This is a lovely number for a cheeky Sunday morning by David Gray. Taken from his fourth album Sell Sell Sell, Smile is a intimate track where Gray's voice is quite gravelly and you feel that you are sharing a road trip with him as he is watching someone he loves in their every day movements. It is intimate because explaining why you smile at certain things that people do, especially if its someone you love, can be really difficult to explain to anyone outside a relationship. For me, there is something about this song and the lyrics that embraces the connection between two lovers; which makes it a gem of a song.Sell Sell Sell is David's Gray's third album released in 1996 and before White Ladder brought him the internationally and commercial success; and I found the album only after buying White Ladder, but I am so glad I did. We are so lucky with the amount of great male song writers in the UK.
