since i was unable to attend the david gray concert this past sunday, i decided to buy two albums of his: flesh and life in slow motion. both beautiful. what i love most about david gray's songs are the images in my mind that they inspire: midnight blues, lightning storms, tinsel waves, silver rain, "january rain" , frozen stars, sliced moons, moon splashed streets, they make me feel like i live inside of a star.

*On winter trees the fruit of rain

Is hanging trembling in the branches

Like a thousand diamond buds *

*Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light

Break in splinters on the pages where I write

That if I lost you, I don't know what I'd do

Burn forever where the flame turns blue*

*As sure as the rose

the bright day blooms

as surely still it fades

and the night kindles stars

on empty winds*

*The city gates at twilight

and a red ship sinking

behind winter's grey wall

ice in the wind*

*Feels like lightning running through my veins

Everytime I look at you*
