David Gray

About this episode

<p>David Gray is one of those artists whose music has genuinely soundtracked people's lives. Babylon, Please Forgive Me, This Year's Love — songs that felt deeply personal to millions of people all over the world. </p><br><p>But what really sits at the heart of David's story is something so pure and so human — a love of music so deep and so consuming that it has driven everything he has ever done. And then there's the live experience — the extraordinary connection that happens between an artist and an audience when a song lands in a room full of people (even if touring is sometimes difficult). For David, that feeling is everything. He's a perfect Midpoint guest because reaching this point in life and career doesn't dim that fire — if anything it deepens it. The love of the craft, the thrill of performing, the relationship with an audience built over decades — at the midpoint, all of that means more, not less. </p><br><p>His story is really a love story — between an artist, his music, and the people who have shared it with him. This is a joyful, warm and deeply honest conversation about creativity, connection and what it means to dedicate your life to something you truly love.</p><br><p>David Gray’s new album&nbsp;Nightjar,&nbsp;a companion to his 2005 No.1 record&nbsp;Life in Slow Motion,&nbsp;is out now via Bella Figura. He’ll be touring across the UK and Ireland this summer as part of his&nbsp;Past &amp; Present World Tour&nbsp;(21 dates).</p><br><p>More info:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.davidgray.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>https://www.davidgray.com/</u></a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
