A live cd

"I may be the first to write a review about this single, but let's hope I will not be the last to shout from the rooftops, that it is a nice collection of songs. It features one song from each of what many believe to be his strongest albums. The two live songs recorded in dublin some time ago will undoubtedly stir memories or rightly entice people to want to experience the gray matter a fact views on life in the flesh"
Bloody Good!

"This is such a brilliant single! and got me on to his great albums...... It's not very often that you come across a singer which such sincerity in the songs he sing. And the confessional driven lyric is poemtic and beautiful to listen to...."
Absolutely Great

"This song is great! It is wonderful to listen to. It makes me think about snow and decorations and singing and happiness. This is a song that will make you just want to cry with tears of happiness. I think that it is a song full of meaning and understanding. It is well worth the price."
High & Dry is the worst Radiohead song

"Radiohead is my favorite rock band and I own 21 of their releases. The reviewer below said that "Babylon" sounds similar to and is inferior to Radiohead's "High & Dry." This is ridiculous. "High & Dry" is a cheesy, generic, soulless pop-tune. The Bends has some fine songs, but that's not one of them. David Gray's "Babylon" is a million times better. Better lyrics. Better music. Better vocals. Better in every way. It's such a peaceful, natural-sounding song, and one of David's best.For the most part, I'm a fan of more complex music (like IDM and jazz), but sometimes I'm in the mood for something simple. That's when I turn to David Gray. No one writes simple, beautiful music like he does.If you're a fan of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks or slow, acoustic music, David Gray is for you. I highly recommend checking out his 1994 album, Flesh, or his debut, A Century Ends."
