David Gray

Someone asked me the other day what is Team Grayhead?

Well after what really and truly was an incredibly awesome weekend with some very dear friends let me take a stab at it - and it is at this point that Maria's eyes start rolling and I start getting referred to with words like sap........but hey what the hell................

Team Grayhead is an ever-evolving group of friends that are all tied together by one very common bond - the absolute love of everything that David Gray is about - the music, the lyrics, the dancing, the love, the passion, the sheer joy, the instrospection, the style, the professionalism, the laughter, the emotions, the wisdom, the attitude, the chats, the band, the crew, the manager, the fans, the venues, the towns, the travel, the fun, the new experiences...........the family.

It is about being part of this growing family - it is about taking a positive approach to life - to setting aside our petty differences in favor of a positive energy.

It is about embracing what this life affords us - and doing that in a meaningful and constructive way - it is about helping and loving your fellow man - it is about finding good in this world in the face of so much negativity and divisiveness. It is about sharing the news of a new friend coming into this world...........so happy for you both bro!

At the end of the day it is quite simple - it is about love

At least that is how I am feeling today with the depression looming and kicking in hard and fast - but also knowing very well there will be another turn around the corner - another gig and another time to enjoy the company of so many fun and interesting people..............so unitl then

(ok AK you can now take me outisde for my lashes!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet you and so many of the others in Vegas last Friday...just didn't know who to approach without making a fool of myself.  Met some good folks there, but Valerie was the only "forum grayhead" I found.  Marcel was pointed out to me, but was too far away to get to.  Now I read on the forum Rena was in the same area.  Oh well....another day, I suppose.  The show was fantastic and the energy was incredible!  Seeing that show was an unforgettable treat, and my wife and I feel blessed we were able to be there.

very nice post, David, you summed your feelings up beautifully - and i share them!  i was not able to make it (afford it) to Vegas this time, but glad to hear all the Grayheads had a wonderful time.  thanks for all the posts and pictures here and on facebook.

Beautifully said DCA. I second every word and am glad to be part of it all.

Wino, I was looking out for you actually and hoped you would approach us at some point. Next time hopefully.

And Christine, you were missed so also hoping for next time. And there will be a next time.

Here's to great friends!

thanks.............it has proven to be an interesting week and the sense of family even stronger

and most deffo on the next time!!

Truly. All those words between all those commas, DCA. Every single one. I would only add "healing" and "life affirming."  I feel as if I have had a major and much needed attitude adjustment. There are lots of words that describe me, however "spontaneous" has never been one of them, and "safety first" has been a life long motto. This event (for it was not merely a concert) for an over-anxious, tightly-wound, prudish type like me was certainly a risk, and I was rewarded with the most unexpected feeling of freedom and liberation and belief that the best has yet to come. Believe me, I didn't see that one coming.

Ok DCA, go retrieve Maria's eyeballs. They must have rolled down the stairs, out the door, and halfway to Dallas by now. ;)

Hi Indy, I think you were right behind us and talked to my husband Mark.  I  myself was too busy keeping my eye on DG to look anywhere else. lol.

"We may race and we may run, we'll not undo what has been done or change the moment when it's gone."

What a beautiful definition..........

~written blue on white it's plain to see~

And let me add that Team Grayhead as it is today would not exist weren't it for you and your endless efforts Mr DCA!!!

I think this needed to be said.

Ok DCA, you're allowed off for this one. (As this post is very lovely)

I hope to see you back at your normal self in the morning though......Otherwise I'll make a topic about how much I love TYL and try to promote my similar music.... nobody will stop me!!! mwuhahahahaha

Looking down from the Highrise,
Staring back with your own eyes,
Playing games with the numbers,
Messing around with the dates

What amazes me most about meeting everyone who is part of this group is how much we are all seem to have in common with one another, just because we're touched by the same music. It feels like every time I turn around, I meet another facet of myself.  I've been part of teams and organizations in the past, but I've yet to feel such deep and immediate connections with others that I continually find with people on this site.  I don't fully understand it, and I don't necessarily care to.  All I know is that it makes me happy in a way that my soul truly needs!  This kind of stuff does not happen by accident!

And DCA, I'm stealing your reply to the question, as it's much more eloquent than my previous explanation to others: "Umm, it's kind a like a traveling sports team, except that were too lazy to play a sport."

thank you rena

and lmfao christine.....I have absolutely no recollection of that line although I am sure I muttered it haha!!

 

oh and teems you are a clearly a contributor - post away all that you may............my objection is of those who come with one intent

Wow DCA. What you have written is so lovely. How wonderful that there are people like yourself and all of Team Grayhead. It truly makes me feel so good inside to read all these beautiful thoughts from this beautiful group of people. I feel an odd combination of jealousy and satisfaction when reading about Team Grayhead's adventures. I hope that one day I can meet some of you and participate in an adventure myself.
