Please Forgive Me Lyrics:
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way, ah
When you look at me that way
Throw a stone
And watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into that mystery, ah
Deep into some mystery
I got half a mind
To scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I will never have to
Lose you girl
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye
Whoa I
Whoa I
Whoa I
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you

Anyone here in 2024? 🙂
I come back here from time to time :)
2/19/24- Yes, watching Scrubs S1 Ep1, J.D. first time on call. I still vividly remember walking in the door of the Cardiac Rehab Clinic my first day as an Exercise Physiology, intern. As soon as I got through the door, the Cardiac Nurse introduced herself and told me to get all the patients' BP, hooked up to ECG telemetry, and start warmup. I froze like a deer in headlights, just like J.D. in rounds and thought, "EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE!" Right after that thought, I was snapped back to reality by the sound of laughter coming from the room beside me. It was a full setup. Everyone knew I was coming. The nurse blasted me with that one knowing full well that it would paralyze me so she could run in and tell the others in the other room. They were still laughing as they introduced themselves to me. The nurse told me I passed. If I had pretended I knew exactly what to do, that would have been a bad sign. Rule#1: Never Fake It. Thus began the hazing. By the end of my internship, I was runnin'the show and, on the side, made an Excel workbook that crunched metabolic and workout data. That made for much more efficient planning and charting. That show and this song takes me back to all those unforgettable moments.
I was here in 1998
here all the time
Yes I'm still here
when i was young my dad used to play david gray in the car alot. The past ten years he suffered from MND the worst possible disease there is and sadly he passed away a few days before my 21st birthday a few years ago. today on the 19th of december is his birthday and ive only just come across these songs again for the first time since those car rides. in absolute tears right now typing this, i know for sure ill be in the car one day, with my kids in the back listening to these beautiful songs thinking about him.
I'm sorry to intrude , I'm a listener I always have been , I've got not long to live I wish I was drunk and it wasn't real
@guntervonhagen1485 I'm sorry for your situation, mate. Jesus Christ is our only hope. Seek him while you still have time. Blessings.
@@iiidaddylonglegsiii thank you for your reply so much, I have cjd , I worked in abattoirs since I was 12
@@guntervonhagen1485 Hey mate, thanks for your response. I had to look up what CJD was... that is rough to say the least. If you don't have a bible get one asap. Start with the gospels (matthew, mark, luke and John). If we are right with God we no longer have to fear death. I will be praying for you daily.
❤❤❤
When my dad dies 21 years ago i used to listen to this song through a tough time in my Life, more incredible to listen to it today 2024 🏴☠️🇩🇰🙏🏽
This man is a treasure….. typing this comment from Jamaica 🇯🇲… love his work
"SCRUBS" forever in our hearts!
Right, best soundtrack show along with House MD
David Gray is a wildlife ambassador these days, top man 👌🎧😎🎧❤️
Playing pool with my mates on a Friday night, everyone knew the words . Life was great 👍
A guy used to sing all Grays songs in a VIP area of a club in Accrington, Piano and all..... He was superb! My wife and I found the place after we decided to give our 7yr marriage another go. Divorce cancelled..... We celebrated our 25th silver wedding anniversary last October. Thanks in part to you Mr Gray 👍
Fantastic - forgiveness and Vunerability lead to deeper love ❤️
Nice ❤
Great story. I'm happy you guys made it through that rough period.
Yeah another guy I know sang just like David Gray... brilliant vocalist...
Nice my friend....nice...im going on 24 yrs married now and this song is a classic like always.
The memory of the girl you loved so much but it was not mean't to be. Comes flooding back when ever I hear this.🥰🥰😘
ow! you have to remind me of the lightning.
Brilliant song . White Ladder , in my opinion , is one of the best albums released in the past 25 years .
ThefightingCelt I bought this album and still play it a lot. A great album, that's for sure
The album just hit its 20th anniversary and David is going to celebrate it by touring the album one more time and releasing a remastered version with unreleased tracks and demos :) Support the legend that is David Gray
Yup
Amen
The fightingcelt.Totally agree white ladder album is superb and dead in the water album.
Who are the 1.2K people who lost interest in their life that Thumbed down this diamond?
