David Gray Press Release Lost SongsThe year 2000 began with a most bizarre, fantastic and totally unforeseen event. The album white Ladder went to no.1 in the Irish charts, and as if this was not enough then proceeded to install itself for a six-week stay.There and then it became obvious to me that I was going to have to stop putting a ceiling on my expectations. The rules were being re-written, and what has happened in the six months that has followed, has only served to strengthen my belief that I have entered a realm where anything is possible.So to the release of ?lost songs?. Songs from the lean years, years when I was dragging my music like a burden through an indifferent world, feeding my creative spirit on scraps. My how the world has changed, and so quickly! These days when I take to the stage I am singing in another world entirely, and I am filled to bursting with an irrepressible joy at being alive and doing what I?m supposed to do.So as ?Lost Songs? leaps in straight at No.1. It seems like the right time to stop the wheels for a moment, and say thank you to all the people who have taken my music to their hearts, bought the records, and cheered at the concerts. The circle is complete, what was lost is now found.David Gray

Hey Dave,
Just letting you know that as an Irish girl in Canada I am doing my best to spread the word. Already your magic is being played in some of the homes I've been to(albeit illegal copies taped from CDs! ssshhh nobody needs know!)
Thank you for the music,Love Mittens

Praise the Lord above
And Sell, Sell, Sell David!!!
You've earned it.
Congratulations to you for a superb year 2000 and for getting the praise, attention and (hopefully) royalties that you so richly deserve. Your music, your lyrics and your observations on the world around you astound me everytime I hear them. You're brilliant!
You keep makin' em, I'll keep buying em!
All the best,
John
