Say Hello IS Gray’s song no doubt. It always sounded familiar I almost knew the chorus but I could never place it for years until I pulled out my Soft Cell Singles disc and my mind blew. This is like when Cash covered Rusty Cage or Hurt…Chris and Trent said it’s HIS song. On the inside of the CD Sleeve it says “Quotations at the end of Say Hello..” are taken from “Into the Mystic and “Madam George” written by Van Morrison and are used with permission. It’s belongs to David though!

Cheers,
Ryan

Hi Chris,
Thanks for stopping by. Try clicking the word “Rosamo” above the video, it just worked for me. Here is the direct link.

Chris the drummer from Scrabbel here. Thanks for the post. I would love to see the video footage. It appears to be dead. Anyway of uploading it again???

Whoo! I was there :] Awesome show, just a shame I wasn’t closer. By the way, I thought that it was John Deacon playing drums, not Roger Taylor?

Thank you for the audio rip though! When I’ve got some money then I’ll have to get the dvd to relive the show.

Apropos great covers, I thought of pointing you to…

Apropos great covers, I thought of pointing you to M Ward’s cover of ‘Let My Love Open The Door’… and of course I found you posted it already (the same time you Posted another great Gray song, ‘Tidal Wave’)

Searching for other covers from that album I found you once posted ‘Tonight You Belong To Me’ – Eddie Vedder and Janet Weiss (of Quasi) Any chance that little morsel could be posted again?

I can point you towards the Josh Ritter version if you don’t have it.

I was running errands today & in one of the stores they were playing “Caroline”. I hadn’t thought about David Gray in a long time. So I come home, check your blog and it’s on David Gray as well. Good stuff!

Yes, indeed.

Oh, and also, the “…we were born before the wind…

Oh, and also, the “…we were born before the wind…” vamp is pulled from Van’s “Into The Mystic”. An incredible song, if you’re not familiar with it. Thanks again Heather.

I couldn’t agree more. A friend bought me “White Ladder” as a birthday gift when it came out. It’s a great album, but that was the song that most grabbed me. I also couldn’t believe it was a Soft Cell tune, and I really don’t care for the original. Gray’s cover reminds me of some of Van Morrison’s long, poetic “rambles” (and I mean that in a complimentary fashion), like his “Sweet Thing”. I saw David Gray open for Shawn Colvin many years ago (like, 10) and I was duly impressed. Great stuff.

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson

Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.
