This album gives me chills. This album makes my toes curl. This album makes me want to cry and it makes me want to sing. Sometimes I do. It's beautifully sung and performed. "Young love" is simply genious. Listening to it is like reading a love story that stretches far beyond the 3 something minutes that the song is, yet it captures everything about it.
The lyrics to several of the songs are my everyday thoughts. I can't figure anything else but you having been through a lot in order to be able to sing about love and life so earnestly and geniously. "Untamed", "Cheated on Me", "We Belong Together", "Medicate the Kids", "She Hold a Key", "Next to Me", "Relative", "Cop Stop", "Let it Go"... I could listen to them forever.

Thank you, this album is one of my favorites among every album I have ever loved.

Come back to Norway, please.

Your music is magic and I would love to see you live. I don't think I could ever forgive myself for missing your concerts in Norway if you never come back, but believe me it was not by choice. It really really really was not by choice. Haa.
Make my day, my week, my month, my year - my life - and come play for me and the rest of your faithful Norwegian fans. It's not THAT cold here, I promise! Haha.
I wish I knew you; Because you are a such a great musician, I'd like to think you're a great person too.

"Free" is beautiful, just so you know. I have yet to love it as much as this album, but it is an amazing album nonetheless. I think I like "Why Do the Men Stray" the most. Or "Mountains to Move".

You have helped me through some hard times.
I Have You to Thank,

Maria.

I'm absolutely in love with both Gavin's albums but this one seems to "speak" to me more. Songs like Young Love and She Holds A Key just make you want to sit down and cry. While others like Cop Stop and Medicate the Kids make you want to get up and dance!!! I pretty much listen to this CD everyday and I switch between the 2 since both have a way of making you feel different emotions. I am so excited about the new CD and I'm counting down the days until it comes out. I can't wait to see Gavin at The National in April either!!!!

The man stood there
for once he was in light
but,
the bright light had now changed it's focus
It now concentrated
on the flower way up high
Whilst he took in the adulation from all
he fixed his stare
caught in the moment
the flower was now his focus
The flower was frozen
as was he
and when the sun moved behind the cloud once more
it was no longer in his line of sight
but
the flower could once again see him.

I love Gavins Lyrics but these are exceptional. Simple and truthful. This one really comes from the heart. I think if i found the one person I wanted to be with for life, I would play them this song. I wouldnt have to say another thing, its perfrect. Its not over the top with 'forevers' and ridiculous lines of Lost loves. Its down to earth, the way real love is.

Me and my sister absolutely love you we tried to work out a way to come to london to see you but we couldn't get the time off work. is there any way you would consider coming to scotland we would love to see you live we have all your cd's and our rooms are plastered with pics of u please please come to scotland please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely love you and your music. Your voice is amazing as is your song writing. I love all your songs especially In Love With a Girl, Young Love, Relative, and Just Friends and More Than Anyone from Chariot. You seem like a real down to earth genuine guy, I cant get over you!! I saw you at the Astoria London in November 2008 and it was one of the best nights of my life, cant wait to see you again, love Andrea xx

GAVIN!

PLEASE, CAME TO BRAZIL. TO RIO DE JANEIRO. YOUR MUSIC IS MAGIC. I FELL IN LOVE ON THE FIRST TIME I HEARD.

BRAZIL IS A GREAT PLACE, WITH MANY BEAUTIFUL PLACES TO KNOW, AND THE PEOPLES ARE MUCH ANXIOUS TO SEE AND HEARD YOU SINGING HERE.

YOU ARE AMAZING!!
BRAZILIAN KISSES !!!!

I love this CD! I got it the day it came out and I'm alternating between this cd and live in soho. I love the song "young love". I just saw Gavin in Lancaster, PA and I admit it, I cried during young love. i just love how all the songs are from the heart. You can feel that he pours his heart into ever note of music. You can tell he has a passion for what he does. And I loved at the concent he mixes in humor, which brought me in! Eventhough on some of the songs, I think I was the only one old enough to remember them at age 35!! I have bought this CD for a few of my friends for Christmas to get them hooked too. Thank you Gavin for putting out such a heart felt cd!!

Please come back to Sweden!

Your voice is amazing!

I bought the cd and loved it so much, I listened to it on constant repeat... which sadly broke my laptop. Still listening to it nonstop! Every song made the cd worth the money. Not a single rotten egg on it.

Can't wait to see Gavin live in Florida!

I agmit: In the begining I just know the songs from One Tree Hill!
But I loved your voice so my sister got me a ticket to see you in Belgium and i just felt in love
the moment I heard you singing and saw you of course!

it was an unbelievible moment that I will never forget and I thank my sister a lot to show me a new love!

Gavin,, You're great! Keep up the good work

Hope to see you again soon!

I'm so happy I had the possibility to join the concert in Munich!

There's just one word for you Gavin: WOW! Your music is truly amazing and you have made a huge process with the self-titled album Gavin DeGraw. Although, I can't seem to decide whether I like Chariot or this one the most. I guess it depends on which mood you're in. Still, you have gotten very far with your music and you should be proud. I love you for who you are and for the music you're creating <3 Don't ever let the music go...

Hi Gavin, Ik went to your concert in Ghent last saterday and it was really amazing. So me and my friend just bought tickets for your show in Rotterdam on sunday. I'm looking forward to see you play again. I will see you on sunday in Rotterdam:)

Greetings from Caroline

I know you're in norway now, but you really have to come back next year !
You're new cd is amazing. Just love your music. Young love, I just can't stop listening to that song . you're an amazing artist . I really wanted to see you live. Hope you come back to norway !

It´s so amazing how u´r lyrics can touch me so much. I mean nearly every song. It feels like
u´r songs are telling aloud what i´ve been thinking but i just can´t put my thoughts together. I just check´d some of u´r interview and u said something like that u hope people could get "strenght" from u´r music like it helps u. Well, in this case it really does!!=) I totally can identify my self with u´r songs and lyrics,so wonderful. Thank you for that.
There is only one problem, u should come to Finland!! Tonight u had a concert in Sweden but i couldn´t be there.
Anyway u´r doing a good job with u´r music and i really hope u keep doing it in the future!! And I´m going to get to u´r concert way or another!!

Hope u all the best,

hedda

This is true music, we haven´t had that in a while... I just wish my music can make people feel a small fraction of what yours makes me feel...
Your voice is amazing, I wish I could hear your dad sing someday (if YOU say it´s dynamite, it must be out of this world). "BESOS"

Maria

You have got a warm and capturing voice with such a modern vibe! I must say I love all your songs. I travel between the UK and Italy and your songs are constantly aired at all the best radios.... you must come to Europe!
