David Gray - Nemesis (live at Zermatt Unplugged)

[kennethmcloughlin]

When God made David gray he was just showing off

[toastrecon]

I saw him play this at another venue years ago, with the same acoustic portion at the end. I've never seen anything like it, at the end, the whole audience just sat there for a few seconds in silence. Then, we slowly started into applause that went on for a long time. Amazing.

This song cut me to the heart while at the same time it lifted my spirits by affirming we all have enemies/life occurrences which at times let us know that we all are on the same boat/earth and that no one is above another person; we all bleed the same. Thank God for David Gray.

[jasonfalcon]

This is one of the most incredible songs/performances I've ever heard.

This song just reminds me that we are all human, all flawed, all mixed up. But doing the best we can !

Neath an avalanche
Soft as moss
I'm a creeping-in, intangible sense of loss
I'm the memory you can't get out your head
If I leave you now
You'll wish you were somewhere else instead
I'm the manta ray
I'm the louse
I am the photograph
They found in your burned down house
I'm the sound of money washing down the drain
I am the pack of lies
The baby that keeps you sane, hey
Gates of heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm trapped inside
Feel like I'm buried alive
I'm, I'm the bottom line
Of the joke
I'm in ecstasy
Spilling like bright egg-yolk
I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share
And I am the smell of it
You're trying to wash out of your hair
Gates of heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm lost inside
Feels like I'm buried alive
The possibilities limitless
Just give me something that's more than this
One shot and I'll never miss
Yes
I'm the babe that sleeps
Through the Blitz
I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist
I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else
I am your nemesis
Baby I'm life sweet life itself
💙

If only all singer/song writers could create poetry.

[nancywranovsky]

What's worse then being with someone you don't belong with - your child being with someone they don't belong with

[bradorr]

What’s the one secret or the one truth that you keep locked away in your farthest depths? This song pulls that to the surface and makes you question if you could go back in time with another chance, would you take it?

“I’m your one true love that sleeps with someone else. I am your nemesis. Baby I’m life, sweet life itself.”

[b.csplatbriancross]

Saw him in Houston it was a highlight of my life.
With my 30 year wife. She was 14 now she is 44.

[summerlove]

I've seen him live 3 times and he is just breathtaking! Absolutely phenomenal!!!!

August 11th, 2023 in this world, , ,
And this is still just pure magic!! Always will be. I saw him with my girl at this time and to this day we are very good friends and honestly, I’m trying to get her back because I miss her and I messed up with drugs and alcohol, but I’m not that same man and a little after ten years, I’m still trying to prove to her that I’ve changed, for the better. So wish me luck world, because I think she’s thinking and willing to try again with me!!!

[VJ-zprt]

My heart melts for this song. David Gray live is indescribable. Beautiful talent. Beautiful to the last chord.

[silviavillasenor]

I just discovered his music and I love it

[jessedalton]

One of my favorites of his newer stuff. Saw him perform it live in Denver. I cried. I dont cry at funerals for family members. I have listened to him since the mid to late 90s no one understood why.... lyrics... lyrics.... so much soul in his voice. Oh and live he is funny as hell! Concert was better because I went with my favorite person on earth... you know who you are

[salribera]

David Gray-One of the best-This song is life it

[pelotasdad]

better than air.... thanks david, and thanks to marcel for sharing this. i was listening to this album a lot around the time my puppy, pele, died from lung cancer. by the time i found out how sick he was i only got 8 more days with him. it has been 11 years and i still grieve... this song will always remind me of him, as i listened to it a ton while we went on our final walks together. black lab/german shepard mixes make great companions.
