Driving home with our two sleeping children in the back of the car, street lights on, steel night sky and this playing softly. Children now grown up with children of their own. Wow, right back in the heart of that sweet memory.

I'm 72 now and about 22 yrs ago in S.F. I had one of only 3 deeply romantic gestures in my life, this one from an Argentinian young man singing and playing this song Babylon for me suddenly outside where I lived. I didn't even know he knew how to play guitar. It was exquisitly wonderful. Never to forget Luciano. Thankyou.

Who still listen to this in 2021 ? Masterpiece, really.

Its xmas day I'm drunk and my 2 deerhound dogs are snoring to this music I'm in heaven

Babylon is a great tune but it’s all about Please forgive me, for me. Liked the song and then was on trip to New York in 2003 and it came on in bar and it just felt so familiar and warm whilst I felt so far away from my girlfriend, now wife, in England. Hearing it in 2023 has me a bit of a mess on a slightly drunk Friday night

Gifted man lyricist and musician. Soul lifting Yeshua is in your presence.

Remembering my true love gave this CD to me. I never realized what the words were until I really listened to them. I missed out on my true love. Please forgive me and my stupidity. Love these songs but it really hurts me now.

This was the sound track that saw me through a painful messy expensive divorce. Somehow i got through it battered tired and angry with a life that shat on me.but i came through more wiser.....its funny that the saddest songs gives you a musical hug and lifts your head and hart and soul.......thanks David Gray.if i see you down my local ill buy you a beer.........................and that voice original soulful and expressive , you were blessed by god..................sincere heartfelt love from me.......................Doug

Perfect! Forgive me IS and always will be magical. David Gray, thank you!

I can't believe I have not heard this song for the first time until about a month ago. It's such a beautiful song. I'm 66 and wished I would have heard this years ago. But, I get to listen to it now with a new appreciation to music.

This is what talent is. He sounds just as good as the recordings if not better live. He appears to sing effortlessly and his raspy voice is incredible. What an incredible gift to us all. It's a shame he doesn't get more recognition.

I fell in love with David Gray all on my very own. Very EARLY thirties. It happened to come on the radio. I was hooked. I played it for the man i married & has my twins. We were bith immediate David Gray lifetime fans. Oh how id love to ti see him anytime, then or now. I slways know when its him. Hes wonderful. ✨💗✨🎶✨

2024 in my hot tub. He gets me! So passionate.

I’ve renewed my love for these two songs. I used to play it in the car. In Please Forgive Me there is a line ‘I’ve got half a mind to scream out loud’. My little daughter would scream! She’s 24 now and still remembers these songs. Music so powerful and everlasting. Where are you now David?

Saw him live years ago. He blew my mind with his talent. I was expecting mediocre and got brilliance. If you ever get the chance to see him live grab it with both hands

The voice that launched a 1000 ships and lyrics are impecable.

David gray reminds us of easier, happier time when the world wasn’t in turmoil and everyone seemed happy. Pre social media

Incredible album when it came out. Cant believe its been almost 25 years. Where does it go...

It’s been 24 years and still I will forever love you Tammi Day!! ❤2024♥️

Reminds me of one of the happiest times in my life. Thank you for being the soundtrack David.

It’s 2023. I’m 50 in NJ. Man, this move me. Thank you.

This is an all time classic. David deserves far more credit than he gets for his beautiful music and lyrrics. This song will love with me forever as it will for millions for whom it was so meaningful at the time it was released. All these years later it still moves me.

I liked this guy when I was a teen but didn’t realise how good he actually was till I got older wow can’t believe how good he is live 👏🏽

One of the greatest artists ever!!!

Ireland adopted this album. What an artist❤😊

Brilliant singing. Of all the love stories in my years this song Is my love story come tru at 62.

I can’t believe it’s been 20 years! Still so fresh and amazing! Love you David Gray! ❤️

This is Album is so Special to me, no words to explain, absolutely heartfelt filled with tears… Beautiful ❤️ in my heart, I can listen to this, him over and over…. He hits Home…

How is it possible that it only gets better each time I listen? The man is a musical genius. This album will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️

Started listening to him again after a good few years and now that im 10-15 years older you realise how fuckin good this guy is and what a tune can't stop listening to it☺ woooo oooh iiiii

I remember my mother playing White Ladders in the car all the time growing up, this album has stuck with me throughout the years. Now, I play it with my baby in the back seat. I’m taking him to his concert next July. My life truly wouldn’t be what it is, without this soundtrack. It’s time for me to carry on that legacy

It's such an incrediblely beautiful song in every way imo❤ooohh Babylon.

I love David Gray. One of the most underrated Male artists xxxx

A great song to hear when rolling through Chicago at 2am in a semi.

The guitar arpeggio outro in Please forgive me gives me goosebumps every time

I just love his gravelly voice and his lyrics that cut right to my heart. I will never be able to hear this song without thinking of someone who meant so much to me but who got away. This song brings tears to my eyes. Every. Single. Time. ❤️❤️

What a voice, our David has❤feels like lightning running through my veins.😅

I was lucky enough to see David years before the pandemic in San Diego at the SDSU amphitheater. Didn't realize that would be my last live concert at the time, who knew😲 Babylon is the big hit but "Please Forgive Me" is a great song, even better live when they jam out from the middle to the end. David was really feelin it that night and he started going crazy with the head bob. I thought he must need a chiropractor with him on tour to do that every night 😁

I can't get enough....

David Gray pull at your soul and rips your heart , he heightens every emotion known to man and any yet undiscovered . He is a true romantic poet who knows human nature right down to it very core .

