Gavin deGraw doet verschillende pogingen om een muzikale studie te volgen. Maar uiteindelijk slaagt hij daar niet in omdat hij het optreden vele malen leuker vond. De Amerikaanse zanger valt juist op als hij op het podium staat en in 2002 begint hij met de opnames van zijn debuutalbum Chariot, dat een jaar later verschijnt.
Een opmerkelijke rij noteringen begint met I Don’t Want To Be, dat bij ons in 2005 zijn debuut in de Top 40 is. De zanger scoort tien hits in de Top 40, waarvan alleen Soldier (2012, #13) geen alarmschijf is geworden. Geen van de nummers weet de top 10 te bereiken; Chariot (2005) is met een 12e plaats de single die de hoogste positie bereikt.
In 2013 verschijnt het vijfde studioalbum van deGraw, Make A Move. Zowel Who’s Gonna Save Us als ook de titeltrack belanden in de tipparade.
In 2014 verschijnt het album Finest Hour: The Best Of Gavin DeGraw. Fire is zijn tiende Alarmschijf en komt eind augustus in de Top 40.
Het vijfde studioalbum van DeGraw, Something Worth Saying, verschijnt in het najaar van 2016. Daarvan verschijnen She Sets The City On Fire en Making Love With The Radio On als singles.
Songtekst
Melt AntarticaSavin' Africa
I failed algebra
And I miss you sometimes
We're at war again
Save the world again
You can all join in
But you can't smoke inside
You said: take me home
I can't stand this place
Cause there's too many hipsters
And I just can't relate
You're my neon gypsy
My desert rain
You're my helter skelter
Oh, how can I explain
That you're the best I ever had
And I'm trying not to get stuck in my head
But I read that soda kills you and Jesus saves
On a bathroom wall where I saw your name
You're the best I ever had
I won't be the same
Night sky full of drones
This neighborhood of clones
I'm looking at the crowd
And they're staring at their phones
They groom the coastline here
It's starting to disappear
And maybe once a year
I think to clean my car
I caught my reflection
I dropped the call
I've been medicating
With cigarettes and alcohol
I got verigo
No, I can't see straight
I got obligations
Though I'm usually late
But you're the best I ever had
And I'm trying not to get stuck in my head
But I think I dropped my wallet in Santa Fe
Lost the only picture I had of you that day
And you're the best I ever had
I won't be the same
Hey, West Virginia
Hey, North Dakota
I think I love you
But don't even know ya
Hey, Massachusetts
Hey, Minnesota
I think I love you
But don't even know ya
Hey, Carolina
Hey, Oklahoma
I think I love you
But don't even know ya
Hey, Alabama
Hey, California
I think I love you
But don't even know ya
You're the best I ever had
And I'm trying not to get stuck in my head
But I passed a lonely sign on the interstate saying
Find someone fore it gets too late
You're the best I ever had
I won't be the same
Hey, West Virginia
Hey, North Dakota
I think I love you
But don't even know ya
Hey, Massachusetts (You're the best)
Hey, Minnesota (I ever had)
I think I love you
But I won't be the same
Yeah
I won't be the same