He didn't sell his soul to those in control of the industry.... That's why we don't hear his music much any more...My utmost respect that he chose his family ❤
Didnt know that Anna, played his stuff endlessly at one point about 18 years ago, always wondered what happened with him. Dont need a follow up after those songs though, perfect for me at that time x
@@andylowe5491 sorry only just saw your message....I saw him a few years back in Birmingham symphony Hall, he was still epic...😍
his music never really came close to the standard of White Ladder again to be honest.
Anna achucourtney I think he did. His surname is Grey. There’s no grey area with God. He’s serving the darkness. He’s serving Lucifer.
He sold out his drummer that was his soul
Nostalgia, back when the world wasn't quite as shit.
agree
It's not that the world wasn't shit; it's that you've become more aware
Haha. The worlds always been shit, buddy. Be lucky that the West is in control (I’m assuming you live in a western corporate subsidized country)...
It’s not that the world is shit. It’s your view that is shit. Be selfish, fuck the rest of the world and do what you want, make yourself happy
Right
This just produced a memory from 2006. I was in bed during a week or so of depression. My then 7 year-old daughter knocks on the bedroom door. I considered pretending to be asleep as I was ashamed of being seen by her like that. Anyway, I can't remember if I answered but she comes in with drawing of a flower or a tree I think and says she drew it for me. I'm trying not to well up as she tells me she loves me and wraps her arms around my neck while snuggling into me. I tell her I love her too, just about managing to form the words with my eyes brimming. She then climbs off the bed and gently closes the door. I barely hear her tiptoe away. I sobbed at how much my heart ached due to the thought of being less of a father than she deserved! I'm just about holding it together as I write this! 😭
Beautiful
God that's just what I felt the other week your bot alone trust me❤😂
Keep pushing fella 💪🏻
I hope you have healed from your dark state mate it's not an easy journey through this life but there are lots of things to keep you going just like this beautiful moment and many more when you can keep going. Best wishes and keep strong.
This is beautiful this is love ❤
I feel like this era was the end of the simpler times, where people hadn't gone completely insane in an online world.
One of the only albums that no song gets skipped ...love David Gray❤
I love how one song can create so many different memories for people
❤️
@@svarovka 🔥❤🔥
Yup
Rachel S so true
For sure dublin in summer for me
If you're here, you have impeccable taste!
hadn't heard this song for 20 years until today and it bought a tear to my eye
peace and love man
Same for me mate I've got cancer of my jaw, love peaceful music like this
@@guntervonhagen1485 hey man I’ll keep you in my thoughts in prayers. I hope your able to take some time to heal and get back to livin soon
@@OneManCanStopTheMotorOfWorld thank you mate, everything happens for a reason
Feels like lighting running through my veins. I remember thinking that watching my daughter growing up...such a great song.
I'm glad you shared that with us.......
This too was I when I looked at my daughter in her hospital crib!! For the first time that we were introduced formally!! I just watched her for hours even though I was so so tiered from bringing her into this world.
So right ❤️
Good stuff Bro
Yes sir☺️🙏 well said
David Gray could do no wrong in my opinion. Saw him live once, an absolute privilege. The man is a musical hero
same Steve. saw him only one time but that show was pure magic.
Class song this
Agreed
He would if he hung out with me. Lol
Still one of the best songs of all time I love you David gray this is how true love feels🍾💙❤️
That's a great way to put it. Offbeat, yet in beat. Chaotic yet with perfect timing. Upbeat sound with sad deep lyrics. It's exactly like the whirlwind that is new love. This is a very meaningful song to me.
He dropped this at the end of my yokie days 😢😢it hit hard.
This is hands down one of the best albums produced in the past 20+ years amazing
scrubs didn't bring me here. What brought me here is that when I was a child me and my father would drive miles on end up to London because my mother left my father, he used to listen to David Gray a lot because it reminded him of her. That's what brought me here, the love my father has for my mother, just so you know they're together now and have been for 18 happy years.
+Joe Reaney (ScaryJOE99) How beautiful ! I'm smiling.
+Teresa Steele who knew JAMIE OLIVER was such a good singer as well !! just having a laugh here keep smiling LUV!!
Wonderful.
