This guy is so massively under rated its unreal? Been the soundtrack to my life now for over 20 years! I just hope the music keeps coming? Pure empathy from a man who gives his heart and soul in every song he writes and sings 💜
I have no problem saying that David Gray is one of the greatest singer/songwriters living. He ranks up there with Bob Dylan for me. His music has soul, meaning and emotion. Love it. The man is pure class
I think the best thing is he's not a one or two album wonder-hell,he keeps popping out albums faster than I can buy them and they are all keepers. Dylan made me buy tons of his music and he couldn't even sing. This guy can do it all ,write,sing,play-just do it all.
Terrific songwriter. Heard this on the car radio today and had to track it down here. That piano keeps playing in my head. White Ladder is still a favorite record. Would not trade that for every hip-hop song ever written.
i discovered this song on my sister's blackberry phone back in the day and learned the word fugitive. came back to this song after hearing someone mention the title. good old song
This is one of my absolute favourite songs. I find it really melancholic but brilliant. The message of the song according to David Gray is basically that you can't hide from life.
I've been looking for this song for over 10 years and I could only remember the tune and a few words...and omg I can't believe I found it after all this time.❤️ I used to be singing along to this almost everyday!😂💕
same, i remember finding this song preloaded on my blackberry cellphone back in the early 2010s, ive spent time looking for this song AND I FINALLY FOUND IT!!
This was the very first song I heard by him and I was instantly hooked now I can’t figure out which one of his many great songs is my favorite so I guess I’ll have to keep listening till I decide
I think David and I were brother and sister in a past life. I have never connected with an artist's music like I do with Mr. Gray. Ok, maybe Joan Armatrading, but the list is QUITE SHORT! My heart is forever at the mercy of the keys he presses/chords he strums and words he utters so exquisitely. Rock on dear brother
Great song from a great artist full of talent , that era was unfortunately coming to an era 10 years ago , now there’s no talent absolutely nothing. There’s not even music now
Caught the show last night in San Francisco - so very worth it. Transfiguring music and a charming and humble personality to boot. Thank you David (and Lisa) for a wonderful evening!
Don't wish , learn 😉 I started learning piano 10 years ago after years of wishing... 10 years later I still think I'm crap at it... but from a birds-eye perspective I am light years ahead of that person who kept wishing they could play...
Very sad song because we are all doomed in the other side that is 13 and older unless you are a living soul and is able to do something about it in this realm. God bless you all.
This song has an emotional appeal to me...While the lyrics have a positive twist it was a popular song on a NYC radio station that no longer exists during a dark period so it basically has a negative time period but a positive tone which what was I needed after my uncle committed suicide! I heard the song so much then I relate it to that moment but as someone who was pretty down then, the positive tone is something I'll remember. It is like a double edged sword but I just try to see the positive
Doesn’t matter what year we are in. This will always be one of the best songs ever recorded! 😉
Total agree Martin👍
Yeah bc I'm here in 2023
He really made a comeback with this one! I remember it first came on tv and is stuck in my head since
I concur!
@@Zoomo2697anything is better than Sheeran
It's sad that David Gray seems to be so widely overlooked nowadays. One of the greatest musicians and songwriters the world's ever known.
yes man it makes me sick! this guy is just greaat i loved him since the first 20 seconds I've heard him e!
This guy is so massively under rated its unreal? Been the soundtrack to my life now for over 20 years! I just hope the music keeps coming? Pure empathy from a man who gives his heart and soul in every song he writes and sings 💜
Your not alone mate 🙏
David plays deep & soulful sht so aggressively yet calmly. Gets me every time I listen
Still one of the greatest songs ever written...on my very short list of greatness
I have no problem saying that David Gray is one of the greatest singer/songwriters living. He ranks up there with Bob Dylan for me. His music has soul, meaning and emotion. Love it. The man is pure class
So rite Mick the man's a genius with his song writing up there with the best .
I think the best thing is he's not a one or two album wonder-hell,he keeps popping out albums faster than I can buy them and they are all keepers. Dylan made me buy tons of his music and he couldn't even sing. This guy can do it all ,write,sing,play-just do it all.
Yep, he's one of my heroes alright
I had to rediscover this song and glad I did thanks David!!
Loved this song since I heard it on my Blackberry back in 2009. If this song came out today, it would hit top charts!
I had it on my blackberry device too! What a coincidence!
Terrific songwriter. Heard this on the car radio today and had to track it down here. That piano keeps playing in my head. White Ladder is still a favorite record. Would not trade that for every hip-hop song ever written.
Still amazing 2022 2009 how time flies good times
I saw him in Boston last week. Absolutely incredible! It was a wonderful experience that I won't forget!
Omg. 12 yrs later!! Where did you see him in Boston. I may have been there. Fenway/Landsdown?
I absolutely adore this song!! So many good memories.

