Before a musician, he's a poet. And after all of that, he's a magician.

I will never understand how this man's voice always brings me to a place of instant peace, no matter how turbulent my life happens to be at the moment while I listen to him sing.

I’ve never been more excited to get a YouTube notification in my life.

I was in Paris the 2 december 2018 when you had sing at La Maroquinerie. I take the train to hear you this day. While almost 5 years i suffered from anxiety and depression. i was listen to you when i was smoking at my window, every night in my little room. This concert was undescriptible. At the first note of your voice, i cried everything I had. I don't know why. Maybe your voice is connected to my memory, to my life. Because it was the only thing that connected me to life and hope all this nights, at my window.
After the concert I waited for you like a kid at the bar hoping to talk to you. I'm French and my English was pretty bad, I tried to tell you as best I could that even if I didn't understand everything, your music was still going through me and that it had been there for me in my worst moments. You told me "That's a very high compliment". You was so nice ! We said some small talk with our pints in hand. I'm tall enough, and I always regretted not being able to let you know how much your music meant to my life that night. You might not have imagined that a big guy like me had cried all the way through the concert and crossed France to see you.
I know that i will always listen to you. Because you give me light in the darkness. And I just wanted to say thank you for that.

“You’ll love her till it all goes dark.
You’ll love her even after that.”

[BrunoMalherbe]

Fuck man. Jumped on that release like a thirsty man in the desert, not expecting to tear up. Had recently listened to it again, this music is so special. Thank you for that.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dreaming up this golden grain
But I'm falling from this shack
Talking sweet to the queen
Wishing I was riding with the jacks
Walking proud and lonesome now
Oh I'm yearning for the pack
But I'd never say "I love you, " dear
Just to hear you say it back

[Verse 2]
I've heard the road to every truth
It's just a cul-de-sac
There's ladies and the lions there
But you know it's just an act
You search the world for the milk of the pearl
She always takes it black
But you'll love her till it all goes dark
You'll love her even after that

I don't share my love for GAI amongst family and friends, for fear of if they don't feel the same way about him I will disown them. #1 fan since 2009.

[kaciesparks]

His voice is so heavenly and it just makes me miss seeing him live. Already have listened to this 3 times and don’t plan on stopping.

[ChaseEaglesonOfficial]

This is one of my favorite tunes from you. I vividly remember having it on repeat during a flight to Iceland while watching a storm rage below the cloud line from the window seat.
Can't wait for the new album!
All the best, Greg!

[abhinavmehta]

his voice feels like ambrosia and nectar that just for a little while, makes you feel infinite and you long for more again and again

[birdiecahill]

Gregory has been my near constant companion since I lost my son. My only solace at times, my refuge. I'm so greatful.💚💚

[jmaynez]

This dude is a genius. Plain and simple.

[davidsiedschlag]

I don't even know what I am longing for. Everything? Nothing? Both at once? You sure can write a song.

[fatehveersinghguram]

I heard this twice. First, to take in his voice. Second, to listen to the lyrics. I suddenly feel the world will soon be a better place to live in.

[bluemoongirl]

Gregory's music is like a warm cup of black coffee after a cold, dreadful night and finding peace in the little things in life like sitting comfortably near the fireplace when nature decides to freeze.

[PoetClbrown]

I've now written 4 books of poetry. Over 500 poems. I probably wrote 30% of them while listening to Gregory. What we're experiencing here is a genius at his masterpiece. You ought to feel truly blessed to be listening to this. Many people will pass through this world and won't have the privilege. Gregory, I've never seen you live because, well, living in Miami great musicians don't come this far south. I had to fly to ATL to see Passenger once. I guess I'll have to fly somewhere to see you, too.

Today is the one year anniversary of my father's passing. He was taken unexpectedly in an accident. He was the most important person in my life. This day has brought so many intense emotions thus far. Then I came across this new song from an old favorite artist. The calming nature of these words and tune soothes the most complicated feelings and thoughts. Thanks for showing this to me, Dad. You always knew how to calm the storm. I miss you every day.

[ElizabethGermscheid]

I can’t wait to see people perform live again. It’s always so beautiful to be standing in a room together and sharing such wonderful things with one another.

[juliedew]

His songs gently guide more poetry into the world. This song is one of my favorites.
