David Gray has two things in his life — and only two. "It's whittled itself down now to music and family," the British singer-songwriter said in Sunday's editions of the San Francisco Chronicle. "I would say those are my two priorities and my two strengths. I'm not much of a friend and I'm utterly unreliable in most respects."
Gray, who rocketed to fame with the CD "White Ladder" and its radio hit "Babylon," has a new album, "Life in Slow Motion," that is being called darker than his previous work.
"I just don't want to satisfy myself with some sort of glib assertion that everything is going to be OK. When I hear Bob Marley sing, 'Everything is going to be all right,' I believe him because he was saying it from a certain perspective and his soul was ingrained in problems and ghetto life," he said.
"That's a different perspective and I can't pretend to have it. I'm looking forward to that feeling coming back."