To me this is how these songs were created & should always be performed. Singer songwriters are rare, great ones like David are in short supply & amazingly talented.

Remembering those special times in my life x

This wonderful musician is actually too good to be popular in the mainstream. He is truly an incredibly rare talent. Thankyou David.

Feels like lightning running through my veins every time I look at you !

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️luv this song just magic

love the bass player and lead. both awesome and David of course ❤️

Great contestant his music was still refreshing all those years back and is still so worth the time now !

Listened to this album when it came out in a Dublin pub on our honeymoon. It still sounds amazing!

Feels like lightening running through my veins, everytime I look at you

David gray absolutely ❤️💋🥰💗💘😎🔥😻

what a treasure. love is easy when found from within with true intent.

Please forgive me really is a masterpiece

Back in the day my prime what I'd give to have these days back a complete legend with so much memory David gray ❤

Got me through some hard times these two songs ❤

Love you brother to moon and back xxxx can uwe have more pls, you are too good ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I first seen David on Jools Holland singing Birds without wings and was hooked. A fantastic artist who sings songs that means so much to me and sure many,many more. Thank you Mr Gray. It’s a pleasure listing to your songs

Wow lovely chilli out music great voice great guitar great guys 👏👏👏👏😍👍🎸🍀☘️🇮🇪

"Babylon" always reminds me of my best friend, Lorraine☮

Really is he for real ? Or an angel just sent from heaven . Who can be that sweet and lovely. He’s s true to his heart u don’t often see that in men it’s beautiful simply beautiful

Cried seeing him performing this song in Birmingham he lifted the roof.

This song is breath taking, the bass gives me chills

Loved David in the 90's.....still love him now.

I am so happý lising to your song tanks David from Island💜🙏💙💖

So many memories this man is the ultimate musician love and respect you legend to💗💗💗✌✌👍

I must see him live in concert. Putting this on my post covid wish list.

This man could sing the phone book to me and I would love it

I still remember the first time I heard Babylon: on the bus in the seventh grade on the way to school. Its been a favorite ever since.

Some of the simplest and most incredibly accessible arrangements - and tunes - I have ever heard or felt. The man is a genius..... his is really a much a spiritual experience as well as a sensory one. Great stuff!

How very Divine 👑😇🙏🎅🎄🎆⭐

Went to see him on the 30th May 22 Liverpool (finally after 2year wait because of lockdown) Fantastic night. Babylon my favourite one, he had the arena rocking with this. Definately see him again.

Finally got to see David Gray last week in Glasgow 2 yrs after he was meant to play..Best concert I've been to in a long time.. the chat from him was great as well

David is outstanding, how he creates and delivers his brilliant and enthusiastic and sonorous and soulful songs: Brilliant

Truly outstanding. I can feel the romantic soul in all his songs. David Gray is a timeless individual.

That's was unbelievable ,that song .

I remember listening to this song on the way back up to Scotland having worked in London for 8 weeks in 2003 😍👍

Sometimes you hear an artist, whose words and music just touch your soul. David Gray is one of those musicians. Hope to see him in concert in Nashville in 2021 (show was cancelled in 2020).

Didn’t get this music at the time. Listening to it again in 2021, realise how special it is. Just brilliant.

Possibly the best live performance performed by any artist in the entire history of music

First act l seen at t in the park absolute legend ❤❤❤

White ladder remains the best album I ever bought, up against Bowie, Fleetwood Mac and Weller, proves what a good record it is IMHO

These songs are amazing even after all these years takes me back to wen I first heard them happy times and such an amazing artist with such a fantastic voice don’t think he got the recognition he truly deserves for such great tunes

I think he needs to make a comeback on the scene ❤️

No substitute for quality....amazing

I saw him 15 times devoted 20 years later magic moments ✨️

Jeez, just what a skillful guy he is, I have many Genres I love, from DnB to Jazz to old classics, but David Gray really is the soundtrack to my life. So nicely done. What a gem.

Always a welcomed sound is listening to him. He is amazing.

So proud of david for bearing his soul and sharing it with our nation. a soundtrack to our narrative. memories

Genius what more can be said👍

this music bring back memories ❤🐕

I guess an Artist hopes for Longevity. I think he is the personification of that ..... amazing music

Great artist ! Very much underrated, He's a very rich minded and quality songwriter !!

David Gray is at the the top of my bucket list. My all time favorite is Babylon. I’ve played it so many times and it always touches my soul…and then there’s “Forgive Me. “ So much talent and such incredible music.

You helped save my life ❤️ I remember when you told us when ur granda came from the North. Was Shields I think. I've had such a bad life. I love listening to you tho. It makes me feel like I'm corrupting the life I knew. Keep it up son✌🏼

I found a person i love but hold to old expectations. Regardless of a name. Regardless of buried history. I am bound by name & God to never judge. I am the worst representation of how life experience will transform a pure soul into a skeptic with a sword for a tongue.

Just beautiful

I find myself listen to more and more of his and Ryan Adams music the older I get . One of the greats’

I don’t know how people can stay seated at gigs! Defeats the purpose of being there for me.

David Gray is huuuuuuge, you could take all his instruments away, he'll tap a beat out on his knee and his thigh and keep writing, his most amazing skill. Such a genuine and generous person too. One of the most important folk singers to ever have come out of the United Kingdom, or Liverpool for that matter. I am Scottish, but I'll still say, as far as England goes, he is a national f**king treasure!

Legend ❤

Never heard of this guy just accidentally come across video on youtube. He is magnificent, beautiful song.