Beautiful story. Much love to you and your family.
love stumbling across these comments when I'm fishing for tunes 👍👍👍
Great song when on the pop and step back and think eres the time gone good times
this song sums up the early 2000s.
David this is still my favorite track from you mate, your an amazing musician! I was a single Dad. Brought up 3 daughters, so I've had an interesting life. There is something really naked in this that cuts thru the grist mate.
7 yrs ago I was struck by lightning in my backyard swimming pool out in Kansas. This song reminds me of the nurse who brought me back to health and would give me a forehead kiss every night after she bathed me and took me to the toilet. She would hum this song and I always think of her now when I hear it.
omg sammmeee but i was in kathmandu when this happened to me. Will always remember my nurse playing this song to get me thru it. Thank you Kavya will always remember u
@@superstageAC Thank you Sylvia LeBlanc!
This drummer is FABULOUS!!!!
And thank you for recording this song. Truly. I’m 70 and appreciate the please forgive me if I act a little strange. So there ARE more of me!
Was a complete rock bottom . This song found me . This song saved me for some crazy reason . God bless and Thankyou mr gray
Good.God bless
Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands and artists such as David Gray and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.
Junior year in college, I studied abroad in Spain. This album was the soundtrack to my time there. Whenever I put on White Ladder, I'm flooded with nothing but great memories. Thank you David, not only for this amazing album, but decades of great music. You are loved, and appreciated by so many!
2023 whos listening to this nostalgic master piece 🙏
white ladder is one of those rare albums that doesn't have a throwaway track on it.
When that guitar kicks man the feels every time
This is a timeless classic,listening to this in 2020,can I say this is better than 99% of the music that’s playing now on the radio stations...
BACK TO PERFRCT FORM.FIRST EVER GIG AND ABSOLUTELY IT, BLOWN AWAY.......Alan
OCD this song on repeat to Utah and California. Back and forth. Justin White
years ago when I broke up with my partner at the tender age of 17 I listened to this album heartbroken. we got back together had 16 wonderful years a son together a dog together and he went and died on me! so now I am listening to this again with what I now know to be a true broken heart. 💔💔
Sorry, life hurts.
Teri Robertson so sad take care x
God Bless you Teri, Whats beautiful about your story is you will one day be together, Just remember this he,s right by your side always and forever xx thinking about you
I'm so sorry for your loss but so glad you had 16 wonderful years. He will forever be a part of you... He planted a flag in your heart that will always be there. Sending you love and good vibes from the Midwest!
Sorry for your loss, but congratulations it sounds like you had a great 16 years with someone. Nothing is forever even if someone is alive. Remember the good memories. He will always be with you...
RIP MARK REID - one of his fave songs to 'seranade' me LOL - 30.12.62 - 28.6.2016 with love from Steph and Spidercat xxx 💕✌️😊 missu so much Marky xx
Listen to that drum
If you listen to this in 2021, you'll have a good year because you're awesome.
My wife and I’s wedding song. Still mad in love 15 years later. I picked this cos the words are perfect.
What gets me about this song is that it’s full of joy but also desperate pain. It feels like it’s about someone he adores but knows in the end he can’t have - ‘I’ve got half a mind to die, so I won’t ever have to lose you, won’t ever have to say goodbye...’
this is happing to me right now.
2023 still making me cry lol
This song now reminds of how better times in the U.K. back in the 1970s,1980s, and 1990s.
I played this album non stop when I was at home with two beautiful children and realised I was trapped in a toxic marriage it saw me through the hardest of times .
If being trapped in a 'toxic' marriage is a price you must pay to raise kids in a two-parent household, then you do that. You're the one who picked the man. You make the best of it until those kids are raised.
@@Skindoggiedog Nonsense advice. All proper research shows children are better of away from tension and conflict or lovelessness.
What does research say about single mother households? When it comes to criminals and predators? I know do you?
Toxic women no good best thing is get out of it all the best
Haven't heard / watched this for ages. Its fucking beautiful.....
Memories ❤good times
As a Holloway lad this song has so much meaning hay Camden town
“Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow, moving out across the bay” Gets me every time that line.
David Gray was a brilliant cure for the Grunge hangover. This song made me want to be a romantic again.
