...Born in Manchester in 1970, David moved to Wales at an early age, where he showed creative instincts from early on. He went to art college, only to realise that the guitar and singing was his real passion (and where he thought the money would be!). His first single was 'Birds Without Wings', which was later featured on his debut, 'A Century Ends'. The album was released in 1993 on Caroline Records to critical acclaim, yet vital radio airplay proved elusive. There was a defining song on this album, however, that would radically affect his direction. It was 'Shine'. The song was played by Irish DJ Donal Dineen on his late-night music TV show, where a growing fan population emerged. Dineen persuaded Gray to come over to Dublin, where he played in Whelans (a traditional music haunt for many a starting band/singer). That was the start...

<4> Seven Years In Tibet (6:22) (Bowie, Gabrels)
One of the star tracks of the album in my opinion, this song was inspired by the book of the same title, which Bowie had read as a teenager. The book was an autobiographical work, dealing with political events in Tibet that had led to mass killing in that country. A slow, sinister drumbeat starts the song and when Bowie’s vocals break in, they are soft, distant and tinged with sadness. “You’ve been shot in the head and I’m holding you brains, the old woman said, so I drink in the shadows of an evening sky, see nothing at all”. Fittingly for a song about needless death, the sorrow builds to an angry crescendo with Gabrels’ thunderous waves of guitar and Bowie’s vocal gaining strength and clarity...

A few of the lyrics were changed to fit in with the show but it was hardly noticable. Even if you dont think you have ever heard an Abba song I guarantee you will be singing along anyway and somehow know all of the lyrics!
