It has some similar chord embellishments (i.e. hammer-ons, pull-offs) in parts of the strumming (as do hundreds of other songs), but the chords do not sound alike. |

Sadly it's annoying to me. I do like the music...wish David would just hum or something.

Not a massive fan of David Gray but this is his best track and it's nice to have a pop song every now and then. Cheers Bill. Greetings from England!

This song reminds me of a girl I used to date who lived out in Babylon, very nice memories.

First time I heard this song was in a Warren Miller ski movie years ago. Then, I heard it over and over and over again as it got overplayed on the radio.
However, it is nice to hear again after a few years.

I'll admit I'm fond of this song for nostalgic reasons: I heard it on the radio in Reykjavik, Iceland. What an amazing trip!

I highly recommend that DVD - solid perfomance of a great singer/songwriter at the peak of his going from relative obscurity to the world stage. +1 on this. Live At The Point is an outstanding concert DVD. Saw David Gray live a few years back....he knows how to get a crowd going. I would imagine that many of the negative comments are from North Americans who have only heard Babylon, and heard it a thousand times. He is immensely more popular in Europe. Much like his countryman, Chris Rea. Anyway, I like Dave - good songwriter, good singer, GREAT performer. |

My "Fat Ex" loved Gray - one more reason to hate him! |

I saw them both perform at the Santa Fe Opera House and I thought the very same thing! Why is Ray the opening act? It was, in any case, a killer concert! |
