This man is INCREDIBLE- he did a special video message for my terminally ill sister in law last year/ something I will never forget! Not just an amazing musician but an incredible human ❤️

[Robmac]

Great to see Craig McClune killing it on the drums 👏

[MrJohnnyhercules]

I don't think there is a better 6 minutes on YouTube than this, imagine writing a song this good and giving it to the world. Incredible performance of an incredible song,

[branflanbutler]

This song still slaps in late 2023, and the orchestra really sends it

[TruthHurts]

This is off the charts! It lands so softly but cuts so deeply. One of the best live performances I've heard. He's still got it.

[stuvb]

How his head hasn't fallen after all these years of bobbing side to side I'll never know. This song sounds as great as it did when it was first released

[nuncapasaran]

David in a full pinstripe suit, big dumb grin like a little kid, Craig in a Hawaiian shirt jammin out with the brush sticks like he's in a metal band, and a full orchestra filling the room with sweet resonating heartache. It's exactly what is perfect about David Gray's music. Absolutely perfect.

Heard this at work yesterday lots of memories flooding back to me, odd a mixture of sadnesses/ happiness, David gray I salute you 👍

[jackmidd]

Someone please give the drummer a pay rise 🤩🙌🤩

[IanADolan]

The drummer deserves credit too, epic

[LydiaCole]

Super emotional to see him embody this track with so much emotion after so many years... so beautiful, thank you David Gray, and every player in that room.

[AdrianDodsworth-cy]

How could this guy not get the recognition he truly deserves ❤❤❤

[andrewimray]

He is genuinely brilliant isn't he, white ladder has aged beautifully 👌

[BrokenBaculum]

I'm never not in awe at the drumming on this song. Clune is a legend.

[ellie]

Just when I thought David Gray couldn't get any better he adds an orchestra. Beautiful 💖

[bevblackburn]

Awww beautiful. Great to see him getting his groove on at the end. This song (the whole album in fact) was the soundtrack to my divorce. I can now listen to it again with nothing but appreciation for what a fabulous performer David Gray is. Thank you David :-)

[jeffrogers]

This was one of a number of songs that have been meaningful to me and my beloved sweetheart. She passed last month after a 4 year dance with ovarian cancer. Lots of memories that music conjures up at any given moment that remind me of what a gift we were given to be with each other.

[wayneclark]

This is one of my favourite songs, and for it to be played like this live is so emotional for me. Pulls right on my heart strings...personally. what a performance, the best 👊👍

[Mrbimdrummer]

OMG look who's on drums. Awesome 👍

I’m 19.. somehow I stumbled across David Gray and I’ve gotta say, he’s a top artist for my list of favorite musicians.
