Years ago, I liked David Gray's voice.  Now, I just....don't.

Once in a while David Gray comes along at RP...
This is a great song and album... Like to hear him more on RP!

Indeed so! Ray Lamontagne is good, but he's a pup next to DG. The promoters know ho is buying the tickets and filling the seats. Personally, I would pay to see either one of them solo. I don't think either need an 'opener'! {#Whistle}(IMHO)

Definitely not enough David Gray on RP! {#Crashcomp} 
What has stuck in my head since I first heard David back in... '96-'97?, is that he reminded me of early Tom Waite or John Prine, and a few years later, around the time of White Ladder, Dave Matthews said that David was his 'favorite musician', which is quite a testimonial, considering the source. We just need to hear more DG on RP! {#Clap}

Didn't notice the sub-bass until I listened with good headphones - I can listen through this album any day of the week.

Agreed.  Even better the first time I heard it just down the road from you in Nimbin.

I remember walking down O'Connell Street in the centre of Dublin when this album and Damien Rice's first were the biggest things in the Emerald Isle. It took me a while but I slowly began to understand what the fuss was all about.

I hate to say it, but this song doesn't do anything for me.  The elements of a decent song are there, but in an uninspiring form to my ears.

Oh well.  I can't like 'em all...

Funny, but the day this song came out it seemed to transport me back in time.
I think it has that "timeless" quality to it.

Ha!  Touche!

12 years on, this album still sounds great, and in my very humble opinion, will indeed "stand the test of time" in years to come.  I think the singer-songwriter genre is enjoying a resurgence, thanks to hip-hop.  There's something organic about a person sitting down with an acoustic instrument and playing a good song.

David has such a penchant for chord progressions and just the right instrumentation and vocal nuances.....that reach into your heart, doesn't he?

Very bittersweet for me. Love the song but it was the soundtrack to a very difficult time for me.  This album helped me face my pain and work through it.

Hits me more than I can express.

I usually do not care for popular, oft played radio hits, so I was really hesitant to buy this CD. I was blown away.This album is a stunner.

This is a tough room, no question about that. David Gray isn't my favorite by any means but he doesn't deserve the vitriol shown here.

David's new album came out today. Wonder if this is a tribute to it. Haven't heard any of it yet, but my friend loves it. I can imagine why.

This album was amazing (maybe his only amazing one, but still...)  One of those rare albums where almost every single song is memorable. And while dark, amazingly poignant.