If you lived in the 90s and don’t know a few David gray songs u probably lived under a rock 🪨 great songs
A peace song bk wen things were heavy....BELFAST WILL ALWAYS BE HERE..
An amazing artist
Can't believe this song is 20 years old !!!
A BEAUTIFUL RENDITION THAT IS DAVID GRAY....A SOUND....A PATH....A COMPLETE WORD....THAT LEADS YOU INTO THE WAY YOU SEE LIFE..THROUGH YOUR EYE'S ....THAT'S THE MEANING OF LIFE....DAVID GRAY A BEAUTIFUL RENDITION .... FROM MY PERSPECTIVE SELF IN MIND BODY AND SOUL.... COLOUR BY 1970 "MASSIMO"..
David, please come back !.... I get half mile to say bring back the 90s!
This song reminds me of my dad, just like all David Gray songs.
This song and video touches me on many levels. Thank you David for your music and hard work❤️ We are listening❤️
I'm sorry for everything R. We have entire lifetimes between us now but this will always be our song.
David grey class singer
An absolute nostalgic classic by mr Gray
These drums 🥁
David Gray was so underrated in 90s early 2000s what a voice man.....
He was a legend in Ireland at that time
White Ladder may be my favorite album of all time.
Damn I miss listening to David Gray.
i feel twice alive with this song.
Ditto
This mans' voice is absolutely unique deep beautiful probably the best voice i have ever heard. I love him
He sounds decidedly Dylanesque.
Thank you Mr gray great song ove my life thank you
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ you know who you are ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Used to sing this whole album, word for word. My memory is singing it in the back of a tiny Fiat Uno car van as me and a mate drove two birds we met in the pub back to a party. Plenty of anthems on this album for those carefree times. 😄 Gray was unbelievably popular in Ireland back then.
This is one of my favourite songs ever written . Reminds me of my Dad picking me up from work in 2000 , he passed away 2001. Always remembered x

Amazing song about pure love for my wife
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 thats what its all about
Lovely...best wishes Mr Gray xxxx
he showed the way forward he done everything himself
Love that daft dance he does when he's acting "a little strange". His easy going personality shines thru in this vid
2020 still unbelievable song wow wow wow
A proper song writer
My favorite love song this Valentines day. 💝 Lightnin
Who's here in 2021 🙋♂️
There’s nothing for sale in this video no product placement. Just pure talent The good old days. Take me back
Promised myself I wouldn't cry, but hey, life is for living.
Memories with my dad as a kid driving along listening to David gray albums everytime I hear his songs shivers go through me
likewise brother. let me guess youre in your early 30s... ?
I fall in love with this song each and every time I hear it.
Great memories of being near 8, grandad and dad taking us fishing do do dooing, best memories with the best music
Great song from a great bloke
No TV programs just great music from a great musician
man this song is so simple, yet so amazing
I think those drum fills are pretty complex. In fact, part of what I love so much about this song is the complex and almost manic drums in comparison with apologetic, slower, and simple melody sung by David Gray. It captures the anxiety, the regret, and the excitement. It's painfully sobering all the way through. And it's easily one of my favorite songs.
Louis S, that's why he's so great 👍
@@madmanswhispers True, that said the song is pretty simple, especially the parts that David himself as brought and simple is absolutely a compliment in this context as far as I'm concerned, as all of the best songs off this album are really simple and yet they are some of the best songs ever written, I've spent a long time trying to make a simple love song as good as this guy and I have failed at every turn so maybe it isn't so simple after all.
The only David Gray album I've bought......this song hit me hard.... absolutely class album and this one the best of them all.... Fcking I just realized this makes me old ffs
Where are you David You have e so Many fans….Please don’t say goodbye
This song reminds me of being 15 and feeling overwhelmed by life. I'm now 27 and still feeling overwhelmed by life. Some things never change.
Same I'm just two years younger , this song screams early 2011 & being 13 for me
I’m 34 mate and still feel like that. It doesn’t change.
Timeless, and I never get sick of it. I can listen to endlessly. If I was on a desert island and could only take one album, this would be it.
to the lady who still lingers in a broken heart 😎
davids best song by far.
Amazing Song!!!
Right