Saw David at Jones Beach NY, this was the opening song. What a Great show.
Only heard this one a few times.
It's now my new favourite. ❤️
Underrated song and artist.
Cat Stevens and David Gray are the reason I am 70% me. I love this song
I've been looking for this song for over 10 years and I could only remember the tune and a few words...and omg I can't believe I found it after all this time.❤️ I used to be singing along to this almost everyday!😂💕

Never tire of hearing that song....brilliant.
I've been feeling like a fugitive for a very long time.. I am trying to climb out and become a free man as soon as possible..
David Gray is there with Leonard Cohen and Dolly Parton as one of the greatest Lyricists of all time.
I've been a loyal crush for over a decade now, I never tire of him and would surely be so sad without him
I second that
Me too
My 2 years old baby loves this song so much and she often suggest me to open this clip on my hand phone with her opened eyes and smiles.
Amazing, she's twelve now 😊
Hope she still likes it
@@Wala_b.photography Thank you! She still likes it sometimes.
Fugitive
Don't be a fugitive from life
Don't be a fugitive in your mind
you will redeem yourself in time
all you have to do is try...

I needed this today thank you.
if only for a second.. i see a massively underrated song and artist
i like it from My Blackberry Bold 9650.
you righr
Still rocking to this in 2024! Wish he had a larger American fanbase!
the hook of this song - G, F, Em, is amazing!! The first time I heard it I knew it was something special!
This was the very first song I heard by him and I was instantly hooked now I can’t figure out which one of his many great songs is my favorite so I guess I’ll have to keep listening till I decide
Still My favourite song of yours David 👌
Crazy this song is this old time where do you go
I'm still listening this song in 2012!
Feb 2020
This was the opener at centennial hall Winnipeg....brilliant song and show! 😁🇨🇦❤️🙌🏻
great voice always so full of energy and passion live shows are a must no fancy lights or gimmicks just pure talent
Lyrics make since, if you always run from everybody in your life and life itself you will never experience the true meaning of love
How many times have I said David gray just superb ! ! X
Beautiful and super inspirational feel good song 😊❤
This is my fave vid he's done so far.
I saw him in Baltimore at the Lyric Opera house. Amazing in concert. Sadly I missed him last night at Strathmore.
Somethings gotta give....🥰

Can't believe I'm doing this but, 2020 anyone????
I'm in a David Gray wormhole!
@@birdie12345 I know the feeling
2021 now.
@@tweetyeh1687 😂😂😂😂
2021 😅😅
he's way too under rateddd. deserves more creditttt!
David is a gift to the world, share with someone who thinks Elton John plays piano. I absolutely love this music
Great song from a great artist full of talent , that era was unfortunately coming to an era 10 years ago , now there’s no talent absolutely nothing. There’s not even music now
❤this still listening in 2024
The new album is great, and he still wobbles his head!
Love the comments…makes me feel I’m not crazy. The hypnotic rhythm of this song snags me right back to my youth…
Absolutely love this...
Caught the show last night in San Francisco - so very worth it. Transfiguring music and a charming and humble personality to boot. Thank you David (and Lisa) for a wonderful evening!
Thank you thank you for coming to Salt Lake City later this year.
Carlos Perez babe I can't wait to be there with you! Love you with all my heart!
My favourite song. :) Beautiful.
I've always loved this song. Been needing to hear it. I couldn't remember the title so I Googled singers with last name Gray. Bless the internet.
wish I could play just one instrument
Don't wish , learn 😉 I started learning piano 10 years ago after years of wishing... 10 years later I still think I'm crap at it... but from a birds-eye perspective I am light years ahead of that person who kept wishing they could play...
Bloody gorgeous.
100% Awesome !! Just love his voice and TY for sharing it!
Thanks, I forgot this comment was here. I saw him live in my hometown back in the fall, he is amazing singer.
