This song has VERY special emotional significance for me--as I suspect it does for many--my first experience of David Gray--and this version with Jules Holland is too beautiful and soulful to describe. David Gray's passion is such a delight, anything he sings affects me in some way. Blessings, everyone.
One of the best thing about Live on Jools Holland is the display of many bands under one roof. So one could understand the appreciation that each band feels for each other's music. You could see this here the camera pans over the other bands. O and yea, nicely done David :D
The passion in his voice and delivery pours into my whole body; just overwhelmed. Especially since someone incredibly special to me sent me this song, the first time I heard David Gray.
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 occurs to me in my 42nd year of life, is how all of our best music is reached back for like a desperate introspection to the feeling of richness and value that made us close our eyes, feel those hairs rise on our skin, our minds sway with pleasure at beautiful music and the desire to move and dance - and do so time and time again with love, because what has erupted for the last 15+ years has been so disharmonious, cheap, vile and scolding on the ear, that it has left us bereft of real music and real song writing. Just 5 minutes ago David Gray popped into my head, and here I am now remembering how bloomin' fantastic this man was/is. It's strange how these muses erupt, since I've also had an urge to start creating art again. So here's to my fellow people who love real music and art, may they bring you happiness, pleasure and contentment. 😊
David Gray is so underrated it's bloody criminal
White ladder Album...one of all time classics

A Kick ass, rhythmic, balanced, performance, in support of a great singer. Gorgeous. I could listen to this groovey thing for an hour. Easily.

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
