Question: What keeps you up at night?
David Gray: Keeps me up at night. Well what keeps me up at night is generally, mainly music related. So, I'll be stressing about stuff to do about a song or a recording, something that's not right, or trying to find words that I don't have yet for a song. And when I'm in real writing mode, that stuff will keep me up all night. I mean, I'll drive myself mad. And I sort of go into a state of agitation. So, I'm not a great sleeper, so I think it seems to be getting worse as well. It's just generally ideas. Yeah, so I'm obsessive at things a little bit. I have to make lists all the time to calm myself down. So, unfinished songs and potential albums, potential album titles, it goes on and on. So, it's generally that stuff.
