David Gray – Dear Life (Ltd Edn Green Vinyl 2LP)

Dear Life is David Gray’s 13th album. It’s the result of “a starburst of songwriting…it just seemed like the gods of songwriting were being kind.” An album of emotional crisis and resolution, mortality and faith, reality and illusion, love and heartbreak, magic, science, loss and acceptance. While it is full of yearning and hope, there is an undercurrent of darkness, a tension between competing forces of hope and despair: a cavalcade of emotions in what is his most lyrically focused collection to date.
