I almost don’t know what to say about David Gray. He’s been such a big part of the last 3.5 years of my life. I started listening to him in January 2005. I remember the date so clearly, because that’s the exact time I started studying theology. Both struck me like lightening out of a clear sky. In the time since I started listening to David Gray, the direction of my life has completely shifted. Or, more accurately, I found direction in my life that I didn’t have before. Maybe I would be here even if I’d never heard his voice, but it’s hard to imagine I’d be the same person. You know that feeling when you come across someone who speaks so directly to you that it’s hard to remember you don’t really know them, and they don’t know you? That’s how I feel about David Gray. In some strange way, he’s helped to muster in me the courage to seek out what I want in life, though it means making myself vulnerable.
As a final note, see him live if you ever get a chance. I promise the head bobbing alone is worth it.
