David Gray is back doing what he does better than almost anyone, and fans of complex, serious, lyrical songcraft should rejoice.
David Gray is a songwriter’s songwriter, one of those rare artists who can express themselves as fully through lyrics as through melody, a richly poetic wordsmith with vast musical flair. Dear Life is a big statement, the work of a driven man obsessively focussed on a personal artistic journey.
“I'm feeling very joyful about the act of making and sharing this music - and privileged to be doing so. But also strengthened - because I know that what I've done is as good as anything I can possibly ever do. I don’t know what people will make of it. But I have the same hopes and dreams whenever I release a record - that if you try and do something special, then maybe something magical will happen in return.”
