David Gray - The Other Side Live

David Gray

Chanteur et guitariste Britannique. Sa musique pop aux accents folk rappelle notamment au début de sa carrière The Waterboys. Ses textes sont subtils, poétiques sans être ésotériques.

C’est surtout au Royaume-Uni qu’il est populaire, pays où ce type de voix est très apprécié (comme celle de Damien Rice par exemple). Mais des titres comme Sail Away, Babylon, ou Please Forgive Me (dont il est existe une version remixée avec succès par Orbital), ont eu un rayonnement plus important.

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
Ill see you on the other side
See you on the other side

Honey now if Im honest
I still dont know what love is
Another mirage folds into the haze of time recalled
And now the floodgates cannot hold
All my sorrow all my rage
A tear that falls on every page

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side

Maybe I oughta mention
Was never my intention
To harm you or your kin
Are you so scared to look within
The ghosts are crawling on our skin
We may race and we may run
Well not undo what has been done
Or change the moment when its gone

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
Ill see you on the other side
Ill see you on the other side

I know it would be outrageous
To come on all courageous
And offer you my hand
To pull you up on to dry land
When all I got is sinking sand
The trick aint worth the time it buys
Im sick of hearing my own lies
And loves a raven when it flies

Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
Ill see you on the other side

Honey now if Im honest
I still dont know what love is
