Life in Slow Motion is the seventh studio album by English singer-songwriter David Gray, released in 2005. Following a muted response to his previous album, A New Day at Midnight, this album is seen by many as a considerable return to the form that brought Gray international acclaim with White Ladder.

The singles from the album are "The One I Love", "Hospital Food" & "Alibi". "Disappearing World" was dropped as the fourth release, as "Alibi"'s charting position saw that the predicted single wouldn't do well.[citation needed]

It was also released in DualDisc format.
