  • Music [8] Songs you would like to hear from David Gray 707089

    Hi folks,

    I'm quite sure that almost everyone has a few favourite songs you would really love to hear from David Gray cause we all know that he transforms every song he interprets into something great new.  So please let me start with my list:

    1. Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
    2. The Passenger - Iggy Pop
    3. Close Watch - John Cale

    What's yours?



    "Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord ..." L.Cohen

    Hey that's a good idea...I think Passenger by Powderfinger would suit him.  I'd like to hear that!

    1. Broken stones - Paul Weller

    2. Suspicious minds - Elvis Presley

    and this one would be great fun;

    Come on eileen by Dexy's midnight runners.

    Smile

    I was thinking of you Eileen when reading that post. Smile

    My choice is 'Zum Meer' by Herbert Groenemeyer. An intelligent sequal to 'The Other Side'.

    I don't think I know this "Zum Meer"  Help me find a place to hear it if you can Rena.  There are times when I hear a song, and think that I'd love to hear David make it his own, but I can't think of a single one now. I'll be giving it serious thought today. Maybe a child lullaby, something I could image him singing to his 2 girls."Christoper Robin" from Winnie the Pooh.-Kenny Loggins.

    eyelean :)

    If its the song I think it is Eileen, it is indeed worth finding. Rena introduced me and DJK to Herbie  while on our travels in Scotland and England last November.  

    I think a child's lullaby would be amazing.  Have you listened to his own song Lullaby?  David's voice is so unique, I don't think I would have noticed him otherwise. 

    I would like to hear him sing Jealous Guy (John Lennon) or No Surrender (Bruce Springsteen).

     


    If I close my eyes....

    How wonderful to be able to travel around Scotland and England. I was in Inskip last March. Wish I had been active on this site then. I went to Liverpool, did the Beattle museum, and the Tate. Great time. I would have loved to meet all of you folks. Big Smile

    I have not heard David's Lullaby. Where would I find it? 


    eyelean :)

    Hi All,

     I'd love to hear him do 'Brown Eyed Girl' by Van Morrisson!  That's a really upbeat song anyway, but I think David would really add that extra buzz.  Especially live!  I think his band would more than do it justice.  I bet it would be really fun to perform.  The crowd would be jumping! :)

    I know he does Springsteen cover quite a lot but I'd love to hear 'I'm on Fire' - a sexy song anyway but with him singing it!!! Alternatively, something like The Fratelli's Chelsea Dagger .....just for the hell of it!!

    You are perfectly right Dave. He has indeed. At the NIA Birmingham June 21, 2006. Smile

    And he certainly added that 'extra buzz' you mentioned Linz.
