Talk:David Gray (British musician)

message: I recall Dead in the Water from A New Day At Midnight being a single in some form - perhaps only promotional. Does anyone know anything else about this? --Greg K Nicholson 20:42:06, 2005-08-31 (UTC)
Not sure about the UK, possibly a promotional release. But Dead In The Water was definitely released as a single in the US, where it was a minor hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The record label felt the song was better tailored to the liking of American audiences than Be Mine, which was the equivalent commercial singles chart release in the UK {194.63.116.72 12:09, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

message: In the section where it discusses David Gray's career, the article credits "This Year's Love" and "Babylon" as his best known songs.
White Ladder; this was a critical and commercial success and included his best-known songs, "This Years Love" and "Babylon".
The author may want to retool this as U.S. audiences, while familiar with the popular "Babylon" would more easily recognize "Please Forgive Me" or "Sail Away" as opposed to "This Year's Love".

message: It says on the page for the category of 'Taper-friendly musicians' that their policy of being accepting towards fans who bootleg concerts must be clearly documented in the article, but I can't see where this is documented. Shouldn't either he be removed from this category or have his status as taper-friendly noted and cited? 81.107.212.148 14:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've added chronologies to the necessary articles. Haven't specified the correct genre (I know it's not pop), so feel free to select the one that suits best. - Dudesleeper 05:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I notice that in the "musical direction" section, the notes stopped after Life In Slow Motion. DG has had three albums after that, and has used a wide variety of instruments. This can be found in the lyric booklets in the CDs. The only thing I remember is that he definitely used French horns for "Nemesis" on Draw the Line. Also, the "citation needed" after "a technique which differentiates him from many of his peers" seems to be more of an opinion rather than an unbiased observation. There are plenty of people who do the same things DG does. Emily Townsend (talk) 21:26, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
