    Walking through the snowy streets of York, in the winter of 2001 half drunk with my first girlfriend happy and free. This song blaring out of the HMV store shop front as the snow falls heavily

    Listened to this for the first time in many years. I couldn;t hear 2 bars before breaking down and crying.Was a song with a woman who changed her mind about me. It's good to enjoy the song as it was meant to be heard again. Time does heal all wounds.

      Yep I still say her name, Amy, in my autonomic nervous system...one of my few virtual panic attacks...thanx for Fripp's caveat in Lisin' True...we never had 'em...love his empathy low note around 4:10 at end if song & his solo...b synth, they say...Dr. Fripp knows & sooner or later everbod gotta see the Doc

    David Gray is one of the BEST performers in the world! Not only does he have the most gorgeous personality (his wife is very lucky!) but he plays guitar and piano beautifully and his voice is from another planet - just divine! Thanks for sharing your soul in your music with the world. A true gift of a person. x

    I love his voice. To my ear he's one of the best singers the UK has produced over the last 20 years or so. I know that's a bold statement but I honestly can't think of many more with such a distinct, soulful and powerful voice. Plus he's always in tune. Simon Cowell would cut off one of his balls to have found David Gray.

      Yes Simon Cowell would give his favoured left ball for David I’m sure. White Ladder is one of my top albums, a great Sunday drinking expensive fruity red with a dear friend, we hardly talk now but still great memories of a monumental Sunday made great by Mr Gray.

    Friday night, I'm going nowhere
    All the lights are changing green to red
    Turning over TV stations
    Situations running through my head
    Looking back through time
    You know it's clear that I've been blind, I've been a fool
    To open up my heart to all that jealousy
    That bitterness, that ridicule
    Saturday, I'm running wild
    And all the lights are changing red to green
    Moving through the crowds I'm pushing
    Chemicals are rushing in my bloodstream
    Only wish that you were here
    You know I'm seeing it so clear
    I've been afraid
    To show you how I really feel
    Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
    And if you want it
    Come and get it
    Crying out loud
    The love that I was
    Giving you was
    Never in doubt
    Let go of your heart
    Let go of your head
    And feel it now
    Let go of your heart
    Let go of your head
    And feel it now
    Babylon, Babylon, Babylon
    Sunday, all the lights of London shining
    Sky is fading red to blue
    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
    And if you want it
    Come and get it
    Crying out loud
    The love that I was
    Giving you was
    Never in doubt
    Let go of your heart
    Let go of your head
    And feel it now
    Let go of your heart
    Let go of your head
    And feel it now
    Let go of your heart
    Let go of your head
    And feel it now
    Let go of your heart
    Let go of your head
    And feel it now
    Babylon, Babylon, Babylon, Babylon, Babylon
    Ah

    Perfect antidote to Fripp's Losin' True with Maggie (The Roches)..we never had her Loving vs. In Love! Sooner or later everyone has to see the Doctor; Fripp's sustained low note at near end of solo is catharsis... empath..like Heroes & Eno's collaborations with the Doc...David Gray is up in these stratospheres..

    I have always loved listening to David Gray and this is a fantastic live version of Babylon. I don't think the Swiss audience understood David's joke about interior design ideas! Our British sense of humour is very different from other European and indeed North American countries. And whilst on the subject of differences, yes "humour" is spelt correctly using the Oxford English Dictionary! Lol
