't it obvious
By now
There ain't no me and you
Never was
Don't have to be a genius
To work it out
We're all effect without a cause
Is it some ridiculous misplaced
Sense of pride
That keeps me hauling
On the line
Gonna step right out of this
I just can't abide…
If I had a pound for
Every time

"Accumulates" Lyrics:
Well it grips and it grins
It cavorts and it gyrates
And it whispers from the wings
Knowingly insinuates
Shines a certain light on things
Emphasising your least likeable traits
And baby it accumulates
Baby it accumulates
In the depots, in the silos
On the palettes, in the crates
Down the isles, wreathed in smiles
In great mountains on our plates
Like the love of God it enters you
In all kinds of amorphous states
And baby it accumulates
Baby it accumulates
Mindless need is loosed among us
In our homes and down our streets
Singing like some mythic creature
Of great Edens through the gates
And you can have better suction
Even wanton destruction
And all of this at very competitive rates
But baby it accumulates
Baby it accumulates
Baby it accumulates
Looking down from the high rise
Staring back with your own eyes
Playing games with numbers
Messing round with the dates
Altering its positions
Muttering sweet propositions
Doing its damnedest to get you
Between the sheets
And you might start out
Kicking and screaming
Pretty soon you’re gonna wind up
Sucking on the teats
Cos baby it accumulates
Yeah baby it accumulates
Baby it accumulates

"Laughing Gas" Lyrics:
Nothing in the world was ever seen
Write it on the wind
This living dream
Nothing in the world was ever known
Throwing off the weight
Of skin and bone
Ripple on the water
Leaves of grass
Fire into the crowd
With laughing gas

We’re spilled out like foam on the sand
And it’s all that we asked for and more
Well it’s all that we asked for and more
The first light it came like a warning
This moment is all that you own
It’s all that we asked for and more
Well it’s all that we asked for and more
A lump in my throat to remember
The day I was just seventeen
She peeled back her chest like a curtain
And her heart was translucent and green
And it’s all that we asked for and more
Well it’s all that we asked for and more
Yeah it’s all that we asked for
And if these walls could talk
Think they might have a thing or two to tell
About all the rain drenched
Songs that rang
And tears that fell
The thoughts in my head are like tinder
And your eyes are like flint on a stone
And it’s all that we asked for and more
Well it’s all that we asked for and more
Yeah it’s all that we asked for and more
Well It’s all that we asked for and more

"Birds Of The High Arctic" Lyrics:
Baby say it isn't true
You were never there
It wasn't you
It's more than I can do
To try and keep it shiny new
The gap just opens up
Between the words we like to use
And the thing that's seen
Seen through your eyes now darling
In blue distances calling
Like the birds of the high arctic
And you don't have to make the move
No there ain't nothing left to prove
Accept the plain unvarnished truth
It's a part of you you can't remove
Like a love that's been
There ain't no answers darling
Just blue distances calling
Like the birds of the high arctic
They're calling
Like the birds of the high arctic
This darling
For the light in your eyes sparked it
Two sheets to the wind
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Like the birds of the high arctic
Like the birds of the high arctic
Like the birds of the high arctic
Like the birds of the high arctic
Baby say that it isn't true
You were never there and it wasn't you
Never there wasn't you
Baby say that it isn't true
You were never there
Never there wasn't you
Like the birds of the high arctic
Like the birds of the high arctic
Like the birds of the high arctic

"Skellig" Lyrics:
Oh that the song I'm singing
Was an ocean wide
And that the word I'm bringing
Reaches over to the other side
Each heart a burning vessel
Out on a pitch black wave
Chewing the bone and gristle
When it's the flesh of love we crave
And when a lie starts dancing
Oh boy it sure can run
Be halfway around the world
Before the truth can get its trousers on
And in a nightclub mirror
I caught the merest glimpse
Of my pre-human spirit
Frozen like a deer yeah, in the headlamps
Until it just don't matter
Until we're far from care
And when illusions shatter
You see the carnage everywhere
So with a taste like metal
On through the fog of war
So many hurts like nettles
All growing up around my door
I'm gonna cut that stairway
Yeah with my own bare hands
Up to that high rock plateau
Make my home inside the winds
Inside the winds
Inside the winds
Up to that high rocky plateau
Make my home inside the winds

"A House With No Walls" Lyrics:
With face turned away
From what you must say
So each to his reckless reward
We’ve torn up the track
There’s no turning back
Each day now a journey toward
That house with no walls
That house with no walls
That house with no walls
The pure mountain air
A robe we shall wear
On calling these spirits to rise
For all the high bluff
They see well enough
What’s there when they look in our eyes
That house with no walls
That house with no walls
That house with no walls
Mark it well
When I walk through that door
I’m a whole different person
Not me anymore
Can’t you tell
From the sound my voice makes
I’m a fish flashing silver
Jumping clear out the lake
Children of the freeze
Some quiet if you please
Your father’s got something to say
We’ve tarried too long
Been seeing it all wrong
And he bids you come home right away
To that house with no walls
That house with no walls
That house with no walls

"Spiral Arms" Lyrics:
Til I’m caught in your spiral arms
Til I’m caught in your spiral arms
Til I’m caught in your spiral arms
And it all falls away
Lead a skittish horse
Through the fields of gorse
Till the jagged edges soften
Wrap those feet of clay
In the sweet decay
Strip the layers away
Till I’m less than nothing
And I’m caught in your spiral arms
And I’m caught in your spiral arms
And I’m caught in your spiral arms
As it all falls away
Scale the dizzy heights
Of that eastern light
Look for life beneath what’s frozen
Get our just desserts
We’re so close it hurts
But we get there just as the doors are closing
To be caught in your spiral arms
To be caught in your spiral arms
To be caught in your spiral arms
Let it all fall away
So it’s skin on skin
Let the games begin
Find a brighter way of growing
If you’d take my hand
Baby help me stand
I’m a cup that’s full to overflowing
And I’m caught in your spiral arms
And I’m caught in your spiral arms
And I’m caught in your spiral arms
And I’m caught in your spiral arms
And I’m caught in your spiral arms
Yeah I’m caught in your spiral arms
Yeah I’m caught in your spiral arms
When I’m caught in your spiral arms
And I’m caught in your spiral arms
And I’m caught in your spiral arms
